Home for the Holidays with the November Pals’ Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Home for the Holidays. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I first thought I wanted to make a double z-fold card, but using the whole cabin on the front would’ve been difficult. I just made a little adjustment, and came up with this idea.

Here’s my Home for the Holidays fun fold card:

Measurements:

  • The Boho Blue base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches. Score at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4 inches.
  • You will need another piece of Boho Blue measuring 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inches.
  • Trim the 6 x 6 inch One Horse Open Sleigh DSP (designer series paper) to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches.
  • I used the 1-7/8 by 5-3/8 inch piece with two trees for the right side of the inside. I trimmed another piece to the same measurements for the left-hand side as well.
  • The white cardstock for the inside measures 5-3/8 by 4-1/8 inches.
  • Trim a piece of coordinating DSP to 6 inches by2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap.
  • Finally, I punched a 1-inch circle from a coordinating piece of DSP for the envelope seal. To create the seal, run your 1-inch circle through a XYRON create-a-sticker.
  • That’s it for the measurements.

Putting the Card Together:

  • Burnish all folds using a bone folder.
  • After wiping the front of the cabin piece of DSP with your embossing buddy, stamp the sentiment in VersaMark ink.
  • Cover the sentiment with white embossing powder and heat set with your heat tool.
  • Both the inside and outside sentiments come from the Brightest Glow stamp set. I used Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the inside sentiment.
  • I wanted to keep this card as clean and simple as possible. Therefore, I didn’t use any dimensionals. Instead, I adhered everything using multipurpose liquid glue.
  • Adhere the cabin DSP to the separate piece of Boho Blue cardstock.
  • Then, add liquid glue to the front flap of the basic z-fold card and adhere the cabin DSP/cardstock piece to the front fold.
  • Adhere one of the 1-7/8 by 5-3/8 piece of trees DSP to the left inside of the card.
  • Adhere the second piece of trees DSP to the right side of the white cardstock Adhere the cardstock to the inside of the card.
  • Finally, don’t tell the recipient how basic the card really is.
  • With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

Going Purple for the October Pals’ Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is The Color Purple. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My daughter absolutely loves all things Halloween! I need to get a card, and other things, in the mail to her asap since she lives on the other side of the country. She actually started decorating in September because that’s almost October…you get the picture. Since this is a fun fold card, that means I will also be uploading this to the current Creative Creases Challenge. If you love fun folds as much as I do, this anything goes fun fold challenge is perfect for you!

Here’s my card:

This year, I only need Halloween cards for my daughter, two great-nieces and one great-nephew. Therefore, the only current Halloween supplies I have is this Pumpkin Pie DSP from a paper share I purchased from Brian King, of Stamp with Brian.

Do you notice anything about the DSP I used for the left, inside panel? The “BOO” sentiment goes in one direction and EEEK! goes in the opposite direction. Love it!

Here’s a close-up:

Measurements:

  • The Gorgeous Grape base measures 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches. It’s scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4 inches.
  • The inside piece of Them Bones DSP (designer series paper) measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches.
  • The DSP for the flaps measures 2-5/8 by 5-3/8 inches. I used a piece of Them Bones DSP (shown above) and a piece of Gorgeous Grape 6 x 6 inch DSP.
  • Trim a piece of the Gorgeous Grape DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap.
  • Punch a 1-inch circle of Them Bones DSP and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal.
  • I used the Trick or Treat panel trimmed from the DSP. You can see that whole 12 x 12 sheet below.
  • I trimmed a piece of black cardstock to 1/8 inch larger than the Trick or Treat DSP because the back of the DSP didn’t really go with the colors I used.
  • I used cardstock scraps for the white inside panel and the Gorgeous Grape letters.

My No-Stamping Assembly:

  • Tie a piece of the gingham ribbon around the Gorgeous Grape DSP.
  • Add dimensionals to the back of that piece of DSP and adhere to the front panel of the card. Since the card is bulky and with the addition of dimensionals, it will require additional postage.
  • Adhere the Halloween DSP to the inside panels of the Gorgeous Grape DSP.
  • Emboss a piece of white cardstock using the dots folder from the Basics Embossing Folders set available as an online exclusive.
  • Using the Alphabet a la Mode die set, I cropped three sets of letters and the exclamation mark, including those little, tiny, tiny dots.
  • Next, I using multipurpose liquid glue to stack the sets of letters on top of each other. I wanted some dimensional, but I didn’t want to have to use dimensionals to accomplish that.
  • Use multipurpose liquid glue to attach the letters to the white cardstock, which gets adhered to the white panel.
  • When placing the white panel on the inside of the card, make sure that it is covered by the Trick or Treat panel. You don’t want that sticking out.
  • With that, I’d completed this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

All Creatures Great & Small, Creative Creases, & the September Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is All Creatures Great and Small. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I chose to use the Little Monkey stamp set and Countryside Corners die set. These monkeys are so stinking cute!

Here’s my Little Monkey:

As I am wont to do with my fun fold cards, I will be uploading this to the Creative Creases Challenge.

Measurements:

  • The Calypso Coral base measures 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches to create a tent base.
  • The easel piece of Calypso Coral cardstock measures 5-3/8 inches by 2 inches scored at 3/8, 1, and 1/38 inches. Use your bone folder to burnish the scores, creating a mountain in the middle. Each end folds up to attach to the inside of the card base. However, don’t attach the easel piece until you are finished with the rest of the card.
  • After I embossed a piece of Calypso Coral using the Basics Embossing Folder, I trimmed it to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches.
  • Connie Stewart has a video, which you can find here, explaining how to use the Countryside Corner stamp set and a mask to get just the part of the stamp you want. For the front, I used Granny Apple Green cardstock for the stamped octagon and a Calypso Coral one for the back The Calypso Coral octagons were cropped from the largest die, and I used the next largest for the Granny Apple Green.
  • I already posted a flap card with the Little Monkey stamp set, which you can see here.
  • Crop two pieces of white cardstock using the largest Countryside Corner die for the front and back.
  • Trim a piece of coordinating Calypso Coral 6 x 6 inch DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap. Punch a 1-inch circle from another DSP pattern and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal.
  • I used scraps of white for the bananas and monkey, which needs to be fussy cut.

Stamping, Punching, & Fussy Cutting:

  • Stamp the monkey in Tuxedo Black ink. Color with the Crumb Cake combo blends. I just kept adding layers of color using the dark Crumb Cake for the darker parts of the monkey.
  • Use the pink-ish color blend from the light natural tones blend duo for the ears and cheeks.
  • Fussy cut the monkey.
  • Stamp five bananas in Early Espresso ink and color with Daffodil Delight Stamping Write Marker so the color doesn’t bleed. Punch with the monkey punch.
  • Using Early Espresso ink, stamp the branch surrounding leaves and the sentiment on the cropped white octagon.
  • Color the branch using the Pecan Pie blends.
  • Color the leaves with the Granny Apple Green blends.
  • The only dimensionals I used were to pop up the monkey and the top of the bunch of bananas.
  • Use multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the rest of the layers on the front.
  • I haven’t decided what the back sentiment will be yet. Therefore, after adhering the white cardstock and the Calypso Coral octagon, I temporarily adhered it to the back of the card using some repositionable tape.
  • Adhere the flaps on ends of the two sides of the card so the mountain fold is in the middle.
  • With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

CASe the Catty for the July Pals’ Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is CASE the Catalog. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Here’s my Rainy Day card from page 61 of the catalog:

 

I just love everything about this Playing in the Rain stamp set, die set, and coordinating rain embossing folder.  Absolutely everything.  When I was thumbing through the catalog, for probably the fiftieth time, I saw this card and couldn’t resist. Would you believe the DSP comes from the Fresh as a Daisy DSP?  I know!  I was surprised as well!  

Measurements and Assembly:  

  • Trim a piece of Boho Blue cardstock to 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, and score at 4-1/4 inches.
  • Trim a piece of Old Olive 6 x 6 inch DSP to 6 inches by 2-1/2 inches.
  • Punch a 1-inch circle of coordinating DSP for the envelope seal. Run it through a XYRON create-a-sticker.
  • Trim a piece of this landscape DSP from the Fresh as a Daisy DSP to 5-1/4 by 4 inches.
  • Adhere the DSP to the cardstock base using multipurpose liquid glue
  • Stamp the adorable fox on white cardstock using Momento Tuxedo Black ink.
  • Use the Old Olive, Crumb Cake, and Pecan Pie blend combos to colors the fox. I also used one of the natural tone blends for the face and hands.
  • Outline the umbrella using the dark Daffodil Delight blend.
  • Stamp the sentiment using Boho Blue ink on white cardstock.
  • Trim and fussy cut the sentiment into a banner.
  • Crop the fox using the die set.
  • Crop the bridge (Crumb Cake) and the grass pieces (Old Olive) pieces.
  • Add dimensionals to the back of the fox. and bridge.
  • HINT: If you adhere grass pieces on either end of the front of the bridge using liquid glue, you will be able to hide the dimensionals.
  • Tie a bow using the Boho Blue In Color jute twine. Use a glue dot to adhere it to the back of the sentiment banner.
  • Add dimensionals to the back of the banner and adhere to the card.
  • Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4 by 5-1/4 inches for the inside.
  • Stamp your sentiment using Boho Blue ink.
  • With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

In Colors Galore for the June Pals’ Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is the New 2023-2025 In Colors. We hope you will be inspired by all the creations the Pals share with you! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I used the Fresh as a Daisy Suite Collection for my inspiration for this blog hop.  I couldn’t decide which new In Colors to use, so I decided to use four of them.  The Fresh as a Daisy DSP really does all the work for each of the cards.   I wound up making cards for each of the three levels of stampers:  beginner, casual, and avid.  Without further delay, here are my three cards using four of the 2023 – 2025 In Colors.

My beginner card uses Wild Wheat:

HINT: I used the Baker’s Twine wrapped around the DSP three times and adhered the ends using a piece of tear & tape. Then, I added the bow by tying it around the baker’s twine. The best part of doing it this way was that I could slide the bow over to accommodate the sentiment panel.

I did add a tiny amount of Wink of Stella to the Pecan Pie colored part of the center of the flowers. I have to admit, this was my least favorite color in the group, but it looks fabulous with Early Espresso.

My casual card uses my new very favorite In Color combination, Boho Blue and Copper Clay:

I am going to have to get another pack of this DSP just to be able to have more of the paper using this color combination. You can see another card with this color combination here.

I thought this card would be a casual stamper card because of the heat embossing on the front and inside of the card.  On the inside, I wanted something to go over the sentiments without covering them up at all.  Enter clear embossing powder.

HINT:  Make sure you use an embossing buddy on your cardstock before stamping using the VeraMark.  You don’t want any oil from your fingers at all when using embossing powders.

HINT #2:   You can’t tell it by looking at it now, but when I stamped the flower on the front using the VersaMark, I had a couple of spots where the ink didn’t transfer to the paper.  Never fear, my VersaMark pen allowed me to color in the missing portions before adding the embossing powder.  I got mine from Amazon, and you can find the link here.  It’s a game changer.

My avid card uses Moody Mauve and Wild Wheat:

There are multiple layers of DSP, all of which comes from the Fresh as a Daisy DSP pack, stamped flowers and leaves, which are then cropped using the dies, baker’s twine and decorative dots on this card.

HINT: When I am dry-fitting my cards, especially those with multiple layers like this one, I find that my removable tape runner is a game changer. You only need about an inch of the tape to adhere the layers and it rubs off with your fingers. I get mine from Amazon, and you can find the link here.

HINT # 2: When using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine, I use Post-It Note tape to keep my dies exactly where I want them. You can find these on Amazon here. I tried the thinner tape first, but found it didn’t hold as well. These pieces of tape are reusable, so keep them handy.

The May Pals’ Blog Hop Plays Tic-Tac-Toe

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, we have a Tic Tac Toe theme. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we love reading your comments. Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Here’s the Tic-Tac-Toe board of inspiration:

Here’s my fancy fold, flowers, and pearls or dots card:

While I’ve already posted a joy fold card, once again, I turned to Mary Deatherage with Stamps-n-Lingers for the measurements. You can find her video with the directions and measurements for this card. here I did make a couple of changes, and will add those in my directions.

Measurements:

  • The Night of Navy base measures 4-1/4 by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 5-1/2 inches. This creates the front flap.
  • The Boho Blue cardstock piece measures 3-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches. This piece is larger than the original directions. I adjusted the measurements based on the die cut from the Scalloped Contours die set.
  • DSP (designer series paper) pattern # 1 – 5-3/8 by 4-1/8 for the inside panels
  • DSP pattern # 2 – 3-7/8 x 4-1/8 inches for. the front flap panel.
  • DSP pattern # 3 – 3-7/8 x 4-1/8 inches.
  • Don’t forget to trim a piece of DSP to 6 inches.by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap. Punch a 1 inch circle from coordinating DSP for the envelope seal.
  • I added ribbon to tie the card together. I did use by bone folder to get good creases, but thought I needed to add ribbon.
    • I used the Night of Navy border ribbon and cut two lengths
    • Each piece is about 6 inches long.
    • Use tear& tape to adhere ribbon under the front flap DSP and also the folded over DSP,
    • I have about 3 inches under each piece of DSP.
    • HINT: Make sure you have it coming out of the front flap of the Night of Navy so that it is on the left-hand side.
  • I used the Color and Contour stamp set to stamp the flowers. I used Night of Navy ink on Boho Blue for the outside. The sentiment on the inside is Night of Navy and I stamped off Boho Blue using another flower from the same stamp set.
  • By following Mary’s directions, and with my adjustments, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

The individual color families were also refreshed.  Some of your favorites have been moved to another family, some retired, and new ones added.  Here are the new color families:

Refreshed Subtles:

 

 

Refreshed Brights:

 

 

Refreshed Neutrals:

 

 

 

While I love a color refresh, it means I have to reorganize my color families to update them.  I like to keep my stamp pads in the Stamp-n-Storage inkpad storage in color families.  Same with my markers.  

HINT:  I use a stamp set container to store my markers.  It allows me to keep store them flat and I can fit one color family in each container.  I just write down a list of the colors on a piece of paper and slip it in the cover.

However, I haven’t reorganized my color families yet.  Truth be told, my room is a mess right now because I am in the middle of reorganizing.  I have so, so , so much retired product that I need to sell ASAP.

Again, thank you for stopping by today!  Enjoy!
