Lovely Friends SBTD Blog Hop - October 2017

Hello Hivers, 

Welcome to another Stampers By The Dozen Blog Hop.  This month our theme is Masculine.  I find this to be one of the hardest things to design.  I decided to use the Lovely Friends stamp set for all my projects today.

I have made three cards and a little box.  

This first card is using the Coffee Break DSP.  I cut out the sentiment using the Lots of Labels framelits and sponged around the edges with Pear Pizzazz.  

This second card was made with a special person in mind.  He offered my family help during Hurricane Irma.  I just wanted to let him know how much his offer meant to me and my family.

I used the Wood Textures DSP Stack along with Colorful Seasons and Seasonal Layers thinlits.  The Burlap ribbon and Copper Trim are two of my favorites right now.  

Here's a look at the inside and the matching envelope.

 

This last project started out as a simple one.  I like to make boxes, so I thought I would design one with the Masculine theme in mind.  I used the Eastern Palace Specialty DSP along with Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon.  Then I thought I should make the "Gift Box in a Card" that I've been seeing so much of on the internet.  

 

Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Wishes All Aglow - Tree

Hello Hivers, 

Another non-traditional Christmas card.  I love that fact that you can color the Year of Cheer SDSP and it will resist the ink on the embossed portions.  Added some elements from the Swirly Snowflakes and Seasonal Layers thinlits.

Vertical Greetings and Wood Textures DSP Stack

Hello Hivers, 

I seen this card on Pinterest and had to CASE it.  I love the look of the logs peeking out.  I used the Vertical Greetings stamp set for the sentiment and the Seasonal Layers thinlits to add a little sparkle with Gold Foil Sheets.  

Enjoy your day.

Watercolor Christmas with Year of Cheer

Hello Hivers, 

Here is a simple and non-traditonal Christmas card.  I colored the Year of Cheer SDSP with Melon Mambo ink.  I used the Seasonal Layers thinlits to get the scallops on the side. I love the look of the big and small circles together.

Half Full - White Christmas

Hello Hivers, 

Here is my first creation using the Half Full stamp set.  I love all the sentiments in this set.  

I have paired the stamp set with the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper and some Silver Foil paper.  

The inside is the "wow" factor of this card, in my opinion.  You don't expect to open up this card and see all that bright red.  But, I love it.

Spooky Treat Box

Hello Hivers, 

I am having so much fun playing with all my new goodies from the 2017 Holiday Catalog.  I made this treat box using a tutorial I found on YouTube by Sam H.  She is awesome.  This box is pretty roomy.  You can fit a lot of treats inside.  You can't really see it in the pictures, but I heat embossed all the stamped images.

Color Theory Boxed Set

Hello Hivers,

I have been seeing these "Side Panel Cards" all over Pinterest.  I was inspired by Angelina, a demonstrator in the UK.

I used the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack along with the Colorful Seasons stamp set to create these cards. I even made matching envelopes and a box to put them all in.

Some of the cards have ribbon some have card stock in place of the ribbon.  For a little dazzle, I added the Glitter Enamel Dots and flowers cut from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits.





Measurements:

Black Base: 4" x 11" Score at: 1/2", 2", 4", 5.5"
Berry Burst: 3.75" x 5.25" ( x 2 pieces)
Whisper White (or DSP): 3.5" x 5" ( x 2 pieces)

Berry Burst: 2.75" x 5.5" Score at: 1/2" and 2"
