Winter Woods Christmas Card - How Did They Make That Episode 2

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share another episode of How Did They Make That!  This week I am sharing how the Stampin' Up! Concept Artists created the great little Holiday Thinking of you Card featuring the Winter Woods Stamp Set on page 61 of the Stampin' Up! 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.  Here's a look at the card that I am sharing.  


Here's a look at the inspiration card by the Stampin' Up! Concept Artists on page 61.

Tips & Tricks: 

This card was actually a lot easier than I had thought it would be.  After figuring out all the sizes and dimensions of the card (which I will give you as we go along and again at the bottom) it was super easy.  I started off with a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of Old Olive Cardstock (they used a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece).  This was the only change that I made to the card.  Next you will need a 3" x 5 1/2" piece of Old Olive Cardstock, a Stamparatus (or other stamp positioning tool), Old Olive Ink.  The Stamparatus works great for this card because we are going to do the hinge technique to get the center panel.  If you are not sure what I am talking about you will after you watch the video below.  


Using the hinge technique with our Stamparatus and 3" x 5 1/2" piece of Old Olive Cardstock we are going to take the birch tree image and place on the cardstock the way you want it and close the top plate.  Ink up the Cling Stamp in Old Olive Ink and close the door.  Lift up and move down one notch in your Stamparatus and repeat.  You will repeat this step all the way down to the bottom of the 3" x 5 1/2" piece of Old Olive Cardstock.  Once complete attach to the center of your Old Olive card base with Stampin' Seal.  Next you will need one of the fabulous gold floral pieces from the Feels Like Gold Laser Cut Speciality Paper and attach to the center with Stampin' Seal.  

 
Add a little Stampin' Seal to the center of the gold piece and place your ribbon.  Take a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and the sentiment and ink it up in Real Red Ink and stamp it.  Take a 2" Circle Punch and punch it out and add to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Now stamp four - six Pine Boughs in Old Olive and two in Garden Green Inks.  On a scrap of Soft Suede Cardstock stamp two or three pinecones in Soft Suede Ink.  Use the matching In the Woods Dies and cut out all these pieces.  Use a combination of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin' Dimensionals to attch these pieces to the circle and tuck some underneath.  


The finishing touch to this card is to take your Take Your Pick Tool and place Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the Gold Foil Floral piece where the berries are.  This adds a show stopper touch the the card and a ton more bling then just the Gold piece alone.

Be A Unicorn - Hippo Happiness Video Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I have a super cute card for you using the Hippo Happiness Bundle and it's another version of one of the cards you can make using my 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder cards that I made yesterday.  If you missed that post you can click here and check it out. The Hippo Happiness bundle is a fun little bundle to play with and allows you to create so many different fun little cards for any occasion or person no matter their age.  Here's a look at my card.  

Tips & Tricks: 

I made two different versions of this card using the same design.  I just changed up the paper from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper.  And I have two different looking easy cards that were made in just minutes.  Again this is another card that you could make instead of one of the 3" x 4" cards I made yesterday.  If you wanted to make three completely different cards from one sheet of 6" x 6" piece of Designer Series Paper.  This card uses the same supplies just cut in a different way.  

 
One thing to remember when you are using the same size strips of Designer Series Paper to make a card.  You have to start from the ground up just like building a house.  You have to have your foundation set before you can move on to the walls and roof.  I started by taking one of my strips and placing it where I wanted it at on the bottom of the mat.  I found that the Multipurpose Liquid Glue worked great for this because I had a little more wiggle room to get everything lined up just right.  

 
Once I had the three strips of Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper lined up on my mat I then could wrap about 14" or so of the Magenta Madness 2020-2022 In Color Ribbon around this layer and tie it into a flat knot.  Then I could place Stampin' Dimensionals behind it and place it on my Thick Whisper White card base.  Which by the way I still cut at 4 1/4" x 11" and scored it at 5 1/2", but I turned it on it's side to make a side folding card.  


To save time in the video I had already took a piece of Whisper White cardstock (about 3 1/2" x 3 1/2") and precut it with one of the dies from the Hippo & Friends Dies.  This samed me a little time in the video but you could totally stamp first then die cut if you wanted to.  To get the two different shades of Magenta Madness Ink I just inked up the first layering stamp for the horse and stamped off onto a scrap piece of paper.  Next I took the second horse image and stamped it full strength lining the images up and stamped it down.  Then I added her little face with Tuxedo Black ink (every little horse or unicorn needs a face).  Then I added the horn with So Saffron Ink.  I then stamped the "when in doubt be a unicorn" sentiment in Magenta Madness Ink at the top of the die cut.  


I then added my cute little unicorn to the front of my card with a couple Stampin' Dimensionals so that it was popped up not only on the card but over the ribbon as well.  To finish off my card I added three of the stars from the All The Trimmings Embellishments from the August-December Mini Catalog.  These little embellishments can be used for so much more than just the holidays.  So, don't count them out, for your everyday crafting needs, they are perfect for that little special embellishment.  


The Hippo Happiness Bundle includes the Hippo Happiness Stamp Set and the Hippo & Friends Dies.  The Hippo Happiness Stamp Set allows you to make greeting cards, tags, and more with the darling critters.  The stamp set helped designed and inspired by my friend Robin Cardin (My Pink Stamper) for her 1 Million Dollar sales achievement contains 27 photopolymer stamps.  The matching Hippo & Friends Dies helps you create custom die-cut elements like frames, animals, and more for your projects. Pair the dies with the coordinating Hippo Happiness Stamp Set for more creative options. The Hippo & Friends Dies contain 25 dies with the largest die measuring  3-1/2" x 3-1/2" (8.9 x 8.9 cm).
