This sample uses Shaded Spruce and Real Red with Basic Grey for the sentiment, all mounted on a Smoky Slate card base.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

More Christmas Cards with the Cottage Wreaths Bundle

Hello Everyone,

I thought I’d bring you another Christmas card idea with this lovely Cottage Wreaths stamp set and dies.

I chose Soft Succulent and Polished Pink for my colour combinations on this one.

Additional die cuts were added to the wreath image to give it more full look.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

The ribbon and embellishments were coloured with a Stampin’ Blend marker to coordinate them with the project.

The original more traditional version is shown here and use Shaded Spruce and Sweet Sorbet.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Christmas Wreath Card using the Sparkle of the Season

Hello Everyone,

I’ve had this card idea in my head for a while and I’ve finally managed to make it!

For this layout I used eight die cuts which I then used to create four pieces that I could arrange to form the wreath design.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…..

The Cherry Cobbler & Gold Metallic Ribbon is absolutely gorgeous in real life. It finishes off the card brilliantly.

This sample uses more die cut, 12 in total, and uses a mixture of leaves in Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green. The sentiment is stamped with Poppy Parade.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

I picked Have a Hoot and the coordinating Peek a Hoot dies to work with.

I used the tags die in the set to create these apertures in Crumb Cake cardstock and stamped this with Crumb Cake ink.

This was used to mark a piece of Whisper White, identifying where the owls would be stamped. I used the Stamparatus to position the stamps.

The images were stamped again on a separate sheet for colouring and die cutting.

Pool Party ink was applied to the white cardstock before colouring the tree branches. (No need to colour the owls at this point).

This was adhered behind the Crumb Cake apertures, then onto a piece of Real Red cardstock before adding to a Crumb Cake card base.

The owls were coloured with Stampin’ Blends markers before die cutting. They were adhered to the card with dimensionals.

Finally, Real Red ink was used to stamp a sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

The video tutorial for this project will be available tomorrow, do stop by again then!

More Yuletide Cheer

Hello Everyone,

This card was made completely spontaneously using supplies I had with me whilst crafting with my team.

I wouldn’t normally use so many stamp sets on one project but look how lovely it is!

The card design is reasonably self explanatory, building the background with the images as shown in the photo. The gold snowflakes were a late addition but really help tie the layout together.

A Stitched circle die was used the cut the sentiment which adhered with dimensionals.

Family, Friends & Happiness

Hello Everyone,

I haven’t used this image from the Frosted Foliage stamp set, so I created this simple card.

The outline image was stamped on to a card layer with Gray Granite ink and coloured with a Cherry Cobbler watercolour pencil.

Some little dots from the Beauty and Joy set we’re added to fill in the background.

Cherry Cobbler Ink was added to the edge of the card stock before adhering to the card base.

The sentiment was added at the bottom with dimensionals.

Seasons Greetings

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would share this non traditional Christmas card design with you today.

The colour combination I used is Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Night of Navy and Rich Razzleberry.

Whisper White card stock was coloured through a decorative mask using Stampin’ Sponges.

Before removing the mask, versamark ink was pressed over the panel. (The ink pad will get stained, so using an older pad might be a good idea).

I applied some clear embossing powder and heat set this to give a shiny design. This was adhered to a white card base.

A sentiment was added using Rich Razzleberry ink.

The stars were heat embossed with silver powder and die cut with the coordinating dies.

Hello Everyone,

This card really shows how beautifully Stampin’ Up! colours match across the product range… Ink, paper and card stock!

A Garden Green card base was layered with a strip of Very Vanilla, Garden Green card stock and a scrap of Toile Tidings DSP.

I didn’t measure these, I just used off cuts and trimmed to the correct width.

Garden Green ink was used to stamp the sentiment and trees on to Very Vanilla card stock. These were adhered with dimensionals.

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would revisit the festive stamp sets in the Annual catalogue for today’s project.

The trees were stamped with Early Espresso Ink onto a Very Vanilla card layer.

Christmas Time

Hello Everyone,

This stamp set is one of my favourites in the Autumn Winter catalogue – especially these snowflakes!

I chose a slightly different colour palette and like the end result.

I started with the largest snowflake and Highland Heather ink. Next I added Balmy Blue and then Silvery Shimmer inks.

The panel was adhered to some Gorgeous Grape card stock and then to a pre-prepared card base with dimensionals.

Loops of silver thread were secured to the card. The sentiment was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and cut with the Timeless Label punch. This was added with dimensional adhesive to complete the card.
