Nov 14, 2018 | 3-D Projects, Christmas |
Welcome to the November, 2018 Blog Hop with Stampin’ Pretty Pals. Holiday cards are done. It’s time to start on gifts and gift wrap. Let the Stampin’ Pretty Pals inspire you with “Anything But A Card” today.
You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Well we definitely have to make a list of the gifts, and then we need pretty packaging! Both of these projects use the Dashing Along Designer Series Paper. The stripes are so festive. They remind me of candy canes.
The list is easy to create with an 8-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ piece of the Dashing Along paper. On top of that is an 8″ x 4″ piece of Cherry Cobbler card stock. This gives it support and a nice contrast. This is the base for the list. At the top of the Cherry Cobbler piece is a large Sparkle Glimmer Paper snowflake. I love this giant snowflake! It was cut using a die from the Snowfall Thinlits Dies.
A 1″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White card stock was stamped with the Making Christmas Bright stamp set and the little bulbs were colored in with a Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend and Garden Green ink using a Blender Pen. The lined paper I used was taken from a pad of paper I just had around the house 🙂 I cut it down to fit.
This adorable gift box is one of our Baker’s Boxes. I love these boxes because they are fairly large and fit a nice bag of homemade cookies. I decorated mine using the same Dashing Along Designer Series Paper. I measured each side panel and top panel and just cut a piece of the paper a little shorter. The Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer was invaluable!
The box was wrapped with Real Red 3/8″ Mixed Satin Ribbon. As a topper I cut four (4) of the large snowflakes, folded each in half, and attached them together at the base with Glue Dots. Then I attached them to the top of the box with Glue Dots.
You can purchase all the products I used from my Product List below.

Nov 13, 2018 | Christmas |
This Christmas card was created with three different stamp sets, but the base is the wonderful Buffalo Check stamp. I just can’t stop using it!!
Here it was stamped on Whisper White card stock with Cherry Cobbler ink. Cherry Cobbler is a classic deep red that I LOVE for my holiday cards! For this card the color palette is black – white – and Cherry Cobbler. Aren’t they striking together?
The tree stamp is from the Merry Christmas to All stamp set and is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and trimmed to size. The tree is topped with a snowflake cut from Cherry Cobbler card stock using the Snowfall Thinlits. In the center of the snowflake is a Clear Faceted Gem which has been colored with a Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Marker. Did you know the Stampin’ Blends are great for coloring gems and rhinestones? They work great!
The sentiment is a stamp also from the Snow is Glistening set and I used Cherry Cobbler ink to coordinate with the rest of the card. That’s what I love about Stampin’ Up! ~ the card stock, ink, and even the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers all coordinate! You don’t have to guess (“Does this match that?”), it’s all done for you and your project looks beautiful!
DON’T FORGET: THIS FABULOUS SUITE IS ONLY AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER 30TH!!
Here are the items only available until November 30 – or while supplies last! Click on any item to learn more and to order! Today’s card uses the Snow is Glistening stamp set and the Snowfall Thinlits Dies..

Nov 7, 2018 | Christmas, Treat Holders |
Did you know that we have a NEW designer series paper available? It’s true! Stampin’ Up! has released a previously exclusive designer series paper to all of us – and it’s beautiful! I love it ~ particularly a pink/red Victorian-looking paper that’s part of the pack.
Aren’t these pretty papers? There’s even a green newsprint 🙂 The paper I used has our beautiful Cherry Cobbler as the basic color.
And there’s a little surprise inside this treat holder: a tiny Snicker’s bite! The treat holder itself was made using a 2″ x 7″ strip of the designer series paper, with the top and bottom edges punched with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.
The little Snicker’s bite was glued down to the center of the strip and then the punched edges were pulled up together and tied in a bow with a piece of Very Vanilla Lace Trim.
The bronze Snowflakes & Stars Wire Elements from the Holiday Catalog are so pretty. I tied one on the front of each of the treat holders.
I’m going to make quite a few of these cuties to give out all through the holidays. Hopefully this gives you a little help for making your own treat holders! Be sure to get some of this pretty Dashing Along Designer Series Paper ~ you’ll love it!

Welcome November! Parts of our country are having snow falling, but here in Southern California we are warm and sunny 🙂 But I will tell you that many of us wish we had snow falling. It would sure put me in the Christmas mood! And as card makers we need to be thinking about our holiday cards! Stampin’ Up! knows that and has just released an entire new suite for us called the Snowflake Showcase Suite.
This Suite is only available for one month, through November 30th, so don’t miss out on this wonderful Suite! Here are the components:
There is so much to love about this suite – it has 2 stamp sets – what? Yes, it’s true, 2 stamp sets! Today I’m featuring the Snow is Glistening stamp set. I got this one because I want to use it for my own Christmas cards! I started playing with the set and decided to use a Blushing Bride/Bronze/Soft Sea Foam color scheme.
The Christmas tree in this set is SO pretty! Here it’s been heat embossed in white on some Blushing Bride card stock. I really love the way the white looks on the Blushing Bride 🙂 The tree is placed on a panel of Soft Sea Foam card stock embossed with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder – looks like snow, right??
The star on the top of the tree was cut with one of the amazing Snowfall Thinllits Dies (there are 20 dies in this set!!). The paper I used is a copper-colored sheet of the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper. And for the center of the star, I colored a Frosted Epoxy Droplet with some Bright Copper Shimmer Paint. Then I stamped a fun little snowflake stamp in the set all around the star on the tree using the same Shimmer Paint. I love the way it turned out!

Today’s card holds a pretty Christmas banner created with the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper. I seriously LOVE this paper! If you haven’t used it, you really must. The colors are yummy and it’s so crisp and clean!
The beautiful sentiment from the Merry Christmas to All stamp set has been stamped on the banner in Cherry Cobbler ink. Isn’t it a gorgeous sentiment?
The banner actually has a “v” shape at the end and that’s where the flowers are affixed. The flowers were punched from various punches and then shaped with a bone folder and the metal-tippped stylus that comes with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool.
The leaves were punched from Mossy Meadow card stock using the Leaf Punch. Some pretty 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon was tied in a bow and placed on the left side.
Thank you for stopping by today!
