Horse & Sleigh stamp set

Hi my stamping friends,

I have used the Horse & Sleigh stamp set (#162119) for todays card. I have chosen not to colour this image but just Gold emboss it.

I stamped the image on Very Vanilla card (#106550) with VersaMark (#102283) and used the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and this was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I matted this with a Gold Foil Sheet (#132622).

I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) with Real Red ink (#147084). I stamped using the Stamparatus so I could re-stamp it with VersaMark, then added Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554) and set this with the Heat Tool. A Labels Aglow die (#159551) was used to cut the sentiment. I threaded the Gold Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) through the holes of the sentiment and wrapped it around the card front. I also attached the sentiment with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The base card is Very Vanilla.

A very easy Christmas card!!

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.

Rays Of Light

Hello everyone,

I was having a clean up in my craft room (a never ending job) and came across some bits and pieces and immediately thought “I could make a card with those pieces”, so was very happy with this beautiful card. I do love the traditional red, green & gold for Christmas.

The Rays Of Light stamp (#158925) was used for the background. I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) onto Pearlescent Specialty Paper (#154291) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was matted with the Shaded Spruce card (#147006) then attached to the Real Red base card (#106578).

The poinsettias were fussy cut from the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600). These flowers were from the edge of the paper, so you don't need to throw any of these beautiful flowers away.

“Merry Christmas” from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was also Gold heat embossed. A Labels Aglow die (#159551) was used to cut the sentiment.

The flowers at the top and the sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the other flower was taped to the card.

Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello stamping friends,

Another pretty and easy Christmas card, this time using the beautiful Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159535).

I have used 3 designs from the Designer Paper. I attached the 2 designs on the card front, then I matted the square design with Gold Foil (#132622) and this was attached to the card.

The sentiment is from Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) and stamped with VersaMark (#102283) onto Very Vanilla card (#106550). This was embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183) and attached to the card.

The 3 snowflakes from the Frosted Flurry dies (#159811) were cut from Gold Foil which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). After these were attached to the card I used the Real Red Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) on the centre of each snowflake. This needs some time to set so set the card aside so it can’t be damaged.

Christmas Lights

Hi friends,

A simple Christmas card using the Christmas Lights Bundle (#159961) and the Brightest Glow Bundle (#159552).

The DSP is from the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600) this was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). I used one of the dies from the Labels Aglow dies (#159551) on the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237). This was attached to the DSP.

The tree was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) and cut with a Twinkling Lights Die (#159541). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was also cut with a Labels Aglow die.

I used the White Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) to add the “decorations” to the tree, Even though this is white, the green colour from the ink has shown through to give a lovely subtle green colour.

I can’t believe it is already November and Christmas is just around the corner. I hope you have started (or perhaps you have finished) your Christmas cards. I still have some to make but hope they will all be finished soon.

Rays Of Light

Hello stamping friends,

A super easy card today using the Rays Of Light stamp (#158925). This stamp is a background stamp so will cover a standard size card.

I stamped this image with VersaMark (#102283) onto a piece of the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600). This was embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I matted this with the Sweet Sorbet card (#159266) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#159228). 

The sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159216), then punched with the Handmade Tag Punch (#159690). I also punched a piece of Sweet Sorbet card, cut it in half and attached it to the sentiment. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment to the card.

As I said, Super easy.

Christmas Banners Dies

Hello friends,

Each year I hold full day classes making Christmas cards which is a very popular class. I usually have around 15 cards for the ladies to choose from and they all work on different cards, working at their own pace, so there is no waiting for stamps, inks etc. They end up with a great variety of cards for their days work. 

This card today is one design they had to choose from this year.

The used Evening Evergreen card (#155575) and Soft Succulent card (#155777) to cut the leaves with the Christmas Banner Dies (#159576). The Merry Merlot (#147005) leaves were cut with the dies from the Holly Berry dies (159607). All the  card stock was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the dies making it easy to attach them to the card.

The Basic White card front (#159228) was dry embossed with the Gingham Embossing Folder (#157627), then attached to the Evening Evergreen card.

The sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was stamped with Merry Merlot ink (#147112), then cut with a Labels Aglow die (#159551). The Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon (#155573) was threaded through the label and wrapped around the card front. This was then attached to the Basic White base card

Twinkling Lights dies

Hi stamping friends,

A variation of the Christmas card from a couple of days ago using the Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159535).

The DSP for the card front & the square Soft Succulent are from the Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper. I wrapped the Gold Shimmer Ribbon (#152156) around the card front and attched this to the Soft Succulent base card (#155777).

I cut the snowflake from the Gold Glimmer Paper which is part of the Glimmer Specialty Paper (#159537). The other 2 colours in the pack are Very Vanilla & Evening Evergreen. The die for this snowflake is from the Twinkling Lights Dies (#159541). I cut the snowflake in half and attached it to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The square DSP was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). As usual this needs to be set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Stylish Shapes Die (#159183) was used to cut the sentiment. 

A lovely glittery card.

Here’s another beautiful Christmas card using the Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159535). This paper is 6”x6” with 4 of each 12 double-sided designs including gold foil. One of the designs has 2 square & 2 circle designs (as shown below) and I have used the circle design on this card.

Snowflake Specialty Vellum

Hello crafty friends,

A super easy card today using the Snowflake Specialty Vellum (#159832). This pack includes 6 sheets, 2 each of 3 designs with iridescent foil & white flocking. I have used the iridescent foil.

I coloured the vellum with a Blending Brush (#153611) and Pacific Point ink (#147098). I attached this to a piece of Basic White card (#158228) the same size, then to the Pacific Point card (#116202). I didn't attached it directly to the Pacific Point card as the background would have been darker than I wanted.

I wrapped the Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550) around the card front then attached it to the Basic White Base Card.

Merry Christmas is from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542), stamped with Pacific Point ink and cut with a die from the Labels Aglow dies (#159551). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach this to the card. The embellishment on the sentiment is an Adhesive Backed Star (#159965).

As I said this card is super easy.
