Patterned Pines Gift Tag

Today I am sharing an easy gift tag that my Stamp-a-Stack group made recently. It uses the Hostess Set Patterned Pines. Supplies used were Bravo Burgundy and Always Artichoke ink and paper, white card stock, sponge dauber, small oval punch, scallop border punch, and round tab punch. The patterned paper is retired, but any other paper would work just as well!
I used 3 little rhinestones to decorate the tree. They don't show up in the photo, but do add some bling when you look at it in real life. This was such an easy project to put together! I hope you'll get a head start making pretty gift tags so they will all be ready when you need them. Happy Stamping! Thanks for stopping by.

Winter Post reindeer

This cute card was one we made in my Stamp-a-Stack this week. Pam Miller designed the card for me. The supplies for this card are the reindeer from the Winter Post stamp set, and the word image is from Season of Joy stamp set. Card stock is Old Olive, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White. The retired Dashing designer paper makes a pretty strip on the left. Accessories include vintage brads, ticket corner punch, distressing tool from the Cutter Kit, Twill tape, Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, and adhesive.
Everyone loved this card! Hope you enjoy it also!

Serene Snowflakes

Today I would like to share a card with the new Serene Snowflakes stamp set. It was stamped in Encore Silver ink.
My downline Pam Miller designed this card for my Stamp-a-Stack workshop. She was so great to help me prepare for my event!

The retired Wintergreen DSP was perfect for this card. The snowflake themed paper was just what we needed for this card. The triangle shapes measured 4" x 3 " and were folded to make a point and attached to the ends of the card base (Sage Shadow). The snowflake was stamped on a 2 1/2" square. Of course, you had the option of attaching the snowflake as shown in the photo or placing it on a diagonal with the points going up and down. It made a great project!
If you're looking for an unusual fold, this may be the card for you.
Supplies:
Card Stock: Sage Shadow, Whisper White, Wintergreen designer paper, Silver Encore Ink, Small Rhinestone (for center of snowflake), Ticket Corner punch, adhesive.

Best Wishes & More card

This pretty card will be one of my Stamp-a-Stack Christmas cards at my workshop this month. It actually uses several stamp sets. The fun part was deciding how to make the "song" ripple on the paper. I made a mask to go over the card front with the rippled shape cut out. The red images were stamped over the cut out area. So easy to do!
Supplies: Whisper White and Riding Hood Red card stock, Handsome Hunter and R.H. red ink, Stamp sets: Best Wishes and More, Peaceful Wishes.
Accessories: Red Organza Ribbon, dimensionals.
Inspiration for this card came from ssnotime64 Christmas Bird on the Splitcoaststampers website. Such a fun card to make! Thanks for visiting today!

Cold and Cuddly

Have you seen this cute new stamp set? It is called Cold & Cuddly (# 116523) and sells for just $27.95.

I couldn't resist playing with this little bear. He is embossed with white Embossing Powder on Bashful blue paper. I cut him out and popped him up on the little block of ice. I thought he should be looking at something so I punched out a 1" circle and colored it with my aqua painter and some yellow and gray inks to make a moon.

This little card measures 4" square after folding. I'm already thinking of some other ideas to make with this stamp set. I hope this card inspires you to make a new card today.

Patterned Pines Snowflake card

Here's a different look for the Patterned Pines stamp set. This one uses the snowflake and the corner flourish. The snowflake was stamped in Wild Wasabi ink on white card stock, then cut out. It was layered on punched pieces from the Scallop circle punch , the 1 3/8" ,1 1/4" and 1" circle punches. The designer paper is Wild Wasabi dsp. I really like this color of green for Christmas. I think it goes really great with Real Red. The white grosgrain ribbon was threaded through a little hole under the medallion and wrapped around the edge of the card and tied in a knot.

Patterned Pines Snowflake card inside

The image on the left shows the inside of the card. The scallop edge punch was used to decorate the strip of dsp. The sentiment stamp is one I've had for years, manufacturer unknown.
The little star on the right shows how the hole for the ribbon was covered up! I like to use fun details like this little circle punch. It's like a little surprise when you open up the card!
The Patterned Pines set is a Level 1 Hostess set from the Holiday Mini Catalog.
