Global Stamping Friends - So Many Thanks

Welcome to the NOVEMBER 2022 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects in our hop from Stampin' Up! demonstrators around the world--I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so prices are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is So Many Thanks! For my project I am once again featuring products from the NEW Fitting Florets Collection. {you'll find all Product Purchase Links below the Blog Roll near the bottom of the post}

This is simply a flowery, or "feminine" version of the card I made yesterday, which you can see HERE. The pattern on the paper is actually the reverse side of the pattern from yesterday! I swapped out the Balmy Blue Cardstock and brought in Blushing Bride Cardstock, then I swapped out the Night of Navy Ink Pad and instead used the Polished Pink Ink Pad. I also used 3 of the Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls on this card, but two of them are sitting in the center of flowers, and they are harder to see on the photo.

You can use the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper (DSP) very efficiently with these quick projects. For both yesterday's and today's cards, and the matching bit on the envelope flap for each card, I used only ONE strip of 4"x12" DSP. Each of the pieces on the card fronts are 4"x3", which left a 4"x6" piece of the strip. I then cut that into two pieces measuring 2"x6", and that gave me the envelope flap covering for each envelope. Super easy!

Stampin' Supplies: Framed Florets Stamp Set, Kraft Notecards & Envelopes, Blushing Bride Cardstock, Polished Pink Ink Pad, Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper, Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin' Dimensionals, Simply Shammy (to clean photopolymer stamps), Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Grid Paper. {see Product Purchase Links under the Blog Roll}

We Create Blog Hop - Thankful and Thinking of You

Welcome to the NOVEMBER 2022 "Thankful & Thinking of You" Blog Hop!!! We generally hop on the first day of every month, and this month the focus will be projects themed around thanks, gratitude, or thinking of you. I am featuring items from the newly available Fitting Florets Collection.
{scroll to the bottom of this post for ALL product purchase links}

For now, I've just done a simple project featuring the Framed Florets Stamp Set, the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper (DSP), and the lovely Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls. I used a pattern from the DSP that I felt was more "masculine" or gender-neutral, to show that you don't have use the flowers in the this collection to make a great card. Below you will see a picture that links to a video on YouTube, introducing the entire Fitting Florets Collection, and a few more projects made with it.

I hope to show you more about this collection in the next few days - there is a coordinating stamp set you can also use for the holiday season, and some great coordinating dies you can use anytime!

Stampin' Supplies: Framed Florets Stamp Set, Kraft Notecards & Envelopes, Balmy Blue Cardstock, Night of Navy Ink Pad, Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper, Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin' Dimensionals, Simply Shammy (to clean photopolymer stamps), Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Grid Paper. {see Product Purchase Links under the Blog Roll}

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Halloween & Autumn Colors

Welcome to the OCTOBER 2022 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects in our hop from Stampin' Up! demonstrators around the world--I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so prices are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is Halloween & Autumn Colors! For my project I am featuring the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set, and the Rustic Harvest 12"x12" Designer Series Paper. {you'll find all Product Purchase Links below the Blog Roll near the bottom of the post}

I made a Mini Kit Kat Treat Holder...it is open ended, so the candy can slide right out. This is a super simple project, and the key is finding a candy with a wrapper that coordinates well with the color of your holder. The treat holder in the center of the picture above is the first one I made, in neutral Crumb Cake Cardstock, and the Soft Suede Ink Pad. I wanted to also show you how it can look with patterned paper, so I used the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper for the ones at the top and bottom of the above pic. The one at the top shows a pattern of the DSP that I colored using Blending Brushes and the following inks: Cajun Craze, Mango Melody, and Cherry Cobbler. The one at the bottom is a light pattern that I stamped on, again using the Soft Suede Ink Pad. The greetings were stamped in the following inks, from top to bottom: Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, and Cajun Craze. Hopefully that will help give you an idea of what colors you might like to use!

To make this holder, you'll start with a 3"x4" piece of cardstock or patterned paper. Then you will score parallel with the 3" side at the following measurements: 1/2", 1", 2-1/4" and 2-3/4". You'll put adhesive on the 1/2" strip and adhere the wrapper closed. I like to use Stampin' Seal, because I hate getting sticky fingers, and a tip for making sure these stayed well adhered is to put Stampin' Seal on each of the two surfaces that are getting adhered together. And, since this is an open-ended treat holder, I applied a Mini Glue Dot on the back of the candy before I slid it into the wrapper - that holds it in place, but is light enough that you can tug the candy out easily.

I chose the Gold & Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon for all the treat holders, because it coordinates well with all the colors, and the Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins do also. Unfortunately, the Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins are not available right now...I believe they will come back in stock at the end of October. You can easily use the Elegant Faceted Gems instead, and they look great! You can get away with just one gem or sequin, or you could use 3 on each holder, like I did on the top one in the first pic. These make great place setting favors, class or co-worker treats, or even a fun "thank you" for a bank teller, cashier, or delivery person.

Stampin' Supplies: Soft Seedlings Stamp Set, Rustic Harvest 12x12 Designer Series Paper, Crumb Cake Cardstock & Ink Pad, Cajun Craze Ink Pad, Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad, Mango Melody Ink Pad, Blending Brushes, Gold & Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon, Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins (or Elegant Faceted Gems), Stampin' Seal Adhesive, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Scrub & Stampin' Mist (to clean red rubber stamps), Bone Folder, Paper Snips, Grid Paper, Paper Trimmer. {see Product Purchase Links under the Blog Roll}
