Christmas Lights

Hi friends,

A simple Christmas card using the Christmas Lights Bundle (#159961) and the Brightest Glow Bundle (#159552).

The DSP is from the Boughs Of Holly Designer Series Paper (#159600) this was attached to the Basic White base card (#159228). I used one of the dies from the Labels Aglow dies (#159551) on the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237). This was attached to the DSP.

The tree was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) and cut with a Twinkling Lights Die (#159541). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 

The sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555) then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was also cut with a Labels Aglow die.

I used the White Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) to add the “decorations” to the tree, Even though this is white, the green colour from the ink has shown through to give a lovely subtle green colour.

I can’t believe it is already November and Christmas is just around the corner. I hope you have started (or perhaps you have finished) your Christmas cards. I still have some to make but hope they will all be finished soon.

Christmas Lights

Hello stamping friends,

An easy but effective card using the Christmas Lights Bundle (#159961).

I stamped the Christmas tree from the Christmas Lights stamp set (#159538). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155554). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). 

I then placed the piece of Basic White card (#159228) on the left side of the tree and placed the die in place as shown below.

I carefully removed the white card with the die in place and cut it with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (#149653). This removes part of the Christmas tree. I then dry embossed the white card with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder (#158804) and attached it to the card. The card front was attached to the Basic White base card.

The sentiment from Brightest Glow Stamp set (#159542) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). This was cut with a die from Labels Aglow (#159551). I cut another circle from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183) and attached this to the die cut sentiment. This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). A silver Festive Pearl (#159963) was added to the top of the tree.

This technique could be done with many stamped images with co-ordinating dies.

Twinkling Lights dies

Hi stamping friends,

A variation of the Christmas card from a couple of days ago using the Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159535).

The DSP for the card front & the square Soft Succulent are from the Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper. I wrapped the Gold Shimmer Ribbon (#152156) around the card front and attched this to the Soft Succulent base card (#155777).

I cut the snowflake from the Gold Glimmer Paper which is part of the Glimmer Specialty Paper (#159537). The other 2 colours in the pack are Very Vanilla & Evening Evergreen. The die for this snowflake is from the Twinkling Lights Dies (#159541). I cut the snowflake in half and attached it to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The square DSP was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set (#159542) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and Embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#155555). As usual this needs to be set with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Stylish Shapes Die (#159183) was used to cut the sentiment. 

A lovely glittery card.

The beautiful Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159535) has a lovely range of designs great for Christmas cards. Two of the designs have been used on this card.

The green & gold paper was cut with a Twinkling Lights Die (#159541) for the Christmas tree, I attached the red DSP to the Very Vanilla card (#106550). I dry embossed another piece of Very Vanilla card with one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders (#155433) and attached this to the card.

The tree was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). Season’s Greetings is from the Leaves Of Holly stamp set (#159601). This was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) then cut with a die from the Natural Prints dies (#158800).

The gold embellishments are the Festive Pearls (#159963) and added to the sentiment and tree.

Twinkling Lights Dies

Welcome friends,

A very easy Christmas card using a die from the Twinkling Lights Dies (#159541) to cut the Christmas tree.

I cut one tree from the Light Aglow 6”x6” Specialty Designer Series Paper (#159535) and the other one from Evening Evergreen card (#155575). I dry embossed the Evening Evergreen tree with one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders (#155433).

The Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (#159237) was matted with Evening Evergreen card, then attached to the Very Vanilla base card (#106550). The Evening Evergreen tree was taped to the card, then the other tree was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the Leaves Of Holly stamp set (#159601) was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink (#155576) and cut with a Stylish Shapes Die (#159183). This was also attached with Dimensionals. The star at the top of the tree is an Adhesive Backed Star (#159965).

I used the White from the Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) to add the “pearls” to the tree. This does take a little time to set, so ensure it is the last thing you do on the card and put it aside till it sets so it doesn’t get smudged. There are 2 other colours in this pack of Enamel Effects which are Real Red & Black.
