Are you ready for a beautiful Christmas in July idea?

With the holiday season just a few months away, now is the perfect time to start thinking about all the beautiful cards, tags, and gifts you’ll be creating to spread joy and cheer. Today I’m thrilled to share with you a new bundle – the Sophisticated Sled.

Why the Sophisticated Sled bundle is a holiday essential:

Elegant and Versatile Designs The bundle includes a stunning stamp set and coordinating dies that feature intricate sled designs, festive foliage, and heartfelt holiday sentiments. The elegant designs are perfect for creating sophisticated holiday cards that will stand out among the rest.

Endless Creative Possibilities Whether you’re making cards, gift tags, or holiday décor, the Sophisticated Sled bundle offers endless possibilities. Here are a few project ideas to get you started:

1. Holiday Cards: Use the sled and foliage stamps to create beautiful, layered cards. Add a touch of shimmer with metallic embossing powder for an extra festive touch.
2. Gift Tags: Create personalized gift tags by stamping the sled design and adding a “To/From” sentiment. Tie them onto gifts with coordinating ribbon for a polished look.
3. Home Décor: Create a festive banner or framed artwork by combining stamped images with die-cut elements. These pieces make wonderful holiday decorations or gifts.
   
   Coordinating Products Stampin’ Up! offers a range of coordinating products that complement the Sophisticated Sled Bundle perfectly. Pair it with the Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper, coordinating ink pads, and embellishments to make your projects shine.

Tips for getting the most out of your Sophisticated Sled bundle

1. Experiment with Colors While traditional holiday colors are always a hit, don’t be afraid to experiment with non-traditional color palettes. Try blues and silvers for a winter wonderland theme, or rich jewel tones for an elegant look.
2. Layer Your Elements Layering stamped images and die-cut elements adds depth and interest to your projects. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to give your pieces a 3D effect that will wow your recipients.
3. Mix and Match Combine the Sophisticated Sled stamps and dies with other Stampin’ Up! sets for even more creative options. Mixing and matching different sets allows you to create unique, one-of-a-kind projects.

This beautiful gift idea is so easy to make

Hello fellow crafters! Today I have a super easy and very beautiful gift idea to share with you using the Painted Lavender stamp set.

 

You can adapt this idea for a variety of occasions too, such as birthdays, Mother's Day, Christmas, friendship or just as a simply thank you gift.

 

 

To use the Painted Lavender set you can stamp a simple bunch of lavender as a focal point which is what we will be doing today, or you can repeat the floral images to create a wildflower field as a background. The clear stamps make it easy to quickly align the images when stamping the flowers, and greenery, in two different colors.

This week's challenge leaves a lot to the imagination

The door is wide open for this week's challenge - what will you choose?

I immediately thought of my Christmas Tidings embossing folder - I wish I had used it a LOT more this holiday season because I really do love it:

This folder is covered with Christmas sentiments and words, with a sprinkling of festive images. Emboss cardstock and use it as a card background—it’s large enough to cover a standard card front. Or cut it into smaller pieces and use them as accents on other paper crafts. For a colorful impression, daub ink on the folder before running it through the die-cutting machine and get texture and color!

What is fun about this folder is that the words pretty much match the challenge words on this week's card sketch. So I feel that I met the brief!

Here's my card - super simple to create in just a few minutes. Emboss, layer, add ribbon and a few embellishments, and taa daa: 

And now....over to you! What will you make this week? If you want to see what the other crew members created, click here. 

This amazing Rocker Card Technique is so simple to create

Hi fellow crafters. Today I have a fun card technique to share with you that is all the rage lately - a rocker card! I will confess that I have never made one until today! This technique is super easy if you have circle dies or Deckled Circles dies. Shall we get started?

 

I bet it is no shock to see that once again I am going to use the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series paper - retiring soon (sniff sniff).

 

 

If you want to see LOTS of card ideas using this pack, grab a cup of tea and start scrolling back through my blog posts!

 

As I already said, to make any rocker card you need circle dies of some sort. I will be using my Deckled Circles Dies.

 

Every crafter needs some basic tools, and this is one of them! The Deckled Circle Dies (NOT retiring, yay!!) quickly cut basic shapes with a twist—a deckled edge!

Here are some different ideas for using these dies: you can cut several sizes in different colors and layer them to create a big colorful circle. Cut different sizes and scatter them on your card for a fun background. Cut in rainbow colors, then cut the circle in half for two rainbows. The list goes on and on and on. If you have a die-cutting machine, you’ll want these dies! (And if you don’t have a die-cutting machine, this is your reason to get one!)

 

Here's my rocker card:

 

And here's how to make it at home:

Supplies

Stamp set: Shop the Town (162068)

Ink: Old Olive

Paper and cutting dimensions:
        Old Olive: 2" x 1/2" 
        Cherry Cobbler: 6" square; 2" x 1/2" 
        A Walk in the Forest: 5 1/2" square; design for tree and bear
        Pecan Pie: scrap for tree trunk

Misc: Deckled Circles Dies (162286); A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper (162377); Multipurpose Liquid Glue; Adhesive-backed Glitter Sequins (162029)

Here's my video - be sure to watch all the way through for my bonus tips and design ideas. 

It's time for a color challenge, which will you use?

I love a color challenge because it makes me think of combinations and my crafting products in a new way! 

 

When deciding what to use I decided to use a bolder pattern design from the A Walk in the Forest paper pack. Can you figure out which 3 colors I featured?

I also decided on a card technique that I have only tried once so decided to try it again. 

The phrase comes from the Brightest Glow stamp set:

 

Here's my card:

Here's the perfect idea for that hard to buy for person - or perhaps that forgotten (oops, me too!!) person! 

It's a gift card holder, using the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack - what could be easier!
