Silent Snowfall Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

For the background on this card I have used the Silent Snowfall Specialty Designer Series Paper (#166062). This paper is all white with a small embossed snowflake pattern all over. It can be used as is, or add colour, which is what I have done.

I coloured the paper using a Blending Brush (#153611) with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). I like how the embossed pattern picked up a bit more of the colour. This card was then matted with Blueberry Bushel card (#146991).

“Merry Christmas” from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set (#165991) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) onto Blueberry Bushel card and I added White powder from the Wow! Basics Embossing Powders (#165679). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a die from the Bauble Blooms (#166095)

“Cheer Magic & Hope” from the Magic & Hope stamp set (#165950) was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink onto Basic White card (#166781). This was cut with a die from the Ornamental Christmas dies (#166000).

The tops of the baubles were cut with dies from the Bauble Blooms dies using Silver Foil (#163387).

The white bauble was taped to the card and the blue bauble was attached with Stampion’ Dimensionals (#104430). I threaded the Silver Thread through the tops of the baubles, wrapped them over the back of the card and taped them in place.

The Hues Of Blue Flowers (#165930) were added to the baubles.

Metallic Textures Rub-Ons

HI everyone,

I have used the Metallic Textures Rub-Ons (#165270) for the stars & the wreath on this card. In the pack of Rub-Ons, there are both Silver & Gold in a variety of designs. I have used the silver Rub-Ons.

This card was a bit hard to photograph with all the silver.

With the rub-ons, cut the design you want from the sheet, remove the back sheet, place the design onto the card, and rub over the image with your fingers or a Bone Folder (#102300). Lift the top layer and you will be left with the design on the card. I used Night Of Navy card (#106577) and cut the circles with the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183).

The sentiment from the Joyful Tidings stamp set (#165944) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Silver Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The dove is cut using a Peace On Earth die (#165924) from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929).

I dry embossed the Basic White Card front (#166781) with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder (#164695), then matted it with the Night Of Navy card and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The dove & largest circle were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I taped the smaller circles. The Faceted Snowflakes (#166077) were added to finish the card.

Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape

Hello again my friends,

The Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape (#165269) has a variety of floral & leafy images and also co-ordinates with the Extraordinary Flora die (#165244).

I adhered the Washi Tape to Basic White card (#166781), then cut it with the die. This is one die which cuts all the pieces individually all at on - so convenient.

I stamped the Etched Autumn stamp (#166082) for the background, with VersaMark (#102283) onto the Basic White card front. I added White powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165679) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was matted with Granny Apple Green card (#147014) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) was heat embossed with Gold from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). I cut this with a Traditional Labels die (#165864) and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The flowers & leaves were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The gold Flower Accents (#165171) were added to finish the card.

Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi friends,

The beautiful Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165990) has a range of designs in Black, Gold & White. I have used 2 of the designs on this card.

I attached 3 strips of the DSP to a piece of Basic White card (#166781), then matted this with Real Red card (#106578) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

I cut the trees, also from the DSP, with the Bauble die from the Bauble Blooms dies (#166095). Another die was used to cut the Gold Foil (#132622) for the top of the bauble. This was taped to the bauble. I also cut another bauble in Basic Black card (#121688) and taped it to the bauble with the trees, for a shadow effect. This was then attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Merry Christmas” was cut from Real Red card (#106578) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). Just remove the backing and attach the words to the card.

Party Alphabet Dies

Hello stamping friends,

An easy Christmas card using the Party Alphabet dies (#165263) and the Words For The Season dies (#165797).

The “M” & “C” were cut with the Party Alphabet dies from the Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165853).

I used the Words For the Season dies to cut the “erry” & “hristmas”. These dies cut the full words but the first letter is separate to the rest of the word once they are cut, so that’s why I decided to use the Party Alphabet dies for the first letters (for something different). I used Cherry Cobbler card (#121681) which I backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Christmas Words Collage Embossing Folder (#165912). I attached a piece of Cherry Cobbler card on the left side of the Basic White base card, then attached the card front.

The “M” & “C” were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430), then the rest of the words were attached.

I fussy cut the flower from the Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach it to the card. The Faceted Snowflakes (166077) were added.

Mixed Florals

Hello again,

This floral image is from the Mixed Florals stamp set (#164639) and I stamped it with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781).

The flowers were coloured with Stampin’ Blends - Bubble Bath (#161675), Highland Heather (#154887), Fresh Freesia (#155518) and Blackberry Bliss (#154877). The leaves were coloured with Lost Lagoon (#161680) and Pool Party (#154894). I used Soft Sea Foam (#154902) for the flower stalks.

I cut this card with a die from the Perennial Postage dies (#162607), then I cut this in half both vertically & horizontally. These 4 pieces were attached to the Highland Heather card (#147010) then to the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (#162593). The base card is Basic White.

“Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099) and cut with a Perennial Postage dies. I attached the twine from the Black & White & Gold Bakers Twine (#166005) to the card than added the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are the Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the flowers for some glimmer.
