Happy Stampers November Blog Hop and Blog Candy!

Welcome to the Happy Stampers November Blog Hop.  This month's theme is the Holidays.  Be sure to visit all the hoppers today and leave comments for a chance to win some Blog Candy!

My first project for you today is this little deer!

You may remember seeing him yesterday.  Again he was colored with the Crumb Cake Blendabilities.  I created a little scene for him in a 2 1/2 inch circle punch of Whisper White.  The Circle Framelits created the Pool Party border layer.  He's nestled in amongst some trees from the White Christmas set and standing in snow made from the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper.  The Banner Framelit die cut is also out of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper.  All the stars you see are out of Silver Glimmer paper and are from punches.  The tiny little stars over the deer are from the Confetti Stars punch.   Base card is Soft Sky with a layer from the All is Calm dsp.  Greeting is from the Good Greetings Hostess set.  My next project is the card below:

Based on the weather here this week it definitely is the season. It was 18 outside this morning!
I love all the stars Stampin Up has given us to play with this season!  I used the Star Framelits for all the stars.  I've used the Bright and Beautiful set and the Many Merry Stars (in the Holiday Supplement) for the Greeting at the top.The little snowflakes above the stars (or they could also be stars) are from Holiday Home set.

 If you'd like to win a package of Stampin Up's New Silver Glimmer Paper leave me a comment on my blog and I will choose a random winner to be announced on Saturday morning.  Please understand that although anyone can leave a comment I can only ship to address' in the USA.

Wondrous Wreath for Thanksgiving

This card uses both the Wondrous Wreath Bundle and the Fall Fest Bundle - stamps and framlits.  My friend Martha and I made this card at our last get together this past week.  In addition we used a piece of dsp from Motley Monsters and a piece of dsp from the All Abloom Paper stack, the acorn from the Autumn Accents Bigz die, linen thread and fringe scissors. We stamped the pumpkins in Pumpkin Pie onto Pumpkin Pie cs. A Stylus was used to give the falling leaves some texture.  We used the baby wipe technique to color the wreath. 

Other Supplies:
CS - Wild Wasabe, Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie -  leaves in garden green, cajun ccraze, old olive, mossy meadow
Reinkers - Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry
Wood Grain Embossing Folder

Thanks for stopping by to visit today.

More White Christmas

Here's another card using one of my favorite sets White Christmas.  I showed you a 4 panel screen on Saturday with 4 different scenes from this set.  Scroll down a bit to see that card.  The card above  uses the Filigree Frame embossing folder from the Holiday Catalog to frame the scene.  The scene itself and also the snowman was stamped with VersaMark embossing ink and embossed with silver embossing powder.  The snowman and the birds were fussy cut and adhered with glue dots. The sky was sponged with  Soft Sky and Pool Party ink. 

Thanks for stopping in today.

White Christmas Screen Card

White Christmas from the 2014 Holiday Catalog is one of my favorite holiday sets this year.  There are so many scenes you can make - I love that!  I found the instructions for making the screen at Do Stamping With Dawn.  I knew immediately I wanted to make my scene with White Christmas.  The top part of the screen is punched with the new Confetti Stars Punch.  I put a strip of Silver foil paper behind the punched stars.  And I also used some of the punched stars on the scenes.  Here are some more photos of each panel:

 

  

It's a fun card to make.  Give it a try!

Today was a fun stamping day with my two stampin' buddies, Nancy and Martha!  Here we are in the next photo getting ready to play. 

L-R Nancy, Me, Martha -  Thanks for a great day ladies!

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Happy Stampers Holiday Catalog 2014 Blog Hop...and Blog Candy too!

The Holiday Catalog goes live today!  So hop along with the Happy Stampers Holiday Catalog Blog Hop.  There is sure to be lots of Holiday inspiration.  I've chosen a Thanksgiving theme for my first card today.  The first one above was my first use of Washi Tape.  I wonder why it took me so long.  It was just the right touch.  I've used the Fall Fest Stamp set along with the matching Fun Fall Framelits Dies, and the gorgeous Color Me Autumn Designer Washi Tape.

My next card share today is a little off the stamping path for me!  But I couldn't resist - I just love those shoes!  I've used the Tee Hee Hee stamp set and the Motley Monsters DSP.  I hope you like my cards.

And now for the Blog Candy.......please leave me a comment and let me know what you think of my cards today.  I'll choose a random recipient to win some Early Espresso Embossing Powder and a package of Essentials Wooden Elements (32 pieces). I will announce the winner on Friday, Sept. 5, 2014.

(Please note, anyone is welcome to leave me a comment but I am only able to ship the blog candy items to addresses within the United States.  Thanks for your understanding.)
