Stamping Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle-My Favorite Mini-Catalog Products

November 10, 2024November 10, 20244 Comments

Welcome to our November Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle from blog post to blog post, instead of hop!! We are featuring Christmas cards this month!

Here is a sneak peek of my card. Look very closely, you will see the Wink of Stella I added to the trees!

I love the Painted Tress 3D Embossing Folder from the Sept-Dec Mini-Catalog! I knew I wanted to use Basic Beige and either Mossy Meadow or Old Olive. Here are some samples I made before I made my final choice.

The card base is Mossy Meadow, 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Next is a layer of Basic Beige embossed with the folder. Then I used a sponge dauber to add Basic Beige to each of the trees. I used the Basic Beige on all 3 samples. It has a greenish cast on the Basic Beige, perfect for an evergreen tree!

I added some Basic Beige 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (#163788) a tag stamped in Mossy Meadow and Basic Beige on Basic Beige using the Greetings of the Season stamp set from the Greetings of the Season Bundle (#164113), also from the Mini. A little Wink of Stella (#141897) added some sparkle to the trees, and 3 Clear Ribboned Adhesives-Backed Dots (#164204). I hope this inspires you when you make your Holiday cards this year!

Monday Mystery Stamping – 11/4/24

Vertical/Portrait card:
Clue #1… gather your supplies, All measurements in inches.
If you cut 2 pieces of 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock at the same time with these measurements, you will have the pieces to complete 2 cards. I have listed the pieces for only 1 card.
Cardstock Base:
1 @ 11 x 8-1/2, cut according to the below diagram resulting in:
Base 5-1/2 x 6-1/2, scored at 4-1/4 on the 6-1/2 side
Inside Layer 5-1/4 x 4
Layer for on white cardstock 4-3/4 x 3-1/2
Flap Layer (I embossed this piece) 2 x 5-1/4 on the front of the card

If cutting 2 pieces of cardstock together, you will have 4 pieces each for 2 cards.

Basic White or Very Vanilla:
1 @ 7-1/2 x 5, score at 3-3/4 on the long side
DSP:
1 @ 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 for the top of the white card base and layer
1@ 2 x 5-1/4 for the inside of the base card flap
Ribbons:
1 @ 20″ This goes under the DSP and colored layer onto of the white folded card. The ribbon wraps around behind the card base. You can make this card open either direction, just make that choice before adhering DSP inside the flap.
