Double Dutch Door Gnomes

Last week, I taught a FREE Friday Fun Fold class to my stampers.  We made a Double Dutch Door card.  I used the  Gnome for the Holidays stamp set for my sample.

To me, the top of the tree stamp looked unfinished, so I stamped and punched a few leaves using the Harvest Hellos stamp set and Apple Builder Punch.

I decided the string of lights needed a little bling, so I added rhinestones that I colored with my Stampin’ Blends.

I used the hat from one of the gnome stamps to make the little tree on the inside.

I thought it turned out very cute.  What do you think?

Freshly Brewed Projects – Christmas DSP

It’s time for another Blog Hop with my friends in Australia!  Today, we are using Christmas DSP (Designer Series Paper ) in our projects.  I can’t wait to see what everyone does.

I thought I would share a project from one of my monthly Stamp Clubs.  We took a 6 x 6 sheet of DSP from the Flowers for Every Season pack in the Annual Catalog. As the description states, this package of paper DOES cover all the seasons, including tulips for Spring, daisies for Summer, sunflowers for Autumn, and poinsettias for Winter.  And, that’s only the beginning.  This DSP pack has 48 sheets (4 each of 12 double-sided designs)!

This was a One Sheet Wonder class, which means we took one sheet of DSP and cut it into pieces to make four different cards.

We weren’t able to meet in person, so everyone picked up their kit and we made these cards in an online class.  Then, everyone was left to their own devices to finish and embellish their cards.

I wanted to show them just how versatile these cards can be, so I finished each one of mine with a different stamp set, hoping they would all own at least one of these sets, or have something similar.

This card was finished with the Christmas Gleaming Variety Bundle.  This Bundle comes with a stamp set, not one but TWO ornament punches, PLUS Specialty DSP with copper foil accents.  It’s beautiful!

I finished this one with the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and coordinating Pine Tree Punch from the Annual Catalog.

 

This card was completed using the Gift Wrapped Bundle, which comes with the Gift Bow Builder Punch.  You’ll find it in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.

My last card, and favorite, uses the Poinsettia Petals Bundle.  This Bundle will make poinsettias in different sizes, and mine uses the smallest of the dies.  It also comes with dies to emboss the petals, which is optional, but I really like the embossing.

Now that you’ve seen just how versatile these cards can be, what would you use to finish yours?!

Be sure to see what the other ladies have done with their Christmas DSP by clicking on the links below.  I’m sure it’s something fabulous!

Tuesday Tidbit – Getting the Most from Your Punches

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE punches.  They are quick and easy to use, and they add SO MUCH to your card design.  But, they are an investment, so I like to get my money’s worth from them.

Today’s Tuesday Tidbit will show you how to get more bang for your buck when it comes to your punches.

Watch a quick tip video here!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this Tuesday Tidbit.  I have several more quick videos on my YouTube channel at Jeanne Moss – Bluegrass Stamper.

Jar of Flowers Easel Card

One of my favorite suites in the Annual Catalog is Flowers for Every Season. I just love the Jar of Flowers Bundle, which includes a jar punch.

For this card, I punched the jar shape from a Window Sheet and added it over the jar with glue dots to make it look like glass.  I colored the flowers with Blends and added Wink of Stella to make them sparkle.

An Easel Card is one of the easiest Fun Fold Cards to make.  You simply add an extra score line to the center of the front of the card, then attach your layers only to the bottom half, so that when you bend that extra fold, your card will “stand up”.  You’ll also need to add a popped up piece to the inside, so the “easel” will have something to rest against to keep it standing.

I hope you enjoyed this card.  If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below.  I’d love to hear from you.

Freshly Brewed Blog Hop – I’ve been framed!!

I’m joining the lovely ladies from Australia again this week for the Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop!

This week’s theme is frames, and I can’t wait to see how everyone interprets this in their project.  I decided to share a project I’ll be teaching in a Halloween Décor class this Saturday.  We’ll be using the Ghoulish Goodies Stamp Set, along with a few things from the Magic In This Night Suite.

The frame is 9 x 9.  Our artwork is 8 x 8 (Cajun Craze) layered onto the white mat that came with the frame.  I remove the glass from the frame and place it behind the mat to add stability, and if I want to use the frame for something else later, I don’t have to look for the glass!

The black cat’s eyes, nose and collar are colored with Stampin’ Blends, and there’s a small clear rhinestone tag on his collar.

The bats are cut from black cardstock and painted with Wink of Stella for added sparkle.

A small square of Rich Razzleberry cardstock is embossed with the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder, and the spider is colored with Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends. The silver cord is a vintage product.

I’m excited to have this class and let everyone add a little spookiness to their homes this Halloween.

Here’s the fixin’s:

I hope you’ve enjoyed this project.  Be sure to follow the links below to see what the other ladies did with frames!

Gilded Autumn Stampin’ Surprise

I miss my stamping friends!!  Between the Covid restrictions and building a new house, I’ve been trying to do more events online.

One of the things we’ve been doing is Stampin’ Surprise.  I post a list of the materials needed (with a picture of what I’ll be using), and everyone who participates prepares their own packet.  Then, we get together on Zoom and I TELL them how to make their card.  They don’t get to see a sample or picture of the card they’re making.  They make their card just following the verbal instructions I give them.  Some of my friends are really visual (as am I), so it’s outside the box for them.  But, I’ve had a good time with it, and they seem to enjoy it, too.

This was one of our Stampin’ Surprise cards.  I used the beautiful Gilded Autumn Suite, which is my current favorite.  We followed a sketch design from Mojo Monday.

I just love the little leaf and acorn stamps and punches.  They are quick and easy, and add such a pretty embellishment.

They also are the perfect addition to the inside of the card.

I hope you like this suite as much as I do!  In my next post, I’ll show you all the beautiful cards made by my stampin’ friends!
