Reindeer Fun Bundle for the Tag Sketch Challenge- Inspirations In Ink- November 2024

Here is my Reindeer Fun Bundle Tag for the Inspiration in Ink Tag Sketch Challenge!

Welcome! Thank you for visiting Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts! I am Theresa, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Arizona, USA. Today is the monthly Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop! I am excited to be hopping with such talented demonstrators today!

Today is a Sketch Challenge for a tag instead of a card! Be sure to check out everyone’s projects. For my project, I used the Reindeer Fun Bundle from the 2024 Holiday Mini Catalog. When you are ready, you may order from my Online Store HERE.

I chose the Reindeer Fun Bundle because I wanted to have the reindeer as part of my tag. I decided to make him leaping over the tree tops! The Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (DSP) came in handy for that.

Measurements

  • Pecan Pie cardstock tag base: 3″ x 5″
  • Sentimental Christmas DSP: Snowflake Design: 2 3/4″ x 4 3/4″
  • Basic White cardstock: 1/2″ x 3″ (sentiment) and 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ (to stamp the snowflake, deer and bells)
  • Shaded Spruce cardstock: 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ (for wreath)
  • Winter Meadow DSP: Tree design, 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ to die cut with a Deckled Circle Die

Supplies

  • Stamp Set: Reindeer Fun, Snowy Wonder and Greetings of the Season
  • Dies: Reindeer Fun and Deckled Circles
  • Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad, Real Red Ink Pad and Pecan Pie Ink Pad
  • Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Light & Dark Pecan Pie, Medium Combo Pack, Medium Deep Combo Pack and Medium Light Combo Pack for the deer, and Light & Dark Wild Wheat for the bells.
  • Stampin’ Write Marker: Real Red to color the ribbon on the bells
  • Embellishment: Iridescent Faceted Gems
  • Ribbon: Real Red & Gold 3/8″ Dotted Ribbon and Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack (both are Online Exclusives)

Instructions

  1. Line up the Pecan Pie Snowflake DSP and the Pecan Pie cardstock so the top edges are even. On the back of the Pecan Pie cardstock, make a mark 3/4″ in from each side on the top, and 3/4″ down from the top on each side. Cut between the two marks to make the tag top.
  2. Separate the DSP and cardstock. Adhere the DSP so that there is a border all the way around.
  3. Stamp the leaping deer and bells onto the Basic White cardstock with Memento Ink, Color with the Stampin’ Blends Markers as desired. Die cut the deer and bells.
  4. Use the Real Red Ink to stamp “Merry Christmas” onto the strip of Basic White cardstock.
  5. Stamp “To:” and “From:” from the Greetings of the Season stamp set onto the back of the Pecan Pie cardstock tag base.
  1. Use the Pecan Pie Ink to stamp the snowflake from the Snowy Wonder stamp set onto the Basic White cardstock. Die cut it out with one of the Deckled Circle Dies.
  2. Die cut a 2 1/2″ diameter circle with the Deckled Circle Dies from the Winter Meadow DSP.
  3. Position all of the pieces on the front of the Pecan Pie cardstock/snowflake DSP tag base.
  4. Adhere the Pecan Pie snowflake first.
  5. Then use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Winter Meadow DSP.
  6. Add the wreath and bells.
  7. Now use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the deer and sentiment.
  8. Punch a hole in the top of the tag. Pull the Real Red & Gold 3/8″ Dotted Ribbon through the hole. Tie the Gold trim around the ribbon into a bow.
  9. Embellish with the Iridescent Faceted Gems. I placed the gems in the center of the snowflakes. The photos do not show them very well.

Voila!

Still looking for a gift for the Holidays? Consider giving a gift card in a thank you note! This Snowflake Wishes Thank You Fun Fold Friday Gift Card Holder is a great gift for anyone who helps you out on a regular basis. For example, the young man who mows your lawn, the housekeeper, the bank teller, the mail/package delivery person, the grocery clerk- you get the idea. Everyone loves to be appreciated, especially during the holidays!

Measurements

Snowflake Wishes Fun Fold Friday Thank You Card

  • Gorgeous Grape Card Stock (CS): 4 1/4 x 11 inches scored at 2 1/2 and 5 1/2 inches and 2 3/4 x 4 inches.
  • Highland Heather CS: 4 x 6 inches.
  • Basic White CS: 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 inches and 4 x 5 1/4 inches.
  • One Wonderful Snowflake

Links to the supplies are listed at the end of this blog.

Stamping Your Own Designer Series Paper (DSP)

Start out by stamping the largest snowflake in Highland Heather Ink onto the 4 x 6 inch Highland Heather CS. Then Stamp Off once when stamping the next to the largest snowflake.

Next use the Gorgeous Grape Ink and the medium sized snowflakes to stamp in the empty spaces.

To finish this card piece, stamp in Misty Moonlight Ink using the group of tiny snowflakes. This may not look great at this point, but when it is cut up and adhered to the card it will look fantastic!

More Stamping

The next step is to stamp the front of the card. Start by using the Misty Moonlight Ink to stamp the sentiment “Thank You Snow Much” onto the 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 inch Basic White CS. Then Stamp Off once using the largest snowflake with Highland Heather Ink. Using the next to the largest snowflake, stamp at full strength using Highland Heather Ink.

Use the Gorgeous Grape Ink to stamp a medium sized snowflake around the edges.

Finish this card piece by stamping the group of medium snowflakes in Misty Moonlight Ink.

Use the Misty Moonlight Ink with the group of medium snowflakes to stamp around the upper left-hand corner of the 4 x 5 1/4 inch Basic White CS. This will be the inside of the card.

Assembling the Snowflake Wishes Thank You Gift Card Holder

The first step is to cut up the DSP that you made. Cut at 2 1/4 inches and 3 1/4 inches.

Fold the Gorgeous Grape CS card base at the 5 1/2 inch score line. Then fold at the 2 1/2 inch score line. Adhere the 2 3/4 x 4 inch DSP to the left and the 2 1/4 x 4 inch DSP to the right.

Adhere the 4 x 5 1/4 inch Basic White CS to the inside. Then adhere the 1 x 4 inch DSP to the right-hand side of the Basic White CS.

Punch the end with the Label Me Lovely Punch to create a notch.

Turn the card front over and apply Tear & Tape Adhesive to the upper and lower edges. Tip: Use the Take Your Pick tool to peel the protective cover off.

Fold the card front to adhere the edges and make the pocket for the gift card.

Adhere the Basic White CS card front to the corresponding Gorgeous Grape CS. Lay on the front of the card base to get positioning.

Tip: Flip the card front over to see where to adhere the Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches

Add a finishing touch by applying the Wonderful Snowflake.

And of course-add Bling! The Rhinestone Basic Jewels will add some extra sparkle!

Voila! Such a wonderful way to thank those around you!

Kylie’s International Blog Highlights Gallery- December 2021- Stampin’ Up!® Snowflake Wishes Thank You card

Today I am taking part in Kylie Bertucci’s Monthly International Blog Highlights Gallery. The theme is- Thank You. It is so important to thank those who inspire us. Those who help us out. Those who have our back.

On this gallery, you can see thank you cards made by people from all over the world! I hope you enjoy my Snowflake Wishes Thank You card and take the time to see everyone else’s inspiring creations by visiting the gallery. You can get to the gallery by selecting the “Vote For Me” button at the end of this blog.

The Thank You sentiment if from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set. All of the stamped snowflakes are from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set. The Stampin’ Up! color is Pacific Point. I ended up with several packages of the Wonderful Snowflakes, so I really wanted to make a card with them.

Using the Blending Brushes

To create the background I used the Blending Brush with Pacific Point Ink on Basic White Card Stock (CS). A few tips:

  1. Gently swirl the Blending Brush on the ink pad in a circular motion.
  2. Touch your scrap paper before blending the color onto your Basic White CS.
  3. Move the Blending Brush in a circular motion with light pressure, then medium pressure as the color leaves the brush.
  4. Go slow to keep the color blending on smoothly. You will need many layers.
  5. The Blending Brushes do take some practice. My goal is to eventually have a very smooth transition of color.

The Wonderful Snowflakes are super fun! When the light hits just right you see a rainbow!

I added lots of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels for sparkle! Voila! Such a pleasant Thank You card to send off!

Please vote for my card when you visit the Gallery by selecting the “Vote For Me” button below. Thank you!

Ciao!

Stampin’ Up!® Snowflake Wishes Christmas Card

Welcome to my blog today! I have a card that I am submitting to the Cardz4Guyz Challenge #284 Gingham, Checks or Plaid. I had a lot of fun with this card. I wanted to use the Wonderful Snowflakes which are laser-cut snowflakes from an iridescent white paper. They are so beautiful!

I also used the So Many Snowflakes Dies to cut smaller snowflakes from the scrap left behind after punching the Wonderful Snowflakes out. Stampin’ Up! colors used are Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.

The Snowflake Wishes stamp set has many snowflakes in different sizes. It also has a great sentiment that goes along with the snowflakes-“May Your Season Sparkle”. The sentiment inside is “Snowflake Wishes for a Merry Christmas”.

I made my own plaid by taking the black and white gingham from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper and drawing a Bermuda Bay line over the center of the white column. I used the Pool Party Stampin’ Blend Alcohol maker on some of the the grey gingham squares to add more color.

The scalloped rectangle is a die from the Scalloped Contours Dies. And I added just a little Bling! with the Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

Stop by the Cardz4Guyz HERE to see more cards entered in the Challenge #284 Gingham, Checks and Plaid.

Stampin’ Up!® Wonderful Snowflakes Season’s Greetings

Although I am not quite ready for Christmas cards, I couldn’t resist using the Wonderful Snowflakes as part of my card for The Paper Players Color Challenge PP567.

Here is my card:

This is a Slim Line card. The card base measures 8 1/2 x 7 inches with a score line at 3 1/2 inches. The scalloped rectangle in the background is not a Stampin’ Up! product, but I hear tell that there are some Slim Line Dies in the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2022 Jan-June Mini Catalog!

The Wonderful Snowflakes are iridescent! The greeting from the Christmas To Remember stamp set is embossed with Silver Emboss Powder. The embossed snowflakes behind the sentiment are from the Time of Giving stamp set. The ribbon is the White 1/4 inch Crinkled Seam Binding in the Stampin’ Up! 2021-22 Annual Catalog.

I added a lot of Bling! using the Rhinestone Basic Jewels. There are 16 rhinestones on this card!

I love to enter The Paper Player Challenges because I need to push myself to imagine and think outside of my usual modus operandi. I find that I create cards in a new and exciting way.

Voila! That is it for today! Thanks for stopping by. Stop by The Paper Players and see the other entries to the Color Challenge PP567 HERE

Have a most wonderful day!
