A colourful starry Christmas card made using the So Many Stars stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Starry Christmas

Today’s card uses the fabulous So Many Stars stamp set and the Merry Christmas dies to make a gorgeous starry Christmas card.

To recreate the Starry Christmas card you will need:

Blueberry Bushel card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Real Red – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner x 2
Scrap Real Red and Blueberry Bushel

I began by stamping the largest star from the So many Stars stamp set onto one of the Whisper White panels using Blueberry Bushel ink. The medium sized satr was stamped using the Golden Glitz Delicata ink.

I only wanted a couple of the small stars so I cut the strip of stars apart………I know……brave or what….. I stamped the pair of stars in Shaded Spruce ink. I filled in with the tiniest star in Real Red ink.

I die cut the word ‘Christmas’ 3 times from scrap Real Red cardstock and adhered them one on top of the otherto give a bit of dimension. I coated the die cut stack with Shimmering Crystal Effects and set it to one side to dry, it was then added to the stamped panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I rubbed the Embossing Buddy over a scrap of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and stamped the word ‘Merry’ from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set in Versamark ink. I covered it with Gold Embossing Powder, heat set it with a Heat Tool and cut the word Merry out. This was added above the die cut word on Dimensionals.

A gorgeous double Z fold Christmas card featuring Playful Penguins by Stampin' Up!

Hopping Around the World

Welcome to the first ever ‘Hopping Around the World’ Blog Hop where our theme is Christmas cards………..so exciting…….I love Christmas!!! If you have hopped over from Jennifer Downey or started with me – WELCOME and enjoy the hop.

For the hop I am sharing a card made for a lovely friend to give to her son and his family at Christmas. I chose to make it using the Playful Penguins stamp set……after all who doesn’t love a penguin.

To recreate the Hopping Around the World Playful Penguin double Z fold card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base 11” by 5½” – scored at 2¾” and 5½”
Let It Snow designer series paper (dsp) – one piece at 5¼” by 5¼” and two pieces at 5¼” by 2½”

Seaside Spray 9¼” by 4¼” – scored at 2¾” and 5½” – all upper corners rounded
Blueberry Bushel – one piece at 4” by 3½” and two at 4” by 2½” – all upper corners rounded
Whisper White – one piece at 3⅞” by 3⅜” and two at 3⅞” by 2⅜” – all upper corners rounded
Scrap Whisper White cardstock

I folded and burnished the score lines of the Thick Whisper White cards base and glued the panels of Let It Snow dsp to it before setting it to one side. I folded and burnished the scorelines of the Seaside Spray piece and added the Blueberry Bushel panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped one of the cute penguins on the larger Whisper White panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Using the Seaside Spray ink pad and a sponge I added colour to the panel around the penguin and stamped some ‘ground’ in 2nd and 3rd generation Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the tiny stars from the Most Wonderful Time stamps set in the upper right corner of the panel in Blueberry Bushel ink for a little added interest.

I used the Make a Difference stamp set to stamp the ‘Son and family’ – it was the first time I had used this stamp set and I was delighted to find the letters so easy to line up. I punched the sentiment with  1½” Circle Punch and added it to the panel with Dimensionals.

To finish the card off I added a trio of In Color Faceted Dots to the front panel, added some retired Black Rhinestones for the Penguins eyes and covered all three penguins in Clear Wink of Stella. To finish the card I coloured in the beak of all three penguins using the light So Saffron Blends Marker Pen. I still felt something was missing and ended up adding some of the lovely Snowflake Sequins. I made an envelope for the card using retired dsp and my Envelope Punch Board.

Such a pretty card, I do hope you and my lovely friend like it.

Next up is Sandra Herzog and I am looking forward to seeing what she shares with us today.

A very pretty Christmas card made using the Most Wonderful Time product medley by Stampin' Up!

Most Wonderful Time

Today I have been playing with the lovely Most Wonderful Time product medley. This medley includes a stamp set, dies, pack of dsp, gold foil card fronts, tinsel ribbon, gold stars and lots of die cut stickers…………so many lovely things to play with.

To recreate the Most Wonderful Time card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 2″
Shaded Spruce – 4” by 3”
Whisper White – 4” by 3”

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the Buffalo Check image in Blueberry Bushel ink. I find I get a much better image with the large background stamps if I use the Stamparatus as I can re-stamp repeatedly until the image is crisp. The panel was then added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

A stitched oval was die cut from the small Whisper White piece using the  Stitched Shapes dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink onto the die cut oval.  The trees from the Most Wonderful Time stamp set were stamped in 1st and 2nd generation Shaded Spruce ink onto the die cut oval.

I peeled off one of the die cut deer stickers and used the Embossing Buddy to remove the stickiness from the back. I added Dimensionals to the back of the deer and added it to the die cut oval.
