Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop – Christmas in July

Stampin’ Dreams is blog hopping with Christmas in July.

Do you start your Christmas card crafty early? I love making my Christmas cards early so when the holidays come around, I am finished, and I can enjoy all the fun and celebrations.

The new 2022 July to January Mini catalog has a BUNCH of fabulous Christmas stamp sets. I chose to feature Trees for Sale stamp and the Tree Lot dies. The Tree Lot dies are free with a $50.00 (US) purchase during Sale-a-bration. Free is always good.

Trees for Sale

I paired the stamps set with Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper. This paper may look familiar because it is returning from last year’s catalog. It is so pretty, I’m glad they brought it back.

The white snow on the tress is die cut from white glimmer paper. It is so sparkly. Little touches like this shiny paper make your cards pop. Of course, the sky is coated with Wink of Stella.

Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure you hop on to the next blogger for even more Christmas inspiration.

Home & Garden Cards for Birthdays & Father’s Day

Home & Garden is a fun gardening set in the Mini Catalog. It is perfect for the men in your life. I decided to make a pink card for my DIL as she loves gardening also. I paired it with Plentiful Plants to add some plants and pots. As you can see this set is not just for men!!

Home & Garden

This is a fairly simple layout. I think the bright pink tools make the card pop.

Measurements:

Thick Basic White Cardstock 11” x 4 ¼” card base score at 5 ½”

Basic Gray Cardstock 5 3/8” x 4 1/8”

Polished Pink Cardstock 5 ¼” x 4”

Heart & Home DSP 5” x 3 ¾”

I made this one for Father’s Day. Changing the colors changed the look of the card.

Home & Garden

I shared these cards on a Facebook Live. You can watch it by clicking HERE.

Stamptastic Friends – CASE a Stamptastic Friend

stamptastic friends blog hop

Welcome to the Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. This month we were challenged to CASE another Stamptastic Friend. CASE means Copy. And. Share. Everything. What a hard decision! There are so many fantastic cards and projects to choose. After looking and studying I picked this happy snowman card created by Gina Conner.

Gina Conner

I chose Gina’s card to case because I liked the layout. It has lots of layers and shapes to create interest. To create my card, I substituted a birdhouse and flowers for the snowman. It came out so soft and sweet.

Our Favorite Tools by Stamptastic Friends

stamptastic friends blog hop

Stamptastic Friends are sharing our favorite Stampin’ Up! tools this month. I have no idea how to pick just one favorite tool! We have so many great options: Cut & Emboss Machine, Stamparatus, Paper Snips, Blending Brushes, Paper Trimmer, Heat Gun, and the list goes on and on and on.

I decided to go with the Paper Trimmer #152392. A good Paper Trimmer is a “must have” item for every paper crafter. The paper trimmer cuts & scores which is why I love it so much. It saves me time and saves space in my tiny craft area.

The card I created used cutting and scoring. The Paper Trimmer makes it so easy to create this Tri-Fold card.

I also made a different card using the Crane of Fortune stamp set. It is so hard to pick my favorite.
