 Sweet Little Stockings



As I was searching for ideas on Pinterest for an upcoming class, I found this cute Gift card holder by Jane Proffitt at Gal Friday Stamping & thought it was adorable!  Click on her link to see her version.
But since I only had one pack of the Sweet Stockings DSP at home, I knew I wouldn't have enough to cover a whole class if I used a full card front of that Pool Party design, so I decided to come up with a different idea.
I stamped the little gifts & stars on a 4'' x 5 1/4'' piece of Pool Party CS, using Pool Party ink, and then embossed it with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder to add texture to it.  I then glued that on a Basic White card base 5 1/2'' x 8 1/2'' (scored at 4- 1/4'')
The pocket was made using a die from the Sweet Little Stockings bundle.  I cut out a 2 1/2'' x 4 1/2'' piece of that lights DSP, cut out the pocket.  And then cut 1'' off from the top, flipped it and glued it onto the top part of the pocket.
I then used dimensionals to pop the pocket up, and the same behind the kitty's head.  I used the Light & Dark Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends to color the cute face!
For the greeting, I just stamped it in Cherry Cobbler ink on a piece of Basic White strip I had laying around.  I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels & made a bow using a piece of the Striped Grosgrain Pool Party

Card #2-
And here's another card I had made last week with that same bundle, but I used the Bloom where you're Planted DSP for the Chimney. 
I cut out a piece of Cinnamon Cider CS (1'' x 4 1/8''), rounded the 2 bottom corners using the Detailed Trio Punch, and then embossed it with the Bark 3D embossing folder. 
I used the Tulips Punch for the flames with the Gold Shimmer Velum and the Label me Lovely Punch for the black part.  And just embossed a couple of small strips of Early Expresso witht he Bark 3D embossing folder for the logs.  Shaded Spruce cardstock cut out with the Sprigs Punch.



Thanks for stopping by & I hope I've inspired you to give this card a try!

Candy Canes Stamp set

This was one of the gifts I received in my Maui box when we had opted-out of the Maui incentive trip due to Covid19!  It came with many other cool products & gifts! So I finally dug it out to play with it last night, but if you know me, you hear me say how I'm more of a copier than a designer! lol Well I just happened to go back to a sketch challenge from a FB group and thought I would give it a try, so instead of DSP, I decided to stamp the Candy Canes stamp on a 4 1/8'' x 5 3/8'' Basic White cardstock, using Real Red ink. Then I cut the bottom off in a diagonal cut.  (Used the bottom piece inside my card) You can do the swirls 2 ways, either white on red, or red on white.   And then I made these other 2 cards which I cased from Pinterest, I'll put the link on each names so that they get the credit, plus you can find the products used.   For this card, I got the idea from a card made by the talented  Mikaela Titheridge .  I just stamped my greeting twice so

 As many of you know, the new mini catalogue went live on January 4th, plus the new Sale-a-Bration brochure is in force!!! I started playing with the new products I received so far! The first 2 cards were made using the Dainty Flowers DSP you get for FREE with a $60 CAD order during Sale-a-Bration (Jan & Feb 2023)  This paper coordinates with the Dainty Delight Bundle , it is $74.50 CAD, so by ordering this bundle, you qualify for the pack of DSP for free! I love how this paper looks textured, similar to watercolor paper! Here's a close-up... I used the Medium Daisy punch & a small circle punch for the center. And for these 2 cards, I used the Favored Flowers DSP you also get for Free with a $60 purchase during SAB!   There is a coordinating bundle called Fragrant Flowers that is $67.50, so if you get that, it would qualify you for this paper, or you can order something else.  I simply fussy-cut the flowers from this beautiful pack of paper for both of my cards!      An

 Wish Christmas was still a month away, we just don’t have enough time to play with all of the Holiday stamp sets! 🤪  So here are a few of the ones I either made in my own time or while my stampin’ buddy, Diane S, was here to visit. Many are inspired by cards found on Pinterest, so I can't take credit for them, except for a few.
