Stitched Stocking Christmas card

 Hi everyone,

I have made another Christmas card, this time using the Stitched Stocking dies (#168230).

I cut all the pieces for the stocking with the dies. I used Real Red card (#106578) and Shaded Spruce card (#147006). The white pieces on the stocking were cut from retired All Season Velvet.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder (#168179). This was attached to the Real Red base card.

I taped the larger pieces of the stocking and used Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) for the smaller pieces.

“Christmas Wishes” is from the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set (#168140) and I cut this with the cutting dies from the Sweetly Sentimental (Hot Foil) Dies (#170052). This was attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimenensionals (#144108) and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The button is from the Adhesive Backed Mini Christmas Buttons (#16823).

Pretty Poinsettia Bundle

 Hello friends,

Here is my first Christmas card for the year. I have used the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle (#168147) for the beautiful flower and sentiment.

The Pretty Poinsettia Dies (#168146) are impressions dies which gives extra embossing. I used Poppy Parade card (#121694) for the flower and Peaceful Pine card (#167692) for the leaves. I attached each of these layers with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The centre of the flower was cut from Gold Foil (#132622) and this was attached with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755).

“Christmas Joy” from the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set (#168140) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Powder was used from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183). Another circle was cut with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580) and I attached the poinsettia to that with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I dry embossed a piece of Basic White card (#166781) with the Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder (#168179) and matted this with Peaceful Pine card. The DSP is from A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper (#168223) and attached to the embossed card. The card front was attached to the Basic White base card.

The circle with the flower was taped to the card and the sentiment was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper

 Hi everyone,

We all have bits and pieces of Designer Series Paper (which we couldn’t throw out), so why not use these scraps for a card. I have used the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper (#165917) for this Christmas card, but of course you could make a card for any occasion.

I punched various designs from the DSP using the Heartfelt Hexagon punch (#162888). I stamped the sentiment from the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) with Night Of Navy ink (#147110).

All the DSP was taped to Basic White card (#166781). I started by attaching the piece with the doves, then the sentiment. From there I attached all the other pieces, then I cut the excess off which was overhanging the white card. I matted this card with Night Of Navy card (#106577) and attached it to the Basic White base card.

The embellishments are from the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots (#166139).

Party Alphabet dies

 Hi friends,

I had a lovely relaxing day today with fellow demonstrators at a “Craft & Connect” gathering. It is always so much fun connecting with other demonstrators,

This card is one of the cards we made today.

Delicate Pines Bundle

 Hello again my friends,

A beautiful layered card using the Delicate Pines Bundle (#166074). This bundle includes the Delicate Pines stamp set (#166067) and the Delicate Pines dies (#166073).

I stamped the large  “pine snowflake” with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and the smaller one with Lost Lagoon ink (#161678). I then stamped the “flower” with Daffodil Delight ink (#147094) on the smaller “snowflake”. These were cut with the Delicate Pines dies and attached them together with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144103).

I cut the detailed small & large pine leaves with the dies. I used Pretty Peacock card (#150886) for the larger leaves and Gold Foil sheet (#132622) for the small ones. For the pine cones I used Pecan Pie card (#161726) for the base and Tungsten Foil from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772), which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The card front is from the Silent Snowfall Specialty Designer Series Paper (#166062) and this was matted with the Pretty Peacock card, then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The “snowflakes” were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The pine cones and detailed pine leaves were all attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The detailed pine leaves are double ended, so I cut them in half before attaching them to the card.

“Merry Christmas” is from the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#166208). These are pre-cut sentiments with Gold foil. The embellishments are from the Faceted Snowflakes (#166077). The twine is from the Black & White & Gold Bakers Twine (#166005).

Peaceful Days stamp set

 Hi again friends,

The Peaceful Days stamp set (#166801) is where you will find this beautiful bird that I have used for this Christmas card.

I stamped the bird with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) on Basic White card (#166781), then cut it with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183).

The card front is Blueberry Bushel card (#146991). I placed 2 strips of tape along the top & bottom of the card, then sprinkled it with Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This is an easy way to get a straight line of heat embossing. I then dry embossed the card with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (#167097), which will be available in November.

“Merry Christmas” was cut with the Words For The Season Dies (#165797) using Basic White card which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). This was attached to the card. The bird was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the bird. The embellishments are from the Faceted Snowflakes (#166077).

Peace On Earth Bundle

 Hi again friends,

The Peace On Earth Bundle (#165925), used here, consists of the Peace On Earth stamp set (#165918) and the Peace On Earth dies (#165924).

I dry embossed the Basic White card front (#166781) with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928) and matted it with the Misty Moonlight card (#153086). This was attached to the Basic White base card. The finished card is a bit larger than normal - 13.5cm x 15.5cm.

“Peace On Earth” was stamped on to piece of Basic White card and it was cut with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580), then attached to the card front.

I cut many of the leaves with a die from the Peace On Earth Dies and attached them around the circle to form a wreath, using Mini Glue Dots (#103683). I used Cloud Cover card (#165293) for the leaves.

The dove, also from the Peace On Earth dies, was cut from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929). A Stampin’ Dimensional (#104430) was used to attach the dove to the card. The Hues Of Flowers (#165930) are the embellishments I added to the wreath.

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.

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.
