Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Another favorite thing of mine from the Holiday Catalog is the Festival of Trees Bundle. I had a class last month and we made two Gift Card Enclosures using this bundle and two Christmas Cards. I'll post the card over the next two blog post.

I stamped the trees in versa mark and then embossed with clear embossing powder, I also created the same enclosure but embossed with white embossing powder. The belly band was created using the All is Calm DSP paper. I also embossed a few trees on the inside and added a few more snowflakes.

I am in love with the new Gift Card Enclosures. They are so quick and easy to decorate and fit any occasion, weddings, birthday, anniversary graduations, etc. This one I created for Christmas but you could easy change the inside greeting to fit your special occasion.

I used the Star Mask and daubed Real Red ink on the out side of the Enclosure, so fast and very cute don't you think.

The inside is just as easy to decorate and I love the little slits that are already cut just waiting for your gift card. Really it doesn't get much easier then this.

Freaky Friends

This set "Freaky Friends" remind me of Monsters Inc., I love that movie! I use to watch it a lot with my 2 year old granddaughter; cuddle time. She is now 7 and still loves to cuddle her with Grandma. :o))

I made my own little banners for this card, I wanted a different size then the Banner Framelits make. Check out the inside of the card.

I need to design a second card using this idea. I won this set at the Annual Catalog Premier in Orlando. This is the first time I used it, I just couldn't figure out what to do with.

Here are the items used to create this card.

Gift Box Punch Board

Oh my goodness, I love this punch board!

The first thing I did when I received my Gift Box Punch Board was to make every box sizes out of all the different papers that Stampin' Up! offers. 

DSP

Heavy Kraft Paper

Vellum

Card Stock

Window Sheets

Foil Paper

This weekend I work on a few new projects. It feels like forever since I really spent the whole weekend playing with paper and it really has refreshed my spirit.

With Halloween right around the corner I decided to play with the Gift Box Punch Board and the new holiday bundle "Fall Fest" & "Fun Fall Framelits Dies. 

If you bundle and use the item #137628 you'll save 15%. Why wouldn't you want those wonderful framelits to cut out all the cute stamps, no fussy cutting: love framelits! I made this cute little Halloween Box, the pumpkin faces make me smile and I wish for cooler weather here in Florida.

I made a 2.5" x 2.5" x 4" box using the Box Punch Board which made this quick and easy. I only used the corner rounder on two of the opposite top tabs and then punched a 1/4" whole in the other two tabs to run the ribbon through. 

I decorated the box using the Fringe Scissors to make the grass and then the Fall Fest stamp set and Fun Fall Framelits to cut all the pumpkins and leaves; so quick and easy. The tag was made with the new "Note Tag Punch" which is also offered in a bundle on page 13 of your Holiday Catalog. The sentiment comes for the new set called "And Many More" page 20 of the Annual Catalog. Take a good look at this set, it has a sentiment for everything, a must have on my list.

"Autumn Wooden Elements" are great little embellishments perfect for all your fall cards and gifts.

I decorated all 4 sides of the box. Use the Fall Bundle for your Thanksgiving items, just leave the face off the pumpkins.

Here are the items that I used to create this fun little box.

AUTUMN WOODEN ELEMENTS Price: $4.95

FALL FEST PHOTOPOLYMER BUNDLE Price: $34.75 GIFT BOX PUNCH BOARD Price: $19.95 NOTE TAG PUNCH Price: $16.95 FRINGE SCISSORS Price: $9.95 LINEN THREAD Price: $4.50 HELLO HONEY 3/8" SATIN STITCHED RIBBON Price: $8.95 AND MANY MORE CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET Price: $26.95

Beautiful New Designer Series Paper!

Would you love to have all the patterns and colors at your fingertips. Well I have the answer for you that is way cheaper then ordering every package of DSP Paper from the New 2014-2015 Stampin' Up! Catalog.

There are 8 packages of DSP Paper,  2 packages of Specialty DSP, 2 packs of DSP Paper Stacks (they are 4 1/2” x 6 1/2”) and Heavier Kraft Cardstock: see list below.

I will order them all and then cut the 12x12 packages into 6x6 pieces and you will get a square of each design from each pack.  The pieces won't be identical because of the way the patterns are printed on the DSP, but you will still get an awesome assortment to create with. For the paper stacks you will get a 4 1/2” x 6 1/2” piece of each design as well. You will also receive 6 6x6 pieces of the new Heavier Kraft Cardstock. I can’t wait to run this through my big shot.

Below is a picture of the inside of the box with the two dividers inside, you will adhere all your decoration to them making sure to keep all of them within the size of a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" card so it fixes in the medium size envelope.

In the Forest

I fell in love with this cute little set "Life in the Forest!" Using this set I made this adorable card. 

There's the fox hiding in the tall grass at the forest edge.

I don't know why it looks blue behind the tall grass, I think it's because of the lighting when I took the picture.

I used watercolor paper and I stamped the trees in Stazon Ink and colored them with ink pads and a blender pen. I took a smaller piece of watercolor paper and stamped with Stazon Ink the fox and fussy cut him out and also colored him with a blender pen. I created the tall grass using the fringe scissors and hid the fox in the tall grass. 

This set is also available in MDS with a couple of additional images.

Stamp: Life In the Forest

Ink: Old Olive, Cajan Craze, Early Espresso

Paper: Watercolor Paper, Old Olive, Basic Black

Accessories: Fringe Scissors, Blender Pen
