Today I am sharing the 3 projects made by the ladies during the November classes. We used the gorgeous Beautiful Baubles stamp set and coordinating Detailed Bauble dies. This month I thought I would shake things up a bit by starting with the most complicated card and ending up with the most straightforward card instead of the other way round.
Hanging Bauble card
We began by taking the Coastal Cabana card base and laying a panel of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅜” on the front. We then placed the 2nd largest circle die from the Layering Circle Framelits onto the Whisper White panel and ran both layers through the Big Shot together to give us the window. We then ran the die cut Whisper White piece through the Big Shot with the Oh My Stars Embossing folder and set it aside..

Taking a die cut circle of Vellum and Sponge Daubers we sponged the centre with Coastal Cabana ink and added Gorgeous Grape around the edge and set the piece aside to dry. I had previously die cut 2 of the detailed baubles for each lady using the Detailed Bauble dies and Silver Foil Paper. These die cuts were placed face down onto the Silicon Craft, We squeezed a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto the sheet and picked it up with a small wedge of sponge and dabbed it all over both pieces. The coloured Vellum layer was the sandwiched between the 2 sticky layers and pressed together until the glue dried.
We threaded a small piece of ⅛” Whisper White Ribbon through the loop of the bauble and added it to the Coastal Cabana card front with Sellotape allowing the bauble to hang in the ‘window’. The embossed Whisper White layer was then added to the card front with multipurpose liquid adhesive, lining up the die cut window and hiding the ends of the ribbon. We coloured a longer piece of the same ribbon using the dark Highland Heather Blends pen and tied it in a bow before adding it to the top of the bauble with a Mini Glue Dot.
The sentiment from the Star of Light Stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto a scrap of Whisper White. This was then added to a scrap of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and trimmed down. It was added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front and a scattering of Iridescent Sequins were added.
The inside Whisper White panel was added with the same adhesive after we had stamped some random stars in the upper right corner. We stamped the same stars on the front of a Whisper White Envelope.
Embossed Bauble
We began this card by swiping over a panel of Whisper White card stock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅜” using the Embossing Buddy. We then stamped the large bauble in the centre with Versamark ink. The string was added to the top of the bauble using Versark and the panel was then covered with Silver Embossing Powder. We then melted the embossing powder using the Heat Tool. Love this effect.

Taking the following Blends pens we then coloured parts of the bauble – Light & Dark Highland Heather, Light & Dark Bermuda Bay & Light & Dark Pool Party. The upper right hand panel of the layer was rounded using the Detailed Trio Punch. We also rounded the upper right corner of the card front and a Gorgeous Grape layer measuring 5½” by 3¾”. The embossed panel was glued to the Gorgeous Grape layer with Multipurpose liquid Adhesive.
A strip of Coastal Cabana cardstock, 5⅞” by 2” was added to the front of the Thick Whisper White card base and the embossed layer added with Stampin Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink onto a scrap of Whisper White which was cut down and added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The card was finished off with a scattering of Iridescent Sequins.
Row of Baubles
We stamped the tiny snowflakes randomly down the left hand edge of a Bermuda Bay card base using Bermuda Bay ink. The baubles were stamped in Basic Gray onto a panel of Whisper White measuring 4⅛” by 2½” and stamped the little snowflakes along the top of the panel.

Using a selection of Marker pens, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay, Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party, the ladies picked out some areas of the baubles to colour. A thin layer of Silver Foil was added to hide the top of the bauble strings and the panel was added to a layer of Gorgeous Grape cardstock 4⅛” by 2¾” and this was added to the card front on dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped onto the card front with Gorgeous Grape ink and we tucked in strips of Highland Heather, Whisper White and Coastal Cabana cardstock under the raised panel and added the scatter of Iridescent Sequins.
