RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour: Best of Snow

Hello from the snowy mid-Atlantic!  It is flurrying here again, so our blog tour featuring the "Best of Snow" stamp set is perfect timing!

Best of Snow
#134387  $14.95

I just love all of the images in this set and I had fun creating these projects!  My first card is for my hubby for Christmas:

I think this little hedgehog and snowman are adorable, don't you?  I colored them with Stampin' Write Markers and Blender Pens then added a little Dazzling Diamonds to make the snow sparkle.  The greeting is from the Christmas Messages stamp set (#131790 $28.95 Wood Mount or #131793 $20.95 Clear Mount).

My second card features the brand-new stamp that comes with this set:  the "Let It Snow" stamp.

I stamped the snowflake in Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, and Crumb Cake ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla then sponged the edges to give it a vintage look.  I stamped the "Let It Snow" stamp in Always Artichoke onto Very Vanilla then punched it out with the new Bracket Label Punch (#132153, $15.95).  A little sponging and pearls give it the perfect vintage look!

My final project is a gift tag.  I used the image of Frosty (one of my all-time favorites from years ago!) and the "To:  From:" stamp from the Tags 4 You stamp set.  I stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink on Whisper White then cut with the Deco Labels Framelits.  I added a larger layer cut from Cherry Cobbler, then another larger layer cut from our Season of Style Designer Series Paper.  I wrapped some Season of Style Designer Washi Tape around the sides of our Kraft Gift Box, then added some of our Cherry Cobbler 3/4" Chevron Ribbon to complete the look.  Easy-peasy gift wrapping for this busy time of year!

I hope you enjoyed these projects and now it is time to see what Melissa Bolinger has created    http://www.stampinup.net/blog/2089191

RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour: Spread the Joy

Hello, and welcome to another RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour!  This month, I decided to use the "Spread the Joy" stamp set. 



Spread the Joy
#134781  Wood Mount  $25.95
#134784  Clear Mount  $18.95 

Spread the Joy, by Emily M. from the Stampin' Up! home office, is the first winning stamp set from In With You, our new stamp set design challenge beta program.

 

In April, Stampin' Up! employees were given the challenge to create a "bucket list" stamp set. Emily "wanted to make a set that could be versatile and usable for lots of different things." Employees fell in love with her design and voted the set to victory!

 

Stampin' Up! will be running ongoing contests and would love your participation! Join the fun at inwithyou.ideascale.com.

 

Here is the card I made with this fun stamp set:

 

 

I stamped the image in Elegant Eggplant ink, then used a Blender Pen to add inks of several colors to highlight the cute lettering.  A layer of Elegant Eggplant card stock helps it pop off of the Whisper White panel that was embossed with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I added some Crushed Curry Chevron Ribbon, White Baker's Twine, and a small Vintage Faceted Designer Button for more texture. 

I hope you enjoyed this card!  Now, it is time to see what Melissa Bolinger has created with this fun stamp set!  Just click on the link http://www.stampinup.net/blog/2089191

Have a great Sunday!  We are expecting some winter weather today here on the east coast, so I will be enjoying the blog tour with a hot cup of cocoa.  Yummy!

RemARKable Best of Christmas Blog Tour

Hello, and welcome to the RemARKable Stampers Best of Christmas Blog Tour!  I had fun creating these cards for you -- one has a vintage look and one is quick and simple.  The first card was inspired by the old fashioned image of Santa Claus.  I think this image is so traditional, and I wanted to make a card that expressed that feeling:

I stamped Santa with Early Espresso ink onto Very Vanilla card stock.  I used my Blender Pen to add color (Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive for his hat) then used a Blush Blossom marker for his face and a Blushing Bride marker for his rosy cheeks!  I cut him out with one of our Festive Flurry Framelits, then sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink.  I used Stampin' Dimensionals to layer onto two larger snowflakes, then layered the entire element onto a Very Vanilla background.  (Can you tell I love layering?? LOL)  Adding a few of our pearls finishes it off.     

A little glue from my 2-Way Glue Pen and some Dazzling Diamonds made his hat sparkle!  And, what is Christmas without a little sparkle? 

My second card is quick and easy.  I simply stamped the nativity stamp in Island Indigo ink onto Whisper White card stock.  A few sparkly stars, thanks to Dazzling Diamonds, make it shimmer.  The image really pops off of the coordinating Winter Frost Designer Series Paper. 
 

Here are all of the images you get with this set:

RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour: Festive Flurry

Hello, and welcome to the RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour!  I know you are going to love the inspiration you get from this group of amazing stampers.  So, sit back, relax, and make your way around the tour.

I chose Festive Flurry for my card this month.  I have been in a "flurry" this last week getting ready for two big events, so I thought this would be appropriate -- LOL! 

This card was quick and easy!  I used Smokey Slate, Island Indigo, and Whisper White for my color scheme.  And, our Silver Glimmer Paper gives it just the right amount of sparkle!

And, here is the inside of the card:

I used the Festive Flurry Bundle to create this project.  You can save 15% by purchasing the stamp set and the coordinating framelits in the bundle -- woohoo!  I also used the Magical Season clear mount stamp ($134777, $5.95) available as part of our Holiday Collection single stamps.  The inside greeting is from More Merry Messages (#126400 Wood Mount  $32.95 or #126402 Clear Mount $24.95).  

I hope you like this project!  Now, it is time to see what Melissa Bollinger has created this month.  I am sure it is beautiful -- she is such a talented stamper.  Just click on her link:  http://www.stampinup.net/blog/2089191

I know it has been a long time since I have posted -- I have been busy getting ready for a huge craft fair!  The craft fair was today, so things should be getting back to "normal" (or, as normal as I can possibly be -- LOL!) soon. 

But, I wanted to let you know that the RemARKable Stampers blog tour is tomorrow, November 10th, so stop back to see the beautiful creations from my fellow teammates!

Have a great evening!
