Cardmaking and Papercraft 12 Weeks of Christmas 2022 idea #09 using Stampin' Up! with free tutorial from Mitosu Crafts by Barry & Jay Soriano
If you're like me you'll need at least one gift card holder this holiday season. And I've got a cute and easy one for you for today's Merry Monday! This bright and cheery card uses a 4" x 12" piece of patterned paper, scored at 4-1/4" and 9-1/2". It's adhered to a piece of Garden Green cardstock that measures 4-1/4" x 5-1/2", making it a standard size card. But that's the only "standard" thing about it! It opens to reveal a gift card holder. How cool is that? When you have scored your paper, fold on the 4-1/4" line to make the top flap, and the 9-1/2" score makes the bottom flap - add a skinny piece of double-stick tape or thin line of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on each side and you create a pocket for your gift card. This card uses the Sweet Candy Canes stamps for the main image; the "Merry Christmas" is from the Cottage Wreath set. The candy canes were stamped with Sweet Sorbet and cut with the coordinating dies; the mistletoe (from the same set) was stamped with Garden Green and cut out. They were mounted on a Garden Green label (from Seasonal Labels dies) that was embossed with the Fern embossing folder. I LOVE the little Flat Jingle Bell Trinket! Tied on with a piece of the Garden Green ribbon, it adds a sweet finish to my card. I expect I'll be making several of these this holiday season...how about you?

My Facebook Live projects from this week showcase the Sweetest Christmas Suite which features traditional colors, images and greetings. Click here for the Facebook Live video, and please join the Buckeye Inklings Stampers Group on Facebook to get notice of my live videos. The designer paper that makes up most of the card base creates two pockets on the inside. One is large enough for a note card or even a hot cocoa pack, and the other creates a cute pocket for small tags. The Real Red cardstock measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", and the designer paper measures 5 1/4" x 12", scored at 4" and 8". The gift card holder and favor each start from a 6" square of designer paper.

Card Making and Papercraft 12 Weeks of Christmas 2022 idea #01 using Stampin' Up! with free tutorial from Mitosu Crafts by Barry & Jay Soriano
I am showing off two cards made from the new Color & Contour Stamp Set today! If you are coming from the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop- Welcome!! I am Ann Krucek, from Ohio, USA. I am happy to be participating in the May Blog Hop where the theme is anything Floral. 🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸 I used the new Contour & Color Stamp Set for both of these cards. The first card is using the spotlight idea where I stamped several of the daisy type flowers in a random pattern in Momento Ink and then cut a portion of it out with a circle die. I took that piece I cut out and colored it with my Stampin' Blends and adhered it to a black scalloped circle to frame the circle. Then I just lined it back up with where it was cut from and adhered the circle back in place. Sorry- just realized I left off the Basic Black cardstock! 🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸 The second card is done with white embossing powder. I stamped a piece of Shimmer White cardstock with Versamark ink randomly with the daisy type stamp from the Color & Contour set and added a leaf here and there. Then I used the embossing powder and heat tool to get those raised white flower images. Then I just used my Water Painters and water colored the with the new Polished Pink ink and just a tiny bit of Bubble Bee ink. As you squeeze out small amounts of water - the colors blend nicely and you can paint right over the embossing and it magically stays white!!! The sentiment is a die from the Ornate Frames set. I added a few of the new In Color Jewels to give it a bit more sparkle and some Polished Pink Ribbon. These two cheerful cards are pretty simple to make but make an impact. Now if you are following along or just starting the hop, below is the list of all the participants. Be sure to check out all of the other talented bloggers for more fabulous inspiration !!

All the pretty patterned paper is one of my favorite things about paper crafting. In the past, I have even, possibly, hoarded my beautiful patterned paper a little. I just didn't want to waste it, and I didn't want to run out of it. Now I know better. I might not always be able to purchase the exact same patterned paper, but I will always be able to purchase new patterned paper, and it's much better to USE my paper than to hide it on a shelf or in a cabinet. PLUS, now I now I can stamp my own beautiful patterned paper! This fun patterned paper was stamped using Color & Contour stamps with Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party inks. I love that I can make pretty paper backgrounds in whatever color scheme fits my mood and card for the day! To make this at home, first stamp the flowers, then go back and fill in the white spaces with the splatter stamp. Inside this card, I finished out the sentiment and added a simple flower bud. I fussy cut the bud after stamping it, then glued it inside the card. But you can also just stamp it in your card so you don't have to fussy cut and glue. Thank you for visiting my blog today. Happy Stamping! SUPPLY LIST

This week's colour challenge for Create with Connie & Mary was focused on some neutrals with just a pop of colour. I thought that the Color & Contour Stamp Set would be perfect to use, I just love the flower images in it.Here are the 3 colours that we had to use for the challenge this week; Polished Pink, Basic Black and Smoky Slate. Now, if you haven't tried out the new Polished Pink In Color yet, I highly recommend it, it really is the perfect shade of pink! For my card, I used a Smoky Slate c
