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.

Stampin Stray Ducklings – Merry Christmas!

Welcome to our December Blog Waddle! We are featuring holiday cards this month!! You may have arrived here from Lori Helvick’s blog.  Following me is Nancy Legate’s blog.

I picked the Christmas Pinecone Dies (#156309) for my card. The card base is Bermuda Bay with the gorgeous pines die cut in Basic White. The solid pinecones were die cut from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack (#156457) and placed under the pinecone cutouts. A scalloped circle was die cut from the Silver Foil using the Layering Circles Dies (#151770). The sentiment is from Framed & Festive (#160888) stamped in Bermuda Bay on Basic White and die cut with a circle die from the Layering Circles Dies. I finished my card with Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#156408) under the sentiment and Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#144220).

Then cut off the top half of the front of the card. Add the strip on the bottom, open up the card and place 3 pieces of coordinating DSP at the top of the white or vanilla insert. Add a sentiment and die cuts or stamped embellishments and your easy card is done!!!
