Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hello again,

A pretty Christmas card using the Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (#165853).

This DSP has 2 images which can be cut with the Christmas Greenery dies (#165872), including the one on this card. There is also a stamp with the same images from the Christmas Greenery stamp set (#165870), but not used on this card.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder (#165928) and attached to the Poppy Parade card (#121694). I wrapped the Shaded Spruce Gold Edged Ribbon (#166078) around the card front, then this was attached to the Basic White base card.

Another piece of Poppy Parade card was cut with a label die from the Peace On Earth dies (#165924) and attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The die cut floral image was taped to the card.

“Merry Christmas” was cut with the Words For The Season dies (#165797). I used Shaded Spruce card (#147006), backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). After cutting the words, just remove the backing and these detailed die cuts are easily attached to the card.

The Faceted Snowflakes (#166077) were added to the card.

Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper

Hello friends,

This designer paper is from the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper (#166066).

The strips of DSP were taped to the Cherry Cobbler card (#121681), then this was taped to the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) and attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The tree from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set (#165991) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I added the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678). This was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). This Pretty Peacock card was cut with a circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies (#159183). The circle was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Merry” & “Christmas” were cut with the Words For The Season dies (#165797) using Cherry Cobbler card which I had backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The Adhesive Sheet is great for the more detailed dies, making it easy to attach the detailed cut outs to the card.

I added Glimmer to the tree using the Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897).

Party Banners dies

Hello again friends,

I have layered 2 of the banners from the Party Banners dies (#165264) for today’s card. There are 14 banner dies in this set so a great range of sizes for your projects.

The banners were cut from Summer Splash card (#163798) and Fresh Freesia card (#155614). I dry embossed the Fresh freesia card with the now retired Mini Corrugated embossing folder. The banners were taped together.

“Birthday” from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (#165523) was stamped with Summer Splash ink (#163809) onto the Basic White card front (#166781). This was matted with Summer Splash card and attached to the Basic White base card.

I stamped the floral images with the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were cut with the co-ordinating Extraordinary Flora die (#165244). The Stampin’ Blends to colour these are Fresh Freesia (#155518), Highland Heather (#154887), Flirty Flamingo (#154884), Summer Splash (#163826), Pool Party (#154894) and Shy Shamrock (#163825). These were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Happy” was cut with a die from Words For The Season (#165797) using Summer Splash card backed with Adhesive Sheet (#153334) making it easy to attach to the card.

The embellishments are the Frosted Iridescent Dots (#165766). Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was added to the flowers to give some sparkle.

Elegant Pines Snowflakes Designer Series Paper

Hi again,

The Elegant Pine Snowflakes 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#166066) is another DSP which has matching dies to cut some of the images. These are the Delicate Pines dies (#166073) which also co-ordinate with the Delicate Pines stamp set (#166067). I have used the DSP & dies for these pine snowflakes images.

I also cut the fine pine leaves with the dies using Shaded Spruce card (#147006) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

The circle was cut with a Spotlight On Nature die (#163580) using the Bright Copper from the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper (#163772). I also used this metallic paper for the sentiment which were cut with the Words For The Season Dies (#165797).

The Traditional Wreath Embossing Folder (#165874) was used to dry embossed with the Basic White card front (#166781), then this was matted with Shaded Spruce card.

The circle was taped to the card and I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the larger snowflake. Mini Glue Dots (#103683) were used to attach the 2 smaller die cut pieces to the centre of the snowflake. The small pine leaves were attached - these are backed with Adhesive Sheet.

The embellishments are from the retired Earth Tones Shimmer Gems.

Christmas Greenery bundle

Hi friends,

One of my favourite Christmas products in the new catalogue is the Traditions Of Christmas Suite Collection (#165877). This includes 2 bundles, embossing folder, designer paper, embellishments & ribbon. For this card I have used the Christmas Greenery Bundle (#165873).

I stamped the floral image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set (#165870) twice, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166785).

These images were then cut with the a Christmas Greenery dies (#165872). I then cut the images in half and cut some of the leaves off separately.

The Basic White card front was dry embossed with the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder (#163789). This was matted with Real Red card (#106578) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I cut the circle from the Pretty Peacock card (#150886) with a Stylish Shapes die (#159183). This was attached to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The floral images & leaves were arranged around the circle. These were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

“Merry Christmas” was cut using the Words For The Season dies (#165797). I used Gold Foil Sheet (#132622) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The embellishments are Flower Accents (#165171).
