How about a Two-For?

Today is my last day of projects using the Sweet Candy Canes bundle.  I've had fun creating and sharing these cards, and I hope you have enjoyed them.  And just FYI, I'm not done using this set.  I have even more cards and will be sharing them over the next several weeks.

But for today, how about a "two-for"?  I've got two cards using the same lay-out with subtle differences:


 And here they are!  Both cards started with a piece of Real Red cardstock, cut to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4" and 7-1/4".  That last 1-1/4" will be folded back over the front of the card, giving us a small fun-fold.

Now each card is ready for it's close-up:


I first made this, focusing on red--the red-dotted DSP, the candy cane DSP in red and featuring two Real Red candy canes on the front.  


The candy canes are resting on a Stitched Rectangle on top of a slim Garden Green layer, and tied up with a Green ribbon.  And I included some mistletoe under the greeting.

Then there is this:


Nearly identical, but this time with more green - red and green candy cane DSP, and red and green candy canes, tied up with Linen Thread and a Flat Jingle Bell trinket.  The subtle difference is the Tailor Made Tag they are presented on.

Between the stamps, the dies and the DSP, there are nearly endless options to make your cards special!

Sweet Candy Canes?

 That's a question, because you won't see candy canes on this card.   Welcome to my Day 4 of Merry Mondays featuring the Sweet Candy Canes stamps and Candy Canes dies.  I'm highlighting this bundle all week to show you the versatility of this cute set. 

But today, no candy canes.  I did, however, use one of the greetings from the stamp set, along with several patterns of the designer paper, Sweetest Christmas:


And I think it's one of my favs this week!


Look at that cute ornament - it's actually a 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Window sheet, to which I adhered strips of the designer paper cut in random widths.  Once done, I cut it with the largest Layering Circle die.  


But I needed an ornament "topper", and I found that one of the little flower pots from the Perfect Plants dies fit the bill perfectly!  It's cut from Gold Foil sheets, and is mounted on a Dimensional with a short piece of gold cord from the Simply Elegant Trim pack.  

This is all adhered to a piece of Basic White cardstock embossed with the Merry Melody embossing folder.


Isn't this just the most wonderful card of the week?  😁

I'd love to be your Stampin' UP! demonstrator.  If you'd like to order any of the products shown, please head to this site to place your order.  And thank you!

A Special Season

 Welcome back to Day 3 of my Week of Merry Mondays using Sweet Candy Canes stamps and the Candy Canes dies.  In case you haven't guessed, this is one of my favorite new stamp sets, and it's helping me get into the Christmas card-making season!  

How about a cool and calm card?  Take a look:


Sophisticated and pretty, right?  L.O.V.E.

I started with a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock and used the Stitched Rectangle dies to cut a frame in the center.  Then the piece (minus the center) was embossed with the Fern embossing folder.   This is truly a beautiful folder, with deep embossing in a fern pattern.  


On to the Shaded Spruce center - I now took a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Shaded Spruce and used a smaller Stitched Rectangle die to cut out the center.  Then I adhered it to the white embossed piece (on the back), centering the opening.

Then for the slightly tricky part - laying the frame on the Thick Basic White card base (but not gluing it together yet) I stamped the greeting inside the frame.  Once done, the frame was popped up with Dimensionals.


A Shaded Spruce candy cane tied up with bakers twine and a Flat Jingle Bell Trinket completed this card.  


So elegant!  

Are you liking what you see?  I've still got more samples so c'mon back tomorrow!
