Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Sale-a-bration 2021 - Part 2

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia are participating. We have a wide array of fun projects and design styles to share with you this month - all spotlighting Products from the Sale-a-bration Catalog! Remember that Sale-a-bration ends the end of the month!

~*~*~*~*~

So I chose to use the "Oh So Ombre" DSP for my project - this is a $50 level freebie! 48 - 6x6" sheets of wonderful!

I had recently seen another demonstrator, and then another, and then another use this paper to make the most beautiful Sunburst Cards - so I decided to try my hand at it and came up with this -

By having the light ends of the ombre paper and the dark ends alternate - it gives this technique an amazing look - like a real sunburst of light! I combined it with the Butterly Gala stamp set and Butterfly Duet punch - and I really love how it turned out. You can see full details on how I did this card on my video - HERE!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Gift Packaging - December

~*~*~*~*~

I told you last month how much I love Fall - the weather has now turned really cool - and Winter is in the air. Fireplace is lit at night - tree is up and stockings are hung. Christmas is almost here. So I chose to stick with a Christmas theme for my packaging. This is a little gift money holder decorated to look like a gift.

I have eight grand kids and each Christmas we try and keep the gifts at about the same value - but it is nearly impossible. When Christmas rolls around there are always one or two a little short - so they get cash to make up the difference. This year I am making little money holders to present it in. The Real Red Cardstock is 8" x 9" scored along the 9" side at 3 1/4" and 6 1/2" to form a pocket that I cut at an angle and adhered with Tear and Tape.

Then added some DSP from the Trimming the Town papers to give it a festive touch before adding the cold hard cash lol!

I used the Gift Wrapped Stamp Set and the Gift Bow Builder punch to make a cute little belly band to hold the holder shut. And a Real Red Blend; and a Shaded Spruce Stampin' Write Marker to color it.

There are several fun bow designs to pick from and color - then just punch it out with the punch and pop it up on a dimensional on top of the belly band. What could be easier - and now all the kiddos will be happy!

Above the Clouds

Today I'm sharing one of the card designs I did for a recent New Catalog Swap I participated in (thanks Barbara W. for hosting). I loved this set as soon as I saw it - and knew I had to get it; especially thinking it would make a great graduation card with this sentiment. So for this card - the square of blue was made by stamping my "D" acrylic block directly onto my Seaside Spray (one of our new in-colors) pad - then spritzing it with a little water, and pressing it down on my card base. You can see each one turned out a little differently.

After that was done and dry - I stamped the little balloons right onto the card base overlapping that blue sky; and colored them with our markers. I stamped the large balloon and basket onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, colored and punched out with our new Hot Air Balloon punch. You can find this bundle on page 89 of our new 2019 Annual Catalog. Then I added the sentiment and popped up the large balloon on dimensionals - added a little bling in the air and I was done.

If you don't have our new catalog and would like one - just drop me an email at crazystampinglady@gmail.com. They are free for porch pick-up; or $7 for mailing, but you will get a $7 off coupon for your first purchase - so it will end up being free. This catalog is amazing and filled with lots of creative inspiration! I'd love to be your Stampin' Up! demonstrator and creative coach.

"Happy Scarecrow" card...

So I just can't tell you how much I love that Stampin' Up! made the Cookie Cutter Halloween set to use the same punch from the Cookie Cutter Bundle - who doesn't love a punch that you can use with so many different images. See the products at the bottom of this post to see just how many.

So at my cards class last week we made this "little cutie." The scarecrow is just adorable, and I love this topsy-turvy layout to go with him.

We colored him with the 2015-17 In Colors - then added the linen thread behind him and with a bow at the top. I love that, as to me it mimics the look of straw that would be in a scarecrow. Then added the sentiment and that cute little crow and we're done. Of course I super love the look of the Petals and Paisley's Designer Series Paper in the middle - that paper is perfect for this fall season.

Here's a close up of his smiling face - doesn't he just look so happy that cooler temps are here?!? I know I am. Enjoy your day - see you soon! ~Maureen

Oh where does the time go ???? and so much info to share :)

So up front I am going to share a cute and quick Christmas card. This was the make and take at my recent Holiday Catalog Open House - and everyone seemed to love it. Just a couple layers, a little twine, and of course this cute little reindeer - and you are set. We used notecard size cards and envelopes - which are a fav of mine; and the reindeer was so amazingly easy with the Gingerbread punch. For product list see the bottom of this post.

Single card!

RIBBON/TWINE SHARES

I'm currently offering two shares from the current Holiday Catalog - one for ribbon and one for twine.
