Paper Crafting Blog Hop Snowflake Splendor

November 18, 2020November 18, 202021 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 fun projects and design styles to share with you showcasing December Celebrations. You may have arrived from Sandy’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

Best laid plans change. I love the Snowflake Splendor Suite. When I initially created this blog post, my plan was to use this suite. But then I got to designing without consulting my notes and came up with these square acetate box designs which are perfectly sized for a couple of candy store chocolate treats.

one for Christmas using a pattern from the Forever Greenery paper pack…

one for Valetine’s using the red velvet 12×12 inch paper…

Both use the beaded pearl trio embellishments found in the August-December mini-catalog. Snap them up quick because they did not make it into the January-June mini-catalog.

Thanks for hopping with us each month. Now click on the next image to zoom to Tracy’s blog and see what fun project she designed.

Here is a list of hoppers in case you get off the trail…

Fun Fridays Facebook Live One Sheet Wonder

October 30, 2020Leave a comment

Let’s get together on my Facebook page for a One Sheet Wonder class tonight at 6:30pm. I’ll start by sharing what I did to create this Fall Sampler and coordinating greeting cards. Then go through the cutting steps to create a set of card candies with a completely different look. At least that’s my plan as I type this post:)

If you want to create along with me, grab 1 sheet of 12×12 patterned paper, an image and sentiment stamp sets, a few coordinating ink pads, a pile of coordinating colored cardstock and either whisper white or very vanilla cardstock, ribbons and embellishments. If you are making a sampler, you will need a base layer of 12×12 coordinating cardstock.

All the supplies I used in the pictured projects are listed below.

Love of Leaves Bundle (includes stamp set and dies)

Tasteful Labels dies

Playful Alphabets dies

In Good Taste designer series paper (on sale now!)

Granny Apple Green ink pad

Poppy Parade ink pad

Soft Suede ink pad

Real Red Blends

Gold Hoops Embellishments

Antiqued Corners and Slides Elements

Forever Greenery ribbon combo

Soft Suede (in the 12×12 assorted color package), Granny Apple Green and Very Vanilla cardstock were used as well.

Yes, this is a true sampler using lots of products!
