2024 Fall-Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

 

Hi Everyone - welcome to our 2024 Fall-Winter Coffee Lovers - Blog Hop!  I'm excited to be one of the sponsors for the Fall-Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. The hop kicks off today and runs through the 8th. All you have to do to be in the running for one of the great prizes is create a coffee, tea, hot cider or hot cocoa themed project and link it up on the official post over on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog.  

So, I'm excited to share another fun creation with you - using Stampin' Up!'s super fun "More than Autumn" stamp/die bundle.  You can see a video of how I put this together HERE.

Item #164076 More than Autumn bundle $47.50

After die-cutting a portion of my Basic White layer, I stamped and colored all of these adorable Gingerbread men, Hearts, and Candy Canes!  One of my other loves is definitely coloring!

I popped up this layer on dimensionals and layered it onto  Real Red - which is layered onto Crumb Cake that is debossed with Stampin' Up's Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.  A bow of Red/Gold dotted ribbon and some gold sequins were the finishing touch for this "yummy" card.

 

I had to give the inside of the card as much love as the outside.

And I certainly don't believe in "naked" envelopes - 

Have fun checking out all the other wonderful posts in this hop!  You can find all of the "links" to the blogs in the hop HERE.  And be aware that the list will grow every day through the 8th - so keep checking back for more ideas!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities - Nests of Christmas October 2024

 

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop!  I am so excited to be a part of this team of hoppers sharing alternative designs for each month's Paper Pumpkin kit.  This month's kit is all about the beauty of birds!!  Hopefully what we show will inspire you.  Be sure to hop all the way through to see what this amazing team has come up with!

 Here is the unboxing video - so you can see all that is included and how the kit can come together.

VIDEO

~*~*~*~*~

~*~*~*~*~

Talk about a wonderful kit - this is it!  Everything about these cards shouts beauty and elegance.  The tri-fold design and foiling make them extra special for the holidays.

I didn't really want to change the cards, so instead decided to focus on alternatives using the discarded punched out layers from the kit cards, as well as the coordinating catalog products and the add-on dies!  Here's what I came  up with - 

Card 1 - 

For this card I used a base of Night of Navy and stamped the tree bough from the set in opposite corners tone on tone.  Then I layered the insert part of the card from the kit at an angle.  Next I die cut one of the tags using the add on dies from Peach Pie CS and added the Merry cut from the dies in Cherry Cobbler onto it.

The birds are die cut from the Nests of Winter DSP and I was able to use a partial edge piece because it fit on the tag perfectly - tied a Shaded Spruce ribbon with linen thread to it - and popped this entire layer up on dimensionals.  The Christmas as stamped with the PP stamp set and also popped up on the front.  Added a few Iridescent Foil Gems to finish it off. Here's the inside, because of the dark colored base I added a layer of Basic White -

Card 2 -

My second card starts with a Pool Party base and the same tree bough in the corners and the Merry Christmas with Shaded Spruce ink.  The insert that was punched out from the other card in the kit became my layer.  I used the cardinal image from the PP stampset; and the bough image from the Winterly Tree Top stamp set - both stamped in Memento ink and colored with assorted Stampin' Blends.  This entire layer was also popped up on dimensionals.

I love the foiling on the edge of the piece that gets punched out - it really adds to this card.  With a linen thread double bow and some Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels - it was done.  Here is how I finished the inside of this one -

If you want to see how the original cards in this kit looked and how mine came together with a few minor changes, you can check out my video here - VIDEO

I hope you've enjoyed these alternative ideas.  Now be sure to hop through the rest to get some more great inspiration.  Don't forget to leave a comment, as we'd love to hear what you think.
