Ornamental Christmas Bundle - Power of 3's Technique - Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamping With Friends Blog Hop! There are many different projects as this month we are showing the Power of 3's technique. There are some fabulous samples. Be sure to "hop" all the way around to see every demonstrator's blog post! 😊

It's All About The Power Of 3's!  

What does that mean? It means 3 patterns of DSP, 3 images and 3 embellishments all on one card. How fabulous! Can you see all of the elements that there are 3 of in my card? 

The MODERN CHRISTMAS DSP has such beautiful touches of gold paired with black and white. Doesn't make an elegant Christmas card? I loved the touches of gold so much that I wanted to carry the gold to the inside by adding a strip of the GOLD FOIL Sheets on the inside along with the fancy script "Merry Christmas" sentiment from the ORNAMENTAL CHRISTMAS Bundle. 

Want to see how this card was made? Take a look at my how-to video on my Stamp With Joy YouTube Channel: 

And let's take one last look at this fun and elegant card:

Season of Chic - Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop -Autumn

 

Autumn/Fall is the theme of this month's Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. As you hop around to all of the participants, I'm sure you will find some great inspiration from several talented Stampin' Up! demonstrators! 

Autumn is my favorite Season 

I decided to use the fabulous multi-occasion SEASON OF CHIC Bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies) which is part of the TEXTURE CHIC Suite of products. This suite of products also includes the pretty TEXTURE CHIC Specialty Designer Paper (DSP) and the DISTRESSED GOLD Specialty Paper. With such beautiful products, how can you not make a gorgeous card?

Now I'm going to tell you a couple of tips to get the most of your products. 

When you want to mat your DSP with another color---like this DISTRESSED GOLD Specialty Paper---and also use that paper as a layer on another element, be sure to punch out what you need from the layer before attaching your DSP on top. 
This gives you optimal use of your paper. 

To give your punched focal element a matching layer with the same punch: 

1. take your punched layer and cut it in half in the middle.
2. attach the top half of your punched piece to the top of your stamped focal punch
3. attach the bottom half of your punched piece to the bottom of your stamped focal image

Your finished image will look like the one in the close up picture shown below. 

To give my card the desired fall season look, I stamped the detailed leaf images in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla cardstock. Then I stamped the more solid leaf image in 3 colors---Pumpkin Pie, Soft Succulent and Soft Suede (stamped off once)---on top of the detailed stamped leaf. The leaves were then die cut with the coordinating CHIC Dies. 

I embellished my card with EARLY ESPRESSO FAUX SUEDE TRIM (tied in a knot rather than a bow) and the BRUSHED METALLIC DOTS.

Here's a final look at my Autumn-themed card project:
