Stampin’ Up! Reason for the Season for The Happy Stampers Blog Hop

I used the Stampin’ Up! Reason for the Season stamp set and a little of the Home for the Holidays DSP to create my card for the Happy Stampers Blog Hop this week.  We’ve got a sketch that Sandi provided to play along with and here is what I created with it:

Here is the sketch that we’re using this week:

And I also have a little bit of exciting news to share with you…I’ve finally set up my very own YouTube channel and posted my first video!  It’s a short one showing you how I created the bow on this card…hope that you don’t notice my hands an voice shaking.  Yikes!!  🙂  Here is the video (if you’re viewing this in your email, you may need to click over to my blog post to see the video link):

I started my card by adhering a panel of Home for Christmas DSP to a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock with SNAIL.

Then I adhered the bow that I’d made with Very Vanilla 1-1/4″ Subtle Stripes Satin Ribbon (watch my video here) with SNAIL to the layered panel, then adhered the layered panel to a Real Red card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Reason for the Season photopolymer stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock.  I inked the poinsettia images in Real Red, Mossy Meadow and Delightful Dijon inks, stamped them on scrap paper twice, then stamped them over the sentiment image.

I cut the sentiment out with second largest of the Tags & Labels Framelits Dies and adhered it with SNAIL to a die cut from Mossy Meadow card stock with the largest die from that set.  Then I adhered the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Versatile Christmas stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock, then added the flower images from the Reason for the Season stamp set (stamped off twice as stated above) to finish the inside of the card.
