Time 4 Stamping

Tutorial: Peaceful Nativity

The Peaceful Nativity stamp set has lovely images that are great for coloring – but they also look very elegant when embossed in gold. As an added bonus, this card is one that is pretty quick to make because there is no coloring to do. The gold embossing is complimented by the Gold Foil paper as well as the gold stars in the Designer Paper.

Cut Cardstock:

Card Base: Night Of Navy – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2′, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Whisper White – 5 3/8 ” x 4 1/8″, cut two

Embossed Banner: Whisper White – 2 1/4″ x 3 3/8″
Pine Branches: Gold Foil Paper – 4 1/2″ x 3″

Assembly:

Adhere one 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Whisper White cardstock to the card base. Layer the DSP onto the card front with Seal.

Use Versamark to stamp the image, larger star and greeting onto the 2 1/4″ x 3 3/8″ piece of Whisper White cardstock see photo for placement. Sprinkle with Gold Emboss powder and set with heat tool. Use your paper snips to flag the bottom end of the banner, then use Multipurpose Glue to adhere to the 2 1/2″ x 3 5/8″ piece of Gold Foil paper. Trim the bottom edge to match the flagged edge of the stamped piece. Attach to the card front with Dimensionals.

Crop the single and triple pine branch from the Beautiful Boughs dies set out of Gold Foil paper. Adhere to the card front with glue, tucking the ends under the stamped banner. Place a small Gilded Gem at the bottom of the stamped banner.

For the inside, use Versamark to stamp the sentiment to the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock. Stamp a star on the upper left corner of this piece. Sprinkle with Gold Emboss powder and set with heat tool. Adhere the completed piece to the inside of the card.

FB Live Recap: Chocolate Santa Chimney & Santa Card

I don’t know about you, but ever since I can remember, chocolate Santas have always been a Christmas treat in our family. Not only would we get them in our Christmas stockings, but at celebrations with the whole family there would always be a chocolate Santa at everyone’s place setting. In remembering that tradition, I thought why not make a little “chimney” for the Chocolate Santas this year? In my Facebook Live videos this week, I did just that! I also made a cute Santa card with the Don’t Stop Believing stamp set.

Feels Like Frost Christmas Cards

Do you sometimes struggle with coming up with ideas for making cards? I think everyone has days or weeks when we are on a roll and design ideas just keep coming. Other times, we sit and stare at our supplies and draw a blank. I sure can relate to that!

The Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper is a stack of beautiful winter nature designs. The other side of the paper has silver foil and white designs which are very elegant. It was new in the catalog last year, but it’s so popular that Stampin’Up! carried it over to the current Holiday catalog. If you haven’t seen it, I would urge you to take a look at it. If you bought it last year and it’s being neglected, then I would suggest you revisit it!

Whether you want to make just one, a few, or a bunch of Christmas cards, the Feels Like Frost DSP will help you easily create gorgeous cards.

There are so many pretty designs to choose from, and I wanted to show you just how quick and easy it is to use this paper in your designs.

For these cards, I used the basic colors of Whisper White and Night Of Navy along with the Feels Like Frost DSP. You can make them as elaborate or simple as you want. For instance, for the Poinsettia card, I chose the paper that has the evergreens and snow, and I used a 2″ strip of the silver and white design on the reverse side of the paper under the poinsettia. The DSP is layered onto Whisper White cardstock then onto a Night Of Navy card base. I made the poinsettia from Whisper White cardstock using the Poinsettia dies and added a silver foil pine branch that was cropped using the Beautiful Boughs dies. The greeting is from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and was stamped with Night of Navy ink.

This pretty deer card uses two different Feels Like Frost Designer Papers layered onto a piece of Night of Navy then onto the Whisper White card base. I covered the seam with a length of Seaside Spray Metallic ribbon. The deer from the Nature’s Beauty stamp set was stamped with Memento ink and cropped with a Stitched Rectangle die. I also added a pine branch out of Silver Foil behind the deer and a blue gem as an accent.

I stamped the cute gnome from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set with Memento ink directly onto the pine branch/snow Designer Paper and colored him with Stampin’ Blends markers. For a little extra interest, I stamped the portion of the gnome with the ornament, colored the ornament and fussy cut it out. I used a dimensional to attach it right on top of the ornament stamped on the DSP. I layered the stamped DSP onto a piece of Night Of Navy cardstock and then onto a Whisper White card base. I stamped the greeting with Memento ink onto a strip of Whisper White cardstock, then flagged the ends and attached it to the card front with dimensionals. I also scattered a few of the Adhesive Backed Snowflake Embellishments on the card front.

Here’s another card where I stamped the greeting directly onto the Designer Paper using Night Of Navy ink. The greeting is from the Merry Moose stamp set. I punched the moose out of Night Of Navy cardstock and just glued it to the card front. The DSP is layered onto a piece of Night Of Navy cardstock, then adhered to the Whisper White cards base. This is definitely one card that you can make in just a couple minutes!

Another very quick to make card – adhere your favorite DSP to a Night Of Navy card base. Use Night Of Navy ink to stamp one of your favorite greetings onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Crop with the Stitched Shapes circle die and layer it onto a piece of Night Of Navy cardstock that has been cropped with a coordinating scalloped circle die. For my card, I used the Layering Circles dies and the sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set. Add a couple of Rhinestones for a little sparkle.

I hope this has inspired you to create these and other cards quickly by using the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper as one of the main ingredients in your designs! The paper is gorgeous and it requires little effort to make beautiful cards that your friends and family will treasure.

On this week’s Facebook Live video, I made an adorable Hershey Kiss holder that can also hold a gift card, plus a cute coordinating Gnome Christmas Card.

Tutorial: Santa with Snowflakes Card

While I’m usually a fan of Santa in the traditional red suit, for this card I chose shades of blue to match the snowflake paper. Without having to stop and color the Santa, this card makes up pretty quickly!

Cut Cardstock:

Card Base: Misty Moonlight – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/2″
First Layer: Whisper White – 5 1/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer: Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Third Layer: Whisper White – 3 1/2″ x 3″
Fourth Layer: Misty Moonlight – 3 3/8″ x 2 7/8″
Santa Layer: Whisper White – 3 1/4″ x 2 3/4″
Greeting: Scrap of Whisper White

Assembly:

(Note: All stamped images are from the ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ stamp set.)

Layer a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Whisper White cardstock onto the card base. Adhere the Snowflake Splendor DSP to this layer.

Using a Water Painter brush, lightly moisten the 3 1/4″ x 2 3/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock (it should not be dripping). Use Misty Moonlight ink to make a light blue wash on this piece. Let it dry naturally, or hasten the process by using the heat tool to dry it.

When completely dry, use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the Santa image onto the piece. Crop the corners with the corner rounder punch. Adhere to the 3 3/8″ x 2 7/8″ piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock which has the corners cropped with the corner rounder punch.

Layer this onto the 3 1/2″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock which has the corners cropped with the corner rounder punch. Attach the completed piece onto the card front with Dimensionals. Refer to photo for placement.

Use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the greeting onto scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Crop with the second largest oval from the Stitched Shaped Dies, then attach to the card front with Dimensionals, slightly overlapping the Santa piece. Refer to photo for placement.

Attach several of the Adhesive-backed Snowflake Embellishments to the greeting and the Santa piece.

Inside:

Use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the sentiment to the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock. Using the snowflake image, stamp several snowflakes across the top of this piece with Misty Moonlight ink, stamping off first onto a scrap piece of paper so that the snowflakes image is much lighter than full strength ink.

Envelope:

Stamp the snowflake image to the lower left corner of the envelope with Misty Moonlight ink, stamping off first on a piece of scrap paper so the ink is a lighter shade of blue.

Tutorial: Curvy Christmas with Poinsettias

The tiny poinsettias made from Red Foil are a pretty addition to this card card made with the Curvy Christmas bundle. The traditional red and green Christmas colors really pop out on this card!

Tutorial: Gold Poinsettia Card

I love the traditional red and green colors of Christmas, but I must say that using gold foil to make the poinsettia on this card really added a big wow factor. And placing the tiny red foil petals on top of the gold really sets off the colors!

Cut Cardstock:

Card Base: Whisper White – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer (front) : Gold Foil – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
First Layer (inside): Garden Green: 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
Second Layer (front): Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper (green with small pine branches) – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Second Layer (inside): Whisper White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
Poinsettia: Gold Foil – 8″ x 3 1/4″; Red Foil – 2 1/2″ x 1 1/4″
Pine Branches: Scraps of Soft Seafoam
Greeting Bases: Gold Foil – 4 1/2″ x 1 3/8″; 3 1/4″ x 1 3/8″; 3 1/8″ x 7/8″
Poinsettia Place DSP (green with small pinecones) – 3 3/4″ x 1 1/4″; 3 1/8″ x 1 1/4″
Greeting: Whisper White – 3″ x 3/4″

Assembly:

Layer the large piece of Gold Foil onto the cards base. (NOTE: If you want to conserve the gold foil, use a rectangular die to cut out the center of this piece and use it for one of the flowers you will be cutting out).

Layer the 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Designer Series Paper onto the Gold Foil.

Use Garden Green ink to stamp three small pine brach images onto the scrap of Soft Seafoam cardstock. Crop with the corresponding die. Color the tiny pinecones with the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Marker.

Crop the three larger Poinsettia flower petals from Gold Foil, making sure to use the embossing die on the petals to emboss the veins onto the petals. Assemble the Gold Foil petals together with Dimensionals.

Crop two of the tiny poinsettias from Red Foil. Adhere these together with a glue dot, then adhere to the gold foil poinsettia with a glue dot.

Adhere the completed flower to the card front with Dimensionals – refer to photo for placement. Add a large Gilded Gem to the center of the flower.

Adhere the three pine branched to the card front, tucking the ends under the flower using Seal of Glue for two of the branches and Dimensionals for the other one.

Use Real Red ink to stamp the greeting onto the 3″ x 3/4″ strip of Whisper White cardstock. Layer this onto the 3 1/8″ x 7/8″ strip of Gold Foil.

Layer the other two pieces of Designer Paper onto the corresponding Gold Foil pieces. Use Dimensionals to attach them to the card front, the smaller one onto the center of the larger strip – refer to photo for placement.

Use Dimensionals to attach the greeting to the DSP strip.

Add a few Red Rhinestones to the background Designer Paper to add a touch of color to the green background.

Inside:

Stamp the sentiment onto the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock using Real Red ink.

Use Garden Green ink to stamp two pine branches to the upper right corner of this piece. Color the tiny pinecones with the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Marker.

Adhere this piece to the remaining piece of Garden Green cardstock, then adhere it to the inside of the card.

Envelope:

For the envelope, stamp two pine branches onto the lower left corner of the envelope using Garden Green ink. Color the pinecones with Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Marker.

FB Live Recap: Winter Woods Cards

For my Facebook Live this week, I was inspired by the change of seasons here in Michigan. The leaves have been changing colors for the past several weeks and have been dropping from the trees as well rather quickly. I love the season changes here, even the beauty of bare trees! I used the Winter Woods stamp set to create these cards, showing one card with Autumn colors as a Thanksgiving card, and the other as a beautiful gold and white Christmas card.

In case you weren’t able to view the video live, you can watch the replay here. Every Tuesday at 2 p.m. EST I am on my Facebook group page creating a project or two. Follow me on my Pinterest page as well for more ideas!
