Bella & Friends for Christmas Gift Card Holder

By anamarie | November 29, 2016

Who Doesn’t Love a Puppy Wearing a Santa Hat?

No one! Especially when the note card size project holds a gift card and is super cute inside out.

Inspiration for today’s color combo was borrowed from the beautiful Christmas Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Catalog, Presents & Pinecones. The name should be Presents, Pinecones & Bows!

Just Stamp Tips

Emerald Envy, Cherry Cobble and Mint Macaron unite for a trendy Christmas color combo.
Pre-cut and scored Note Cards and Envelopes are an easy start to this gift card holder project.
Bella’s Santa hat was an easy accessory borrowed from the Snow Place Stamp Set and Snow Friends Framelits.
The Bow Builder Punch makes a sweet gift bow in two punches. Use the Bone Folder to stretch the loops before assembling bow. So easy!
One flap from the envelope Gift Card Envelope Thinlit was snipped to create a fast pocket for a gift card.
The Holly Berry Builder Punch created a quick accent for the insert sheet that holds the gift card.

Can’t Miss with Traditional Colors and Theme

Santa’s Sleigh Photopolymer Stamp Set and Thinlits are packed with choices. It’s hard to choose which elements to use. There’s the adorable Christmas pine, the prancing reindeer, the ornate sleigh and all the accessories to load into the sleigh.

Just Stamp Tips

Loading up the sleigh with gifts, stocking and toy was easy. Most of the sleigh load was cropped in just two passes through the Big Shot.

Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green are traditional holiday favorites. This Christmas DSP features the two colors throughout the paper pack of 24 sheets in the perfect layering weight.

Old World Charm with Banners for Christmas

By anamarie | November 12, 2016

Banners For Christmas

Tartan Plaid from the Warmth & Cheer Paper Stack has to be one of my favorites in the Holiday Catalog. I love everything Scottish —including dogs. Plaid paired with the holiday tradition of mistletoe sweeps me away to Edinburgh, land of the castles, kilts and cattle.

To create my card, I first reached for the red plaid, knowing I was crafting a Christmas card. But the Garden Green and Delightful Dijon spark the same old world vibe, too. I love them all.

Just Stamp Tips

Basic Black as the card base allows the tartans to take the reign. As untraditional as it sounds, Basic Black is just as festive as green and red.

Gold Foil peeking from behind the plaids makes the card royal.

It’s all in the details — the Very Vanilla oval was cropped with the new Stitched From the Heart Framelits.

Stamps and a framelit from Banners for Christmas made this project come together lickety split. For the banner, I inked in Basic Black and Cherry Cobble. For the mistletoe, I inked in VersaMark and used Gold Embossing Powder. The mistletoe was watercolored using Garden Green and Wink of Stella, Clear.

New! Stitched From the Heart Framelits

By anamarie | November 8, 2016

0 Comment

I love little details on crafty projects. Details like faux stitching, which once required either dusting off the sewing machine or poking the piercing tool around a template, make a project authentically hand-made.

Stitched from the Heart Framelits make these little details a snap. The framelits will debut in June 2017 in the 2017-18 annual catalog, but Stampin’ Up! is offering a sneak peek and a chance to try them out now. The basic shapes — circles, squares and ovals — are designed with a detailed stitch that adds the little details that pump projects up to the next level.
