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.

P.S. in case you’re wondering, these are the new lawn ornaments assembled inside, waiting for a dry period to put out.

Time to celebrate treat boxes

Happy July 4th everyone!  Today’s project is a box inspired by Angie Pyjas of Stampingwithamore.  I slightly changed her measurements so the box would fit together more to my liking.  These will be going out to the employees of our local Winco store.  The finished box size is 3 x 1 3/4 x 1”.  I used whisper white, real red and misty moonlight cardstock along with the Designer Series Paper from the Boho Indigo product medley.  The sentiment comes from Itty Bitty Birthdays.

You will need a piece of whisper white cut at 5x5.  Score on the one side at 1” and 4”. Rotate clockwise score at 2” and 3”.  Burnish score lines then cut up the score lines on either side of the small squares to form tabs.  Place adhesive on the inside of two of the longer flaps on one end.  Fold the opposing sides in over your tabs, then fold the adhesive tabs up and secure to make the box.

Next you will need a piece of  real red card stock that is 8 1/8” x 3 1/8”.  Score on the landscape side at 2 1/32, 3 1/32, 5 1/16 and 6 1/16.  This piece will wrap around your box.   Dry fit your box by placing the box bottom into the 1” sections and wrap.  Then round the corners of the top flap.  You will need Designer Series Paper cut at 3/4 x 2 7/8 and another piece cut at 1 3/4 x 2 7/8 in landscape if a directional Paper.  Adhere to box to the wrap in the bottom 1” section.  I used liquid glue.  I the. Adhered then front and back to the box front and back to secure.  You do not have to do this step if you like the look of it hanging loose.  To secure the flap, I used a very thin Velcro adhesive dot.

To decorate, I stamped my sentiment in real red on whisper white and cut with the smallest scallop from the stitched so sweetly dies.  I added this to the second smallest scallop rectangle from the same die set.  This was added to the front.  I had some retired stars on hand to embellish and added some red rhinestones to finish it off.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today.  This box could be used for any occasion simply by changing the colors and sentiment.

Lucky little Ladybug card

Today’s project features a free Sale-a-Bration stamp set which you can earn with a qualifying order or by hosting a workshop ((either in person or virtual).  I also used the coordinating Ladybug dies (153588) which can be purchased through March 31, 2020, or while supplies last.  I started with an A2 card base in Granny Apple Green.  Then on a layer of Whisper White, I stamped the four lady bug image around the edges, masking the corners with a sticky note.  I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the stitched scallop die from Stitched So Sweetly dies (151690) and then stamped the large flower.  I also stamped the large flower on a scrap piece of cardstock, along with the lady bug.  I colored these images in with Stampin’ Blends, then cut them out with the coordinating dies.  In the die set, there is a die to cut the entire flower, or just the flower top.  In cut just the flower top.  The sentiment also comes from the same stamp set.  I added the scallop rectangle to a piece of basic black cardstock, then added to the lady bug framed whisper white piece.  I saw a similar card on Pinterest by Terri Pocock.

The photo below shows the colors I used for this card.

Unique Lovely Lily Pad card

Today’s project was inspired by a video I watched (sorry, I can’t remember who).  It features the Sale-a-Bration free stamp set called Lovely Lily Pad (152288).  It can’t be purchased, but can only be earned for free with a $50 purchase.  In any case, she took the medium lily and stamped it in multiple directions to make a new unique flower.  I loved how it turned out and immediately had to try it out.  This card is the result.  I first diecut a piece of whisper white card stock using the Stitched So Sweetly dies (151690).  I then stamped the medium lily using Memento Tuxedo Black ink (north), then flipped the stamp upside down (south) and lined it up so the bottom was touching the bottom of the previously stamped image.  Next, I stamped the image on a piece of sticky note paper with two thicknesses, then fussy cut it out just inside the outline to form a mask.  I used these masks to place over the two images I stamped on my cardstock.  I then stamped the lily two more times in the openings to the east and west of the masks.  You will have stamped the image four times (north, south, east and west) to form the new flower image.  Very clever right?  I then repeated this process randomly to fill my diecut.  Using my stamping blends, I then colored the images.  The ink pads in the second photo are the colors of blends I used.  I mounted my focal image on a piece of basic black cardstock.  I cut a layer of Follow your Art Designer Series Paper (149489) for the base layer and tied a piece of the Polka Dot Tulle ribbon (146912) around the piece before mounting it to an A2 size card base in basic black.  I left it without a sentiment so I can add it later and use for any occasion.  This card is perfect for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, just because and even sympathy.

Stampin’ blends Used:  Lovely Lipstick light 147026, Rococo Rose combo 149572, Pineapple Punch combo 147280 and Mango Melody dark 147944.
