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.

Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder

Welcome everyone,

There is a great range of new products now available from the Online exclusives, including this beautiful Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder (#168179), which will be suitable for all types of celebrations.

I cut 4 different colours of card 4cm x 11cm and cut diagonally from top left to bottom right. Another piece (cut the same size) was cut into a triangle, from the top left and top right, to the midpoint (2cm) at the bottom. This piece fitted in the middle. The card used is Crushed Curry (#131288), Daffodil Delight (#121680), Darling Duckling (#165294) and Lemon Lolly (#161729).

I dry embossed these pieces of card with the embossing folder then taped them to a piece of Very Vanilla card (#166785) - 9cm x 13.4cm. I then cut the excess DSP off around the card. This was matted with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). I wrapped the Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack (#155475) around the card front, then attached it to the Very Vanilla base card.

The balloons are from the Addressed To You stamp set (#167010) and the sentiment is from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875). These were stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Heat Embossed with Gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The balloons were cut with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183) and the sentiment with a Nested Essentials die (#161597). These were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Flower Accents (#165171) were added to the card.
