A Little Bit Festive

Hi friends,

Another very quick & easy Christmas card, again using a die cut from the A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164107).

I added the White Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) to the “snow” on the trees of the die cut piece. I also added some along the ground. This was put aside to dry.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (#162026), then matted with Pool Party card (#124391) and attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment is from the Christmas Labels Bundle (#164101) and stamped with Pool Party ink (#147107). The co-ordinating Christmas Labels die (#164100) was used to cut the sentiment.

Once the trees were dry I attached them and the sentiment to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

A Little Bit Festive

Hi again,

Today I am using the card front from the A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164107) for another quick & easy Christmas card.

The card front with the baubles and the striped paper are from this pack. I mixed some Metallic Enamel Effects Basics Gold (#161610) with Isocol in a Stampin’ Spritzer (#126185) and sprayed this on the 2 pieces of DSP. This gave a lovely light gold shimmer to the card.

I matted the card front with Real Red card (106578). I taped the striped piece to the Basic White base card (#159228) then taped the card front.

The sentiment from the Decorative Trees stamp set (#164275) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card. The embellishments are from the retired Garden Gems.

Season Of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

I can’t believe it is already November, so now the countdown is on to Christmas. I hope you are well on the way to making all your Christmas cards. I have another Christmas card today, using the Season Of Green & Gold 12”x12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164324).

I attached the 2 pieces of Designer Paper to the Very Vanilla card front (#106550), then matted it with Old Olive card (#106576). This was taped to the Very Vanilla base card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Labels stamp set (#164286) with Old Olive ink (#147090) and cut this with the co-ordinating die from the Christmas Labels dies (#164100).

The leaf and bells are from the same Designer Paper. The leaf was cut with a die from the Golden Greenery dies (#164116) and the bells were fussy cut.

The sentiment & bells were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaf with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are from the Faux Glass Dots (#164060).

Pretty Petals Bundle

Hi & welcome friends,

The Pretty Petals Bundle (#164869) will be one of the many new products available from 5th November from the Online Exclusives. Here is a sneak peek of this bundle.

The Pretty Petals stamp set (#164866) is a 2 step stamping set. I stamped the leaves with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095), then stamped the flowers with Highland Heather ink (#147103). I then stamped the flowers separately on another piece of Basic White card (#159228) using Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099).

The image with the leaves & flowers were cut with a die from the Pretty Petals dies (#164868). There is another die to cut the flowers separately which I used for the Gorgeous Grape flowers. I used the 4 larger flowers & attached them on top of the co-ordinating Highland Heather flowers with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The 2 pieces of DSP are from the Splendid Autumn 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164173). The smaller piece was matted with Silver Foil (#163387) then attached to the larger piece of DSP. This was then taped to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” from the Loveliest Tree stamp set (#163714) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and cut with a die from the Greetings Of The Season (#164112). The Silver from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack (#161633) was threaded through the sentiment.

I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the floral image & sentiment to the card. Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the leaves & flowers.

Regal Flora Bundle

Hello everyone,

Recently (see post on 20th October) I made a Christmas card basically the same as this card. I changed the flowers & sentiment and here we have a beautiful Birthday card. The original card was horizontal so made this vertical.

I cut the Basic White card (#159228) with a die from the Elegant Borders (#161593), then dry embossed it with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (#163414). I attached a piece of the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164037) to Mossy Meadow card (#133683), then the white card was attached.

The flowers & leaves are from the Regals Flora stamp set (#164157). The flowers are stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) and the leaves with Mossy Meadow ink (#147111) and Old Olive ink (#147090). The Regal Flora Dies (#164033) cut the flowers & leaves.

“Happy Birthday” from the So Sincere stamp set (#162283) was stamped with Old Olive ink. A Delicate Forest die (#162679) was used to cut this.

The flowers & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used Mini Glue Dots (#103683) to attach the leaves on the left of the card and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) for the other leaves.
