No doubt you’ve seen the ‘scrappy strip’ technique that’s been all the rage in the paper crafting world. Well, I just had to give it a try, because I love the beautiful patterns in the Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Papers.

Here’s my card:

I got my inspiration from a fun video by Bruno and Kylie Bertucci: https://www.kyliebertucci.com/2020/03/brunos-scrappy-strip-technique-video.html AND Helen Read, who created a beautiful design of her own: http://allthingsstampy.blogspot.com/2021/09/scrappy-strip-technique-and-mosaic.html

It’s a simple 4-step technique.

• 1. Cut a panel to fit your card (I make my 1/4″ smaller than my card front, so that’s 5 1/4″ by 4″.
• 2. Prepare four pieces of cardstock or Designer Series Paper – I cut four six inch square pieces, or a quarter sheet of regular card stock.
• 3. Cut these four panels into irregular strips, from 1/4″ to 1″ on one side, and at a slant or aigonal — you choose your look!
• 4. Assemble these strips onto your panel and trim off the excess.
• 5. Add your panel of scrappy strips to your card base, and you’re done!

I used a card base of Blackberry Bliss card stock cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4.” The sentiment panel is from the Scalloped Contours Dies, and the Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Sweet as a Peach Stamp Set.

It’s that simple! And that pretty! Think of all the cards you can create using our beautiful DSP! I hope you liked my project! All the products you need to create this yourself can be found at the end of this post.

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Fantastic Fun Folds and 3D Projects. We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I love to bring a bottle of wine or cider to a holiday gathering, so just in time for the holidays, I have made some fun wine gift boxes. I’m sure you’ve seen samples of handmade wine boxes before, but I decided to make an updated version using current Stampin’ Up! products. They’re SO FUN to make! This one would be perfect to take as a Host Gift to a Thanksgiving dinner:

I got my inspiration from Susan Levasseur at https://wownolacreations.com/wine-bottle-cover-flourishing-phrases/, although there are tons of tutorials on the Internet.

To create the main part of the wine container, I took a 12″ x 12″ piece of Cinnamon Cider Card Stock, and cut it to 12″ x 11.″    I then did some scoring:

• On the 12″ side score at 2″ and 10″
• Turn 90 degrees and on the 11″ side score at 1 3/4″, 3 1/2″, 5 1/4″, 7″, 8 3/4″, 10 1/2″

I then cut a 9″ by 7 1/2″ panel of Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper. From there, I cut six strips — all at 1 1/2″ by 7 1/2″, keeping them in order so that when I assemble the wine container, I will have a continuous pattern, if my DSP pattern applies.  

Fold and burnish all score lines with your bone folder. Trim the container as shown on the photos below. I measured in 5/8″ from each tab at the top, made a small pencil mark, and then cut at an angle to form wide triangles for ease of punching a hole for the ribbon.

Adhere the strips to the wine container cover. I used strips from the gorgeous fall designs of the Beauty of Tomorrow Designer Series Papers. Any of our foiled papers work really well to add extra richness! Here’s what mine looked like:

Punch 1/4″ holes in each of the shaped tabs at the top of the wine container. Glue or use Tear and Tape to secure the side tab so your wine bottle holder is round. Place the wine bottle inside to press down firmly to adhere strongly.  Add a circle of cardstock, either punched or cut from a die, to cover the flaps at the bottom, if you desire. With the wine bottle inside, string the ribbon and tie a bow. I created a gold shimmery accent using the Gold Shimmer Ribbon.

I created my tag using the Tailor Made Tags Dies and a small piece of Basic White Cardstock. I stamped a “Cheers” sentiment across the bottom, and then decorated with an element from the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack, and a piece of Gold Shimmer Vellum cut from the large leaf die in the Beauty of Tomorrow Bundle. I added a couple of Gilded Gems, and that was it!

Here are a couple of other samples for holiday parties or dinners, or a cute Christmas gift!

I hope you enjoyed my project. All the products used to make the Blackberry Beauty Wine Holder can be found below! More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on November 10th. Our theme will be “Home for the Holidays” when our Design Team creates a project to celebrate the upcoming holidays. Until then, have fun in your craft space.

I recently did a Facebook Live for World Card Making Day, except it was a couple of days late! Ha! Oh, well…our weekend was filled with a wedding and a family birthday, so I had to resort to a Monday Night Live instead. It’s super easy, and addictive, and I threw three cards together in a very short while. Here they are:

Aren’t they fun? This card is called the Hidden Fun Fold for a reason – the top of the card is directly on top of the base, but when you open it, there is an accordian-style opening:

Here are the measurements:

• Designer Series Paper: 4″ x 5 1/4″
• Colored Card Stock: 2 sheets at 4 1/4 X 5 1/2″, one for the front panel, one for the base panel
• Basic White Card Stock: 1 at 10 1/2″ X 4″, scored at 5 1/4″ by 7 7/8″
• Sentiment panel and embellishments of your choice!

You will fold the Basic White Card Panel at the score line, and then stamp on it before adhering it to the card base. The fold that sticks up will adhere to the back of the top panel. Here is the link to my Live Facebook Video for complete instructions! https://www.facebook.com/mary.andree.hanson/videos/4220677214697599

For the sentiments, I used both the Tailor Made Tags Dies, and a die from the Scalloped Contours Dies. Of course, you can use any sentiment for any occasion from your favorite sets!

I got this Hidden Fun Fold Card idea from Donna Singleton at donnascreativespace.com. Here’s her video: https://youtu.be/7QtjEVHHN0A

There’s a brand new bundle from Stampin’ Up! that caught my eye from the moment the July-December Mini Catalog came out: The Words of Cheer Bundle. Here’s a card I made recently for a card swap:

The bundle is so cool, because it has two-layer large sentiment dies that can be used in a variety of ways!

In my card above, I used Evening Evergreen cardstock for the ‘happy’ with the pine accents, and the Shimmer Vellum in Soft Succulent, paired with the Foam Adhesive Sheets, for the top ‘happy’ layer. When you run the die, vellum, and double-sided adhesive foam sheet through your Cut n Emboss machine you get a sentiment that really pops! Then you simply peel the bottom adhesive sheet off the die, and stick it to the Evergreen layer, and WOW! It’s a great effect!

I took a 4″ by 5 1/4″ panel of Gray Granite cardstock, and ran it through the Cut and Emboss Machine with the Timber Embossing Folder. I then cut it in half lengthwise to make a 2″ x 5 1/4″ piece. The two Designers Series Papers patterns are from the Tiding of Christmas DSP set, found in the big Annual Catalog. I cut a 3/4″ x 4″ strip of the dark pattern, and a 2 1/4″ x 4″ panel of a different pattern. So many sheets coordinate, it’s fun to mix and match. I adhered all the panels to a Basic White cardstock panel of 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ to make an A2 card. One DSP panel overlaps the others, but that’s okay – you then take the little strip and adhere to the middle, covering up the seam!

I cut out a tag die from the Taylor Made Tags Dies on Evening Evergreen, and heat embossed a greeting from the stamp set with White Embossing Powder. I tied a small length of the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon in Red through the tag, and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I hope you liked my project! All the products you need to create this yourself can be found at the end of this post.

For World Card Making Day on Saturday, October 2, I had a very special task — to create a card for my sweet husband’s birthday on October 3!

I got my inspiration from Julie Gilson at Stamping Gala, who writes about using the Words of Cheer bundle for something OTHER than The Christmas holidays. Such a great way to extend the use of a stamp set! So I was on a mission to make my husband a card using this bundle. Here’s her initial post: https://stampingala.com/2021/10/words-of-cheer-birthday-card.html.

My card starts with a card base of Mossy Meadow. I also cut out these panels:

• Basic White: 4 1/4″ x 3 1/2″
• Mango Melody: 4 7/8″ x 3 5/8″
• Beauty of the Earth DSP: 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″
• Misty Moonlight: 1 7/8″ x 3 7/8″
• Basic White Stitched Rectangle

I cut out the two parts to the Words of Cheer dies — the pine ‘base’ in mossy meadow, and the happy in a layer of Beauty of the Earth DSP backed by the Foam Adhesive sheet. This gave the letters the ‘pop’ that I was looking for! I LOVE this new bundle! The dies allow you to make a two-layer letter greeting!

I used the Time-Worn Type 3D Embossing Folcer for the white panel. LOVE LOVE this look. I ran the stitched rectangle panel through the Woodland Embossing folder. I then started at the card base and added all the layers. I cut out some leaves from the Stitched Leaves Dies in some rich colors. LOVE the stitching! I stamped the Happy Birthday stamp from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set, and then cut the sentiment apart to keep the BIRTHDAY! From there, it was a simple job to start layering!

We had a great birthday celebration for my husband! I hope you enjoy my card, and thanks to Julie Gilson for the inspiration! It was just what I was looking for! All the products you need to create this card can be found below!

I created a fun little treat box that holds a twin pack of Oreos – so fun for a table favor, or picture a Halloween design for your favorite little ghoul!

I saw this box on a blog post called the Pink Designs by Cathryn. This box is so easy, and fits a twin pack of Oreos inside! The fun part is that you could make it for any season or holiday! Here is the link to her blog post: https://inthepinkcathryn.blogspot.com/2020/09/halloween-cookie-box-with-festive-post.html

I started with a piece of Mossy Meadow Cardstock sized  8  x  5 1/2″. I scored the 8″ side at: 1/2,  3,  4 1/4  and  6 3/4.” I scored the 5 1/2″ side at: 1,  3 3/4  and  5.”
To cut and put the box together please watch Cathryn’s video tutorial here.

I added panels of the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper sized:

(2)  2 5/8  x  2 3/8″

(2)  2 5/8  x  1 1/8″

(3)  2 3/8  x  1 1/8″

This paper is so gorgeous, and there are 12 x 12″ sheets that represent every season. It’s a keeper, for sure!

I then decorated the box! I cut leaves out of the Stitched Leaves dies in Mango Melody, Misty Moonlight, and one in the Be Dazzling specialty paper from Sale-A-Bration. I cut out a tag from the Tailor Made Tags Dies and stamped a sentiment on it in OId Olive. I used a small wood element that has retired to add a little more dimension to the front. I used a paper punch to create two holes at the top, and then tied the box with the ribbon after putting in the Oreo pack!

I hope you liked my Oreo treat box! I’d love to see your own treat box creation. In fact, I’d love it if you joined my Up North Stampin’ Gang Facebook Group and posted your box so we can give you some stampin’ love! Here’s the link. We have so much fun!
