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.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  I appreciate you taking time from your busy day.  To purchase any Stampin’ Up! Supplies, click on the shopping cart in the upper right corner.  It will take you to my online store where you can shop 24/7.  I would love to earn your business.

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

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.   

Supplies used:

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

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

Basic White Cardstock, half sheet for stamping and die cutting 

Misty Moonlight cardstock scrap for sentiment

Stampin’ Blends in Misty Moonlight light, Balmy Blue light, Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent

Blending Brush

ink pads in Momento Tuxedo black, Versamark clear and Night of Navy

This Little Piggy is growing up birthday card

Hello everyone!  I just had to share this card today.  It was designed and made by my 14-year-old granddaughter Kaitlyn for her mom’s birthday.  She did the majority of the work, all of the design, coloring and fussy cutting.  I am thrilled with the way this turned out.  I picked her up after school, we came home and she got started working straight away.  When she was finished, she was ready to go home.  Her mom gets a lovely card and I got to spend some quality crafting time with my granddaughter.  It was a win-win.  The stamp set she chose is called This Little Piggy.  The sentiment comes from Itty Bitty Birthdays.  The flowers were die cut from Gorgeous Grape cardstock using the Bouquet Bunch framelits.  The grass is cut from a retired framelit set which was part of the Basket Bunch bundle.  Her card base is Highland Heather, with a layer of Soft Sky (retired) and a piece of the Highland Heather gingham Designer Series Paper from Gingham Gala 6x6 Designer Series Paper stack.  She used a bit of Wink of Stella on the cloud which is also from This Little Piggy.  She colored the pig with Stampin’ Blends in Petal Pink (combo), Ivory for her nose and light Crumb Cake on the hooves.  I think she did a fabulous job for her first time using the blends.  She then fussy cut out the pig and popped her up on stampin’ dimensionals.

I should have taken a photo of the inside of the card, but forgot.  Inside she used the Making a Difference stamp set to spell out Kinda, then added lol and jk (just joking).  Her mom got a laugh out of the sentiment she made.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s project and are inspired to create something of your own.  Please leave a comment, we’d love to hear from you.  If you want to purchase any Stampin’ Up! Supplies, I would be grateful for your business.  Please click on the shopping cart in the upper right.  It will take you directly to my online store.  Thanks for stopping by my blog today, make it a great day and happy stamping!
