Llama Mini Blog Hop

Many of our Hop friends are busy this time around so we are have a Mini Hop. We are sharing items from the Holiday Catalog.

My first two cards are birthday card using items from both catalogs.
  • The card base is Very Vanilla.
  • I used the wood paneling from Truly Grateful stamp set found on page 19 of the Holiday Catalog to stamp the card base with Baked Brown Sugar.  I also stamped it on Baked Brown Sugar CS that I cut as a banner flag.
  • I cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler CS as a banner flag.
  • I stamped the phrase from the Hostess set Express Yourself in Cherry Cobbler on a strip of Very Vanilla CS, then cut it as a banner flag.
  • I stacked the flags starting with the Cherry Cobbler flag, than added a piece of Natural Trim, than the Baked Brown Sugar flag, last the Very Vanilla flag.  I added the largest button from Naturals Designer Buttons with Linen Thread threaded through the holes. Adding it all to the card base,

The

  • The card base is Whisper White with a front of DSP from Season of Style DSP Stack found on page 22 of the Holiday Catalog.
  • I stamped the phrase from Bring On the Cake in Cherry Cobbler on a scrap of Whisper White and cut it out with the Circle Collection Framelits, I layered it onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler CS cut the next size larger and added it to the card front. 
  • I layered Season of Style Designer Washi tape on a scrap of Whisper White CS and punched 2 circles with the 3/4" Circle Punch. I covered a retired button with a second strip of tape from the same bundle. I threaded Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine through the button Holes. I added them overlapping on the sentiment,


  • The card base is Whisper White, I ran it through the Big Shot cutting an opening with the Labels Collection Framelits. I ran it through a second time in the Petals a Plenty Embossing Folder. I added a piece of Seasons of Style DSP on the inside of of the front of the card.
  • On the piece of Whisper White CS cut out from the front of the card I stamped the phrase from Christmas Messages found on page 34 of the Holiday catalog. I stamped it with Versamark and heat embossed it with a mixture of Cherry Cobbler EP mix with a little bit of Dazzling Diamonds to make it sparkle. I re-cut the piece with the next smaller Framelit. I then popped it up with Dimensionals on the DSP.
I hope you enjoy our small hop, the bloggers are:
