Welcome to what is the last hop for Stampin Friends in 2021. But don’t worry we will be back with new projects in January 2022. For November hop we are Celebrating the Season wherever we are. I hope you can from Maureen Rauchfuss’s blog! Her projects are amazing. If not be sure to visit, And make sure you visit after mine.

​ My projects use the suite from Stampin Up called Gingerbread and Peppermint. You can find this Suite in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

I decided to make a slimline card, 
I used Crumb Cake for the card base 8x9 1/4
score on the 8” side at 4.
For the layers I used Old Olive 3 3/4x9
then I layered 2 pieces of DSP 3 3/4x 4 1/2. Adhere one to the top half of the old olive and one for the bottom half.
You will have a piece of CS left from the crumb cake and old olive. Cut the old olive to 2x3 3/4 and layer the piece of crumb cake 1 3/4x3 3/8.
I used the coordinating sides from the suite to cut the shapes from the DSP. I stamped the greeting in real red, Add the ruffled ribbon in a bow and added some rhinestones to finish it off. I also cut a few more shapes to line the inside of the card.
See photo below.

Next, I have this cute gift pouch! It’s super easy to make. You can refer to the Pocket Envelope post I made for assembly. I made this one the same, jut bigger and I didn't add a top flap to close. I also made a YouTube Video of the pocket envelope.
You will need a piece of card stock that measures 7 1/2x11, on the 11” side score at 5 and 10. Turn to 7 1/2 side and score at 1.
​I used the hand penned dies at cut a border on  the side we trimmed down 1”.
this is your front, Add adhesive to the 1 inch section and fold over this piece in line of the edges. Then add adhesive to the bottom flap and fold it up onto the top piece.
I decorated the front with more pieces cut from the DSP. I also used wooden skewers and trimmed them to different heights and glued the tree, snowflake and ornament.  I filled the ouches with gloves lotion and lip balm.

I plan to add a gift card as well. I will add to a large cellophane bag and tie with a bow before giving as a gift to my son’s bus driver.

Do you or a friend have a customer (or two, or three) who regularly restocks their craft collection, and always wants the latest and greatest Stampin’ Up! supplies?

PAINTED CHRISTMAS POCKET ENVELOPE

11/9/2021

0 Comments

Today I am sharing a pocket envelope I made using the Painted Christmas Suite. It was so easy to make with minimal supplies, cutting & gluing!
The Painted Christmas Suite is one of my favorite suites in the Stampin Up Holiday mini catalog.
The suite is one of the larger ones featured, includes 2 stamp bundles (stamp sets and dies) ribbon, designer series paper and gold holly leaves.
If you remember back a little while back, Stampin Up offered Painted Seasons and Painted Autumn; Painted Christmas is very similar in look.
It's just so pretty and the designer series paper is very subtle to me but really makes an impact.

Please refer to the video below for further detail on how to put the envelope together.

You need a piece of DSP or Cardstock that measure 9 1/2x 7 1/4
On the 9 1/2 side score at 4 1/2 and 9
On the 7 1/4 side score at 1/2 and 6 1/4
Fold and burnish all score lines.
Picture
Below you can see i shaded in the areas that will need to be removed.
Picture
Now for the trimming.  With the 1/2 score line to the right, you will need to remove the bottom section and top section from the 4 1/2 score line over to the end...refer to the photo below.
Picture

Flip over and add adhesive to the 1/2 section, fold in half and adhere that  flap 1/2 section
Fold up the bottom section and adhere it down.
Picture
On the top flap, this is the 1" section, I used the little slit that is available in the Seasonal Labels dies. It creates a little opening on the DSP, perfect to feed the ribbon through. Load the pocket with a card or treat first. Wrap your ribbon around and thread up from the bottom into the slit. Tie into a bow.
For the greeting, I used Real Red and Basic White cardstock, chose 2 label dies in different size from the Seasonal Labels die set and cut them out. I stamped the greeting from A Christmas to Remember stamp set.
Using the same die set, I cut out different leaves and berries. I used a combo of Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Real Red. Layered them around the greeting.

CHRISTMAS PINE CONE CARD

11/9/2021

Have you ever looked at a card or die set and thought to yourself, wow that must be really difficult to make?
That's how I felt when I first saw a card in the Stampin Up Holiday Mini Catalog. It wasn't so much that it was difficult, but I thought alot of time or effort is going into it....Well, I am happy to report that was not the case when I sat down to make this card. My inspiration was from page 16 in the catalog. I used products from the Painted Christmas Suite.
In my Painted Christmas Pocket Envelope, I shows this card being placed in the pocket. So now I am sharing with you how I made it!



First choose your cardbase. I used Basic White 5 1/2x8 1/2 - score at 4 1/4 on the  8 1/2' side
Layer DSP  4x5 1/4 on front
Layer DSP 1x5 1/4 on the inside
Cut out the Real Red label from the Seasonal Labels Die
Cut out a 2" Basic White Circle.
Stamp the greeting from the A Christmas to Remember set on the Basic White circle
To make the pine/pine cones
Use the Christmas Pinecones dies.
You will need 2 pieces of cardstock that measure 4x5 1/4 each- a lighter and darker shade
I used Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen
Take the larger pine die and cut out with the Evening Evergreen
Take the smaller pine die and cut out with the Soft Succulent
adhere the Soft Succulent onto the Evening Evergreen piece
Use a lighter shade for the bottom of the pinecones, I used Crumb Cake. I cut out 3 large and 5 small
For the top layer, I used Early Espresso and cut out 3 large and 5 small.
Adhere the Early Espresso pieces onto the Crumb Cake.

Next add the pinecones onto the Evening Evergreen/Soft Succulent layers. You will see the large and small images of where the pinecones fit. So easy
Add the pine layer to the card front and add the greeting on top using the dimensionals.

Its such an easy card to make, the layers all come together quickly!
I created a video to show you how to put it all together!

Thanks so much for stopping by
