TIME FOR ANOTHER CHRISTMAS CARD

Hello! Thanks for popping by to see today’s Christmas project.

I’m posting this one a little late today – thanks for your patience.

I used the Christmas Season Bundle and the Merriest Moments Stamp Set for this card.

The first step was to use the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to the Basic White and Soft Suede panels. I used my Blending Brushes to lightly add Crumb Cake and Soft Suede to the white panel and then a Real Red bow and ribbon length was wrapped around it.

After the embossed panels were adhered to the card base, I stamped and die cut the pine cone and leaf elements. I arranged them, as you can see, creating a tight bouquet.

The Christmas greeting is from theMerristed Moments Stamp Set. It was cut using one of the dies from the Seasonal Labels Dies. This die set has 9 leaf, berry and pine cone dies; as well as 6 great frame dies – perfect for so many sentiments.

The holly berries were painted with some Clear Wink of Stella to add a little shimmer to them. I stamped the smaller pine cone on the card insert and envelope.

I’m very pleased with the Christmas cards that I have made so far this year! When do you get started with your Christmas preparations?

Until next time, happy stamping.

CHRISTMAS CONIFERS

Hello and welcome. I am so pleased that you have popped by today. Make sure that you leave a comment to let me know where you’re from.

Today I have another Christmas card to share with you.

I started this card by choosing Designer Series Paper first. The Peaceful Place 12″x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper is a stunning collection of monochromatic and silver Christmas designs.

PEACEFUL PLACE 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

I chose two of the geometric designs because I wanted to use the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder and Evergreen Border Punch to add the conifers to my card.

I embossed a strip of the checked DSP and a panel of Basic Gray cardstock. The checked strip was then positioned to align with the trees on the base layer. Before I attached this to the card base I wrapped and secured a length of Smoky Slate Textured Ribbon around it.

The Christmas greeting, from the Holly Jolly Wishes Stamp Set, was stamped directly onto the second piece of DSP. To make sure this stamped piece would not buckle when it was popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered a slightly smaller piece of Smoky Slate card behind it.

Using Basic Gray, Mossy Meadow and Smoky Slate I punched several rows of trees and layered them together. After the trees were added to the front of the card, I chose one of the cabins from the same DSP bundle, fussy cut it and placed it in front of the trees. I also added trees to the card insert and envelope.

I like the way there is a small hint of colour, from the Mossy Meadow trees, just peeking out from behind the gray.

After a light brush of Clear Wink of Stella across the tree tops and roof, I placed some Silver Metallic Pearls to finish the card.

I’m rather pleased with the way this card looks. What do you think?

Until next time, happy stamping.

TIME FOR SOME FUN

Hello crafty friends. Welcome to today’s project share. I am so pleased that you’re visiting my post.

I wanted to use my Give It a Whirl Dies again because I’ve only used it once so far. One of my goals for the rest of the year is to work my way through all of my Stampin’ Up!® goodies that I have only used once.

For this project I decided to use the Brew Some Fun Stamp Set and Pattern Play Designer Series Paper.

I wanted to use smaller images and stamp them several times to fill the spaces on the spinning card piece. The tea bag cup, party hats and flowers stamps were the perfect size to do this. After they were stamped I coloured them using Stampin’ Write Markers™. Let’s take a spin and I’ll show you the other two segments.

I used the same die, that cut the viewing space, to cut two pieces of the DSP. These were then posiotined to create the segmented circle.

To assemble the card I added a layer of striped DSP to the base. Then I used a brad to hold the spinning mechanism in position under the Misty Moonlight front panel.

I stamped the greeting in Misty Moonlight onto a small piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. Then I used the scalloped die to cut the circle that I could place inside the Bumblebee scalloped frame.

More scalloped frames, in coordinating colours, were cut and adhered to the card front, card insert and envelope.

It was fun to make another spinning card. Now I’ll need to think of some other card ideas for this set of dies.

What do you think? Who would you like to brew up some fun with?

Until next time, happy stamping.
