Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone,

With all the Christmas cards I have made already this year I just realised today I haven't got enough. Here’s an easy one using the beautiful Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165853).

The DSP was matted with Real Red card (#106578) then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

“Merry Christmas” is from the Traditional Labels stamp set (#165854) and I stamped this with Real Red ink (#147084).

The Real Red and Basic White rectangles were cut with the Textured Notes dies (#165555). These were attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I stamped the flower from the Delicate Pines stamp set (#166067) with Real Red ink. The flower and Real Red & Granny Apple Green card (#147014) were all cut with the same die from the Delicate Pines dies (#166073). These were attached together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and attached to the card.

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).

Delicate Pines Bundle

Hi everyone,

I do like the traditional colours for Christmas cards, so here is another one with red, green and a touch of gold.

The stamp set for the “snowflake pines” and the flower is Delicate Pines (#166067). I used Shaded Spruce ink (#147088) and Real Red ink (#147084) to stamp the images. These were cut with the Delicate Pines dies (#166073). For the flower I stamped 2 images and attached them together with a Mini Glue Dot (#103683). The small Gold Foil (#132622) and Shaded Spruce (#147006) pine leaves were also cut with the dies. I used Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of these 2 pieces of card.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (#164049), then matted with the Shaded Spruce card. This was taped to the Basic White base card.

The Banners are cut with the Party Banners dies (#165264) using Real Red card (#106578) and Shaded Spruce card. After cutting the Shaded Spruce banner, I cut it in half and taped the pieces to the top and bottom of the Real Red banner. The banners were attached to the card.

The large “snowflake” was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the flower was attached with a Mini Glue Dot. The small detailed pine leaves were added.

A red sequin from the Traditional Sparkling Sequins (#165875) was added to the centre of the flower. The sentiment is from the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#166208). This pack contains 6 adhesive backed sheets of pre-cut Christmas sentiments, with Gold foil for the sentiments.

Metallic Textures Rub Ons

Hi again everyone,

The beautiful gold wreath is from the Metallic Textures Rub-Ons (#165270). There are both gold & silver in the set and they are very easy to apply to your card.

To apply these rub ons, cut the design from the sheet, peel away the backing sheet, and place the back (or silver side) to the card. Rub the image with your fingers until the image transfers to the card. Peel away the paper to reveal the completed image.

I then cut this with one of the Spotlight On Nature dies (#163580).

The DSP is from the Regal Distressed Specialty Designer Series Paper (#164037) and matted with Cherry Cobbler card (#121681). A small strip of Cherry Cobbler card was attached to the card and the sentiment from the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#166208) was attached on top with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

The flower was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink (#147083) using a stamp from the Delicate Pines (#166067). I stamped the flower twice and cut it with a Delicate Pines die (#166073). Using the same die, I cut a piece of the green All Seasons Velvet Specialty Paper (#166063). These 3 pieces were attached together with Mini Glue Dots (#103683), offsetting each one slightly.

The circle was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the flower with Mini Glue Dots. The embellishments are the Flower Accents (#165171).
