Using the Home Together dies and my Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut the snow bank and tree line from the 2 panels of Whisper White card.

I adhered the piece of dsp to the Thick Whisper White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The tree line was added using the same glue.

Using the same dies I cut out the house and a tree from the sheet of dsp – I love that the dies allow us do this. The house and tree were added to the card front.

The snow bank layer was added on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was trimmed out from one of the other sheets of dp and glued to the card front. A single star from the All the Trimmings Embellishment pack to complete the card.

To recreate the single house card you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Trimming the Town dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Old Olive – 4” b 3”
Whisper White – 4” by 3”

I adhered the strip of dsp to the Pool Party card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Layering Oval dies I cut an oval from the small piece of Whisper White and a scalloped oval from the Old Olive card.

I used the snowflake stamp to randomly stamp all over the White oval in Pool Party ink. The oval was glued to the scalloped oval using the liquid glue.

I die cut a house and a tree from one of the sheets of dsp using the Home Together dies. These were glued to the oval piece. The oval was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was cut from one of the dsp sheets and added to the card front.

I added a star to the top of the pretty little tree to complete the card.

To recreate the embossed snowflakes card you will need:

Misty Moonlight card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”

I stamped the sentiment from the A Merry Hello stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the bottom of the Whisper White panel. Stamping the sentiment first helps with placement when stamping the sweet little stockings.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A sweet Christmas card made using the A Merry Hello stamp set and the Trimming the Town dsp

Using the same black ink I stamped the trio of stockings twice across the panel. I found them really easy to line up.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A sweet Christmas card made using the A Merry Hello stamp set and the Trimming the Town dsp

I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the stockings – Poppy Parade, Old Olive and Misty Moonlight. Love these colours together, don’t you?

Joyful Holly

Posted on October 7, 2020October 1, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Here is a really sweet Christmas card using the Joyful Holly stamp set and some gorgeous gold edged Poppy Parade ribbon.

To recreate the Joyful Holly card you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – Rounded upper left corner
Poppy Parade – 5⅞” by 2⅜” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 1⅞” by 1⅞” – Rounded upper left corner on 2 of the panels
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Scrap Whisper White

I began by randomly stamping one of the outline holly images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink all over the 3 Whisper White squares. It doesn’t matter which of the 2 images you use, you can use both if you want to.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty Christmas card made using the Joyful Holly stamp set

Using Old Olive ink and the corresponding inner image I added colour to all the holly leaves. I used Poppy Parade ink to stamp the berries and coloured in the background using Balmy Blue Blends Markers.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty Christmas card made using the Joyful Holly stamp set

The stamped panels were glued to the Poppy Parade panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped some of the gold edged Poppy Parade ribbon from the All the Trimmings ribbon duo pack around the panel and used Sellotape to secure it on the back. Tis ribbon is stunning, it is so sparkly and super easy to tie.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty Christmas card made using the Joyful Holly stamp set

I stamped the in-fill image of the holly leaves down the centre of the Balmy Blue card base, just to give a little peek of colour. I added the decorated panel to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty Christmas card made using the Joyful Holly stamp set

The sentiment from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto scrap White card, trimmed it out with scissors and tucked it under the raised panel and secured it with the liquid glue.
