The Project Share Project - 10th October 2024

 Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Thursday and welcome to The Project Share Project. Every Thursday we will all share an individual blog post sharing one project from each of the other creators - maybe an inspiring card, a very fancy fun fold or simply a project that made us smile.

Hang an Ornament All is Merry Christmas Cards. Touches of Ink October Blog Hop

 Good Afternoon Everyone,

Today I'm taking part in the Touches of Ink Blog Hop. We hop every month, and we are given pretty much free reign with the theme, but we are encouraged to create with just one suite or bundle.

I have just had the Hang an Ornament bundle delivered - it's fabulous and there's so many possibilities with this set, but I decided on keeping it pretty simple for my cards today. Every year, I create a few simple Christmas Cards that I can easily batch make closer to the time. These little 3x3" are perfect to create - quick, simple and minimal supplies - and a lovely card to receive. 

What do you think?

Measurements (Per Card)

Real Red Card Stock

1pc - 6" x 3", scored at 3"

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"

scrap

-----------------------------------

Take the Real Red Card stock and fold along the score line to create your 3x3" notecard. Add the Basic White piece to the inside to give you somewhere to write a message.

On the card front, add some of the Holly and branch images in Real Red ink - this just gives a little extra interest on the card front - most of the centre section will be covered, so make sure you reach out towards those edges.

Bring in your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and the Bauble die and run through your machine twice on two pieces of scrap. You will notice that the Bauble shape will stay attached to the rest of the card with a few tiny sections of uncut card ( this makes a fun interactive ornament element - which I will show you in a later project, but for now we are keeping things super simple).

Cut or gently pull away the bauble then Stamp the foliage image into the centre using Garden Green ink - adding the sentiment with Real Red Ink.

There's a small cap and hook die in the pack - so run these through your Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine using some gold foil.

Glue these you pieces to the bauble, then attach it all to the card frotn using dimensionals.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today - I had so much fun creating them. As I mentioned earlier - it's a great card to natch make and the key to being super productive with time when batch making is to do all the 'same' steps at the same time - Cut all the card stock at once, glue in all the white card mats, do all the die cutting, do all the same stamping together etc etc. I really does help you get lots made very efficiently.

Please do continue through the hop - we have so many talented contributors to this hop, you are sure to get lots of inspiration. Janice is up next, please do head over to visit her blog.

Creative Colour Challenges - #161

  Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Monday! I know this is a little late, I had a tricky time getting two little kiddies down to bed last night which is becoming more regular than I'd like! But, as they say 'Better late than never? Right?

As you may or may not know - I run the Creative Colour Challenges blog. Each week three Stampin Up Colours are randomly selected and I ask you to create a projects using those colours! Some week's are easier than others - but what I do find is that there's a lot of inspiration given from those who participate, so I thought that on a Sunday, once I have announced the Winner of the Week's Challenge over on Creative Colour Challenges Blog, I'd hop on over here and share the entries with you in the hope that we can give everyone some more inspiration, and I will link to those I can (as anyone can enter, you don't have to have a blog or a website), so It's also my chance to share there work and show some support.
