Happy Holiday Catalog Day!

Click HERE to view the catalog online.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The 2019 Holiday Catalog is live and ready to be enjoyed! I’ve been creating with some of the new products and I’m excited to start sharing them with you. This catalog is always the one I look forward to the most, because I love creating for the Fall and Winter holidays. I actually love creating anytime of the year but mostly especially NOW. Hopefully, now that the catalog is live and you can order from it, some of my projects will inspire you.

I’m starting off with some Fall projects and will gradually make my way to Christmas. Or who knows, I’ll probably sneak a few Christmas ones in there soon, too. I’m also going to be offering FREE tutorials using a selected bundle each month for the duration of the holiday catalog (September thru December). You can read more about this below.

I chose to start with the Come to Gather Suite. This set actually took me by surprise. At first glance, I thought it was just well…ok. That was until I decided to order it and started playing with it. I AM HOOKED! If I wasn’t in the mood for Fall, I certainly am now!

The Gather Together stamp set and coordinating Gathered Leaves Dies come in a Bundle for a 10% savings. I used the dies on this card. Look at the lovely embossing on these leaf dies. I could not get enough of them, and cut out so many in all different colors, which you’ll be seeing in future projects.

For today’s card, I took my cue from a pattern in the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper collection for the color palette. I love that it’s a non-traditional Fall color combination but that it’s also so soft and pretty.

Here’s the Details….

Materials & Measurements

Card Base: Soft Sea Foam card stock cut at 81/2″ x 4 1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″ for a top fold
Whisper White panel: 3rd largest rectangle from the Rectangle Stitched dies
DSP panel: 4th largest rectangle from the Rectangle Stitched dies
Banner: Soft Sea Foam cut 1/2″ x 4″ and flagged on each end

Assembly

Attach the Whisper White Stitched Rectangle to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals
Glue the DSP panel directly to the white rectangle
Stamp your desired sentiment on the left side of the banner and glue to the DSP panel
Cut a variety of leaves from the Gathered Leaves dies from Soft Sea Foam, Mint Macaron and Pear Pizzazz card stock.
Brush leaves with a Clear Wink of Stella brush (optional)
Adhere leaves in a cluster with Stampin’ Dimensionals
Tie a bow with white Baker’s Twine and affix with a mini glue dot
Embellish with a few rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels also available in the Holiday Catalog.

I kept the inside of this card blank for now as I’ll be sending it to a dear friend who is going through some hard challenges and I’m not sure exactly what sentiment I’ll use. This is the type of card that’s versatile enough to use for so many occasions.
The envelope flap gets a pretty treatment with some Designer Series Paper. Always a quick and easy way to give a hint of the beauty inside!

If you’ve been inspired by my card and more importantly, the Come to Gather suite of products, I will be sending out 3 free tutorials all this month featuring this suite for any order of $40 or more (after tax and shipping). Each tutorial will include full color photos and clear step by step instructions for creating 3 very different cards using these products. These tutorials will not appear on the blog and will only be available to those who place an order. Along with the tutorials, I will be sending another completed card created with the Come to Gather Suite of products for you to keep or send. You can shop HERE on my online store.

I’ve also added a Hostess Code for you to use for the month of September: 3GRFQMTP

For any $50 – $149.99 orders (total before shipping and tax) please add Host Code
$150 or more order (total before shipping and tax) please DO NOT add the host code. You will automatically earn Stampin’ Rewards!
In addition, any order of $75 or more, will qualify for this month’s free gift from me. September’s free gift is the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Thanks very much for stopping by today and I hope you’ll have an opportunity to sit and enjoy the Holiday catalog. If you haven’t received a catalog and would like one, please let me know. It can also be viewed online HERE. Please stop by again for more idea using this month’s featured set and many others from the new catalog…I’ve just begun!

Take care,

Rosanne

Animal Outing For Baby

Rosanne August 19, 2019 August 19, 2019Baby, Cards, Congratulations

Comments: 2

Happy Monday! Today is my last day of summer vacation. It’s back to school tomorrow! I must admit that it’s been a good summer but as far as stamping goes, I didn’t get nearly as much done as I wanted to. So I resolved to step it up for the Fall. I’ve been creating with some of the new products from the Holiday catalog and they’ve got my creative juices flowing again. However, for today’s card I reached for the Animal Outing stamp set and coordinating Animal Friends thinlits to create a set of baby cards.

HERE’S THE DETAILS….

Materials & Measurements

Card Base is Petal Pink and Balmy Blue card stock: 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″

Whisper White card stock: 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″

Smoky Slate card stock: 5 1/4″ x 4″

Smoky Slate Gingham DSP: 4″x 3 7/8″

Assembly

Adhere the Smoky Slate panel directly to the Whisper White panel.
Then layer them to the Petal Pink or Balmy Blue card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Smoky Slate Gingham layer was created using a Stitched border die that I had in my stash.

All the images and dies are from the Animal Outing stamp set and Animal Friends thinlits with the exception of the flowers. I used a die from Lovely Flowers framelits.
The sentiment is heat embossed in white embossing powder, hand cut and popped with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I colored the images with a variety of Stampin’ Blends. The colors are listed in the Product List at the end of the post.

The inside sentiment is from the retired stamp set, Made with Love. I’m glad I hung onto this set as both the images and sentiments are so sweet.

I still love this set as much now as when it first came out a few catalogs ago. These cute animals are just perfect for a baby cards. HERE and HERE are a couple of cards I created with this set previously.

A few of my co-workers welcomed babies over the summer, so I’ll be giving these cards out tomorrow when I return to school. I think I’ll need to make a few more to have on hand.

Thanks for stopping in and I hope that you’re continuing to enjoy the summer.

Take care,

Rosanne

Come Sail Away & Celebrate

Rosanne August 17, 2019 August 17, 2019Birthday, Cards, Masculine

Comments: 2

Greetings from Ocean City, MD! I’m spending a few fun-filled days with my whole family celebrating a BIG birthday. We don’t have the opportunity to do this very often, so it’s super special when we can. Last year, my husband had that same BIG birthday and we spent it in the Pocono Mountains. This year, it’s the Beach so my card today just seemed very appropriate. However, I actually created it for my husband, Steve’s birthday this week.

When I purchased the Sailing Home Suite at OnStage, I wasn’t sure that I would use all the elements. I’m happy to say, I was wrong! Between today’s card and this card HERE, every product in the suite was used.

HERE’S THE DETAILS….

Materials & Measurements

Whisper White thick card stock: 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″

Night of Navy card stock: 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″

Whisper White card stock: 5 1/4″ x 4″

Assembly

Adhere the Night of Navy panel to the Whisper White card base.
Emboss the Whisper White layer using the Subltes embossing Folder.
Sponge this layer with Balmy Blue ink to create a sky.
Stamp the birds in the upper right corner with Crumb Cake ink.
The waves were created with a overlay included in the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack. It needed to be trimmed to fit.

The sailboats were stamped in Night of Navy and Crumb Cake ink and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Lastly, those sentiments are actually stickers also from the Memories & More Card Pack. Take a look at all that’s included in this pack. I think these paper packs are a terrific value and really stretch your creativity.

Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack #149552

Lastly, I embellished the envelope with a thin strip of Designer Series Paper from the Come Sail Away collection along with the rope die from the Smooth Sailing framelits and a stamped sailboat.

This is one product suite that I’m enjoying more than I thought I would. I have a few more masculine cards to make and I’m sure I’ll use this set for some of them.

I’ll leave you with a picture taken of our crew at the beach. Last year, we had t-shirts made for Steve’s birthday and this year I was surprised with beach towels. I laughed hysterically at the caricature of me as I’ve never worn a bikini in my life let alone when I’m turning 60!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Rosanne

Cheerful Birthday Wishes – Pals Blog Hop

Rosanne August 14, 2019 August 14, 2019Birthday, Cards

Comments: 15

Welcome to the Pals’ August Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects for “Special Occasions” – cards or projects that adds beauty to the special occasions we all love to make cards for! You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Today’s card is a bright and cheerful Summertime birthday card. I know that we’re being inundated with all things Fall just about now, however, I’m hanging onto summer just a bit longer.

Once again, I reached for the Floral Essence stamp set pairing it with the Buffalo Check stamp. These sets along with the color combination of Daffodil Delight and Real Red make for a charming country feel. I recently made another card HERE that had the same appeal.

To create the diagonal cut on the top layer of DSP, I used the largest die in the Stitched Rectangles. I also took a strip of Real Red card stock and using the same die, cut an edge piece along the longer side of the rectangle then trimmed it to fit along the edge of the DSP for a border. Here is the placement of the die.

In full disclosure, I cut the piece stamped with the Buffalo Check a bit too short. Next time I’ll wait to cut this piece after I’ve made the diagonal cut. Here’s my mistake…

Luckily, the placement of the flowers easily covered up where the two pieces didn’t meet. The flowers were layered and popped with Stampin’ Dimensionals. This set does not have framelits to cut these flowers, so I used a Scan n Cut. The leaves were stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink and punched using the Leaf Punch.

The sentiment is from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set and is cut with an oval die from the Stitched Shapes framelits and layered on a Real Red oval cut from the Layering Ovals framelits. The heart is a retired enamel shape.

The inside features two sentiments from the Special Celebrations stamp set.

To complete the project, I stamped on the front of the envelope. Creating a little inside and envelope coordination really pulls it all together for a one of a kind card.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, September 11, 2019 when our Hoppin’ Pals share their “It’s the Sentiment that Counts” projects. Don’t miss the fun!
