mmm...Stampin' Time

Today I have a super simple Gingerbread & Peppermint Christmas card to share with you. If you have time to pop back to my post from September 27th, you can watch an Instagram Reel of the aftermath of my Sunday stamping session when I made six projects using this Suite.

This card features the Gingerbread & Peppermint 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper, some die cutting and some simple stamping.

The three pieces of DSP were cut and layered using Multipurpose Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of some Cinnamon Cider card and cut a star from the Gingerbread Dies and the Christmas greeting from the Word Wishes Dies. These elements were attached to the Real Red panel and popped up on dimensionals.

I used one of the peppermint kiss images to stamp the card insert and envelope using Real Red and Old Olive ink. As you can see this is a super simple card. Sometimes you don’t need to overcomplicate cards especially when the paper is so adorable.

Let me know what you think of this one. I hope that you will like the next few projects – so, until then, happy stamping.

This week’s Global Design Project #311 challenge is a theme challenge.

I enjoy taking part in blog hops and challenges because it encourages me to create outside my comfort zone.

When I saw that this week’s theme was leaves I started to scan my shelves to see which stamp set, dies and other products I might use. Well, that took some time because there are so many to choose from!

Eventually, I decided on the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle.

I started by carefully tearing a length of Post-It Cover-up Tape to position on a piece of Basic White card. Then, using a Blending Brush, I coloured the space with four different yellows – Crushed /curry, Mango Melody, Bumblebee and Pumpkin Pie.

After I pulled away the Post-It tape I stamped the small cluster of three leaves, in Memento Jet Black, across this curved yellow panel.

Then I flicked the Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blend to create the speckled flecks on the Basic White panel.

I wrapped some Basic Black Baker’s Twine, from the Essentials Pack, around this panel and tied a bow.

The second layer, in Basic Black, was given texture by using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

The Basic Black embossed panel was popped up on the Crushed Curry card base using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals and the Basic White layer was popped up in the same way.

The leaves were cut using the Intricate Leaves Dies and were coloured, on the under side, using Doaffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. I layered the leaves and secured them using Mini Glue Dots. Then I tucked them in under the Basic Black Baker’s Twine.

The greeting, from the Inspired Thoughts Stamped Set, was heat embossed in Basic White Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Basic Black card. Then I cut it using the label die from Pretty Pillow Box Dies.

I used the small cluster of three leaves image to stamp the card insert and envelope. Finally, I added some Matte Black Dots to the card front.

It is always wonderful to take part in a challenge and then use lots of Stampin’ Up!® products to create a project.

So, let me know what you think of my latest GDP project.

Thanks for popping by and until next time, happy stamping.

The Gingerbread & Peppermint 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper is so much fun to play with.

Thank you for popping by to see my latest project using this gorgeous ‘iced gingerbread’ paper. I trimmed and fussy cut it to make it look like a Christmas cracker.

Before I placed the two ends of the cracker on the card front I stamped some of the peppermint kisses, from the Frosted Gingerbread Stamp Set, using Cinnamon Cider ink. With the ‘cracker’ split open the ‘candy’ looks like it is spilling out.

I cut some of the peppermint kisses from the DSP using the Gingerbread Dies. These were popped up on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added one of the cut kisses to the inside of the card and a strip of the DPS to the envelope.

The greeting, from the same stamp set, was stamped twice – once in Real Red and once in Old Olive. I trimmed the greetings down so they could be positioned with the red “sending you” above the green “pepperment kisses”.

Make sure you leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this card!

Until next time, happy stamping.
