16 Comments

21 Oct
Hello, my crafty friends, 
Welcome to my blog. 
My today’s card for the Creativity Abounds October Design Team Blog Hop.

The theme for October Blog hop and the Tutorial – Any Christmas Bundle.

You will see different Christmas cards from this Tutorial using the different Christmas Stamp sets in the blog hops and for Tutorials.

A group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from worldwide are coming together to share our creative ideas with you.   

Click below to Purchase the Tutorial Bundle. 

I am using the ‘ Painted Christmas Suite’. One of my favourite suites from the Mini Catalogue.

Measurements:

  • Evening Evergreen Base card – 10.5 cm by 27.9 cm scored @ 14.9 cm
  • Layer 1: Embossed Evening Evergreen ( use any embossing folder )
  • Layer 2 Evening Evergreen: 10 cm by 14.4 cm ( stamped the background using Evening Evergreen and sponged the edges using Evening Evergreen )
  • Die-cut pieces using the Cardstocks Soft Succulents, Soft Sea Foam, and Metallic brushed foil sheets.
  • Then Adhere all the pieces to the layer 2 Evening Evergreen Cardstock.
  • Die-cut the label dies, stamp the sentiment in Evening Evergreen and adhere it to the cherry cobbler ribbon using Stampin Dimensionals.
  • I stamped the cherries in Real Red cardstock and added some red gems to it.
  • Splatter White Stampin’Ink on the background and add some metallic pearls and glided golden gems on top of the card.
  • Decorated the card using the extra scrap piece, which I cut from the front of the card.

Welcome to another Be Inspired Blog Hop! 🤎 This mo Welcome to another Be Inspired Blog Hop! 🤎
This month, our theme is Die-Cutting, and I decided to highlight trees in my card design.

For my card base, I used Basic Gray, and I sponged the first layer with Blueberry Bushel to create depth and a lovely background for the colourful trees.
 I watercoloured the cardstock before die cutting. I love how this adds a unique touch and brings variation to each tree in colours.
Make sure you check out all the other Design Team projects below-you’ll get so many lovely ideas!

Hello lovely crafty friends, It’s time for anothe Hello lovely crafty friends,

It’s time for another Hop Abroad Insta Hop! 
This month our theme is Fall / Thank You Cards, and for my card I wanted to play with warm colours, lots of layers and a little bit of texture.
I really enjoy making cards like this, where you can keep looking and notice all the little details. I added the embossed background, foliage, ribbon and a few embellishments to give the card some dimension.
