Happy Thanksgiving!

November 23, 2023

It’s been a busy few days here at the Moss Home. We always host Thanksgiving for Steve’s family. It’s a lot of work, but it’s always great to get together. Whatever you’re doing for the holiday, I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

From Our Family to Yours

Here’s a picture from last year’s Thanksgiving and a picture of our set up this year.

Autumn Leaves

I thought I’d share a pretty fall project with you today. This one is really pretty easy and uses the Autumn Leaves Bundle. It’s perfect for today.

Instructions

First, cut a Blackberry Bliss card base to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches and score at 4 1/4 on the long side to make your card base.

Next, cut a Very Vanilla panel to 4 x 5 1/4. Stamp the large maple leaf around the edges in Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Blackberry Bliss inks. Attach panel to the card base.

The Details

Cut a piece of Natural Ribbon, shred the ends a bit and attach to the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Stamp greeting in Blackberry Bliss on a scrap of Very Vanilla and cut with the coordinating label die.

Cut a piece of gold foil using the narrow banner die. Snip in half and attach to the back of the label and attach over the ribbon using Dimensionals.

Embellish with gold sequins.

Season of Chic

September 11, 2023

If you’re looking for a stamp set with dies that’s good for every season, look no further than Season of Chic Stamp Set and Chic Dies. This combo has stamps and dies for Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.

Amazing Beyond Measure

My Team is called the Red White and Blue Stampers, and they are all Amazing Beyond Measure. I made these cards to send to them. On our bi-weekly Zoom, I demonstrated how to make the stamped leaf using our watercolor pencils and water painter. I also demonstrated some bow making tips, so this card was perfect to send to them, as it incorporated both!

Season of Chic

With seven sentiments and images for four seasons, Season of Chic is a very versatile Stamp Set.

Chic Dies

This set has dies to cut out the stamped images from Season of Chic, but also dies to cut out details to layer on those images and other coordinating detailed dies.

How It’s Made

Cut Cajun Craze cardstock to 5 ½ x 8 ½ and score at 4 ¼ on the long side. Fold for card base.
Cut a 4 ¼ x 5 ½ panel of Very Vanilla. Cut a piece of scrap paper to 4 ¼ x 5 ½. Cut out the center of scrap paper using the fifth largest Deckled Rectangle Die.
Layer scrap paper (with deckled hole in center) over vanilla panel and secure together (I used a paper clip on the edge). Holding the scrap paper securely, use Blending Brush and Crushed Curry Ink Pad to add color to vanilla panel through the scrap paper’s hole. Remove scrap paper and discard or save for another project. Stamp sentiment on Vanilla panel with Cajun Craze ink.
Cut Very Vanilla panel (with blended center) with largest die from Deckled Rectangles Dies. Attach to card base.
Cut a detailed leaf from Cajun Craze cardstock scrap. Attach to card with glue.
Stamp leaf in Cajun Craze on Watercolor Paper. Color center of leaf with Pumpkin Pie Watercolor Pencil and outer edges with Daffodil Delight Watercolor Pencil. Use Water Painter to blend colors. Cut with coordinating die and attach to card with Dimensionals.
Add a small linen thread bow to leaf with mini glue dot. Color three small rhinestones with Dark Pumpkin Pie Blend and adhere to card.

Hello Harvest Gatefold Box Card

November 21, 2022November 21, 2022

I don’t know about your area, but here in our neck of the woods, we had the most beautiful fall this year. Before I jump back into Christmas projects, I wanted to share this Hello Harvest Gatefold Box Card.

Hello Harvest Bundle/Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper

I used the Hello Harvest Bundle and the Rustic Harvest DSP for this card. I chose my ink and cardstock colors based on the colors in the DSP. One of the great things about Stampin’ Up! is that their products are made to coordinate, and they list the colors used in the DSP, so it’s easy to create beautiful projects.

Gatefold Box Card

This fun fold is called a Gatefold Box Card. When it’s closed, it’s flat and can be mailed in a regular medium envelope, but when it’s open, it becomes a box! You could even put a gift card inside, or another small flat gift.
