CURVY CHRISTMAS CARD

For this card I wanted to layer lots of curved die cut pieces of the CLASSIC CHRISTMAS 6″X 6″ DSP. The colour combination of CHERRY COBBLER, SAHARA SAND and SHADED SPRUCE are perfect for Christmas.

Lots of lovely stars, rather than snowflakes, reflect many of the Christmas trees that will soon be decorated in time for the holiday season.

I have just ordered a new tree for our apartment. We only used a little table top one for our first Christmas in Brisbane. It is a ‘flat pack’ tree made from birch. When it is assembled and decorated, I share a photo.

How are you going with your Christmas card making?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.

A CHRISTMAS WATERFALL

It has been such a long time since I made a waterfall card. So, I decided to make one with a Christmas card.

After looking through my new stamp sets, from the August through December Mini Catalogue. I decided to use the GIFT WRAPPED STAMP SET.

That meant that I would need to reconfigure the measurements for the waterfall panels because the ribbon images are larger than the standard instructions that so many lovely demonstrators and stampers have shared online.

I chose Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Whisper White as my colour theme.

This was also a great opportunity to use some of the products from the QUITE CURVY VARIETY BUNDLE that is available to demonstrators this month and for customers from 3 NOVEMBER 2020–4 JANUARY 2021.

The bundle has two stamp sets and I used the CURVEY CHRISTMAS STAMP SET (155364). The curved stars stamp is so gorgeous.

I also used a piece of paper from the CLASSIC CHRISTMAS 6″X 6″ DESIGNER SERIES PAPER (155969). It is such an amazing bundle of DSP in Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Shaded Spruce and Whisper White. The designs are perfect for Christmas but can be used for other occasions as well.

The grid style paper is definitely a favourite.

Each bow design was stamped using Shaded Spruce and then coloured using STAMPIN’ BLENDS.

As the tab is pulled down, each bow is presented and the greeting is slowly revealed. The greeting is from the TAG BUFFET STAMP SET.

The final panel has the curved stars image from the CURVY CHRISTMAS STAMP SET and the greeting and mistletoe is from the TAG BUFFET STAMP SET.

The tab is a 1/2″ strip of Shaded Spruce that has been punched using the BANNERS PICK A PUNCH.

This card does not open out, like most cards, but there is a piece Whisper White cardstock on the back that will allow a space to write a message. It has the same curved stars image, from CURVY CHRISTMAS, and another greeting from GIFT WRAPPED – “Wrapped especially for you”.

I was very pleased with the way this waterfall card turned out. What do you think?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

I only have a partial visual product list to share with you today because the CURVY CHRISTMAS STAMP SET or the CLASSIC CHRISTMAS 6″X 6″ DSP is not yet available. These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.
