Holiday themed projects for the Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “Home for the Holidays”. We really hope that you enjoy and are inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

How exciting to be able to share some "Home for the Holidays" projects with you! Here are a few festive creations highlighting the Frosted Gingerbread Bundle with the Ever Eden 12" x 12" Specialty DSP.
With new supplies on my table, I just had to create another project using the Ever Eden Specialty paper and thought it would be fun to try it out with the Frosted Gingerbread Bundle for a fun twist.

I liked my card so much that I ended up making two.  For the first one, I decided to make Gold Foil ornaments to focus on a piece of the Ever Eden 12" x 12" Specialty DSP  I have not yet used.  
I kept my creation pretty simple to let the ornaments with the gorgeous specialty DSP do all the talking. Sadly, my photos do not capture how the gold ornaments just pop off the page.

As usual, I ended up changing my second card just a bit.
This time I embossed the border image from the Frosted Gingerbread Bundle with gold embossing powder and added an Evening Evergreen die cut "cookie top" on top of the gold foil bottom piece.  I also made the length of the DSP a little longer so that I could fit my sentiment right below as opposed to on top of the ornament.

Of course I had to add some Garden Gems to finish them off. :)

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on December 8th. Our theme will be “My Favorite Things” with our design team showcasing some of their favorite products from any catalog they choose.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...
