'Tis the Season

-

This week's Friday Night Live wasn't originally intended to be Christmas-themed, but when my new Christmas Season stamp set arrived, I just couldn't help myself! 


I had seen Angela Meyer's card about six weeks earlier and decided I had to recreate it. And I vowed to myself that I was going to start decorating my envelopes more (as well as card insides) during my Friday Night Lives. I added a tag for this one just to complete the coordination for Christmas gift-giving.

Measurements

  • Thick Very Vanilla card base (8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored in half at the 4-1/4" mark and folded)
  • Thick Very Vanilla piece for tag (2" x 4-1/4")
  • Elegant Trim (two pieces about 8" each. one for the card and one for the tag)
  • Cherry Cobbler and Gold Ribbon (about 4")

Directions
  1. Stamp pine bows (both the double stamp and the single) in Evening Evergreen ink onto the left edge of the Very Vanilla.
  2. Add the long leafy sprig image in Soft Sea Foam onto the left edge of the Very Vanilla.
  3. Add the twig for the berries in Early Espresso as desired.
  4. Add the berries in Cherry Cobbler. You can add some that aren't attached to a branch to fill as needed.
  5. Stamp as in Steps 1-4 onto the bottom of the tag and the flap of the envelope as desired. You'll want to mask the front of the envelope prior to stamping.
  6. Stamp "Merry Christmas" in Cherry Cobbler on the front of the card.
  7. Add Wonderful Gems as desired (in odd numbers).
  8. Add a bow made with a piece of Elegant Trim to the left of the sentiment using a Glue Dot or other preferred adhesive.
  9. Stamp desired sentiment from Christmas to Remember stamp set in Cherry Cobbler on the inside of the card.
  10. Stamp images on the inside of the card as desired (I used the Soft Sea Foam leafy image and the Berries in Cherry Cobbler).
  11. Stamp the "Merry" from the Merry Christmas stamp onto the tag, clean stamp thoroughly, then stamp the "Christmas" below it, using Cherry Cobbler ink.
  12. Use a tag punch at the top of the tag piece and add Elegant Trim and Cherry Cobbler & Gold ribbon.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
