ANOTHER CHRISTMAS IN JULY CARD TO SHARE

I chose the Cottage Wreaths Bundle for this card. It has such a classic Christmas look.

This card stated with a base made from Garden Green cardstock and a piece of patterned paper from the Sweetest Christmas 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper

Using Soft Suede, I stamped the twigs wreath before stamping the leaves wreath in Soft Succulent. Then I the individual leaves using Garden Green. Finally, the cluster of three berries were stamped in Sweet Sorbet.

The Christmas greeting was also stamped using Sweet Sorbet.

I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut the stamped Basic White panel. A scalloped circle die was used to cut the Garden Green piece. These were then adhered together before having Stampn’ Dimensionals attached so that it could be popped up on the card front.

The last step was to use the Country Wreaths Dies to cut the bow that I added to the wreath.

I think that I will go back and add some Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics to the stamped cluster of berries. What do you think?

Another card tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

A DAY LATE WITH THIS PROJECT!

I was having so much fun preparing this project for my Facebook Live that I completely forgot to photgraph and post it. So, I finished the Live this morning and have just taken these photos.

Thanks for popping by to see how cute this gift box is. It is filled with Christmas gift tags. I used the Be Jolly Stamp Set for this project.

The gift box uses Poppy Pararde and Shaded Spruce card, as well as a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Brights 6″x 6″ stack. The box base was cut to 5-3/4″x 4-1/4″ and then scored on all four sides at 1″. The lid was cut to 4-3/4″x 3-1/4″ and scored at ‘a hair’ less than 1/2″.

This Santa image was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured using Stampin’ Blends – Black, Cinnamon Cider, Petal Pink and Poppy Parade. Santa was then fussy cut and popped up on the lid using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting, from the Be Jolly Stamp Set, was stamped with Shaded Spruce.

When the lid comes off 12 gift tags are revealed. I used one of the Seasonal Labels Dies to make this tag.

There are four different tags – two Santas, a Christmas tree and Santa’s sleigh. These were all coloured using Stampin’ Blends before being fussy cut. Santa’s beards have Clear Wink of Stella brushed across them.

Some of them have been embossed using the snowflakes Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. The others were stamped with ‘be jolly’ using the Stamparatus to hinge-step stamp the greeting evenly along the tag.

Each coloured tag has a white tag adhered to its back. This piece was stamped with ‘to’ and ‘from’.

Now all I need to do is decide who to give this gift box of tags to.

Until next time, happy stamping.

WORLD CARD MAKING DAY 2021

Saturday was World Card Making Day and I spent some time making Christmas cards with a friend. They were great simple cards featuring the Tidings of Christmas 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalogue.

Each card has the same layout and greeting just different combinations of the paper and ink colours.

There are six different cards in total. Each card uses one sheet of paper and shows both designs. This is then repeated on the card insert and envelope.

Each card also has three Clear Epoxy Essentials that have been coloured using a coordinating Stampin’ Blend.

Here are the other five cards!

What do you think of these super simple Christmas card?
