Welcome to this month's blog hop.  We are talking about our favorite bundle (stamps & dies or stamps & punch) from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog.   

So what is my favorite bundle?  Well, it is the Dainty Delight Bundle.  The pretty wildflower stamps and fabulous dies are right up my alley.  And to make this even better, Stampin' Up! has created a beautiful pack of 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper called Dainty Flowers.  You can earn this pack of paper for Free during Sale-a-Bration (ends February 28, 2023) by placing a qualifying order me. 

My first project I created with the Dainty Delight Bundle, includes the new background stamp called Hand Drawn Dots and my favorite paper bling, the Fine Shimmer 12" x 12" specialty paper:

My second project highlights the free Dainty Flowers DSP that you can earn during Sale-a-Bration: 

I hope you like these projects today and thanks for stopping by. 

NOTE:  The Dainty Delight Bundle must be everyone's favorite.  Look for it to be back into stock March 29, 2023!

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....

Welcome to this month's team blog hop featuring Slimline Cards.  These have been a wildly popular card, cut to a different size... slim and long, fitting into a business size envelope.  My card features the Sweet Gingerbread Bundle from the fall/holiday catalog.  

Card Details:

• Card Base is Mint Macaron CS cut 8 x 9-1/4 and scored at 4" on the 8" side
• Basic White CS layer is 4 x 9
• Basic White 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 (quarter sheet for houses, roofs, and wreaths)
• White Glimmer paper 4 x 6
• Crumb Cake CS 1 x 6 for fence and pebble stones
• Old Olive CS 4 x 5 to die cut 8 trees

With the wavy die, cut the White Glimmer paper into 3 sections.  Make the bottom the longest.  When cutting the other two pieces, shift the wavy die so they will be different when layering them onto the Basic White layer.  

On the quarter sheet of white, stamp 2 houses in Crumb Cake ink (stamp off on scrap paper first for the houses).  Also in Crumb Cake is the door, windows and door outline, and the scallop roof.  Using Real Red and Old Olive markers, color and stamp two wreaths.  Stamp the windows in So Saffron. Die cut all pieces, adhering the scallop roof and wreath to each house.

Assembly all pieces, tucking the top house and some of the trees behind the snow drifts. 

Add a rhinestone to the doors for knobs. 

Stamp the bubble stamp (I used the reverse side of the side) in Mint Macaron ink, stamping off first.  Then stamped the words in same color, not stamped off.

Thank you for joining us for this month's Team Blog Hop!

I think I say this each year... Fall is my favorite season!  The fresh, crisp air and beautiful colors.  Funny, even though it means plants, flowers, and trees are losing their foliage and dying out for the year, it is more rejuvenating to me than spring. 

I'm excited to share my fall project with you, which is a creative fold card, featuring the Hello Harvest Bundle and Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper.
