Monday Mystery Stamping – 11/28

Here are the cards we made Monday night during our Mystery Stamping Zoom. We started with a half sheet of card stock, 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″”, scored at 4-1/4″. Then added a layer of coordinating cardstock and a layer of DSP. The DSP we cut off the bottom right corner at 2″ up and 2″ over from the corner. Flipped it over and added a ribbon to cover the seam. Add a sentiment and die cuts or stamped embellishments and your easy card is done!!!

If you would like to join us, please contact me and provide an email address. I will send out the Mystery Stamping Clues ahead of time with the Zoom invitation. We meet at 7:30 Central Time for about 40 minutes.

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.

Monday Mystery Stamping – 11/14

Here are the cards we made Monday night during our Mystery Stamping Zoom. We started with a half sheet of card stock, 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″. On the front panel, at the bottom, make a mark 1-1/4″ in from the fold. Score from that mark at the bottom edge to the top right corner of the card front. Fold it back toward the card fold. Add the 4″ square of cardstock and the 3-3/4″ square for your stamping to the front. Add the 1″ strip of vertical DSP on the front. Open the card, add the colored cardstock 4 x 5-1/4″ and the white or vanilla 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece. NOTE: your design and greeting inside is vertical!! Add the other piece of horizontal DSP above the center fold and tie a piece of twine twice around the card over the DSP.
