Another Flurry of Wishes Christmas Card

One of my favorite Christmas stamp sets is the "Flurry of Wishes" set. I've always been a sucker for those snowflake stamps! They're just so pretty! Today I'm showing you a card that is filled with them.

I used the double snowflake stamp and inked one flake with Lost Lagoon and the other with Smoky Slate, occasionally switching colours. I then placed a piece of Vellum in exactly the same size as the Whisper White over top.

Next came the creation of the layered snowflake medallion, which you see close up below.   

I had a lot of fun playing with the Sequins and Rhinestones to embellish around the medallion.

You can see the side view next, and notice that the only dimensional pop up was given to the Silver Glimmer Paper on the medallion.

Originally, I had planned to used the snowflake you see on the inside of the card, below, for the front medallion. But, I messed up the embossing powder on it and realized it might be too dark against the Silver Glimmer Paper. So when working on the inside of the card, I figured out how to use the snowflake after all and covering the little bit that did not heat emboss well.

Sometimes a mistake can turn out to be something that you can use in a way you never thought of!

So wonderful of you to take the time out of your busy December schedule to have a peek.

Happy Stamping!

Another Easy "Home For Christmas" DSP Card

I still have some scraps of "Home For Christmas" DSP from classes and other cards made, so I want to use them up. I have enough to make a few more cards which you will see from time to time till Christmas.

I really love the "Versatile Christmas" stamp set, and sets like this, that have some larger sentiments, are great to use along with DSP cards.

The added gold sparkle of the Gold Cord Trim and Gold Glimmer Paper, are such a nice pop of Christmas glitter for this card.

You can see the layering in the next photo.

...and as you will see below, for the sentiment, I decided to stamp it in the bottom right corner which often is blank after writing in the card, and it won't interfere in the middle of your writing.

If you wish to have a mass producing kind of card this one is a great one for that.

Here are the measurements -
Outside
Mossy Meadow Base - 4 1/4" x 11" (Score at 5 1/2")
Very Vanilla - 5 1/4" w x 4" h
DSP - 5" w x 3 3/4"h
Very Vanilla - 4 3/8" w x 3 1/8" h
DSP - 4 1/4"w x 3" h
Real Red - 3 5/8" w x 1 3/8"h
Gold Glimmer - 3 5/8" w x 1/2" h
Inside
DSP - 5 1/4" w x 4" h
Very Vanilla - 5" w x 3 3/4"h

Just cut all the pieces, form assembly piles, and create your mass of Christmas Cards!

Have Fun!

Lighthearted Leaves Thanksgiving Card 1

This is a short posting. Just showing you a couple of Thanksgiving cards that I made several of. Here in Canada, we just had our Thanksgiving.

It was a lot of fun to stamp the "Thankful" as a background for this card.

Side view.

 And inside view.

 I made five of this card, and tomorrow I will show the second card I made.

Thank you for stopping by. Below are the items I used in t he making of this card.

Home For Christmas DSP Cards - #1, 2 & 3

There is a lot to share with you over the next few days, so instead of showing you the details of each card individually in each post, I've decided to reveal them three at a time. To keep the posts from getting too long because of that, I will only be showing you a single outside shot of each card. The inside will be revealed to those that sign up for the class.

For this first card, I fussy cut some of the buildings and trees. The snowy landscape is created by tearing a piece of Whisper White cardstock and smearing Dazzling Diamonds on the torn part. I then created a layered scene by using a single or double layer of Dimensionals.

Here is what I used int he making of this card.

Next is this sweet Reindeer card. 

A very simple card, but very effective. I fussy cut a couple of Reindeer and popped them up over the sentiment. Inside I have one that is laying down in the the lower right corner

What I used to create this card.

...And the third card for today.

I used my 2" circle punch to get this image, and used the circle dies to mat it, and create the Silver Glimmer Paper ring. The red banner is positioned under the doily while the white one is placed over the doily and ring and then positioning the matted image over top.

All Ye Faithful #5

This is the second post for today. If you wish to see the WEEKLY DEALS, just scroll down to the next post.

Sometimes I don't know where my head is. I don't know how I forget to post this card! The last of the "All Ye Faithful" cards.

Sponge ink blending is the technique for this card, and I used Dazzling Details around the gold Itty Bitty Star as well as dots for other stars.

Next you see the layering, as I always show you.

And inside...

So this means that tomorrow I can start to show you the "Dove of Peace" cards. I'm keeping this short as there are many things for me to catch up on. Thanks for stopping by.

All Ye Faithful #4

Another Monochromatic card! Ever thought of using Delight Dijon for a Christmas card? I was thinking 'stars' when I decided on this non-traditional Christmas colour.       

Since I was using the Shepherd for this card, I thought perhaps I could use the new "Woodland" textured impressions folder for the the background on this card.

I took the 'stars' stamp from the "Perpetual Calendar" stamp set to create the starry background for the shepherd.

Above you see the layering for this card. And, below you see the inside.

After my signature you will find the products used to create this card. But before you check that out and leave, I would like to share another Stampin' Up! video with you. It's about the new Big Shot PRECISION BASE PLATE.

Hope you enjoyed today's post and video. See you tomorrow, and happy stamping!

All Ye Faithful #3

For this card I wanted to play with non-traditional colours and a more contemporary kind of Christmas Card. A simple paper inlay struck me as something fun to do, so I used Christmas Stars! This is a 5 x 5 square card.

I masked the sentiment so that I could change it from a one liner to a two liner so that it would fit on the Note Tag.

This next photo is quite blurry. Sorry about that, but at least you get the idea of what I did for the inside of the card.

You can see below, after my signature, what I used to create this card.

I would also like to share with you today, another Stampin' Up video. This is a fun Kit that can be created for a triple duty display for Thanksgiving, Halloween & Christmas! 

A fun project, right!

All Ye Faithful #2

Before I begin, I must apologize for the quality of my photos. Someone played with the settings on my camera, and I'm still trying to figure out what they were.

This is pretty much a monochromatic card in Mossy Meadow, my favorite of the darker greens.

I partially folder embossed the top portion of the card. A little hard to see, but there are two scored lines above and two below the sentiment strip. Below you can see that only popped up part are the three ovals.

For the inside of the card, I only stamped the phrase without any other stamping or embellishment.

When you stop by tomorrow, You will see how I used Delightful Dijon for a Christmas Card colour!

Thank you for stopping by for a look. Happy stamping!

All Ye Faithful #1

This card is cased from the Holiday Catalogue on page 21. It's not exactly the same, but the simple beauty of this card is still there. We are using a religious stamp for this Christmas Club Card class since some of us love to have a few to send out.

In the close up below you can better see the embellishment created with Gold Cording Trim, Snowflake Elements, and a punched gold foil star.

To check out the layering of this card you can see it in this next photo. It may not be a good card to mail in a regular envelope, with the thickness of the embellishment, but you could send it in a bubble envelope.

I hope you like the inside of the card, too. Not that it is different from many others, but it turned out to be a good idea even using stamps of people.

So there you have one of the cards of the class with more photo details. See you tomorrow for another card from this class set.

Happy stamping!
