October's Sea Shore Stampers' Blog Hop - CASE the Catty Christmas Card

Hello, and happy welcome to another Seashore Stampers Blog Hop for October 2018!  So happy you decided to stop by.

This month we are sharing our projects that are CASE(ed) (Copy And Share Everything) from Stampin' Up!'s 2018 Holiday Catalog.

CASED Christmas Card

As I wanted to make a Christmas card, and I had the stamp and die set from page 22 of this catty (Peaceful Poinsettia), I CASed the card pictured on page 23 of the catty! 

Boy, this set is really wonderful to work with!  I changed up the cardstock colors as I didn't have any Shaded Spruce left!   After some debate, I decided to go with Pear Pizzaz and Melon Mambo! I also changed out the ribbon (yup, didn't have any of that wonderful Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon in my stash) - used Gold Metallic Thread instead - what do you think? Bet you can come up with your own favorite color combination (and also bet you can't stop with just one combo either)!

Okay, now that you have seen my card, please enjoy the rest of the hop and I look forward to seeing you next time!

August 2018 Blog Hop - Holiday Theme - Pocket Card

Hello, and welcome to the Sea Shore Stampers blog hop for August 2018!  I am so glad you are joining us!

This month our theme is "Holiday" and I continued playing with my current favorite Stampin' Up!'s stamp set Rooted in Nature.  Not your typical "christmas" stamp set, but with a bit of tweaking, I think I made it "christmasy" - what do you think? 

My color combination is Old Olive and Shaded Spruce to co-ordinate with the DSP "Under the Mistletoe".  If you want to watch a very good video on how to put a pocket card together, please watch Rick Adkins's video here.  Watching someone make this card is easier than reading written instructions.  Have fun!

8.  Attach the large Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the tips of your baker's twine.
9.  Stamp the trees and greeting onto your envelope.
You are done!  Whoo-hoo!!!  Now you can remake as many of these cards as you want! Enjoy :)
