Winterly Treetops – Using the Die Cut Birds

I’m sure you know by now that a couple of pieces of the Nests of Winter Designer Series paper have bird images that can be easily cropped using the dies in the Winterly Treetops bundle. This makes it SO easy to create quick and beautiful cards!

I demonstrated how quickly you can put together a card using only die cuts. You can watch that video here.

 

 

  • For the card, I embossed a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock with the Birchwood 3D embossing folder, then adhered it to a 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ card base of Old Olive.
  • Using the dies from the Golden Greenery bundle, I cropped a branch from Mossy Meadow cardstock and one from Silver Foil. The Real Red sprig was cropped from one of the Textured Floral dies. I arranged and glued these to the card front.
  • Using the 7th largest Deckled Circle die, I cropped a circle from a scrap of Season of Elegance DSP, then glued that over the stems of the branches on the card front.
  • Crop one of the bird images from the Nests  of Winter DSP and adhere it with dimensionals on top of the green circle.
  • For the inside, stamp your sentiment oto a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock and adhere it to the inside of the card.

 

 

For this card, I stamped and colored the greenery swags and also used a bird cropped from the Nests of Winter DSP. I demonstrated how I colored the swag on this video using Stampin’ Blends in Lt & Dk Granny Apple Green, DK Shaded Spruce, and Real Red.

I also stamped a few of the pussy willow sprigs, colored the stems with Dk Crumb Cake, and touched the buds with Wink of Stella.

The small pine branches were cropped from Shaded Spruce cardstock.

A 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Nests of Winter DSP was adhered to a 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ card base of Shaded Spruce.

Arrange all of the pieces onto the card front and glue in place. I used dimensionals for the lower swag then tucked the bottom part of the bird under that to give it a more realistic look.

If desired, add a little Wink of Stella to the berries for some added shimmer.

For the inside, stamp your sentiment onto a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock and adhere to the inside.

FB Live Recap: Winterly Treetops Fun-Fold

The Winterly Treetops bundle and coordinating Designer Series Paper is a wonderful set to create Christmas cards or any other wintery cards for birthdays (or just to say hello or thank-you!). There are several options for your creative pleasure with this set. You can choose to stamp the images and color them, use the dies to crop images from the DSP, or just use the beautiful DSP along with a greeting or sentiment of your choice for quick and easy designing.

On my video this week, I showed a few of these options to make Christmas cards. If you missed the live presentation, you can watch the replay here.

In this post, I will explain how to make the fun-fold card that I demonstrated. It’s a very easy fold to make and can be modified by using different Designer papers or focal points. (I’ll do a separate blog post for the other cards.)

Here is how the fun-fold looks when it is closed:

 

 

When you open the fun-fold, it has three separate panels that you can decorate with all of the beautiful Designer Paper that coordinates with the stamp set.

 

 

To make this card, you’ll need the following cardstock:
  • Card Base: Garden Green – 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
  • Piece for Flaps: Garden Green – 9 3/4″ x 4 1/4″, score at 6 1/2″ and 3 1/4″
  • Designer Paper for Base: Nests of Winter DSP – 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Cardstock for Inside Sentiment: Basic White – 4″ x 3″
  • DSP for Remaining Panels: Nests of Winter DSP – 4″ x 3″, cut two using different, coordinating papers
  • Strip: Nests of Winter DSP – 5 1/2″ x 1″
  • Birds: Crop from Nests of Winter DSP
  • Greeting: Scrap of Basic White

 

The greeting and sentiment stamps I used for my card are from a retired set called Still Night. If you don’t have that set, use whatever stamps you have to finish the card.  In place of the silver cord for the bow, you could use ribbon or baker’s twine.

FB Live Recap: Shepherd’s Care Revisited

 

For my video this week, I revisited the Shepherd’s Care stamp set to make some quick and easy Christmas cards. For the cards pictured above, strips of designer paper are the backdrop for the shepherd. You can use whatever designer paper you like to cut the strips, then coordinate the cardstock to match.

 

For these cards, you will need the following cardstock:
  • Card Base: Very Vanilla – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
  • First Layer: Cherry Cobbler OR Pretty Peacock – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, embossed with Timber 3D OR Distressed Tile embossing folder
  • Second Layer: Very Vanilla – 4 1/4″ x 3 1/2″
  • DSP Strips: Season of Elegance OR Oxidized Copper – 5″ x 5/8″
  • Stamped Layer: Very Vanilla  – 4 1/4″ x 2 3/4″, stamped and cropped with 4th largest Deckled Rectangle die
  • Inside First Layer: Cherry Cobbler OR Pretty Peacock – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
  • Second Layer: Very Vanilla –  5 1/4″ x 4″

 

The cards pictured below are very quick to make using a layer of embossed cardstock and a layer of designer paper. Place the stamped shepherd as the focal point. This is a great card to make if you have a lot of cards you want to make but are short on time.

 

 

Here are the cardstock requirements to make these cards:
  • Card Base: Cherry Cobbler OR Very Vanilla – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″

Wintry Changing Leaves

 

The Changing Leaves bundle is great for fall-themed cards and projects, but have you thought about using it for winter or Christmas cards? One of the things I like to do is challenge myself to find ways to design with stamp sets and bundles for multiple occasions or seasons so that I can get more use out of a set. Navy blue and silver always makes for an elegant wintry card, and using those basic colors with the Changing Leaves bundle did not disappoint.

If you’d like to recreate this card, I have the instructions and supply list below.

  • Start with a base of Night of Navy – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″.
  • For the front layers, emboss a 4 7/8″  3 5/8″ piece of Smoky Slate cardstock with the Changing Leaves 3D embossing folder, then adhere to a 5″ x 3 3/4″  piece of Basic White cardstock. Attach this to the card front.
  • Stamp the leaf images with Night of Navy ink onto scraps of Basic White cardstock, then crop with the large die.
  • Crop two lacy leaves clusters, one solid small leaf cluster, and a sprig from Silver Foil paper. Snip one of the leaf clusters apart and use the leaves individually.
  • Arrange the cropped piece onto the card front and glue in place. Refer to photo for placement.
  • Use a glue dot to adhere a small bow made with the Silver Trim ribbon to the leaf stems.
  • Add a few silver Adhesive Metallic Backed Gems to the card front for extra bling.

 

 

  • For the inside, stamp a sentiment of your choice using Night of Navy ink onto a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. If desired, stamp a leaf or partial leaf onto the lower left corner of this piece. Adhere to the inside of the card.

Golden Changing Leaves

 

Here’s another idea for using the Changing Leaves bundle to create a card that would be perfect for a winter birthday or Christmas. Here again, I’m using a typical Autumn-type set for a winter design. I hope this design inspires you to look at your stamp sets with fresh eyes to see how you can use them year-round!

If you’d like to recreate this card, the instructions and supply list are listed below.

  • Begin with a card base of Blackberry Bliss of 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″.
  • Emboss a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of vellum with the Changing Leaves 3D embossing folder and adhere to the card base. NOTE: Glue and/or tape runners will show the vellum. Use a few small glue dots in the corners and in the middle to adhere the vellum.
  • Crop the large leaf using a 5 1/4″ x 3 3/4″piece of Distressed Gold specialty paper.
  • Crop the maple leaf from a 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ piece of Season of Elegance DSP.
  • Crop the remaining leaves and sprigs from Blackberry Bliss and Basic White cardstock. (Refer to photo). If desired, add a touch of Wink of Stella to the small white leaves.
  • Arrange all of the leaves and sprigs onto the card front and glue all but the maple leaf in place. The maple leaf is attached with dimensionals. It will take an extra minute for the glue to dry on the vellum.
  • Use Blackberry Bliss ink to stamp the greeting onto a scrap of Basic White and crop with the small label die. Adhere to the card front with dimensionals.
  • Make a small bow with the Gold Metallic Trim ribbon and adhere to the card front with a glue dot.
  • For the inside, use Blackberry Bliss ink to stamp a sentiment of your choice on a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock and adhere to the inside of the card.

Mini Pumpkin Farm Fun-Fold

 

With the Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set, you can create the prettiest little pumpkin farm settings. This card is a simple fun-fold card with the pumpkin farm centered within the Spotlight On Nature circle die.

Here’s how to make this card:

  • The card base is Old Olive 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ and  2 1/8″. Fold back and adhere the left side at the score line to make a 2 1/8″ front flap.
  • Adhere a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to the inside and a 5 3/8″ x 2″ piece of Very Vanilla to the front flap.
  • Layer a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Country Woods DSP to the inside and a 5 1/4″ x 1 7/8″ piece to the front flap.
  • Crop two circles of Cajun Craze from the large Spotlight on Nature die and two Very Vanilla circles from the next-largest Spotlight on Nature die. (Refer to photo to see which die cuts to use).
  • Stamp a sentiment of your choice onto one of the Very Vanilla circles and adhere to a Cajun Craze circle. Center and adhere this to the inside of the card. For my card, I used a sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set.

 

 

  • For the front pumpkin scene, refer to the photo for placement of the images. Use Old Olive to stamp the grass. You may have to stamp the image a couple of times to get the desired effect!
  • Use Cherry Cobbler to stamp the barn and Early Espresso to stamp the roof.
  • Use Pecan Pie to stamp the tiny fence on each side of the barn.
  • Using Crumb Cake, stamp the tree trunk images twice, and then use Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze to stamp the leaves for the trees.
  • Using Pecan Pie, stamp the large fence near the bottom of the circle.
  • Use Pumpkin Pie to stamp the pumpkins and Pecan Pie for the pumpkin stems. Stamp as many pumpkins as you want in various sizes.
  • Use a Water Painter and Balmy Blue ink to add a little color to the sky. Using a clean Water Painter, add Crumb Cake ink for the ground around the pumpkins and up to the grassy area. When adding the sky and ground colors, be careful not to touch your stamped images, or they will get muddied!
  • Adhere the finished stamped circle to the Cajun Craze circle. Place dimensionals on the back of the LEFT HALF of this piece. CLOSE the flap. Align the circle over the circle on the inside of the card so the inside circle is completely hidden when the card is closed. Refer to photo.
  • If desired, stamp a line of pumpkins on the lower left corner of the envelope using Pumpkin Pie ink and Pecan Pie for the stems.
