Santa's Merry Little Label

A little while ago, I had great fun with the embossing paste which resulted in a few backgrounds sitting waiting on my table to be used!

This is the last from that batch of backgrounds! I had used Smoky Slate cardstock and coloured the embossing paste with Tranquil Tide ink before using it with one of the Pattern Party masks.

The metallic Washi Tape and snowflake provide a little seasonal bling

To add a bit of seasonal bling and to give Santa something to stand on, I added a couple of strips of the Year of Cheer Washi Tape to the background piece and adhered one of the Foil Snowflakes (well, to be honest, it's 3/4 of a snowflake - waste not, want not!). There's also a thin edge of Silver Foil Sheet behind the main panel. Following my "waste not, want not" approach, I cut out the centre of this piece of foil to save for use elsewhere.

The stacked gifts are from the Ready For Christmas stamp set, and I adhered them with Mini Dimensionals.

The greeting is from the Merry Little labels stamp set, stamped in Tranquil Tide onto Whisper White cardstock and cut out with one of the Lots of Labels framelits.

I'm not sure how good a grip Santa has!

I stamped the Santa image from the Cookie Cutter Christmas set and coloured his head and extremities. Instead of using the matching Cookie Cutter Builder punch, I fussy cut his head, arms and legs and adhered them to the label so that it looked like he was holding up a placard.

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!

Reindeer & Ribbons

One of the things that I love about the This Christmas Specialty DSP pack is that it contains sooo much paper - 4 sheets each of 6 gorgeous double-sided designs!! Time to start working my way through it!!

The new Stitched Shapes Framelits add a touch of classic elegance

Keeping the paper the star of the show, I used the reindeer from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set to add a focal area. I stamped the reindeer onto Very Vanilla cardstock in Soft Suede and watercoloured with out with Tip Top Taupe and Early Espresso. I used a Stampin Write Marker to strengthen the colour of his nose and eyes.

I cut out the reindeer using one of the new Stitched Shapes Framelits which I layered with a contrasting colour cut with one of the Layering Ovals Framelits.

This reindeer turned out to be a Rudolph look-alike!

The Stitched Shapes Framelits will be included in next year's Annual Catalogue but have been released early and are available for purchase now - really great value at $50 for 12 dies (4 each in oval, square and circle). Click here to learn more about them and the special offer of 25% off selected stamp sets that match perfectly.

The inside of the card is decorated with the Oh What Fun stamp set

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop - 9 October - Guest Julie Davison

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with our Special Guest stamper, Julie Davison - we are thrilled to have Julie join us this month and so excited to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by her . We hope you find great inspiration from the projects.

Whether you are starting the blog hop here at my blog, Stephanie Fischer - The Crafty Thinker, or have come from the person before me, be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

Stampin' Up! Fresh Fruit Card for Stamp of the Month Club (August 2016) with Julie Davison www.juliedavison.com/clubs

This is Julie's beautiful card that inspired me.

One of the many things that I love about Stampin' Up products is the way they work together so effortlessly. It's so easy to make a special card by combining a stamp set with matching Designer Series Paper. And what really appeals to me about this card of Julie's is that it makes the most of matching combinations and can be dressed up to suit any occasion just by changing the paper, stamp or embellishments.

I got so caught up in the enjoyment of CASEing this card that I made three cards to suit three very different occasions.

I love the classic look of this pretty blue and white combination

No wastage! The spare piece of DSP decorates the inside of the card!

For this very classic looking thank you card, I used the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the heart-shaped floral stamp from the beautiful Bloomin' Love stamp set. The greeting is from Flourishing Phrases.

The base card is Night of Navy cardstock cut to 12" x 5" and folded in half to form a 6" x 5" card. For the inside of the card and the top layer of the decorative label, I used Whisper White cardstock to match with the DSP.

The silver ribbon is from the 1cm Glitter Ribbon Combo Pack.

The birthday card combines the very beautiful Petals & Paisleys DSP with the equally gorgeous Paisleys & Posies stamp set. The greeting is from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set.

To combine the four paisley elements, I used the masking technique. I stamped the large circle first and covered it with a mask I had pre-made. I then stamped the large curvy element and masked that before stamping the final two elements. I stamped them all in Basic Black Archival ink and coloured them with Stampin' Write Markers. My colour choices were determined by the colours in the DSP.

I just can't get enough of the this Paisley Suite!

The base card is made from Mint Macaron 12" square cardstock cut to 12" x 5" and folded in half to make a card 6" x 5". For the inside of the card and for the decorative label, I used Very Vanilla cardstock to match with the DSP. The ribbon is Delightful Dijon from the 1cm Ribbon Trio Pack.

The shapes and colours in this paisley DSP are so beautiful!

For the Christmas card I used the Candy Cane Lane DSP and layered it onto a base card (the same size as the others) of Crumb Cake cardstock. The ribbon I used is the Real Red 3/4" Stitched Edge Ribbon.

And now for something seasonal!

I stamped the gingerbread man from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and punched him out with the matching Cookie Cutter Builder Punch (buy the bundle and save 10%!). The greeting is also from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set.

I added a layer of Real Red cardstock for a bit of Christmas oompth and used one the dies from the Christmas Stockings Thinlits set to cut a little bow from Red Glimmer Paper.

The Candy Cane Lane DSP includes so many iconic Christmas images!

Another great way to dress up this card layout would be to exchange the label shape for a differently shaped layer: maybe a circle, square or Christmas bauble.

I hope you've enjoyed this card and I welcome your comments.
