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.

Ornamental Christmas Bundle

Hello again friends,

I have used the Ornamental Christmas Bundle (#166001) for this easy Christmas card.

The sentiment from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set (#165991) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was then cut with the bauble die from the Ornamental Christmas die (#166000).

The Party Banners dies (#165264) were used to cut the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) and the Basic White card (#166781). The Gold foil banner was dry embossed with one of the Glass & Garden Embossing Folders (#165597).The white banner was cut in half and attached to the gold banner at the top & bottom.

The Real Red card front (#106578) was dry embossed with the Forever Plaid embossing folder (#164049). The banners were taped to the card front. The bauble was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I threaded the Twine from the Black and White & Gold Bakers Twine (#166005), through the bauble and wrapped it over the card front. The card front was taped to the Basic White base card.

The Gold Flower Accents (#165171) were attached to the bauble.

Ornamental Christmas Bundle

Welcome again my friends,

I have used the Ornamental Christmas Bundle (#166001) as well as the Modern Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165990) for this Christmas card. These products are now available from the Online Exclusives.

The Designer Paper consists of contemporary black, white & gold with modern design patterns with Gold foil on one side. It’s sometimes hard to decide which side of the paper to use with so many beautiful designs. I chose the black & white trees for the card front. This was attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I attached one of the Large Gold Hoops (#166004) to the card front with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Tis The Season” from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set (#165991) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder (#165678). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. This was cut with a die from the Ornamental Christmas dies (#166000). I used one of the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders (#165597) to embossing part of the sentiment. This was taped to the card.

The Christmas trees are also from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set and Gold embossed. The co-ordinating Ornamental Christmas dies cut the trees. These were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The star is also cut with one of the dies and attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Traditional Sparkling Sequins (#165875) were added to the card.
