Welcome to the Stamp 'n Hop! The theme is 'favourite bundle'
We have 13 lovely projects for you from Stampin' Up! demonstrators and papercrafters from the UK, USA and Australia.
I'm using the Hand Penned Petals bundle - I must admit it's not my favourite bundle but I wanted to ink it up for the first to create this #simplestamping monochrome card.
Welcome to the Stamp 'n Hop!
We have 12 fabulous projects for you from Stampin' Up! demonstrators and papercrafters from the UK, USA and the Netherlands.
If you are new to Stampin' Up! DSP is Designer Series Paper or quite simply, patterned paper.
I am a HUGE fan of DSP and use it in most of my papercrafte projects. You may be a card maker or scrapbooker so come and have a look and check out our projects.

This month’s theme is Christmas! It's hands down my favourite time of the year to craft.
You'll be spoilt for inspiration today with over 20 papercraft projects from papercrafters and demonstrators from all over the world!
Today I am using the popular Trimming the Town DSP - I don't know about you but I have thoroughly enjoyed creating with the Trimming the Town suite this year.
Is this patterned paper still in stock in your country? Or has it sold out in the End of Year Closeout?
There is no stamping on this card - everything has been fussy cut from the paper.
I love how cute the row of little houses is - in fact, I recently created some treat bags using exactly the same technique - click here to check them out.
#toptip It doesn't matter if you have half a house or part of a house missing (vertically) - this may be from where you have cut the paper previously and are using up scraps. All you need to do is layer your houses over each other so that this missing part it is not seen!
I have added layers of a Poppy Parade and Whisper White underneath the Misty Moonlight stripey patterned paper.
Adding the scalloped oval from the Layering Circles dies in Poppy Parade and also one house in the same colour, ties everything together.
I've decorated the inside of the card too and have followed the same design but this time I have added a Poppy Parade scalloped square from the Layering Squares dies.
I found some more scraps and fussy cut another house, a sentiment and some people. They are honestly a piece of cake to fussy cut and they are the perfect addition to my scene.
For one final touch, I added Whisper White and Misty Moonlight twine - from the Flowers for Every Season Combo Pack

This month’s theme is 3D projects. There are over 20 of us on this blog hop today so you'll be spoilt for inspiration for your papercraft projects!
I've created this 3D Christmas Card - I have NO IDEA what this style card is called (leave me a comment if you know!)
In the last few years, I have received at least two cards like this, one from each of my aunties Chiquita and Sherida, who live in Utrecht in The Netherlands.
A week ago I was going through the Christmas cards we received last year (I like to double check my Christmas card list has everyone who sent us a card last year on it!) and I found a card just like this (I forgot to take a photo). I hsve never seen this style card for sale in the UK so the challenge was on, I wanted to create my own version.
I didn't have any circle dies large enough and whilst I'm sure I could have worked this out using various items to draw a pattern onto window sheets, I decided this was a job for my electronic cutting machine!
I designed this shape (yes, it does look like something else lol) in Cricut Design Space using two circles of different sizes (the larger one being 5") and a rectangle. I then welded the shape together so that it would cut as one piece. I added my Window Sheet onto my cutting mat and put the machine to work! The shape was perfect and I have saved it for future use!
I scored the Window Sheet where the rectangle meets the circle and attached it to the underneath of my card with Tear & Tape.
The card base is Mint Macaron cardstock measuring 5" x 10", scored at 5". I've covered the whole inside with a piece of the Snowflake Splendor DSP of the same size.
I've decorated the Window Sheet with die cuts from the So Many Snowflakes dies and Joy dies.
I've used a combination of Whisper White cardstock, Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper - plus Whisper White cardstock which I'd previously painted with Frost White Shimmer paint mixed with Pool Party ink (which was leftover from previous project).
I applied Adhesive Sheets to the back of all the cardstock, before die cutting. This is so all the pieces would stick to the Window Sheet really easily (and be repositionable) and also so it didn't look messy on the reverse side of the Window Sheet. Adhesive Sheets are so much easier to use with die cuts than any other adhesive, especially when working with intricate shapes such as snowflakes.
As you can see the Window Sheet piece folds totally flat. This makes posting easy and if you are in the UK, the bonus is this card would only need a standard stamp.
I've decorated the top of the card with a piece of the same DSP measuring 4 3/4" square. This distracts from the small cut I created, which was needed to be able to insert the top of the Window Sheet into the cardstock, to create the 3D effect.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog - I hope you enjoyed my project today! I really enjoyed creating this.
Like I said at the start, if you know the name of this type of card please let me know in the comments.

This month’s theme is 'Favourite DSP'
My favourite patterned paper changes quite often as we are spoilt for so much choice with ranges in both the Annual and Mini Stampin' Up! catalogues.
Right now my favourite patterned paper is the Magic in this Night DSP. I've been using it so much in the run up to Halloween and I can't wait to create non Halloween projects with it too.
I've got 3 more Halloween projects featuring this DSP to share with you between now and 31st October!
The project I'm sharing today are these super cute Halloween Treat Bags. I created this unique shaped treat bag over 3 years ago now and the original project is still my most popular blog post and most viewed video. Recently someone left a comment on YouTube asking for a larger size - challenge accepted, here it is!
I've filmed a video so you can see exactly how I made them. If you don't have time to watch it now, you could add it to your playlist on YouTube as I promise you, they are such a quick make and you'll find lot's of uses for them as they are suitable for all occasions!
I decided to use the various black patterned paper from the Magic in this Night DSP and pair them with elements created with neon like colours - I've used Magenta Madness, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade and Pumpkin Pie (only seen in the video)
I've also added Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon and Black Glitter Paper to give it a bit of sparkle.
Are you wondering where I got the matching twine from? Watch my video to find out!
Grab your scoreboard, scissors, bone folder and double-sided tape and note that all measurements are in inches
- Score at 1 3/4"
- Turn the paper clockwise once
- Score at 1 3/4" (to the score line)
- Score at 3 1/2"
- Score at 5 1/4 (to the score line)
- Score at 7"
If you would like to make a smaller version of this Treat Bag, I have another tutorial here.
Coming up on my blog, I have a Christmas Treat Bag to show you, slightly larger than this one. So you don't miss it, click here to sign up receive my blog posts by email.
If you have the time, it would be lovely if you could leave us comments to let us know you've stopped by! I'd love to know where you are from and your favourite DSP - current or retired.

This is the first time I am joining this blog hop and I'm delighted to be taking part with so many talented demonstrators.
This month’s theme is all about the Mini Catalogue and I am showcasing the Wishes & Wonder bundle today.

The Shimmery White Embossing Paste is ideal to use when creating your Christmas cards. You can use it straight out of the tub (like I have done today) or you can mix it with a drop or two of ink to add colour to match your project. Just look how it sparkles!!!
Using embossing paste is a simple but effective technique. It's super quick and easy to create but you do need to make sure you wait for the paste to dry - but don't worry, it doesn't take too long!.
There are four different patterns included within the pack of Basic Pattern Decorative Masks. The trees were the inspiration behind my card today - the PERFECT background for my reindeer!
For my sentiment, I die cut a shape from the Tasteful Labels dies (an absolute must have for your craft stash).
I stamped the sentiment from the Wishes and Wonders stamp set in Versamark ink onto Silver Foil. I then added White Embossing Powder and set it with my heat tool.
Now for the star of the show, the reindeer from the North Pole Wonder dies - die cut from Silver Foil.
Doesn't it look fabulous against the shimmery background?
In my opinion, this card didn't need anything else adding to it - I think it's a good example of less is more. I hope you agree?
