to create the cute Happy Holidays tags, I stamped the dot stamp (in the My Paper Pumpkin Kit) on the white tags included in the kit, then punched out the Happy Holidays letters from the other tags in the kit and layered the 2 together!

GOT SCRAPS? How is this for a GREAT TIP!!!???  I learned this cute little design trick from one of my customers!!  Thanks, Aileen!! She added a strip of DSP to the inside of a card she mailed to me and I thought.. WOW.. I've got TONS of small strips/scraps so why not add a pretty little touch to the inside of a card!?

I like to add a light color of cardstock inside any dark card anyway.. so this is just the perfect touch to dress that up! :)

Need help designing your Christmas Card?

 

I'd love to help you design your Christmas card this season and help you with the supply list so that you get the most out of your cardstock, paper, accessories and ribbon.  I love figuring out measurements and how best to cut paper to get the most out of a pack of paper :)

Christmas Card designs

If you are stuck for a design idea, you can use one of the Creative Challenge Club Sketches as a starting point, then imagine them in Christmas Colors with Christmas stamps and paper. 

I'd be happy to work with you on an idea and then figure out how many packages of paper and accessories you'll need based on your Christmas Card List.

CHRISTMAS INSPIRATION:

Check out all the great products in the Holiday Catalog for inspiration. Need a catalog? let me know!

I know.. you are thinking.. she's getting a little brave here... the sketch shows a rectangle and Patty used a circle!  Yep.. steppin' out of the box just a little here.. I just really liked this Hello There greeting in a circle better, so I punched it out with my 2-1/2" circle punch.

Darling Doily Creative Challenge Club Card

 

It's Monday again and time to play along with our Creative Challenge Club Sketch!

This is my card submission for CCC-17 as part of the Design Team for CCC.

My card submission features the Darling Doily Thinlit from page 228 of the Stampin' Up! Catalog. You can also view/purchase it in my online store here.

Darling-doily-joy-card-stampin-up-ccc17

CCC-17 Use this sketch as inspiration and Upload YOUR submission Here.

CCC17-001

The background paper I used is one of the beautiful prints in the All Is Calm DSP package found on pg 22 in the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.

Darling-doily-joy-pearl-card-stampin-up

Did you see the row of pearls?  I never know what to do with all those pearls that are adhered together in the package of pearls, so this was a great way to use them!

JOY is die cut with the Big Shot using a framelit from the Wonderful Wreath die packet, found on pg 9 of the Holiday Catalog or here in my online store.

The secret to using these thinlits and framelits is definitely the Stampin' Up! Transfer Adhesive Sheets (shown on the left in the photo below) and found on pg 204 in the catalog.  Without those, this project would be, shall we say, a bit of a pain. Luckily with the Transfer Adhesive Sheets, adhering the die cut images to the project is a snap!

Peel the backing and place a piece of Adhesive sheet to your cardstock, then place that on the clear cutting plate in your Big Shot. Put a piece of Waxed Paper over the cardstock. Place the framelit on top of the waxed paper.  Place a Clear Cutting plate on top of that and run it through the Big Shot with your Platform or Magnetic Plate.  You will love how easily it pops out and how you can peel the other layer off the adhesive sheet and adhere JOY to your project!

Festival of Trees Creative Challenge Club Card

 

LAST DAY!!  {{stock up and save sale!}}

--------------

Monday = time to play along with our Creative Challenge Club Sketch!

This is my card submission for CCC-16 as part of the Design Team for CCC.

My card features several new Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog products.. you can see all of them at the bottom of this post.  Don't you love the Festival of Trees stamp set and punch bundle! I do!  You'll find it on pg 24 of the Holiday Catalog.

Below: our card sketch this week:  CCC-16. Use this sketch as inspiration and Upload YOUR submission Here.

CCC16

When I was asked to be a part of this design team 16 weeks ago, it was the first time I had ever created anything from a sketch.  I was really worried about the "rules" and wasn't sure if you had to copy the sketch exactly or what?  But I started studying the other Design Team member submissions and realized that the sketch is a SUGGESTION and it's supposed to be inspiration.. so this week I let myself go with the Festival of Trees Tree Punches instead of the hearts on the sketch! :)

Yay! I did it! :)

Festival-of-trees-tree-punch-star-card

135845-santa-and-copmany-embellishments

The Santa and Co. epoxy embellishments (found on pg 29 Holiday Catalog) are super adorable!!  I had never used embellies like this until I bought these, and I think these are pretty fun!  I used it to hold down my greeting banner on this card! CLICK HERE to see another cute way to use these!

I also love the bright Real Red paper from the Santa & Co. DSP package!! so festive! (pg 29 Holiday Catalog)

Festival-of-trees-under-the-tree-punch-stampin-up-card

The dots are from the Festival of Trees stamp set, and I stamped them in Real Red on the punched out trees.  The trees and the polka dot paper behind them are found in the Under the Tree Specialty DSP pack (pg 5 Holiday Catalog).

Creative Challenge Club Sketch CCC15 Color Me Autumn

 

I don't know about you but the weeks are flying by this year! Can you believe it's almost October!?

It's Monday again and it's time for another Creative Challenge Club Sketch!

Color-me-autumn-accents-hello-card-stampin-up

I used the Autumn Accents Bigz Big Shot die to create my leaves, and a piece of Under the Tree DSP for my background tag.  You might recognize the black and white strip under the leaves, .. directions are in  THIS POST.

CREATIVE CHALLENGE CLUB SKETCH CCC15

CCC15-001

Please play along with us this week... view the Design Team cards and upload YOUR card on our blog today! :) click here!

  Color-me-autumn-accents-hello-card-stampin-up-2

I used the Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze papers from the Color Me Autumn DSP package (pg 41 Holiday catalog) to die cut the leaves, then sponged the edges with Pumpkin Pie ink.  Hello is stamped in Early Espresso on the Color Me Autumn paper with a stamp from Four You (pg 19 annual catalog).

Color-me-autumn-accents-hello-card-stampin-up-3

The tag was created with a 2" wide strip of Under the Tree paper (pg 5 Holiday catalog) and the Angled Tag Topper Punch. Tangerine Tango twine gives a pop of color and helps balance out the strip of Back to Black paper, too.

Creative Challenge Club Sketch CCC13 Project Life Card

 

Monday rolls around so quickly... doesn't it?  How does that happen?

Well, that being said, Monday Means it's Creative Challenge Club Day!

Join us on our CCC Blog for sketch challenge 13!

Project-life-happiness-is-heart-punch-card

For my card today, I decided to start with a Project Life by Stampin' Up! card (pg 189, #135307), then add my heart punch outs to it and stamp Thank You on it. I also added a strip of paper from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper pack as well as 2 candy dots.  The lines, arrows and little hearts were printed on the card.  If you prefer to stamp it all, you can nearly recreate this design with the Project Life Point & Click stamp set on pg 27 (#135787).

Creative Challenge Club Sketch CCC12 An Open Heart

 

CREATIVE CHALLENGE CLUB COLOR SKETCH CCC12

An Open Heart card by Patty Bennett

An-open-heart-holiday-cheer-typeset-dsp-stampin-up-card-2

Did you see all the great cards that were uploaded in response to last weeks Creative Challenge Club Color Challenge??  Wowza.. GREAT cards everyone!!  View them here!

Please play along with us this week... view the Design Team cards and upload YOUR card on our blog today! :) click here!

So I may have taken a little liberty with the color scheme for our challenge this week, but I HAD to add a pop of red on this card.. the berries HAD to be red, and then that yummy new red ribbon on pg 15 of the Holiday Catalog is to die for... I just HAD to add it.

CCC12-001

Add your card to our Creative Challenge Club here!

I wasn't really sure where I was going with this card idea, but I started by stamping the branch in Old Olive onto the Typeset Designer Paper from Stampin' Up!.  I shaded it in lightly with a blender pen and then used the blender pen to also color the berries in Cherry Cobbler.

An-open-heart-holiday-cheer-typeset-dsp-stampin-up

So, do you want to hear something funny?

When I saw the color combo for today's challenge.. I had to look at all my ink pads because I thought Marina Mist had retired!! LOL .. I have not used it in SO long that it had fallen right off my radar!  But, it seemed the perfect color for my little birdie!

An-open-heart-holiday-cheer-typeset-dsp-stampin-up-bird

Yes, I cut the birdie out after stamping him in Marina Mist on Very Vanilla cardstock, but with the amazing Stampin' Up! Paper Snips, it's realy not a chore to fussy-cut.

So, here is how I used the 3 colors in the sketch challenge:

Old Olive: branch stamp

Marina Mist: bird stamp

Soft Suede: Card base

An-open-heart-holiday-cheer-typeset-dsp-stampin-up-note-tag

Don't you think this sweet tag is just the perfect touch for this card?

I punched with the new Note Tag punch and Very Vanilla cardstock, and stamped it with Old Olive ink and "holiday cheer" from the Cheerful Tags stamp set (pg 5 Holiday Catlog) and the branch stamp from An Open Heart (pg119 annual catalog).

An-open-heart-holiday-cheer-typeset-dsp-stampin-up-tag

 I cut the Typeset paper piece to 3-3/4" x about 4-1/2" and layered it onto a piece of Very Vanilla, and layered that onto the folded Soft Suede folded card.

I added a strip of Washi Tape from the "All is Calm" selection (pg 22 Holiday catalog) and finished it off with some Venetian Crochet Trim (pg 206 annual catalog).

 

Now.. what will YOU create? Upload it here!

Do you need a Holiday Catalog?  I have heard that several of my customers have not recieved the Holiday Catalogs that the Stampin' Up! mailing service sent out.. so if you have not received one, please let me know. In the mean time

Ccc11-patty-bennett

My Submission for this week features the FOR ALL THINGS stamp set on page 41 of the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog, along with the Color Me Autumn pape and the pumpkin from Fall Fest (pg 46). Shop the Holiday Catalog in my online store!

Here is the CCC11 sketch/color challenge for this week everyone:

CCC11-001

Create your project using this color combo, and upload it on our Creative Challenge Club blog! We'd love to see what you create!

Color-me-autumn-fall-for-all-leaf-stampin-up

Ccc11-color-combo-stampin-up I stamped the leaf from the FOR ALL THINGS stamp set on pg 41 in the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog onto the COLOR ME AUTUMN paper (same page) with Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry ink.  You can see in the photo above that the paper has sort of a watercolor wash background printed on it, so the leaves show up with really pretty textures and colorations. 

I stamped the pumpkin from FALL FEST (pg 46 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog) in Pumpkin Pie ink onto the same paper and die cut it with the fabulous matching FUN FALL FRAMELIT dies.  The leaf is stamped in Old Olive which is my Bonus Color for this theme, and die cut with the same framelit set.

I stamped on a Scalloped Tag Topper punch tag and added Pumpkin Pie ribbon to finish off the simple card.  Card layers are Pumpkin Pie and Island Indigo, per the color challenge theme this week.

Now.. what will YOU create? Upload it here!

Do you need a Holiday Catalog?  I have heard that several of my customers have not recieved the Holiday Catalogs that the Stampin' Up! mailing service sent out.. so if you have not received one, please let me know. In the mean time

How sweet is this new heart border punch!!?  I love it!

Hearts-border-punch-stampin-up

As you can see, I placed some Hello Honey cardstock inside the card so that the hearts would show up more on the front.

Hearts-border-punch-stampin-up-cardstock-inside

The hearts are stamped with Lost Lagoon and Hello Honey ink on Whisper White cardstock, then punched with the beautiful Sweetheart punch and added to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals... I love how that adds some extra POP to the card.

Did you see that I added 2 of the sweet little Lost Lagoon hearts from the border punch to the bottom of the card next to the sentiment?  :)  eeeks.. that is just too cute!

Did you catch my discussion on Facebook the other day to see what makes my heart go Boom Boom Boom?  :)

Creative Challenge Club Sketch CCC08 Tap Tap Tap

 

It's MONDAY!! You know what that means...

It's time for another creative challenge.. this week our

Creative Challenge Club Sketch is a Fun One!

  Ccc08-patty-bennett

Above: My creation based on the CCC08 sketch featuring the Tap Tap Tap Stampin' Up! stamp set

Below: the CCC08 Sketch

CCC08-001

I just love the combo of the typewriter stamp from Tap Tap Tap (pg 126) with the Typeset Designer paper (pg 184).  So I thought why not line the envelope, too!?  I used the Envelope Liner framelits (pg 231) with my Big Shot and the the medium size framelit in the set fits the Stampin' Up! Note cards perfectly.

Have you tried the Crumb Cake Note Cards? They are new this year.. they come with matching envelopes.. I love them!  You can find them on pg 194, ordering code #133766.

  Tap-tap-tap-blendabilities-stampin-up-typewriter-card

I punched the circles with the 2" circle punch and the 2-1/2" circle punch but you could also use the circle framelits if you prefer.

I also stamped the typewriter keys image on the note card and tied it up with Baked Brown Sugar Thick Baker's Twine.

I stamped the typewriter stamp in Memento Black ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and colored it with the Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana Blendabilities markers.

It just took a little bit to cut it out with Paper Snips.. not too bad, then I mounted it onto my card.

Creative Challenge Club Sketch CCC07 Sweetbriar Rose

Play along and upload YOUR creation to the Creative Challenge Club page!

To create this card using the color combo of Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede, Eggplant Envy, Crumb Cake and Wisteria Wonder, this is what I did ...

1. I stamped the Sweetbriar Rose stamp (on pg 170) in Pear Pizzazz on Whisper White cardstock, and used my Soft Suede marker to color in the words on the stamp before stamping on the cardstock. 

2.  I stamped the image again in Memento black ink on Wisteria Wonder cardstock.  I used my Wisteria Wonder Blendabilities to color in just the flowers.  I cut out the flowers and mounted them with Dimensionals over the Pear Pizzazz image.

3. I used a Blender pen dipped in Pear Pizzazz ink to color in the leaves and stems.

Blendabilities-sweetbriar-rose-stampin-up-blender-pens

Here are the colored flowers mounted on the Pear Pizzazz image... kinda pretty!

4. I mounted the Whisper White piece onto Eggplant Envy and then onto a folded Crumb Cake card to use the last 2 colors in the challenge.
