Mornin’, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Happy Stampers Blog Hop. This is color week, with a great Christmas-y color combination. We’re down a hopper this week – Kristi Gray is away on vacation with her family! But the rest of us pulled on our creative thinking caps to make y’all some great projects, so be sure to check out all our offerings!
Here’s the color combination we’re all working with:
I called on the Global Design Project challenge this week to help me out with the design of my card!
I used the wonderful stamp set called Wonderful Year, and some Warmth & Cheer DSP Stack paper. Take a look-see:
You can tell just by looking at my card that it was super quick and easy to put together, so hang on – this is gonna go quick!
I started with a piece of the Warmth & Cheer DSP Stack paper – I just love this paper! I ran it thru my Big Shot in the Cable Knit Dynamic TIEF. It’s hard to see in the pictures, and not a lot of it is visible, but it adds just a smidge of texture that you’re very aware of when you hold the card!
I SNAILd the embossed panel to a Garden Green mat. The next layer is another – Garden Green – design from Warmth & Cheer, matted on Garden Green and SNAILd to the card front.
Next up is the sentiment panel. I used the Wonderful Year stamp and colored it with my Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green Stampin’ Write Markers. Using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, I stamped the image onto a Whisper White panel, SNAILd it to a Garden Green mat and popped it over the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals
For a little finishing touch, I tied a bow from Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twines. Using a Glue Dot, I first attached a Christmas Trinket Embellishment and then, with a second Glue Dot, added the bow. And that was it for the card front! 🙂
On the inside, I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig again and stamped a second Wonderful Year sentiment in Cherry Cobbler on a piece of Whisper White card stock. Then I added a few little images in Garden Green across the bottom. I finished it off with some Garden Green Enamel Shapes.
I SNAILd the panel to a Garden Green mat and then into a Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done!
For my Whisper White Medium Envelope, I added more Wonderful Year images across the front in Garden Green…
…and added a little more of the Warmth & Cheer DSP to the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Easy peasy, nice and breezy. The Wonderful Year images are big and bold and they “carry” a card all on their own – making them ideal for making quick work of Christmas card making! Sheesh – I used “making” three times in that sentence – sorry! 🙂 Regardless – hope you like and will consider…making!…one for yourself! 🙂

STITCHED SHAPES FRAMELITS UPDATE
Because of the extreme demand, the Stitched Shapes Framelits (item 145372) are currently on backorder and will be placed on non-orderable status on November 21, 2016, at 10:00 AM (MT). After Monday, when you enter this product’s item number in, you will receive a pop-up notification asking if you would like to be notified via email when this product is back in stock. This allows you to find out immediately when the item’s status changes and it is again available for purchase.
You’ve still got time to get your set ordered so you can get them just as soon as they become available – so don’t wait! Click here or on the image below to go right to my online store to order the die set if you’d like to be able to order before the number is turned off. The number will be turned off on Monday and you won’t be able to order them until the supply is replenished. I’ve made several cards in the past few days with these great Framelits if you need some motivation to get them ordered before you can’t! 🙂
Stampin’ Up! gave us an estimated arrival date of 28 Nov for the shipment of dies. Hopefully they’ll be back in stock that day or very soon after, so there’s not too much time before you can get them!
