For Unto Us

If you want a wonderful sentiment stamp set and a quick and easy way to create cards using some sentiments that convey the reason of the season then the For Unto Us stamp set may just be what you need.

Check out these lovely cards that team these great sentiments up with other products rather than a stamp set.

This first one uses the Ornate Layers Dies (152726), Stitched Rectangles Dies (151820), and the Sprig Punch (148012) to create a wonderful card. Use our Stampin’ Write Markers and you can color the sentiment easily!

And this next card uses our Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper (150429) along with the Hammered Metal 3d Embossing Folder (150646) on our Copper Foil (142020) and Nested Labels Dies (149638).

So simple and elegant – a great way to use sentiment sets all by themselves. Of course, if you prefer you can add them to your favorite stamp set too.

More Christmas Gleaming

Yesterday I shared some quick and easy cards with you using the Christmas Gleaming stamp set and it’s coordinating punch. Today’s cards add an extra step making them what we called stepped up. They are still cards that you can make easily, but they do require a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine since they include Embossing Folders too.

This first card is a fun fold card. It uses our beautiful Copper Foil Sheets (142020) to bring out the copper highlights of the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The foil has been run through the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (150646) for some added texture . The lovely sheer Pool Party Ribbon (152462) tops off the two punched ornaments. Open it and you have a lovely sentiment inside.

Love texture? This next card not only uses the same Hammered Metal Folder to add texture to the Copper Foil, it adds a lovely swirled background too.

The Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder (151474) was used to emboss the Sahara Sand background and the copper tone Star Designer Elements (150430) are used in the bottom corner tying all the copper elements on this card together.

So what do you think? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which style is your favorite? Yesterday’s quick and easy or today’s stepped up versions.

Christmas Gleaming Cards

This first card uses simply stamping and layers of Pretty Peacock and Old Olive.

And the bow ties everything together – This Old Olive and Pretty Peacock two tone Reversible Ribbon (149496) is simply striking in person and add a bit of holiday shimmer.

This next card uses our punching to create this lovely card.

Shoe Box Fun at the Team Weekend Getaway

I mentioned last Friday that I was getting ready for my team retreat – we gather 3 times a year for weekends of stamping, laughter, food and fun. I really look forward to these gatherings of uninterrupted crating time with my peeps. They are the best and while it is like a big slumber party we also get to get to use our Holiday PreOrder goodies to create. What could be better?

A shoe box swap of course! While it was a small gathering this time due to schedules we still had a wonderful time at our shoe box swap. It is always good fun and I love seeing what everyone is creating. Here are some of the projects.

This first card is for Halloween and uses the Apple Builder Punch (150663) and the coordinating Harvest Hello stamp set (150581).

This set is great for quick and easy card since it has a coordinating punch – and a super set for teachers and back to school projects since its got some wonderful sentiments too.

And here is a card that uses a bundle (153006) that is sure to be popular.

The Christmas Gleaming Suite is filled with wonderful products, and the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series paper (150429) includes Copper Foiling that is quite striking. We used the new Copper Delicata Metallic Ink for this project (150707/150708) and can you see the subtle shimmer of the Shimmy Crystal Effects (150892) that we used for the berries? So excited to have these new option for our crafting!

We also made this fun easel sticky note holder using the Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper (149500).

And finally here is my card that I created using the Toile Christmas Bundle (152367) from the Toile Tidings Suite of products.

I just fell in love with this Distinktive stamp set as soon as I saw it – the cardinal is always a favorite of mine. I’ll be working up a tutorial for you and hope to share it in the next week or two as we get closer to the Holiday Catalog launch on September 4th.

And of course, what is a team event with out some door prizes?

Goodies from the Holiday Catalog catalog – winners got to choose their favorite accessories.

Would you like a 2019 Holiday Catalog? You can pick one up during my August Classes or contact me and I’ll be happy to mail you one.

And of course how about a special event where you can pick up your copy of the catalog AND use some of these fun items too! Why not join me and play with some of the new products?
