Paper Crafting Blog Hop – Winter Holidays

Welcome to our December Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator has created projects with the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and July-December Mini-catalog products. You may have arrived here from Shirley’s blog. Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

My card features the Leaves of Holly Bundle (#159608)! Isn’t it beautiful? The card base is Gray Granite with a layer of Evening Evergreen and another layer of Boughs of Holly DSP. The holly leaves were stamped in Evening Evergreen on Basic White and then the second layer of stamping in Gray Granite. The holly leaf dies from the Holly Berry Dies (#159607). The berries were two-step stamped in Real Red and Cherry Cobbler, then die cut. The sentiment from the Leaves of Holly stamp set (#159601) was stamped in Evening Evergreen and die cut. A piece of White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon(#151326) was woven behind the sentiment to finish my card.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop – Giving Thanks

Welcome to our November Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator is creating Thank You cards. You may have arrived here from Shirley’s blog. Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

My card features the Forever Fern cling stamp set (#152559)! The card base is Basic White with a layer of Blackberry Bliss and another layer of Basic White. On the top Basic White layer, I stamped branches in Blackberry Bliss, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, and Sahara Sand. Sahara Sand splatters completed my stamping. Then I die cut some pieces from the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714) in Gold Foil (#132622). I die cut a circle in Blackberry Bliss using the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) and heat embossed the sentiment from Flowers of Friendship cling stamp set (#155358) in white from the Basic Embossing Powders (#155554). A piece of Sahara Sand Twill ribbon from the Combo Pack (#158955) tucked behind the sentiment completed my card.
