Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Winter Woods

Hello and welcome to the October 2019 Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!  This month we are showcasing alternate ideas using the October 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit "Winter Woods".  This kit makes cards, and since this is the time of year I need all of the Christmas cards I can get, I decided to stick with cards, but then I had to add bookmarks too!

 Here's the card designed by Stampin' Up!:

Here are my alternative cards (and bookmarks) surrounding the original in the middle of the picture:

I think this one is my favorite. I used the In The Woods dies from the 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! Annual catalog. I love how Paper Pumpkin can coordinate with annual catalog products!

Thanks for checking out my alternate cards!  Now it's time to check out Lisa's alternatives!

If you don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator (or I am already your demonstrator) and would like to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin, please visit my Paper Pumpkin link here to sign up:  https://www.paperpumpkin.com/en-us/sign-up/?demoid=2089211

The November 2019 kit coordinates with this kit.   Contact me for details!

ICS Blog Hop Half Full

Hello and welcome to the December ICS Blog Hop!  This month our theme is a December to Remember, and we are showcasing cards or giftables.  For my projects, I chose both!

I wanted to make something with the Half Full stamp set (from the Stampin' Up! 2017 Holiday Catalog) and I instantly knew wine tags would be part of the gift.  

The wine tags needed some pretty packaging, and in came the criss-cross box (I got this project idea from Wendy Cranford on YouTube here):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpJ2gDx0Dcw

And, since we are nearing 2018, a calendar also had to make the list.   I chose the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack to make it more rustic.

Here are all 3 projects together (now I just need to get a bottle of wine to go with):

Projects Recipes (I have added them all at once):

Real Red Old Olive, Whisper White and Whisper White Thick Cardstock

Real Red Ink Pad

Cherry Cobbler Dark and Smoky Slate Light Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers

Glitter Enamel Dot (Old Olive)

Half Full Stamp Set

Wink of Stella Glitter Brush in Clear

Stampin' Dimensionals

Be Merry Designer Series Paper

Old Olive Baker's Twine

Lots of Labels Framelits

Stitched Shapes Framelits

Layered Oval Framelits

Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack

3" x 6" Gusseted Cellophane Bags

Gold Library Clips

Wink of Stella Glitter Brush in Clear

Other:  Square Coasters (Amazon) and Mini Tear-off Calendars (Taylored Expressions).

Thanks for stopping by my blog today and next up in the hop is Candy Ford.  I am sure she's got something beautiful in store for us!

Have a fantastic day!

ICS Blog Hop Knotty Ways

Hello and welcome to the August 2017 ICS Blog Hop Knotty Ways!  This month we are highlighting ribbon from the 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog and highlighting Christmas.  With temps to reach in the triple digits this week where I live, I welcome thinking of a cooler time of year, if only for this hop.

There is a great special going on this month to get all of us in the mood to start early on our Christmas projects so we thought we'd provide you with some inspiration using ribbon for Christmas projects! Enjoy the hop and you can read all about the special at the end of this post.

I don't have a lot of the ribbon from the new catalog (yet), so I chose to use some Basic Black Baker's Twine on my Christmas card, which highlights the new Carols of Christmas bundle, available as a pre-release this month (August 2017), and also in the upcoming 2017 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.

Card Recipe:

Dapper Denim and Whisper White Cardstock

Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper

Window Sheets

Silver Glimmer Paper

Dapper Denim Ink Pad

Carols of Christmas Stamp Set 

Card Front Builder Thinlits

Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Foam Adhesive Strips

Basic Black Baker's Twine

Seasonal Layers Thinlits (snowflake)
Island Indigo Reinker
Other:  Silica Beads (dyed using the reinker and a container)

During the month of August, customers will have early access to one of our top-trending bundles from the upcoming holiday catalog!  Contact me or visit me at http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/territakashige/ for details about the Carols of Christmas Bundle! 

Thanks for stopping by on the hop today!  Now it's time to check out what beautiful project Anna has in store for us.

Happy Hopping and Happy (early) Holidays!

Hugs,

Terri

ICS Blog Hop Christmas Stockings

Hello!

It's time for our monthly Inspire, Create and Share blog hop! This month our theme is "I am Dreaming of a White Christmas" and we're showcasing ideas using white on white! We hope you enjoy this beautiful hop and will become inspired to give the white on white look a try!

I used the Hang Your Stocking Stamp Set and Christmas Stockings Thinlits dies.  I don't know why I waited to get this combo.  I love making the stockings and the thinlits make it so easy to cut them out perfect. 

I wanted some bling on this card, so I backed the white stockings with red glimmer paper and also added a red bow. 

Along with the bundle, I used the following Stampin' Up! products:

Whisper White Thick Cardstock
Whisper White Cardstock

Red Glimmer Paper

Real Red Ink Pad

Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Big Shot

Stampin' Dimensionals

I hope you enjoy my white on white project and all of the rest of the beautiful creations on this hop.  Please check out Joni Metra's blog for her awesome creation!

Have a wonderful Holiday Season and thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
Terri

CYCI#99 Color Challenge

Hey friends!

This week at www.canyoucaseit.com it's all about color!



I love mostly traditional Christmas colors, but really any color combination can be fun.  I chose to go with the traditional red, white and green for this card:

 I first saw this cute reindeer on Dena Rekow's Youtube channel here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7c_YFzxJfE


I just knew I had to CASE her reindeer and so I made a bunch of them to use on cards. I think I made about 40 and used mostly paper scraps for the punch art.  My desk was a mess!

I used the following Stampin' Up! products:

Real Red, Whisper White, Crumb Cake and Chocolate Chip Cardstock
Real Red Glimmer Paper
Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum
Garden Green Ink Pad
Lighthearted Leaves Stamp Set
Tree Builder Punch
Owl Builder Punch
Star Punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack

I used the following Stampin' Up! products:
