Team Blog Hop Logo

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...

#nestsofwintersuite #stampwithlisabrown

  • 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

We BEE Stamping Team Blog Hop Sharing Fall Cards

Team Blog Hop Logo

Welcome to the We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop.  This month we are all sharing fall cards so what says it better than leaves and our Changing Leaves Bundle.  I love this bundle with a hybrid 3D embossing folder with a die that you can use right in it!   This has been a popular bundle and it just came back into stock.

#changingleavesbundle #stampwithlisabrown

I ran a piece of 4 x 5-1/2 Very Vanilla card stock through the Changing Leaves 3D embossing folder and adhered to a Mossy Meadow card base. 

I then ran a piece of 6 x 6 Very Vanilla card stock through the embossing folder with the coordinating die.  This cuts out three leaves, the largest one and two others.  

I covered those leaves, using a sponge dauber, with enamel effects (copper and gold).  I put a blob of the enamel effects on my Silicone Mat and dipped my dauber into it.  Lightly rubbed over the embossed leaves to pick up the texture.  I then took the enamel effects bottle and outlined the leaves and the center vein.  See below picture for a better look.  I love how they turned out!

#changingleaves #stampwithlisabrown #creativecardcloset

I die cut some Mossy Meadow leaves and the twigs dies are actually Peach Pie Glimmer Paper.  There is so much texture to this card but I am very pleased with how it turned out.  I hope you like it too.

Changing Leaves Hybrid Bundle

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. 

Let's actually get started with a question.  What is a "Hybrid Bundle"?  This is a bundle that includes a stamp set, coordinating dies, and a coordination Hybrid 3D embossing folder.  In this case, it is the Changing Leaves 3D (so the thick kind) embossing folder.  To use, you open the embossing folder, line up your dies with folder, add your paper and when you run through your machine, it embosses and die cuts all in one shot!

For this 1st project (yes, there's 2 today), I took a quarter sheet of Very Vanilla card stock and randomly put Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive ink all over the front with my Blending Brushes.  I then used the 3D embossing folder and dies to cut out the leaves.  SAVE THAT NEGATIVE PIECE TO USE ON NEXT CARD. 

#changingleaves # stampwithlisabrown

I do have to say, I could have gone a little bit darker on my colors but I still love how this turned out. 

Project 2:  I used that quarter sheet of Very Vanilla (the negative piece) from above, and used as a stencil.  Again, using my Blending Brushes and same ink colors, I blending colors onto a piece of Basic White card stock.  Then I ran through the Changing Leaves Hybrid 3D embossing folder. 

#changingleavesembossing #stampwithlisabrown

This look is so cool!  Use other 3D embossing folders to get different looks.

Underrated Stampin' Up! Item You Need

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 want to point out what I consider one of the most underrated Stampin' Up! items you need... the Piercing Mat.  Do you want to know why?  Well, let me just show you. 

#changingleaves #stampwithlisabrown

I don't think I have to ask "do you see it"?  But just incase, do you see the leaf petal with the white splotch on it?  Well, that is where I did not get a good ink impression while stamping.  And had I put my card stock on top of my Piercing Mat, that most likely would not have happened.  For a $5.00 investment, for an item that you can use for years, I think it is well worth the cost.  For me its worth to reduce my frustration, LOL!

Stampin' Pierce Mat (126199)

For this card, I used the Changing Leaves Bundle (which is awesome as it comes with stamps, dies and a hybrid 3D embossing folder), Thoughtful Journey 6x6" DSP, and the 2024-2026 Shimmer Paper.  All items are linked below.  

Notice all the "dots" on my card?  These are not gemstone embellishments, they are dots of Metallic Enamel Effects in gold.  The metallic pack is a pack of three colors, gold, copper and silver.   We have a Pearlized pack too, and that pack of three are real red, white and black.  You should really check these out. 

Thanks for stopping by, Happy Stamping and again, link to products used are below:
