Stamp Review Crew: 2021 Fall Sale-a-bration



The Stamp Review Crew has a bonus hop this month!  The format is a little different for this hop.  Instead of each member creating with the same stamp set as we usually do this time we are all using different Sale-a-bration products.   As always though we are archiving the hop for future reference.  Please click on the banner below to see past hops and to check out the bios of the crew members.



I chose to focus on the cute Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper.  The images are so happy you can't help but smile when playing with this fun paper!  A word of caution... the little guys are addicting and you will end up with more and more projects!





This is the project that started the fussy cutting frenzy!  I wanted to replace the penguin that was originally on the sled with the little bunny.  I added a tiny "rug" made of ribbon, made a few changes to the bunny's expression with a marker and gave her a purple scarf. 

A Christmas ornament for a special couple:)



This is a small framed piece with an easel back.  I have a previous video for making this type of mitered frame (see the bottom of the post for the video).  Start with a 6 inch by 7 inch piece of Designer Series Paper to make this size frame.

Don't you just want to hug this polar bear?!



This card uses the Stitched So Sweetly die for the green inset and popped-up border.  A very quick way to add dimension.

It's so hot today I would love to build a snowman!


Once I was on a roll cutting the little critters out I decided to cut out a few more and make a little 3D snow scene with a folded Christmas tree.  I made a video of how to make the tree.  (See the bottom of the post.)

These will be cute for winter decor even past Christmas!

Stamp Review Crew: Quiet Meadow Edition



Hello and welcome to the latest Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop!   Our international crew highlights one Stampin' Up stamp set on each blog hop.  Hops are the first and third Mondays of the month and are a great way to get lots of ideas for using a set!   

If you click on the banner below you will be taken to the Stamp Review Crew website which has a complete list crew members and you can see all the past hops as well.

Our stamp set this time is the Quiet Meadow set which had a complimentary set of dies that really enhance the beauty of the stamped images.    


The Meadow diecuts are the main attraction of this white-on-white wedding card.




The card has loads of texture from the embossed frame
 to the background Linen Speciality Paper.   



The stamped text is softened by covering it
with an identical diecut vellum overlay.
