9/8 Simply Sunday, Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card Kits from Stampin Up!

Good Afternoon Friends!

I hope you're having a Super Sunday!  We are here watching the Patriots and I thought I'd pop in for today's inspiration.  So for Simply Sunday, I thought, It doesn't get any easier than this AWESOME little kit!  

This AWESOME card kit comes with enough supplies to make 8 cute Christmas cards and envelopes, with the precut, pre-done envelope liners, yeah buddy!  (ink and adhesive is sold separately).  I used a Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green Marker to ink up the stamp, then stuck it together!    I made up all 8 cards in one kit and it took me about a half hour total! 

It comes with 8 of everything you see here, including the cute envelope liners!   Talk about Simple!  The kits are $9.95 each.  It is also available as a BUNDLE to include the stamp Set! 

Here's the clear mount link to the bundle which is only $17.95!  Once you have the stamp set, you'd just need the kits to make up the extra cards.  So easy!  Thank you Stampin' Up! 

If you don't already have one, you'd need a "d" block for the stamp set. 

Here's a photo of the bundle.  There are 3 different stamps in the set.  The flourish, the sentiment and the pretty border.  

Well, that's my little bit of inspiration to share today.  It's a glorious day outside!  I hope you had some time to enjoy it!  Until tomorrow! 

Thank you for stopping by!

9/1 Stampin up Simply Sunday, Color Me Christmas and Christmas Messages Stamps

Good Morning Friends!

It's so dark in the studio today that I'm having trouble getting a nice clean shot of this GORGEOUS clean and simple card!  Please forgive the photo.  I hope you can get the details! 

The card features the Color Me Christmas Stamp Set paired up with Christmas Messages Sentiment Stamp Set.  Totally cute!!

 

So, let's jump right in with measurements

Base: Whisper white 11 x 4 1/4", scored and folded in half at 5 1/2"

Layer 2: Cherry cobbler card stock, 4 1/4" x 1 1/4"

Layer 3: Cherry Cobbler Striped DSP, (from the paper stack) 4 1/4  x 1"

Top layer is whisper white scrap

And about 16" of the 5/8" organza from Stampin up!

I also used black candy dots from the neutrals collection 

So super simple!!

I stamped the sentiment first, and the present next.  All with Cherry cobbler and black markers.  

Then I stamped a present on scrap, colored it in, cut it out with a white border!    

Layered theCherry Cobbler Striped designer paper on  the Cherry cobbler card stock

That's my little bit of inspiration for you for today!  I hope you make it a great day!

8/25 Simple Sunday Christmas Messages, Season of Style, Cherry Cobbler Stitched Edge Grosgrain

Good Afternoon Friends!

Oh what fun indeed!  It's hard to believe we only have 4 months' till Christmas!!  Can you believe the kids will be going back to school (for us it's this week) and the nights are becoming cooler??  Pretty soon it will be apple picking and a few last crisp night campfires.

We are coming into my favorite time of year, fall.

Today, I have a "Simple Sunday" share.  This card only takes a short amount of supplies but packs a WOW!  I sent these as thank you's for orders from my private classes last week, and oh what fun we had!!

So Measurements:
Base: Whisper white 11 x 4 1/4", scored and folded in half at 5 1/2"
Layer 2: Cherry cobbler card stock, 4 1/4" x 3 1/4"
Layer 3: Cherry Cobbler Striped DSP, (from the paper stack) 4 x 3
Layer 4: Cherry Cobbler 1" Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon (tied around the inside)
Layer 5: Whisper white scrap, stamped with the Christmas Messages Stamp Set and punched with the large tag punch.
Don't forget to order envelopes if you need them!   Our envelopes are not only stampable, they are less expensive than the office supply stores I've shopped at! 

I used a small hole punch at the top and tied it around the cherry cobbler bow, then took a glue dot to attach it down so it wouldn't move when you pick the card up.

So ~ Tying the bow is the magic on this card, and really NO ONE ties a perfect bow one the first shot!  First I made sure that everything looked flat, then proceeded to "tie my shoes"  It doesn't matter if you do "loop, swoop, and pull" or "bunny ears"  the magic happens AFTER that.  You take your time.  Put your fingers inside the loops to shape as you pull, then pull the ends and mess with it until it's right.  This is really a quickie card!  Finally, I finished it off with a large Rhinestone from the inexpensive pack of rhinestones from stampin up  you get 150 rhinestones, in 3 sizes, plus 3 strips for $4.95!  Love em!! 

So, let's talk about the DSP stacks!  They are AMAZING!  You get 2 doublesided designs, 24 of each.  So if I were to cut only the striped paper for this card, I'd have enough for 48 cards, and a whole extra design to play with still it's a steal at $6.95!

Here's a peek at those 4 designs:

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit today!  I hope I inspired you to stamp a little something simple today!
