IDEAS Blog Hop: We Are Cut Out to be Friends!

 

Our December theme is, "We Are Cut Out to be Friends!" We are focusing on "cutting" this month; This is anything you cut out, such as cutting with dies, punches, or even fussy cutting.

Here are some snippets of the projects you will see in the bundle:

This bundle includes projects from 13 demos from all over the world. It has over 50 pages, and tutorials for 19 projects. There is definitely something for everyone. 

My projects are exclusive to the bundle. But, I have made an alternate card using some of the same products and the same bundle, Merriest Trees. Consider it a bonus project!

It is a mini slim line card and fits in a standard letter size envelope. The sentiment is from the Sending Smiles stamp set. 

Are you intrigued and would like to see the entire bundle? You can own this bundle and use the projects for your personal use or even in your classes! There are three options to acquire our IDEAS tutorial bundle:

Inspire Create Share Blog Hop: All About Christmas

 

Hello friends!! It is a great time for Blog Hops, cuz we all need Christmas inspiration, right?!  Well, to help you out, the Inspire Create Share team is All About Christmas this month! 

I love this Fragrant Forest Background Stamp, but...I don't think it belongs in the background at all! I like it front and center, so all can see and enjoy it!

What do you think about it?!

I couldn't find any Christmas paper to coordinate with it. So, I turned to non Christmas Designer Series Paper and found a beautiful plaid in the Let's Go Fishing papers. I think it goes perfectly! Don't limit yourself to only using Christmas stuff, even on your Christmas cards. 

Hope you like my card. I would love a comment, if you do! Let's go see what Christmas inspiration Tricia has to share with us!

PPP Blog Hop: Peaceful Christmas

 

Welcome to the monthly Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. We love Paper Pumpkin and love to share our enthusiasm for this monthly box of fun and creativity with you. The Paper Pumpkin kit is designed so you can follow the instructions provided in the kit to make the projects, or use the supplies as a starting point to let your creativity run wild (as we have!) 

Hop along with us, as we will share alternate ideas on how we used the October Paper Pumpkin Kit: Peaceful Christmas.

 

This month's kit made 10 cards, 5 each of 2 designs. And check out the fun envelopes!! Here are the cards as designed:

You know I love making boxes out of the card bases. This month's green card base was perfect for that. So, instead of making the card, I turned it into a box. 

I, also, made an alternate card using the kit contents, and added just a white card base. The vellum tree negative part works perfect for a alternative to the trees themselves!!

Makes a perfect gift set for the upcoming holidays!

I hope you like my alternate projects...but you aren't done!!! Hop on over to Janey's blog to see what she has done with this fabulous kit!! Then, keep on hopping to see what the others have done!

We all love to see lots of presents under the tree on Christmas morning....so you won't want to miss the November kit...Gifts Galore!

With classic Christmas sentiments, bright and festive colors, a sweet snowman, a tree with all the trimmings, or a playful pile of presents, you’ll have everything you need to make eye-catching treat packages that are sure to spread Christmas cheer. Each Gifts Galore box contains enough supplies to create nine treat packages—three each of three designs—and nine food-safe bags that are adorably styled for easy Christmas gifting. There’s plenty of joy to share with Gifts Galore!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop - Winter Gifts

Welcome to the monthly Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. We love Paper Pumpkin and love to share our enthusiasm for this monthly box of fun and creativity with you. The Paper Pumpkin kit is designed so you can follow the instructions provided in the kit to make the projects, or use the supplies as a starting point to let your creativity run wild (as we have!) Hop along with us, as we will share alternate ideas on how we used the November Paper Pumpkin Kit: Winter Gifts.

This month's kit was includes the materials to make 24 (6 of 4 different ones) tags! Made as designed, they are sure to make your enhance the beauty of your gifts.

However, for those of you who like cards... they can be made into cards as well. 

I used several kit elements and made this card. I even used the blue tissue paper, that the kit parts are wrapped in, for the faux silk technique. 

I cut a piece of tissue just a little larger than my card stock layer. Using my Stampin' Write Markers in Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler, I colored directly on the holly stamp. I spritzed it with water, and then stamped it on the tissue. I repeated this process until I had the tissue covered the way I wanted it. I used a glue stick and lightly covered the front of a piece of Whisper White card stock. Then, I wrinkled the tissue paper up in a ball, gently straightened it back out, leaving some wrinkles in it, and added it to the white card stock. Add it to the card base. 

Using a sponge dauber, I went over the Real Red cardinal with Cherry Cobbler ink, stamped my sentiment in Spruce ink on one of the tags, and attached them both to the Pool Party tag piece. I layered this over the stamped tissue piece, then added some sequins to complete my card. 

We are so thankful you take the time to hop with us!  Click on the pumpkin below and hop on over to Tricia's blog to see what fun alternate project she has come up with to share with you!

Leave us comments, along the way, and let us know what you think of our projects. 

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Until next time...Happy Craftin'!
