M is for Merry Music and more!

October 28, 2017October 28, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 9 Comments

Welcome to my Holiday ABC series. I love Christmas music! I could listen to Christmas carols year round! Unfortunately I can’t sing. (Many a friend will agree! LOL) At least my Pre K students don’t seem to mind. I may not be able to sing the right notes; however, I create some “notes”. Today’s cards feature the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper. I made a set of note cards for my daughter’s former violin teacher. My daughter visits her when she is home from college and brings her our homemade fudge for Christmas every year. I know she will appreciate these cards (maybe not as much as her favorite fudge but at least these are calorie free).

This is a clean & simple layout and a great way to showcase your favorite DSP. (Don’t forget select DSP is on sale through the end of October…Buy 3, Get 1 FREE! Only a few days left to stock up & save!)

The DSP measures 3×3 and I layered each with a 3 1/4 square of Basic Black cardstock. I used the Pretty Pines Thinlits to cut my boughs from Garden Green, Old Olive, and Real Red cardstock. I adhered these and the Red Ribbon bow with Glue Dots. I stamped the sentiment from Flourishing Phrases in Basic Black and cut it (and the Real Red scallop piece) with the Layering Ovals Framelits. I adhered the sentiment layer to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Quick & easy! What a great gift idea for teachers, hostesses, musicians, etc. You get 4 each of 6 double-sided designs in the pack so there’s plenty of paper to make matching envelopes too!

L is for Star of Light

October 26, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 5 Comments

Welcome to my Holiday ABC series. I was asked to design a card using the Star of Light Stamp Set. The request was for a simple card that would be easy to make in bulk. I love a challenge and this was so much fun! I created two cards so she could have a choice. I like how this request fit right in with my alphabet series…L is for Light. Here’s my first card:

The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 Whisper White scored at 5 1/2. I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest by Brandy Cox. I stamped the swirl around the outside of the card in Night of Navy ink.

The image and sentiment are stamped on a piece of 3 x 4 whisper white and layered on a piece of 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 Soft Sky and 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 Night of Navy. There are so many great sentiments and images in this set! The photopolymer stamps make it is easy to do two-step stamping. I used Soft Sky ink to fill the image and then added a rhinestone and Wink of Stella for a little sparkle. The layered piece is adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I love how this stamp set has several sentiments that go together for the front and inside of cards! It was fun to stamp the images on the inside to coordinate.

A simple, clean card that is easy to duplicate! Here’s the matching envelope.

I thought I would add a little sparkle to my next card with some Silver Glimmer Paper. I love Glimmer Paper and every time I use it on a card I wonder why I don’t use it more!

I love Navy and White…so classic! I did the same two step stamping on the layered piece but this time I added the swirl in Soft Sky. The Whisper White piece measures 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 and the Silver Glimmer Paper is 1/8″ larger. The inside has the same swirl in Soft Sky with the sentiment stamped in Night of Navy.

I wonder which one my friend will make. Do you have a preference? Here they are side by side.

K is for Kit…Be Merry

October 20, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 4 Comments

Welcome to my Holiday ABC series! Today I am sharing a fun kit from the Holiday catalog… the Be Merry Kit. This all-inclusive kit has everything necessary to make 12 rosette ornaments (6 each of 2 designs). These are so festive and fun to make!

Look at everything that comes in the kit!

Stampin Up Be Merry Kit - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

You can hang them on your tree or wreath or use as gift tags or on packages.

I love the idea of putting them on gift bags and packages and then the recipient can hang on their tree! (I used a piece of washi tape to adhere the string inside the bag. It’s easy to remove to hang the ornament.)

I added the circle tags to the back. The Cheers to Years Stamp Set is great for making a tag for a bottle of wine or champagne and there are so many stamp sets that have to and from stamps (Labels to Love, Snowflake Sentiments, Tags & Trimmings…).

Check out this video to see how quick & easy these are to put together!

I had so much fun making these and love that I have a head start on tags/gifts! These would be great to give as a little gift to coworkers! Here’s a few close ups!
