DASHER

That Stampin' Up! Dasher (item 116816) is soooo cute.  I decided to make a different type of card featuring him.  Here he is:

He is standing in the snow by a partially frozen pond (see his shadow).  His background is a snow scene created with the Stampin' Up! Brayer (item 102395) and  Bashful Blue (105209), Marina Mist (119668), and Baja Breeze (111833) Classic Ink.  The trees in the background are from the Plant Hope stamp set (120540), and the snowflake is made with the Stampin' Up! Extra-Large Snowflake Punch (119852).  The cardstock used is Marian Mist (119682) and paper is from the Christmas Cheer Simply Scrappin" (117401).  Several rhinestones (119246) and a Subtles Marine Mist brad (119732) were used for embellishments.  Hope you enjoy.

God Bless!

Deck the Halls

Stampin' Up! made a superb business decision when it offered the Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper (DSP) (item 120810).  I am so in love with the quality and beauty of this paper, and so many other products featured in the Holiday Mini.  I have so enjoyed making cards with this DSP.

The following card features the Deck the Halls DSP on Always Artichoke (item 105119) and Cherry Cobbler (item 119685) cardstock (love, love Cherry Cobbler).  The mat behind the sentiment from the Peaceful Season Hostess stamp set (item 121124) and the corners were dry embossed with the Stampin' Up! Petals-A-Plenty textured embossing folder (item 116824).  The "cannot live without" Big Shot Die Cutting Machine (item 113439) was used in the embossing process.  For embellishments, I used the Silver (item 120994)  and Clear (item 120993) Tinsel, and the Stampin' Up! rhinestones (item 119246).  What a beautiful card with so little product. 

The card below, featuring another design in the Deck the Halls DSP, is beautiful also.  I am enjoying working with the Stampin' Up! Waffle Paper (item 120985), which is the "mat" behind the bells stamp from the gorgeous Bells and Boughs stamp set (item 121142).  The sentiment is also from the same stamp set.  This card is embellished with the bling-bling of the Real Red Glimmer Brads (item 121006).   The Always Artichoke and Cherry Cobbler cardstock was used, as well as the Stampin' Up! Champagne Glitter Glass (item 120997).

The following beauty features yet another design of the Deck the Halls DSP.  I embossed the paper using the Embossing Buddy (item 103083), VersaMark (item 102283) and Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder (item 109130).  The Tags til Christmas stamp set (item 121169) was used for the ornament, which is embossed with the Iridecent Ice Emboss Powder (item 101930).  The Basic Gray cardstock (item 121044) was cut with the Big Shot and Top Note Bigz Die (item 113463), modified, and embossed with the Petals-A-Plenty embossing folder.  The embellishments are 5/16" Silver Brads (item 112534), Silver Tinsel, Silver Glass Glitter (item 120995), and 5/8" Basic Gray Satin Ribbon (item 117666) that is painted partially with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint (116806).   

I think pairing the Basic Gray and Cherry Cobbler is quite striking.  Hope you enjoy!

God's Blessings!

Greenhouse Gala DSP and Tote Bag

Last month, Leigh O'Brien, Splitcoaststampers.com, posted a tutorial for a "Totally Totebag".  I had to try it, as I've not made a 3-D object yet.  So here is my modified version of her tote bag and some miniature cards that I made and placed inside the tote.  All items used were those of Stampin' Up!

The tote measures 2 3/4" x 3 3/4", so it's an itty, bitty tote bag.  I used the Jewelry Tag punch to make the "Guneaux Designs" tag that is attached as a "designer label".  (I think it's cute!)  I also used the Two-Step Bird punch to enhance my 8-layer flower.  (My friend, Lin, taught me this technique.) The flower is spritzed liberally with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz.  The Certainly Celery button from the Sutbles Collection adds to the beautiful flower on the Stampin' Up! Greenhouse Gala DSP.

Using the Petal Card punch, I added two pockets to the back of the bag.  (I must say, I'm falling in love with the Petal Card punch.)  On the sides of the tote is the Pear Pizzazz Stitched Poly ribbon. The same ribbon was used for the tote's handles.  (That ribbon is so easy to manipulate...it's great!) 
 

















I made 6 miniature cards to place inside my tote bag. 

The miniature cards measure 2 1/4" x 3 1/4". Here are pictures of them.

I intentionally scorched the embossed flowers as I like the look. What do you think?

The flowers on this mini card were scorched intentionally also.  I think the process gives the flowers a Fall look.  Once again, I used the Petal Card punch to create a pocket to hold the flowers. 

This project was fun, although time-consuming.  However, I love anything that is Stampin' Up! so it's well worth the time and effort.  Wouldn't you agree?

Any comments are appreciated!
