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.

Warm winter wishes with Snowbody Better

 Here it is Saturday already!  I have another project for you today I made during my weekly Tuesday night live over on Facebook.  I would love it if you followed me there.  I usually make two projects every Tuesday evening live at 7:45 pm PDT.  You can always watch the replay over on my YouTube page at Teresa Harper kntdesignsbyTeresa.  

I started this project by stamping and coloring the snowman image in Momento Tuxedo black ink as I colored with Stampin’ Blends markers which are alcohol based.  I then fussy cut out the image with my paper snips.  I die cut a piece of basic white cardstock using the second largest Scalloped Contour die.  To this I stamped the snowflake image from Welcoming Woods stamp set in Versamark ink randomly on the top 2/3 of the die cut, added white embossing powder and heat set the powder.  Next, I used a blending brush and Misty Moonlight ink to add a little color to the “sky”.  I then began building my card layers.  To the Night of Navy cardbase, I added a piece of Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper, then added my scalloped die cut.  The snowmen were then added to the scalloped die cut using Stampin’ Dimensionals to give added depth.  The sentiment piece is stamped in Night of Navy ink on Misty Moonlight cardstock, then clear embossing powder was immediately added and heat set.  It must be done very fast as our classic ink dries quickly so you need to have all your supplies open and ready to go.). The sentiment was then cut out with a die from Beautiful Trees dies.  Finally, I added some white gems from Elegent Gems.

Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 1/4”

Night of Navy cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2”
