Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone,

With all the Christmas cards I have made already this year I just realised today I haven't got enough. Here’s an easy one using the beautiful Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165853).

The DSP was matted with Real Red card (#106578) then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Merry Christmas” is from the Traditional Labels stamp set (#165854) and I stamped this with Real Red ink (#147084).

The Real Red and Basic White rectangles were cut with the Textured Notes dies (#165555). These were attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I stamped the flower from the Delicate Pines stamp set (#166067) with Real Red ink. The flower and Real Red & Granny Apple Green card (#147014) were all cut with the same die from the Delicate Pines dies (#166073). These were attached together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and attached to the card.

Friendly Foliage Bundle

Hello fellow crafters,

I love the simplicity of the foliage in the Friendly Foliage stamp set (#167021), then when cut with the dies takes it to the next level. There are 2 dies to cut the foliage. You can just cut the outline image, or you can use a second die to cut the pieces around the leaves inside the frame, which is what I have done on this image.

I stamped the image and sentiment with VersaMark (#102283) and added the Copper powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). The foliage was then cut with the Friendly Foliage dies (#167023) and the sentiment was punched with the Three Banner Punch (#167050).

I cut the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper (#167082) and the Copper from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772) with the Branching Out dies (#165775). I also matted another piece of DSP with the Copper Paper and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the foliage and the sentiment to the card. The Low Profile Dots (#164658) were added to the card.

Petals Of Beauty

Hello again friends,

The Petals Of Beauty Bundle (#167096) consists of the Petals Of Beauty stamp set (#167093) and Petals Of Beauty dies (#167095).

The flowers & leaves were cut using the dies. The background of the flower was cut with Basic White card (#166781), then I added some colour with a Blending Brush (#153611) with Calypso Coral ink (#147101). I used Calypso Coral card (#124392) for the detailed flower and Mossy Meadow card (#133683) and Old Olive card (#106576) for the leaves.

The 2 pieces of DSP are from the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper (#167082) and matted with Calypso Coral card. This was attached to the Basic White base card.

The Mossy Meadow card for the detailed leaf was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The Old Olive leaf was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I stamped the sentiment from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) with Calypso Coral ink onto a label from the Foiled Frames & Labels Ephemera Pack (#165616). This was attached to the card.

The detailed flower was attached to the background flower with Mini Glue dots, then the flower was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the fine die cut flower. The embellishments are the Antique Pearls (#164679) which I coloured with the dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends (#154881).

Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again,

I usually go for the traditional Christmas colours but I do like this Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165990).

I attached the 2 pieces of DSP to a piece of Gold from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772), then this was attached to the Basic White Base card. (#166781).

The label is from the Foiled Frames & Labels Ephemera Pack (#165616). The “Season’s Greetings” is from the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#166208). These sentiments have an adhesive backing, so just peel off the back and adhere to the label. The label was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I added the Gold sequins from the Traditional Sparkling Sequins (#165875).

Such an easy but elegant card.
