Hello and welcome to my blog and Day 3 of my 25 Days of Christmas (Holiday Card Series for 2019). I am going to share with you another card an video for this years Holiday Card Series and today's card is also a Simple Stamping Card as well. With the 25 Days of Christmas Series I have new Christmas/Holiday projects coming out every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday until December 21, 2019. For today's card I used the stamp set Tiny Keepsake and created a Clean and Simple Christmas Card for you today. Here's a look at my card.
As I mentioned above this card was also designed for the beginner in mind. It only uses stamps, ink , paper, and a embellishment. Today I chose to use the Red Rhinestones from the Annual Catalog as the embellishment on my card. I thought that the simplicity of the card didn't need a lot of extra stuff. I wanted to use the Tiny Keepsake stamp set from the Holiday Catalog but in a different way than what it was designed for. This stamp set was designed to decorate the Tiny Curvy Keepsake box. But, I used one of the design images as the focal image of my card today. I just adore the simple striped image; it reminds me of candy canes and I thought it was perfect for a clean and simple one layer card.
I stamped the stripped image in the center of my thick Whisper White Card base in Real Red ink. I thought that this was a perfect attention grabber for a clean and simple card design. It still reads Christmas without being overpowering. This design is perfect for mass production and a new stamper at the same time. Because you can set it up in the Stamparatus and stamp all the card bases at one time or use a clear block and do the same.
Once I had the center stamped I stamped one of the greetings from the stamp set on the outside in Old Olive ink. I did add a inside sentiment with the Host Set Greatest Part of Christmas (which is one of my favorite Christmas sentiments sets ever). I love the mix of inside and outside sentiments in this set and it has all kids of different fonts that I am sure you will find something to work on your cards.
As I mentioned before once I had the outside and inside finished I just added a few of the red rhinestones to embellish the card.

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card that I designed using the Above the Clouds Bundle form the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. As you may know my current online class features the Above the Clouds bundle. You can find details on that here. This is a great companion card for that class. Here's a look at my card.
I stamped the hot air balloons from the Above the Clouds Stamp Set in Night of Navy and Granny Apple green and then punched them out using the matching Hot Air Balloon Punch. You can get both the punch and the stamp set as a Cost Saving Bundle and you save 10% when you do so. I then used a piece of the 2019-2021 In Color Designer Series Paper in Pretty Peacock as my background piece. And, then matted it with a piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock. All that was put on a Pretty Peacock Top folding Card base measuring 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/5 (A4 metric 10.5 cm x 29.7 cm scored in half). I added a piece of whisper white on the inside with a little piece of matching designer series paper.
I then stamped my sentiment on a piece of scrap whisper white and angled the end on one side. I stamped it in Granny Apple Green ink to match the rest of the card. To add a little extra dimension I added a few Stampin' dimensionals behind it.
That finishes my card for today, I hope that you have a wonderful fourth of July if you are in the States, and a wonderful day if you are international. Remember to stay safe and keep your eyes in the sky you just may see one of these fun Hot air balloons soaring over head.
Happy Stampin'

Hello and welcome again to my blog; my second post today is for Kylie's International Blog Highlights. There are projects from all over the world that have been submitted. You can vote for my card here. If I am one of the top 10 winners I get to take part in her International blog hop again this month. For my card I used the It Starts with Art Stamp set to create this super fun clean and simple Encouragement card. Here's a look at my card.
Tips & Tricks:
I started out by picking one of the images I thought was under used. I went with the Paper Clip/Binder clip image and stamped it using my Stamparatus with the hinge step technique. I stamped five of them on a strip of whisper white cardstock (1 1/2 x 5 1/4) so that I could use my Many Marvelous Markers to color them in. Also lately a little under used. I colored each one in matching colors in the designer series paper. I used Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Coastal Cabana, and Pacific Point plus a little Basic Gray for the metal. Since I was stamping them on such a small piece of paper and the images where so small I really didn't need to blend them. I added that to a piece of Coastal Cabana Cardstock (1 3/4 x 5 1/4).
My card base was a piece of Pacific Point cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. To the front of the card base I added a piece of the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper cut at 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped my sentiment at the bottom right corner. Above that I added my colored paper clips mounted on the coastal cabana cardstock with Stampin' Dimensionals. You can see how using the Stamparatus to stamp them I have perfect placement and spacing.
To finish off my card I added a few rhinestones to add just the right amount of sparkle. That's my card for today. If you are in the United States please consider shopping with me online. You will find a full shopping list below. Remember to also vote for my card during the voting period and visit the link above and check out all the great projects that were created.
