In The Pines Bundle

Hi everyone,

Have you finished making your Christmas cards yet? Or perhaps haven’t started!! All I have to do is write on all mine so had better get that done soon and get them posted so I don't leave it till the last minute. Here’s another Christmas card for some inspiration if needed and easy to make.

The base card is Real Red (#106578). I attached the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper (#153486) to the same size Whisper White card (#106549), then attached this to the Granny Apple Green card (#147014). The Real Red Sheer Ribbon (#153535) was wrapped around the card front. The pine tree from In The Pines stamp set (#p153448) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129). The Heat Tool (#129056) was used to set the powder. The 2 trees were cut with dies from Pine Woods dies (#153563). The star and unstamped tree were cut from Gold Foil Sheets (#132622). The die for the star is from the Stitched Stars Dies (#150653). I used Adhesive Sheets (#152334) on the back of the Gold Foil before cutting with the dies.

The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set (#c150513) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084), then cut with a Stitched So Sweetly Die (#151690). I coloured the stamped tree using Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885) and attached this and the sentiment to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the Wonderful Gems (#153536).

I hope your day has been fantastic!!

Poinsettia Dies

Hi everyone,

I love the Poinsettias from the Poinsettia Place Suite and was wanting to make a Christmas Frame so I have finally had a chance to make one and this was quite easy to make.

The background paper is from the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper (#153486) and I attached this to a piece of 12”x12” Whisper White cardstock (#124302).

The flowers and berries were all cut from the Poinsettia Dies (#153522).  I used the Green Foil from the Red & Green Foil Sheets (#153510) for the base of the flowers. The red layers were cut from the Red Velvet Paper Pack (#153490). I used Gold Foil Sheets (#132622) for the top layer of the flowers and for the berries. The flowers were assembled using Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and attached to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The berries were attached with Mini Glue dots.

I used a retired die for Merry Christmas and this was also cut with the Red Velvet and glued using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309).

The greeting from Wrapped In Christmas stamp set (#153481) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a Stitched Rectangle die (#151820), then attached to a piece of Red Velvet. 

The red gems from the Wonderful Gems (#153536) were attached to the centre of the poinsettias.

Have a great day.

Sweetest Time

Hi everyone,

The Sweetest Time Bundle (#155169) used on this card consists of the Sweetest Time stamp set (#153436) and the Sweetest Borders Dies (#153559).

The candles were stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) onto the Whisper White card (#106549). The flames were stamped with Crushed Curry ink (#147087). This card was matted onto the Red Foil from the Red & Green Foil Sheets (#153510). The green foil also from this pack was used for the holly leaves using dies from the Sweetest Border Dies. The Brass Foil Sheets (#153057) were used for the fine leaves and the border pieces. These border pieces were cut with a die from the Many Medallions Dies (#153584). The berries were stamped with Real Red ink and cut with a co-ordinating die. These were attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). I added Shimmery Crystal Effects (#150892) to the berries giving a subtle shimmer and some dimension to the berries. The sentiment is also from the Sweetest Time stamp set and I used Real Red ink. This was cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die (#151820). The Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper (#153524) was attached to the Whisper White base card after all the elements were attached to it, making sure to only use adhesive where it can’t be seen through the vellum.

Have a great day!!
