Seasons of Fun tree hunt

 Today’s project features Seasons of Fun using the Christmas tree image.  I had so much fun creating these cards and I love how each one turned out.  While this card uses similar products, it has a different feel to it.  The focal image is stamped in Momento Tuxedo black ink on basic white which was die cut with the second largest stitched so sweetly rectangle die.  I added the snowflake image multiple times in pool party ink.  The image is colored with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.  See the photo below for the colors I used.

I mounted the focal image on a 2 3/4” x 4” piece of Cherry Cobbler.  My card base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2” scored in the middle at 4 1/4.  To this I added a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper.  Before I added the Designer Series Paper, I placed a 6” piece of  Cherry Cobbler and Gold 1/2” metallic ribbon across the center and secured with a piece of tear and tape on the back.  The focal piece was then added to the card base with Stampin’ dimensionals.  Pretty simple layout, yet the results are very good.  You can watch the replay here: https://youtu.be/4TGezNhggjA

Seasons of Fun tree hunt

 Wow!  What a busy past several days it’s been here at the Harper house.  With OnStage @Home, putting up Christmas lights, putting together lawn ornaments and watching the smallest grandchild, it’s been very busy!  We decided to get the lights up as Sunday afternoon it was a very warm day here in Oregon, short sleeve weather in Mid-November with no rain is rare.  Don’t worry, the dry didn’t last!  It poured on Monday morning while we were out buying a couple of additions to our decorations. 

Now onto the crafting!  Today’s project features Seasons of Fun host stamp set by Stampin’ Up! It has three main images in the set which cover Halloween, Fall and Christmas.  It is an image only set so you can use any sentiment from your craft stash.   You can earn it for free with a $150 individual or group purchase and use your Stampin’ Rewards dollars to purchase it.  I just love this image.  It reminds me of my granddaughter Abigail.  The image is stamped on Basic White which has been die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  I stamped and colored the image, then masked it with a post it note and added in the background trees which come from Peaceful Deer, but you could use any small tree stamps you have on hand.  The trees are stamped in Evening Evergreen with Soft Suede for the trunks.  It’s mounted on Evening Evergreen die cut using the Scalloped Contour dies and added to a piece of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper 4x5 1/4”.  The card base is Soft Succulent 5 1/2 x 8 1/4”.  You can watch the video here https://youtu.be/4TGezNhggjA
These are the Stampin’ Blends I used to color my image with.


Here is the inside of the card.  The sentiment comes from Inspired Thoughts, which is all-around versatile set for any occasion.  I used the largest scallop rectangle from Stitched So Sweetly and mounted it on Evening Evergreen 3 3/4 x 5.

Christmas Season Tailor Made Tag Ornament Box 6x6

Today's project features several projects from the July-August 2021 mini catalog by Stampin' Up!  I came up with this idea after seeing someone make a box for some Christmas tags and that inspired this project.  I tried making the box for the tags three different ways before I was happy with the end result.  The really nice thing about it is, if you want to use up your Designer Series Paper, this is a good use of it.  Because I designed this to be hung on a Christmas tree,  I chose to use cardstock for mine.  You can watch my FB Live video over at KnT Designs by Teresa from November 2, 2021, to see how I made the tags and box.  This box will hold three tags of each of the largest dies of the Tailor Made Tags along with two of the smaller tags.  That's eight tags in all.



For the box, you will need a 6x6 piece of cardstock or DSP (Soft Succulent)
Score on one side at 1/2, 2 3/4, 3 1/4 and 5 1/2"
Turn 1/4 turn clockwise and score at
1/2, 5 and 5 1/2"  Trim according to the photo template



Designer Series Paper
1 piece at 2 1/8 x 4 3/8 If using a directional pattern, it should be in portrait mode
2 pieces cut at 3/8 x 4 3/8  Portrait
1 piece 3/8 x 2 1/8 in landscape  I used the new Ever Eden DSP which is available while supplies last

Other products used:
Christmas to Remember for the sentiments stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink
Christmas Season for all the stamped and die cut images
Pinecones- Early Espresso and Soft Suede ink stamped on Crumb Cake cardstock
Holly Leaves- Garden Green 1st and 2nd generation stamping on Basic White cardstock
Tailor Made Tags cut from Basic White Cardstock
2 x 5 1/4" Thick Basic White, one end punched with the Delightful Tag Topper punch
Evening Evergreen cardstock for the O and D ring reinforcers.  I placed adhesive sheet on the back of the cardstock prior to die cutting.
Wink of Stella glitter pen
Evening Evergreen ink for the pine boughs 1st and 2nd generation stamping
Versamark ink and gold embossing powder for the gold dots on the pine boughs
Simply Elegant trim for the tag strings
