ESAD 2017 Holiday Catalogue Fancy Folds and 3d projects Blog Hop

Welcome to the ESAD 2017 Holiday Catalogue Fancy Folds & 3D Projects blog hop!  You may have come from Courtenay Heuston or be starting here with me!

I have created a couple of projects for you tonight.  I wanted to have a play with the Lovely Laurel thinlits so I decided to create a set of napkin holders for my Christmas table.

I created a circle of Silver foil and cut out the wreath from the thinlits in Tranquil Tide.  I then cut out the banner in Gold Glimmer paper.  (Because it’s Christmas and you need sparkle!!)  Now if you could do nice, fancy writing and write a name on it, or you can add a stamp from the Christmas Happiness and cut it out using the Lovely Laurel thinlit.

Of course, if you are having Christmas dinner at your place, you might be wanting to send an invite out.  So I create a matching card.

If you follow me, you’ll notice that I never decorate the inside of my cards!  But, on this card, I did the inside first!

I created the wreath and the banner as per the place holder.  I wanted to add a bigger sentiment into the middle of the card, so I stamped the sentiment from Merry Little Labels using markers.  I then placed it into the middle of the card and gently folded it.  Once I had a fold line on the circle, I then scored it and attached it to the banner.

For the front of my card, I used the Good Tidings stamp set.  I love the rustic look of the holly leaves.

I hope you have enjoyed my projects for tonight’s hop.  Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.  Next up is my friend, Peta Stephen.

CTC144 – Quilted Christmas

Firstly, Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s!!  I had afternoon tea with my parents today which was lovely.

So how exciting is this week!!  We have our first CTC hop with the 2017 Holiday Catalogue!!!  We are caseing the Quilted Christmas section, pages 4-9.

Isn’t the Quilted Christmas bundle amazing?!  But I haven’t used it today for my card.  I decided to case the box on page 9 (on the right) featuring the Good Tidings stamp set.

I stamped the sentiment in Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake paper (don’t you use Kraft was still available!).  I then created a banner using the Quilted Christmas DSP stack and a piece of Real Red cardstock.

I used the new Everyday Label punch and cut out one piece in Garden Green and turned it portrait and another in Whisper White.  I stamped the holly and sentiment (which comes from Christmas Happiness stamp set) in Garden Green and Real Red.  I used the fine tip glue pen to add shine to the holly berries.  I also stamped and fussy cut a holly leaf out as well.

For a touch of bling, I added some mini gold sequins.  And have you noticed the vintage crochet trim?  It’s so lovely!!

I hope you enjoy the cards in this week’s hop!  Next up is Monique with her gorgeous project.

When I am in my craft room, my kitty, Jaster, often sits with me.  He actually has his own chair (well we share them depending which one he is on!)  Last week, Shadow (AKA Mr Fatty) decided he was lonely and joined us as well.  Shame there wasn’t room for me to sit at my desk!!

Happy Stamping

ESAD Holiday Catalogue Hop

I’m so excited to be a part of the ESAD 2017 Holiday Catalogue blog hop!  And to be sharing a couple of my favourite Holiday projects with you!

So you might be starting the hop with me, or have come from the talented Ellen Woodbridge.  Just make sure you keep following the next button to see all the amazing inspiration from the Holiday Catalogue.

There are lots of fabulous stamp sets and products in this catalogue!!  I decided to create my first project using the Good Tidings stamp set.

I started off with using the Ruffled Dynamic Textured Impressions embossing folder which I just received this week to add some texture to the background.  I then stamped up a piece using the holly stamps from the set.  I stamped off once using garden green for the solid image and then didn’t for the second image.

I then stamped the sentiment from the set in Cherry Cobbler and cut it out using the circle framelits.  I also did a silver foil circle and a scalloped circle in Cherry Cobbler.  And wait for it, I USED washi tape!!  I used the new Year of Cheer Specialty washi tape (which is so lovely!!) and a piece from the Basics Pack 2 washi tape.  I will get through my washi 2″ at a time!!

For my second card, I wanted to do something other than Christmas.  The Painted Harvest stamp set is beautiful!!  When I first saw it, I wasn’t convinced, but seeing many demonstrator samples over the past month has made me change my mind and fall in love with it.

I love that you can do so many different colour combinations for the flowers, however today, I’ve gone fairly traditional.  I started with the centre of the flower using Early Espresso.  I then used Daffodil Delight for the solid image and then used Pumpkin Pie for the next image and then did my favourite thing, fussy cutting.  NOT!

I stamped the leaves on the cardstock in Old Olive and the sentiment in Early Espresso.

This is a quick and easy card to re-create.

I hope you have enjoyed my cards tonight.  Next up is the amazing Mandy.

Make sure you leave me a comment and let me know what you think of my projects!  A list of the participants is below in case you get lost on the hop.

Happy Stamping
