Slimline Christmas Card

Posted on November 15, 2024November 15, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

I haven’t made a slimline card in a long time. Maybe that’s because I don’t have the right size envelopes… I really should do something about that! In the meantime, I was inkspired by a design I saw online and decided to make my own slimline Christmas card.

For this card I’m pulling out the More than Autumn bundle. This is probably my favourite bundle in the Holiday Mini catalogue! And since this is a Christmas card, I’m using the little candy cane and gingerbread cookie as inkspiration for my colours. Crumb Cake is the card base and Real Red is the card mat. The card base is 7″ x 9″, scored at 3 1/2″ on the short side.

On top of that I stamped a few candy canes using Real Red ink and some hearts in Crumb Cake ink. The gingerbread cookies I decided to stamp in Pecan Pie. Then I stamped a bunch of the cups. Double what I actually needed so I could use the top part of half of them to create lids.

Then I coloured the cups with the light and dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. And each cup sleeve got either a candy cane or gingerbread cookie. I stamped them with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then coloured them with the light versions of the Real Red and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. Once these were done I stacked them all up on the card with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then on top of that I layered on the sentiment that I stamped with Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake and Real Red ink.

The More than Autumn bundle makes a great slimline Christmas card don’t you think?! I’m definitely not ready to put this bundle away yet! This is definitely what I’ll be using for the cards for our friends and family.

So until I share those designs, check out this other card I created using the More than Autumn bundle here.

Fall Themed Handmade Card

Posted on September 6, 2024September 6, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

September is here! And with a new catalogue and Fall just a couple of weeks away I’ve been having some fun with one of the new bundles from the September-December Mini Catalogue… aka the Holiday Mini. The More than Autumn stamps and dies are great for any occasion. For this post though I’m sharing a fall themed handmade card.

The image of the slice of pie totally caught my eye and inspired the design of this card. So with this being a fall themed handmade card I went with the obvious choice… pumpkin pie! I’m using Pumpkin Pie for the card base and one of my ink colours. The other colour is Pecan Pie. On top of the Pecan Pie card mat, I stamped a few Pumpkin Pie pumpkins. Then I embossed the cardstock using the 3D Cane Weave embossing folder. But before I attached it to the card mat I added a little bit of the Natural Polka Dot trim. And with this you’ll want to cut a little extra. The trim is a bit stiff and so you’ll want that extra to make is easier to tie a simple knot like I did.

From here, I stamped the image of the slice of pie using Early Espresso ink. I didn’t want the lines of the image disappearing when I coloured it with Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write markers. I framed this piece of cardstock with some more Pecan Pie cardstock and then popped it up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then on top of the trim I stamped my sentiment with both ink colours. I die cut it using the Something Fancy dies and then popped this up with a couple more Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I can’t wait to really get crafting with the More than Autumn bundle!

Happy Houseplants

Posted on June 14, 2024June 14, 2024 by inkspirationwithteresa

One of the projects I did at my big crafting day with my larger team was the Happy Houseplants kit. I love crafting home decor pieces! So I’m always on the look out for nice frames for different ideas. I also love plants and gardening so this kit is a great combination of the two!

To start I made two of the frames. At first I thought I was only going to make one and save the other frames for some fun home decor pieces. But I couldn’t decide which one of these I liked better, so I made them both. They turned out great! And I think the extra tip of using a Bone Folder to Curl the leaves really helped with this.

Now I haven’t made a home decor piece with the other frames yet. But I did make a card using some of the supplies from the Happy Houseplants kit and a few things from the Annual Catalogue. To make it I used a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock for the card base and a piece of Lemon Lime Twist for the card mat. Then I cut down the kit piece for the snake plant frame to make my card front. On top of that I layered the die cut pieces of the snake plant with the other pot. I added two more plants using the Planted Paradise stamp set using Pecan Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Garden Green ink. Then I fussy cut them and popped them up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Crafting with You stamp set. I stamped it with Garden Green ink and then framed it with a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock. And to finish it off I added a couple of Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Check out the Happy Houseplants kit, along with the other that are currently available here. There’s lots of different kinds of kits. And new ones are added every month.

A Walk in the Forest

Posted on November 17, 2023November 17, 2023 by inkspirationwithteresa

Can you believe there’s only about 5 weeks left until Christmas?! I feel like I’m only just starting to get into my Christmas crafting groove. Thankfully I think I finally figured out my designs for the card I’ll be sending to my friends and family. And while this isn’t it, it is using this pack of Designer Series Paper… A Walk in the Forest.

For this card I’m pairing up the Joy of Noel and More Wishes stamp sets. I think the holly leaf image from the Joy of Noel stamp set goes nicely with the design I chose. And to play up the pine cones in this design I’m using Pecan Pie for my card base and as a frame for the DSP and sentiment.

I stamped the holly leaves in Garden Green. And I stamped the “Merry Christmas” from the More Wishes stamp set in Pecan Pie. Then I popped up the sentiment with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. And then to finish it off I added a few of the green Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins.

Stay tuned for the designs I use for my family and friends!

In the meantime, check out another Christmas card I made using the Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper here.

You can find both packs of patterned paper in my online shop. And when you buy the A Walk in the Forest DSP pack Stampin’ Up! will donate $4 to support organizations dedicated to spreading cheer and providing support to those who need it.
