Merriest Moments stamp set

Hi & welcome,

I have made several variations of cards using poinsettias and the wreath for Christmas cards, so here is another variation.

The Daffodil Delight card (#121689) was dry embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). I punched the corner of this card and the Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) with the Very Best Trio Punch (#159878), then these were attached to the Basic White Base card (#159228).

“Merry Christmas” is from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) and this was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). A Labels Aglow Die (#159551) was used to cut the sentiment.

The flowers and leaves are from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) and cut with the co-ordinating Merriest Frames Hybrid dies (#156358). I used Shaded Spruce ink (#147088) for the leaves and Cherry Cobbler ink for the flowers. I attached the smaller flower to the larger flower using Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The wreath was cut from Pearlescent Specialty paper (#154291) using a Natural Prints die (#158800). This was also attached with Mini Glue dots. The flowers and sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Glue Dots for the leaves.

The bow is cut with a Birdhouse Die (#158847) and I used Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The Real Red Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) was used for the centre of the flowers. This does take a bit of time to dry so this is the last thing I do on the card then put the card aside to allow it to dry.

Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper

Hello & welcome my friends,

The flowers from the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600) have been fussy cut, then I added some extra stamped leaves around the flower.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (#154317) and matted with Shaded Spruce card (#147006), then attached to the Basic White base card.

I backed the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) with Adhesive Sheet (#152334), then cut this with the frame die from the Framed Florets (#160623). This was adhered to the card front.

The poinsettias were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The leaves from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) were stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088) and cut with a die from the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies (#156385). These leaves were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Deer stamp set (#156891) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This was cut with a Potted Succulent die154330). I cut the ends off the label and cut the words apart. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the words to the card. The cute Flowers Trinkets (#159191) were added to the card. You probably can’t see the glimmer on the flowers which I added with the Clear Wink Of Stella Brush (#141897).

Merriest Moments Bundle

Hi,

A lovely subtle coloured Christmas card using the Merriest Moments Bundle (#156783).

I cut 3cms from the bottom of the card, allowing you to see the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper (#156292) which I had attached to the inside of the Basic White card (#159228).

I embossed a piece of  Basic White card using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders (#155433) with the snowflakes. This was attached to the front of the card.

The lightest Silver from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack (#156457) was cut and embossed using the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder (#156385).  This hybrid embossing folder also includes the dies. The sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with another die from the set and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The detailed leaves were also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A pretty card but very easy to make with the right tools.

Happy Holly-Days stamp set

Hi friends,

Today I have used 2 Christmas stamp sets but again have made a non Christmas card.

I often stamp an image which I don’t end up using so have a box of bits and pieces which come in very handy when I have little time to stamp but need a card. It’s a bit like a kit with all the pieces ready to put together. The bird, the stamped leaves and scalloped cork paper are all from that box so didn't take long to put together.

The Soft Succulent card front is from the 2021-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper (#155641) and attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). The leaves from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) were stamped with Soft Succulent ink (#155778) and Evening Evergreen ink (#155576). This was attached to the card front.

The Cork Specialty Paper (#156393) was cut with the scalloped die from the Scalloped Contours Dies (#155560). The bird from Happy Holly-Days stamp set (#156342) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and fussy cut. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Congratulations” from Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink and cut with an Ornate Frames Die (#150664) and also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Soft Succulent embellishments are from the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels (#155571).

Merriest Moments stamp set

Hello stamping friends,

I wanted to make this card to show the versatility of some stamp sets. The leaves have been stamped from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) which is a Christmas set but I have made a non Christmas card. Of course if you used the poinsettias in the set you could make it a Christmas card.

I stamped the finer leaves with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) and the other leaves with Soft Succulent ink (#155778). After stamping, I dry embossed the Basic White card (#159228) with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder (#156406). This card was matted with the Rich Razzleberry card (#119981), then attached to the Basic White base card.

The flowers were cut with the Summer Shadows Dies (#156618). The base of the flower is Fresh Freesia card (#155614) and the detailed outline is Rich Razzleberry card. I had adhered Adhesive Sheet (#152334) to the back of the Rich Razzleberry card before cutting with the dies, making it easy to attach to the base flower. The Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots (#156506) were attached to the centre of the flowers.

The Gold Trim from the Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) was attached to the card and the flowers were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Thank You” is from the Beauty Of Friendship stamp set (#154984) and stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink (#147091). This was punched with a retired punch and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Happy Holly-Days Bundle

HI again,

I am loving the bird from the Happy Holly-Days stamp set (#156342) which I have used on non Christmas cards as well as Christmas cards. I have teamed it today with leaves from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) and the Holly Border Punch (#156379).

The base card is Very Vanilla (#106550). I matted the Tidings Of Christmas 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#155718) with Evening Evergreen card (#155575). I punched the Gold from the Gold & Rose Gold 6”x6” Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844) using the Holly Border Punch (#156379). This was attached to the Evening Evergreen card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The leaves from the Merriest Moments stamp set (#156353) were stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) and VersaMark (#102283) with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). These were cut with the dies which are part of the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder (#156385).

The bird and sentiment are both stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083). The sentiment from the Peaceful Deer stamp set (#156891) is cut with a Seasonal Labels Die (#156299) and the bird was fussy cut. These were both attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
