{Stampin Sunday Blog Hop - Holiday Designer Series Paper}

Hello there, and welcome to another Stamping Sunday Blog Hop, today we are focusing on Designer Series Paper from the holiday catalogue. There are so many beautiful ones in there this year.  I have choosen to create a card and envelope from the Frosted Floral Paper.  As usual it is so much more beautiful in real life as it has this pearlised sheen to all sides of the papers.

I got the idea for this card from a lady who participated in my Christmas Challenge in September.  The central portion looks like it is attached by magic! I assure you it's not and when you know how you will love it! I took lots of photos to show you as it really needs to be seen from lot of angles to appreciate it.

Here is a video tutorial on how to  make the card

As the card ended up a little thick, I decided to make a boxelope for it... I know I made up a word! it's basically a very slim box, I used the envelope punch board to do this.  I often use this website here to figure out the measurements. I then created a belly band for it and decorated it with carious die cuts to match the card.

For more wonderful inspiration, have a look at the blogs of the fabulous demonstrators below

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Tropical Chic}

Such fun to join in with this blog hop today. 

The focus is on the Tropical Escape Suite which can be found here.

It's a fabulous fresh collection full of lovely leaf shapes, great for people who like making floral cards... ahem me!

I used 3 sheets from the paper collection... oooh remember you can earn a free pack of DSP when you buy 3 packs - until the end of the month.

Using the stamps and dies I cut out a pile of leaves and flowers which made assembling the cards very easy.

Here is a video of the process

After I made the card, I had a play with the square leaf die to decorate a little bag, and made a decorative peg to hold the top together.

{One sheet wonder from scrap paper}

A bit of a different One Sheet Wonder today, instead of stamping to create my background I'm using up some pretty papers.  It's so simple... all you  need is some papers and glue!

Here is how I created the background and the cards I made afterwards.
