RemARKable Stamp of the Month Blog Tour!

Hello! It is the second Sunday of the month, so it's time for another fabulous RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour! This month we are featuring projects made with two products from the Holiday Mini Catalog: Harvest of Thanks and Christmas Collectibles.

Harvest of Thanks
#131736 Wood Mount $20.95
#131739 Clear Mount $15.95

My first creation uses this stamp set along with the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper.

I stamped the main image in Cajun Craze ink onto Very Vanilla card stock. I sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink to make it look "vintage." The base of the card is Chocolate Chip with a layer of Cajun Craze, then the layer of Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper. I used the 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon, Linen Thread, and Antique Brads to embellish this card. Perfect for Autumn!

I used the Christmas Collectibles Bundle for my other two projects. You can save 15% when you buy the Christmas Collectibles stamp set and the Christmas Ornament Punch together.

#133282 Wood Mount $31.95
#133283 Clear Mount $27.95

Here is my first project:

I used Cherry Cobbler card stock for the base of the card, then added a layer of Early Espresso that I embossed twice with the Stylish Stripes embossing folder. Embossing twice gives lets you get a "plaid" look to your card stock. This is a great idea that one of my customers suggested -- isn't it cute? I stamped each ornament twice then cut the center section out and layered it on top of the punched ornaments. Cherry Cobbler twine makes cute bows and ornament hangers, too. The sentiment is from the Joy to the World Stamp set.

#131796 Wood Mount $21.95
#131799 Clear Mount $16.95

The final project for today is very, very sparkly. I'm not sure my photos are able to show how sparkly this card is!

I used the Circle Card Thinlits Die to cut the base of this card in Smoky Slate card stock. I added sparkle with our Silver Glimmer Paper and the striped paper in the Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper. What do you think?

Here is a close-up of the ornament:

I stamped 4 ornaments, punched them out with the Christmas Ornament Punch, then folded them in half lengthwise. I used our Tombow Liquid Adhesive to glue them together, then adhered them to the Silver Glimmer Paper snowflake die cut with Stampin' Dimensionals. It was so much fun to make this card!

Well, that's all for me. Now, it is time to see what Melissa Bollinger has created. I know it will be Remarkable! Just click on the graphic below, or go to http://www.stampinup.net/blog/2089191.
