Paper Crafting Blog Hop Sweet Stockings

December 15, 2021December 14, 202112 Comments

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of gift packaging projects to share with you. You may have arrived from Maureen’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

The Sweet Stocking suite is for the dog and cat lover. The images on the patterned paper are so cute! The paper is richly toned with cherry cobbler, evening evergreen along with shades of bumblebee, cinnamon cider, old olive and pool party. I decided to make a wrap to go around the Acetate Card Boxes. Position the patterned paper for a custom wrap tailored to the person receiving the box whether they like dog or cats.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop Gingerbread and Peppermint

November 17, 2021November 17, 202114 Comments

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of projects to share with you featuring December Holidays. You may have arrived from Maureen’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

The Gingerbread and Peppermint Suite has lots of options. Select just a few items or get the whole lot! I used the Gingerbread and Peppermint patterned pack to create a dramatic back drop for my merry message. Three die cut shapes from the Pillowbox Dies were used on the card. Can you find all three?

The tag “ribbon” is actually a scrap of real red cardstock for something a little different.

My Youtube video shows how to use the long tag to create the fancy edge on the Real Red cardstock.

Sale-a-bration 2019 Paper Crafting Blog Hop

January 16, 2019January 16, 201921 Comments

I hope you are enjoying our Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop featuring Sale-a-bration 2019 products. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe are participating so we have a wide array of fun projects to share with you! You may have arrived from Sandra Robert’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

I decided to spotlight buzzing butterflies using the Botanical Butterfly Sale-a-bration 2019 designer series paper and coordinating Butterfly Duet punch. The “a little note” sentiment is part of the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

Squish a length of organdy ribbon on a strip of tear n tape for a 3-D look. Gingham Gala adhesive backed sequins create whimsy.

Paper Crafting Packaging Blog Hop

I hope you are enjoying our Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop featuring gift packaging. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe are participating so we have a wide array of fun projects to share with you! You may have arrived from the United Kingdom and Sandra Robert’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

The leftover custom designer series paper I created for this blog post was still on my table when I started to gather supplies for my project. So I grabbed by scoring tool and an acetate box to quickly create a custom belly band. The whisper white cardstock measures 4.5×11 inches with scoring at 4 1/2, 5 1/8, 9 5/8 and 10 1/4 inches as marked on the photo below. Use a strip of tear and tape to secure the band after wrapping around the acetate box.

The paper and ribbon belly band are not secured to the acetate box so the box can be reused for a different occasion. Use our epoxy dew drops and clear faceted gems generously since this box is intended to be hand delivered. The white flax ribbon is a new spring catalog product.

Glossy paper snowflakes add just the right touch…

The Spirited Snowmen stamp set is only available in the Holiday catalog. Purchase it now before it melts away!

Holidays Paper Crafting Blog Hop

November 21, 2018November 21, 201811 Comments

I hope you are enjoying our Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop featuring Christmas projects. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe are participating so we have a wide array of fun projects to share with you! You may have arrived from Ginger Rabesa’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

The Christmas Pines stamp set and coordinating Pretty Pines framelits have finally arrived in my house. I thought my sister Tricia purchased them when they were introduced with the bundle pricing. We would discuss getting the products several times this year until I finally wanted to use them. I asked if I could borrow them and she said she did not get them. So off I went to purchase them with my demonstrator discount. That really helps stretch the paper crafting dollars.

I am so happy with this card. It’s made festive with the pine cone and sprig embellishments cut using the Pretty Pines framelits. The Wood Crate framelits make cutting a wooden crate easy. The decorated crate is my favorite part of this greeting card.
