Gift Wrapped

Hello again friends,

Here’s a simple card which could be used for any occasion just by changing the Designer Series Paper.

I attached the ‘Tis the Season 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#153489) to Real Red card (#106578). Then I wrapped the beautiful Shaded Spruce Argyle Satin Ribbon from the Wonder Of The Season Ribbon Combo Pack (#153537) around the card like it is gift wrapped. The card front was attached to the Whisper White base card (#106549). I stamped the bow from the Gift Wrapped stamp set (#p153432) using Shaded Spruce ink (#147088) and this was punched with the Gift Bow Builder Punch (#153606). I coloured the bow with Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends (#154903) and Real Red Stampin’ Blends  (#154899) and as usual, added some sparkle using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#147897) on the green colour of the bow. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the bow to the card.

I also stamped the little tag and holly leaves using Real Red ink (#147084) and Shaded Spruce ink. This was also punched with the Gift Bow Builder punch. “Celebrate in Style” was stamped with Real Red ink and I cut this with a Tasteful Labels Die (#152886). I attached the tiny tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the larger tag, then attached the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewel (#146924) to the tag.

Have a great weekend and I hope you can find time to do something creative.

‘Tis The Season Designer Series Paper

Hi,

Here’s a very easy card after a very busy day. You don’t need a lot of stamping when you have designer paper.

I attached the smaller piece of DSP to the larger piece of DSP. Both these papers are from the ‘Tis the Season 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#153489). The ribbon is from the Boho Indigo Product Medley (#153132) and I wrapped 2 pieces around the Designer Paper, before attaching this to the Whisper White card base (#106549). I stamped the sentiment from the Dove Of Hope stamp set (#153406) onto Whisper White card with Real Red ink (#147084), and cut it with a Painted Labels Die (#151605). The Garden Green card (#108605) was cut with a Stitched So Sweetly die (#151690). I punched a hole with the Detailed Trio punch (#146320) at the top of the green card to thread the Gold trim through. This trim is part of the Forever Greenery Trim Combo pack (#152475). Then I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the green die cut piece to the card. The Wonderful Gems (#153536) were added to the sentiment.

Have a great day!!

Mini Coffee Carrier and Mini Coffee Cups

Hi & welcome,

Have you seen the cute little coffee cups and carrier in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue? They are great for gifts filled with sweets or whatever other goodies you would like to add. The cups are even suitable for drinks up to 93 degrees Celsius (200 F).

Each Mini Coffee Carrier (#153508) holds 2 of the Mini Coffee Cups (#153493). You could decorate them for any celebration, not just Christmas. I have decorated the carrier using the ‘Tis The Season 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#153489). I then wrapped the gold ribbon from the Boho Indigo Product Medley (#153132), attaching it with the Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I stamped the bow from the Gift Wrapped stamp set (#153432) with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129) and it was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I coloured the bow with Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899) and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends (#154903) and punched it with the Gift Bow Builder Punch (#153606). I die cut the little hearts from Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) using a die from the Warm Wraps Dies (#153521).

The Warm Wraps dies were also used to cut the ‘Tis the Season Designer Paper for the cups. You need 2 pieces for the wraps for each cup and 2 pieces for the scalloped pieces for the top and 2 for the bottom for each cup. I used Real Red card (#106578) and Shaded Spruce card (#147006) for the scalloped edges. There is a little tab to be able to join the 2 pieces of the wrap. I used a bone folder (#102300) to help curve the wrap before assembling it. The greetings on the cups and on the carrier are from the Wrapped In Christmas stamp set (#153481) and stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088) and Real Red ink (#147084). These were all cut with another die from the Warm Wrap Dies. The sentiments and bow were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals  (#144108). I used the Gold Metallic Trim which is part of the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (#152475) and this was attached to the label on the carrier.

Have a crafty day!!

Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder

Hi and welcome to another week,

The August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue is available from Tuesday 4th August so I am using some new products on this card as well as others from the Annual Catalogue.

The base card is Whisper White (#106549), followed by Garden Green card (#108605). I dry embossed the Soft Sea Foam card (#147012) with the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder (#153576). I used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897) on the embossed trees. This not only added glimmer to the trees but also slightly darkened the trees. I attached the ‘Tis The Season 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#153489) to the card, then wrapped the 3/8” Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon (#151155) around the card. I coloured the berries on the Designer Paper (which were white) with Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899). Christmas Blessings is from the Wrapped In Christmas stamp set (#153481) and this was stamped with Garden Green ink (#147089) and I used a die from the Stitched Rectangles (#151820) to cut it. There isn’t a die this size in the set, so I cut it then repositioned it to get the correct size. The sentiment is attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves were cut from Garden Green card with the Beautiful Boughs Dies (#150661). I also used the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush on these leaves. The Red Velvet Paper (#153490) was used to cut the berries from the Poinsettia Dies (#153522). The leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for the berries. A Real Red Wonderful Gem (#153536) was added to the sentiment.

Enjoy your day!!
