Sentimental Wishes

Hello friends,

Another Christmas card today, this time using the Sentimental Wishes Bundle (#164220).

I stamped the stocking from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set (#164210) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this were Poppy Parade (#154958), Bubble Bath (#161675), Balmy Blue (#154830), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Granny Apple Green (#154885) & Flirty Flamingo (#154884). A Sentimental Wishes die (#164219) cut the stocking.

“Merry” from the More Wishes stamp set (#162324) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050) onto Basic White card (#159228). This was then dry embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (#162026) and matted with Granny Apple Green card (#147014). A strip of the Take A Bow 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#164309) was attached to the card front.

“Christmas” from the Peaceful Season stamp set (#164145) was stamped with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095) and cut with the co-ordinating Peaceful Season die (#164020).

The sentiment & stocking were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Jolly Words stamp set

Hi stamping friends,

I thought I had made all my Christmas cards but realised I still need a few more. For this one I have used the Jolly Words stamp set (#162087).

I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The Stampin’ Blends to colour this are Real Red (#154899), Wild Wheat (#161661), Tahitian Tide (#159221), Parakeet Party (#159220) and Natural Tones - Medium -500 & 600 (#159462), Medium Light - 800 (#159463) and Light- 1000 (#159465).

I used the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (#162026) to dry emboss the Vellum (#106584) which was then matted with Blueberry Bushel card (#146991) and attached to the Basic White base card.

After daubering the edges with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138) I attached the stamped image using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) then added extra (retired) snowflakes to the card.

Merriest Trees

Hi again everyone,

I have used the Merriest Trees Bundle (#162048) for this Christmas card.

I stamped the tree from the Merriest Trees stamp set (#162043) with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102) for the background and Lost Lagoon Ink (#161678) for the more detailed image. The dies to cut the tree are from the Merriest Trees dies (#162047). There are 5 different dies which can be used for the tree. There is one die that will cut the whole tree or you can cut the different layers to cut different size trees. I have cut all the layers then overlapped each layer slightly as I assembled them onto the card.

I cut a piece of the Garden Walk 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#162227) with one of the Patchwork Pieces dies (#161592) and attached this to a piece of card the same size as the die cut pieces. This was attached to the Basic White card (#159228) which was dry embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (#162026). The edges were daubered with Sweet Sorbet ink (#159219). The base card is also Basic White.

The layers of the tree were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used Adhesive Sheet (#152334) on the back of the Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) for the string of decorations which were cut with the Merriest Trees dies. The baubles from the Merriest Trees stamp set were stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink and also cut with these dies. The presents were stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink & Crushed Curry ink (#147087). The pot for the tree and the presents were also cut with the dies from the same set. The star was cut from Gold Foil & Daffodil Delight card (#121680).

“Love & Joy” is from the Merriest Trees stamp set and stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink, then cut with a Cracker & Treat Box die (#159182). Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach this to the card. The gold embellishments are from the Gold Blooming Pearls (#162238).

Radiant Light stamp set

Hell again my friends,

There are so many beautiful Christmas products in the new mini catalogue, I know you will want to get your hands on them. This candle image is from the Radiant Light stamp set (#162111).

I stamped the candles with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White card (#158228). This was coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Daffodil Delight (#154883), Granny Apple Green (#154885) and Shaded Spruce (#154903). I used Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) on the candles & flames. For the berries I used the Real Red from the Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310). This will take a bit of time to dry so best to do this last and put the card aside. I cut this and the Daffodil Delight card (#121680) with a Nested Essentials die (#161597).

The Daffodil Delight card front was dry embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (#162026). I attached a piece of the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (#162178) to the card, then attached the matted stamped image with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Merry Christmas” from the Stars At Night stamp set (#162000) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and then cut with another Nested Essentials die. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach the sentiment.
