Toile Tidings Christmas tree card/updates

Welcome to my blog. Hope you had a great weekend. My sister came to visit and had a a craft fair on Saturday. The craft fair was fun and I sold quite a lot. Therefore I needed to get busy today to make more for the upcoming craft fairs. With the Toile Tidings DSP I made some Christmas tree cards. I have a die that makes the card but on Pinterest there are patterns available. For the card base I used Mossy Meadow cardstock and the layer is from the Toile Tidings DSP.

Then I decided to make a gingerbread man card with a die I have. I used Early espresso for the card base, soft suede , whisper white for icing and face. I used Let it Snow Specialty DSP for the clothes.

Reminder. It’s a new month so we have a new host code. 92C74EAE. Use this for orders less than 150$. For orders more than 25$ I’ll send you the materials to make two cards.

Let it Snow Specialty DSP Lip Balm holder

Welcome to my blog. I’m behind in my crafting. Was suppose to come home from agility trial Sunday but the wind was so bad I did not leave till Monday. I didn’t want to drive home with the trailer in th gusty winds. I’m going to share some of the things Im making for the craft fairs using product from Stampin Up. This first item I saw in several YouTube videos and had to give it a try. It’s a lip balm holder.

To make this I made bookmarks using Red cardstock and Let it Snow DSP. I made the base using the red cardstock then cut a layering piece from the DSP. I used a die from My Favorite Things to make the lip balm holder space in the DSP. I also got the lip balm pouch from My Favorite Things. I then put the lip balm inside and glued to the base. You can find directions on YouTube for more info. You can buy the cardstock, DSP and the Real Red Curly Ribbon rom my website. Use the host code GEFVQAWH for orders less than 150$.

Happy Crafting

Nature’s Beauty/Toile Tidings DSP/Wrapped in Plaid DSP

Welcome to my blog. Did you order any of the stamps on sale? Let me know what you got.
The following cards I made using up all my scraps.

These cards not only are great for Christmas but birthday as well. They are also good guy cards. The card on the left I made from the scraps of the other.
Materials and Directions:
The card bases are the same for both cards. I used Old Olive cardstock 8-1/2 x11 cut at 5-1/2 . This gave me the two card bases.
Card on the right:
1. A piece of Toile Tidings DSP 4 x 5-1/4. I cut out the center using Stitched Nested Lable dies. The piece cut out save for second card.
2. On apiece of Very Vanilla stamp the deer image from the Nature’s Beauty stamp set. Glue to the back of the Toile Tidings DSP. Then Glue ‘‘this to the card front.

Card on the left:
1. Cut a piece 4x 5-1/4 from Wrapped in Plaid DSP .  Using Double Stitched ribbon glue this around the middle. Glue this to the front of the other card base .
2. The center you cut out from the Toile Tidings DSP glue to the front. I used dimensionals.
You can order the materials from my website.
Happy Crafting!

Stamp Sale / Paper Pumpkin

Welcome to my blog. Another busy weekend . Went to Corgi Con last weekend . It was a blast. Hundreds of corgis at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. This event is twice a year, fall and summer. Here is a picture of my Corgi Luzy and I having fun in the Ninja Warrior event. She was suppose to go under the limbo pole but decided to jump it.

Tomorrow starts the 24 hour stamp sale at Stampin Up. If there are stamps on this list you’ve been thinking about this is the time to get them. I’m going to get the Tea Together stamp set.. What are you getting? You can go to my website to order .

November Paper Pumpkin  is available to order. This kit has gift tags you can make for your gifts. You have till November 10 to order it.

Feels Like Frost DSP

Welcome to my blog. This is a very busy time of the year. Craft fairs, craft fair prep and dog shows. I have something every weekend till Christmas. This weekend is Corgi Con at Ocean Beach in San Francisco California. If your near there on Saturday come on by between 10am -2pm and see hundreds of corgis .  If you noticed the cards I made are not Corgis but Border Collie( another breed of dog I own). As I mentioned in a past blog I love making cards with dogs. Unfortunately Stampin Up does not have many dog stamps and dies . I have quite a collection and love to use them with my Stampin Up papers.  The new Holiday catalog has some beautiful paper collections and Feels Like Frost DSP is one of them. I think it worked well with the dog stamp to make a non traditional Christmas card. You could do this with stamps you have and the Stampin Up papers. The Christmas sentiment is also from Stampin Up. It’s called Itty Bitty Christmas. This stamp set has a nice variety
of seasonal sentiments.
The paper and the sentiment stamp set can be purchased from my website.
Happy Crafting! Don’t forget to use the host code GEFVQAWH for orders less than 150$.

Fridays CASE with Snowman Season

Welcome to my blog. What does CASE mean. It means copy and share everything. You find s card layout you like and copy it. You can copy exactly or change it up to make it yours. Either way a great resource for this is the Annual catalog or Holiday catalog. The following card I cased from the Annual catalog on page 69. I don’t have the stamp set they used so I used Snowman Season stamp set instead. I also used a different ribbon.

 Materials and Directions:
1. Card base- Night of Navy cardstock 5-1/2 x4-1/4
2. Layering piece is from the 2018-2020 6x6 DSP cut  3-1/2 x 4-3/4
3. Layering piece is Whisper White cut from Stitched rectangle die. If you don’t have it cut a rectangle 3 x3-1/4. Stamp Snowman image and sentiment.  I used the sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas but you can use a sentiment you have. Glue this to the DSP layer.
4. I used Flax ribbon and glued this first on the front. Then using dimensionals I added the layering piece.
If you get stuck on ideas for cards, check your catalog for ideas.
You can order this fun Snowman Season Set from my website as well as other materials.
Happy Crafting
