Good Sunday morning, y’all! I’ll have a second post a little later with my FB Live Video sneak peek!
I’m excited to be a guest in the Stamping Sunday blog hop this week! We’re all creating projects using the so-pretty (and versatile!) Labels to Love stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! 2017 Holiday Catalog to share with you today.
I decided to add a few bits and pieces for my card – a little Christmas Around the World plaid DSP, some Pretty Pine boughs and berries, and an assist from Christmas Happiness. Take a look-see:
I started by matting a piece of Christmas Around the World DSP (the plaid – my favorite!) on a piece of Gold Foil for the card front. Next I pulled a piece of Whisper White and embossed it in the new Quilt Top TIEF, matted it on Gold Foil, and adhered it over the card front with Liquid Glue.
I used my Pretty Pines Thinlit dies to cut some Garden Green pine boughs, Real Red leaves and Gold Foil berries.
For the label, I inked the pretty sentiment from Labels to Love using my Garden Green and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers and stamped it on Whisper White. Then I punched it with the matching Everyday Label punch. I also punched a label in Gold Foil, then adhered the sentiment to its mat – offset just a little – with Liquid Glue.
After a quick dry-fit to be sure I knew where I wanted to put what – I used Liquid Glue to adhere the Pretty Pines boughs, leaves and berries to the embossed panel.
I popped the matted sentiment over the embellishments with Stampin’ Dinensionals. Then I tied a little bow from some Real Red Mini Tinsel Trim and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
The final touch was a small Black Rhinestone Jewel and the card front was done!
On the inside, I used the pretty pine bough image from the Christmas Happiness stamp set, and stamped it twice (without re-inking!) in Garden Green in the corner of a Whisper White panel. Then I added a strip of the Christmas Around the World DSP that I’d matted on Gold Foil over the top. Just cuz I could, I added a Black Rhinestone Jewel!
I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Gold Foil mat and into my Thick Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another double-stamped pine bough from Christmas Happiness in Garden Green on the front…
…and I added some more of that wonderful plaid paper from the Christmas Around the World DSP to the envelope flap.
Et Voila! The Labels to Love stamp set really lives up to its name – you gotta love all the different label-sized sentiments for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, New Years and even Valentine’s Day! All paired up with the Everyday Label punch. And – of course, you can hardly go wrong with pine boughs and plaid, now can you? Hope you like!

Beautiful card Mary!! I love all of your details … and that plaid paper just sets it off! Thank you for joining us this week as a guest designer for Stamping Sunday!!
Thanks for asking me, Sara! It was fun! Love love love that plaid! 🙂
Gorgeous card Mary, so glad you were able to hop with us for Stamping Sunday. I’d totally missed that tartan pattern – in fact, I haven’t yet made anything using this DSP! I’ll have to change that pronto! Kelly x
Thanks, Kelly – I appreciated the invite! Yes – I’d love to have a whole pack of just that plaid paper!! 🙂
First of all, congrats on Guest Designer. Second, I am going to the sandbox to see if they will do a pick your own DSP…one from every pack they offer. Can you imagine how much work that would be for them! So, I’ll just suggest they do a package with all plaids! I have so many in my card group who want only that plaid. I told them about your shares and even showed them what they are like. These women are a hard sell! Off to the hop!
Thanks, Karen!! I like the idea of an all-plaid (and in these colors!!) DSP Pack!! Fingers crossed! 🙂
Congrats, and super card. I am loving that plaid, and you made a beauty! 🙂
Thanks very much, Jari! 🙂
Love, love, love it! This one has (most) my favs-plaid, pine, quilts, and, did I say PLAID?
I like Karen’s idea…all plaid package.
I just put in a suggestion in the Sandbox for that very thing! Thanks so much, Julie! 🙂
You know before I say it!!! Verra guid card!!!
Plaid and Pines!! Gotta love it. Thanks, Mom! 🙂
