30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 26

Good morning!

One can not live on one theme of card alone, haha! so I'm changing things up today from our fall cards to a beautiful Christmas card that uses products from the Toile Tidings Product Suite.

I started with Very Vanilla Thick cardstock for the cardbase and then cut two pieces of DSP from the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper and attached them to a Real Red base to create the cardfront.  Next I wrapped a piece of Real Red 1" Ruched Ribbon around the cardfront to hide the seam.

The greeting is from the Stitched All Around stamp set in the Annual catalog and was stamped in Real Red ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock before being punched out with a Circle Punch before being matted with a circle element cut with the coordinating Stitched Labels Dies and Garden Green cardstock.  I used dimensionals on both layers of the circle greeting for a little extra height and finished off the card with some Real Red Glitter Enamel Dots from the Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots package.

This DSP is so beautiful, I've been hesitant to cut into it but there's no point in having it if we don't use it, right?  One can only have so much craft supplies so why not enjoy them so then you can get more, haha! (not a sentiment my hubby probably appreciates!!)

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #PCC341: Stitched All Around

Good morning!

I've been a little neglectful of my Annual Catalog preorder which included our beautiful 2019-2021 In Colors so I thought this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge was a perfect opportunity to share some of these colors while mixing a little new and old.

I started with Seaside Spray cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock as a mat for the Whisper White cardfront.  On the cardfront I used the new Delightful Day stamp set to stamp several of the images to build up the base for the greeting (I used Seaside Spray, Pretty Peacock, and Rococo Rose inks).


For the main stamped image the greeting is from the Stitched All Around stamp set and after stamping in Pretty Peacock Ink on the Seaside Spray cardstock I cut it out with the Stitched Shapes dies.  Next I added a piece of 2019-2019 Designer Series Paper that I punched out with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch (you can buy both the punch and the Delightful Day stamp set as a bundle and save 10%) on both ends so I could thread pieces of Nature's Twine through the hole and wrap it around the matted cardfront.

The final touches to the card was adding a piece of Pretty Peacock 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon behind the tag piece as well as several silver pearls from the Metallic Pearls for a little bling.

There are so many fun textures and elements that really help dress this card up to help someone know how special you think they are.  Don't forget to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create using this sketch, have fun!

SSINKspiration Favorite Annual Catalog Bundle: Stitched All Around

Good morning!  I'm so excited that it's Friday.  It's time for some family shenanigans before Aidan heads of to his next summer camp adventure.  I've been sharing projects all week using the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper and today I decided to use that paper along with the Fab Friday color challenge to make this card for the SSINKspiration blog where we're showcasing our favorite bundles from the annual catalog (crazy to squeeze so many things into one card, that's multi-tasking).

I started with Powder Pink cardstock for the cardbase and then took a piece of Tranquil Tide cardstock and embossed it with the Big Shot and Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder before adding a strip of the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (this is one of those beautiful floral borders that's included in this paper package and perfect for a little accent.



For the main element I used the Stitched All Around stamp set and stamped the greeting in Mossy Meadow ink on Whisper White cardstock.  The frame was cut out using Mint Macaron cardstock, Big Shot and the Stitched Labels Framelits to cut the large frame.  Then I cut out the center of the greeting and distressed the edges so it had a torn effect and sponged around the edge with Tranquil Tide ink so the greeting is peeking out from the center (there is a sample in the annual catalog that did this effect and I really liked it).

To finish off the card I tied a bow using Powder Pink 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon and attached it to the cardfront.

There is really nothing I don't like about this card, the colors, patterns, and textures all really dress up the card and bring a smile to my face.  I've shown lots of different patterns and uses for the paper included in the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper, I don't know of any reason for you not to buy it, and since it's included in this months Buy 3 Get 1 Free DSP it's the perfect time to add this paper to your collection.

Fab Friday Color Challenge FabFri138: Stitched All Around

Good morning!  Today I'm playing along with the Fab Friday color challenge to show off a great new bundle in the annual catalog, it's the Stitched All Around stamp set and coordinating Stitched Labels Framelits.

I started with Powder Pink cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock as a mat for the cardfront that is Crumb Cake.  On the cardfront I stamped using the Burlap stamp set using Crumb Cake ink (and stamped off once so it was a little lighter). 

For the main stamped image I stamped the greeting in Melon Mambo ink on Whisper White cardstock and then cut it out with the Big Shot and Stitched Labels Framelits and then sponged around the edge with Powder Pink ink.

For the additional decorative elements I punched out a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock with the Starburst Punch and then embossed it with the Big Shot and Petal Pair Embossing Folder (these embossing folders are great for embossing little elements that you add to your card).  Then I took a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and cut out an oval using the Big Shot and Layering Ovals Framelits and then used one of the debossing elements from the Stitched Labels Framelits set for the fun textural element.

After attaching all the pieces to the cardfront, and I did use dimensionals for the greeting I finished off the card with a bow tied with Whisper White 1/8" Sheer Ribbon that I had colored with my Powder Pink Stampin' Write Marker.

I love how all the different shapes, textures, and colors play off each other for some fun design elements that really draw your eye to each piece.  And a great thing about this saying is that you could use it for different occasions, birthday, graduation, weddings, anything you want to celebrate so you'll get a lot of use out of it.  Also don't forget when you buy the stamp set and framelits as a bundle you save 10%!
