Artisan Post #18 - Secret Santas

The 2023 Artisan Design Team did some "Secret Santa stamping." To kick off the spirit of the season we each drew names and then cased a project made by the name of the person we drew. I drew the coolest name ever! I love her stampin' style, however it was hard to pick one project of hers because they are all so filled with fabulous details. Can you guess who I cased?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Berdien Weideveld! I tried to channel Berdien's impeccable style. I layered circles and squares to set the stage for layers of playful flowers and a cheerful bee.

Sentimental Park Bi-Fold Card

It's that time again for another Monday Montage Blog Hop. Since we are all stampin' fans and "dear friends" I thought I would share a bi-fold card featuring the Sentimental Park Bundle and the Regency Park Suite Collection.

I took my color palette cues right from the Regency Park 6" x 6" DSP. It's a bit unexpected combination of colors. I would put Night of Navy and Petal Pink together, but would not have thought to use Shaded Spruce. It's a refreshing change that adds a bit more spark than say Pear Pizzazz or Old Olive.

When you open the card you see what I call a second card front.

Here's a look at the inside of the card front. I glued the DSP to create a pocket. Now here's the bummer. I forgot to take a photo of the inside of the card. When you open the "you're amazing inside panel there is a Basic White with more stampin'. If I get my act together I get a pic taken and added to this post.

Thanks for stopping in for our Monday Montage Blog Hop. Next in the hop is Emily or if you prefer working back you can visit with Dani.

Making Birthday Cards for Stampin' Fancy Friday

For this birthday card I used the Fancy Flora DSP as a motivator for my color palette and style. I included a bit of shabby and distressed details to complete this rather feminine and flowery card with the Petal Park Bundle and Sentimental Park Stamp Set.

#TGIF409 Layered Shapes

For #TGIF409 we are layering shapes. I grabbed my most used set of shape dies, Stylish Shapes, to create a geometric shaped layered background for some punched flowers.

#TGIF407 Like An Animal

It's sketch time at #TGIF407. I grabbed the pack of Like An Animal Specialty DSP to match the sketch. Then I added scraps from my stamp desk to zhuzh it up a bit.

Along with the Basic Grey and Silver Foil colors I have used Rose Gold, Petal Pink, and Blushing Bride. The flowers were punched with the Petal Park Punch and the centers are the pinkish purple Milky Dots. The other dies include Organic Beauty, Cottage Flowers, and Stylish Shapes. The greeting comes from the Sentimental Park Stamp Set. So, you see this is really a "card salad." I used up scraps from my desk!

Creation Station is Simple and Sweet

Happy February and welcome to our Creation Station Blog Hop. This month's theme is "Simple and Sweet." With that theme we could craft anything we could dream up. We just needed to be inspired by the idea of "simple and sweet."

My idea was to create a fuss-free layer-free breezy style card and then a second card to match that would be just a bit more embellished with sweet punched and/or die cut details. To bring my ideas to fruition I pulled out the Petal Park and Sentimental Park Bundles. I decided I would go classic and stamp on Basic White. My ink colors include Soft Seafoam and Calypso Coral.

For this first simple card I used the Petal Park Stamp Set and the matching Petal Park Builder Punch. I had just a bit of Calypso Coral Baker's Twine leftover from a Paper Pumpkin Kit.  Just enough for a shoestring bow for each card.

For this second card I added a die cut to layer behind three hand-punched and scrunched flowers. The ornate label die cut is from the Sentimental Park Dies.

Here's a close up of the Petal Park Builder Punch flowers. Each is finished with a large Iridescent Rhinestone.

I'm so happy you have visited with me today. Continue along with our Creation Station Blog Hop to get your fill of "stampinpiration." Next up is the lovely Barb Pfeffer Be sure to see what "Simple and Sweet" surprise she has for you.
