Welcome to this month's Team blog hop.  

I am featuring the Nest of Winter Suite Collection, which has some great dies.  And the gems are so shimmery.  A fan favorite!

My card is a Tri-Fold opening featuring the  Nests of Winter 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper from the suite. 

Here is the inside...

• I cut a piece of DSP to 5-1/4 x 12 and scored it at 4" and 8".  Watch the direction of the patterns.
• Adhere above to a pieces of Early Espresso that is 4-1/4 x 5-1/2.  The center section of the DSP is adhered to the Early Espresso CS. 
• Each inside panel has a piece of 3-3/4 x 5 Basic White card stock adhered to them.
• The left panel is the pine die cut.  Cut Early Espresso CS to 3-1/2 x 4-3/4.  Stamp and color bird before adhering the pine frame.
• The right panel label is white cs measuring 1-1/4 x 2-3/4 and matted with Pretty Peacock CS
• The card front label is 1 x 1-3/4 matted with Early Espresso CS

I am happy with how this card turned out, but I did forget to use the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder.  I guess there is another project on the horizon to include that.  

Now let's buzzzz on over to see what Karen Burke has to share

Hello - and welcome to my blog, Creative Card Closet.  My name is Lisa Brown and I'm an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I love to share ideas and projects with you so lets get started. 

Today I am sharing 5 more card projects inspired by the Card Sketches found on page 22 of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.  I am so excited for these sketches and hope you are too. 

You can click on the below image for a larger view.  I have numbered the sketches that I used for below projects:  #8, #9, #10, #11 and #15

All cards are made with products from the Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection.   This collection is truly a collection!  2 stamp sets, 2 dies sets, 12x12 foiled specialty paper pack, 12x12 vellum paper pack, ribbon and embellishments.  I did use a few other embellishments and ribbon, but you can use just what came in the collection.  Oh yeah, some gold foil paper as well.   Let's take a look at the five projects. 

Sketches 8 and 9

Hello ~ and welcome to my blog, Creative Card Closet.  My name is Lisa Brown and I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I love sharing projects and ideas with you, so let's get started. 

Today I'm sharing an amazing suite collection and TWO projects I created with it.  I love the jewel color tones of the designer paper, it is so lovely.  And so are the Regal Foil dots... I promise you will love them and the gold flecks in them.  The Suite Collection is call Regal Winter (click on link to see the suite). 

I created my first card, and have some left over pieces the, what I will call, the label die so I then created a second project.  

Card 1:  Blackberry Bliss

My picture certainly does not do Blackberry Bliss any justice but I do love this card.  Some quick dimensions for you:

• White mat:   3-1/4 x 5-1/4
• White strip:  3/4 x 3-1/4
• Designer Paper:  2 pieces are 1-1/2 x 2 and 2 pieces are 1-1/2 x 3

I cut the label in White and Gold Foil card stock.  When I did this, I saved the white inside and gold outside pieces to make another card...

Card 2:  Night of Navy

The Regal Winter DSP is cut to 4 x 5-1/4" and mounted on Thick White card stock base.  I stamped the white label piece in Pretty Peacock and Night of Navy.  I love the simplicity of this one.  I could have dressed up a little with the Regal Foiled dots for some bling. 

So don't throw those scraps or extra pieces out!  Make a different project with them.  Happy Stamping!

Hello ~ and welcome to my blog, Creative Card Closet.  My name is Lisa Brown and I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I love sharing projects and ideas with you, so let's get started. 

Today I am sharing a card made with a stamp and die bundle called "Sophisticated Sled".   This bundle is an Online Exclusive meaning it will not show in any catalog publication. 

I like it as it offers some variety, especially how you can create the sled.  For this card, I simply stamped the sled and used the framelit die to cut out.  I will be sharing another project showing how to creating the sled with die cuts so stay tuned for that.  

So same, you can simply stamp the ice skates, color and die cut with framelit die but in my project, I die cut the boots, laces and blades and glued them together!  So cool.  Let's take a look. 

My colors are Gray Granite and Petal Pink.  I chose those because they coordinate with Designer Series Paper called Country Woods.   This is a great 12 x 12 paper pack you should check especially, until August 31, 2024... It's On Sale!  All our DSP in the Annual Catalog is 15%.  

There are two layers of greenery done in Old Olive and Granny Apple Green.  

I added a Linen Thread Bow that has 4 loops for some bulk.

My favorite more subtle detail.... The clear embellishments!  These are a must see in-person or go to my shop:  Pecan Pie & Clear Adhesive-Backed Dots.  Here's a close up:

These are my Favorite Product Pick of the week.

I hoped liked my project today.  Below is a full list of the products I used to make this card.

Welcome to this month's Team Blog Hop and thank you for joining us as we head into the busiest time of the year.  Hope your holidays are magical. 

Just a reminder the Last Chance Product list and sale started today.  CLICK HERE to check out all the great items. 

My project today features the Window Wishes Bundle and the fabulous Snowflake 12 x 12 Specialty Vellum!

For the bag:

• 2 pieces of specialty vellum cut at a 10" square
• Score 3 sides at 2-1/2" and the last side at 1-1/4"
• Fold each scored line and give it a good crease using a bone folder.  It will really help with the vellum
• Holding the scored vellum in front of you:
  
  • fold the 1-1/4 line toward you and glue down (makes the top flap)
  • snip off the bottom left and bottom right squares leaving the middle flap 
  • all the 2-1/2 scored lines get folded back
  • do this to both 10" squares
• Adhere the two 10" pieces together.  Side flaps first an then the bottom. 

Here a side angle picture.

The window/candles/wreath are all made with the Window Wishes Bundle.  

A couple of tips: 

• Use a  Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker to add dots of berries to the wreath. 
• I cut the two window dies with Basic White card stock but then also cut the inner die again with Basic Black cardstock. 
• I inserted the black negative pieces to give a solid background.  

Another Tip:  when making the bag and using vellum, the 1-1/4" top flap will show the dull side of the vellum.  I took left over strips of the specialty vellum paper and adhered to the four flap sides.  I used 2 pieces of 1-1/8" x 2-3/8" and 2 pieces of 1-1/8" x 4-7/8".  Colored card stock would also look nice. 

Because the vellum is a thicker material, it does not show the Stampin' Seal+ adhesive used to hold the bag together!

I hope you like my project now.... 

Continue to hop with our team and Buzzzz on over to see what Mary Ann Rossiter has to share!

Don't forget, you can Buzzzz on back to see Linda Bauwin's project again.
