Christmas Bauble cards made for the Christmas Stampathon using the Sparkling Snowflakes and Snowy Wonder stamp sets from Stampin' Up!

Christmas Bauble card – Christmas Stampathon

Today I am sharing the cards designed for the August Christmas Stampathon. Each month we are given a theme and asked to produce 4 or 5 identical cards to add to our stash in preparation for Christmas. This month’s theme is the letter B. I have decided the B is for bauble and have used the Sparkling Snowflakes and Snowy Wonder stamp sets to make my cards.

Colours used in these cards are:

 

 

To recreate the Christmas bauble cards, you will need:

Card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – I used 2 Highland Heather and 2 Pretty Peacock
Card layers – 4⅜” by 2⅞” – I used 2 Highland Heather and 2 Pretty Peacock
Basic White card – 4¼” by 2¾” – x 4
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” x 4 – for the inside
Pretty Peacock card – 1⅞” by ⅜” x 4
Scrap Basic White and Silver Foil

 

I used the medium snowflake from the Sparkling Snowflake stamp set, I stamped in the Upper left and lower right corners of the 4 card basis in the co-ordinating colour.

From scrap Silver Foil I die cut the snowman’s hat 4 times, these were then adhered to the top of each stamped circle turning them into baubles. I shaped the baubles using a Bone Folder to give a little dimension.

Pieces of silver twine from my stash were added to the back of the bauble with a Dimensional and a further couple of Dimensionals added down the centre. The bauble was then added to the panel. The other end of the twine was taped to the back of the embossed panel and the whole piece was glued to the card fronts.

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme is ‘small gifts and/or Tags.

All presents have to be small, sturdy, unbreakable which narrows down the choice, they will all be packed into a box, delivered to British Antarctic Survey by mid August for transporation to the Antarctic base by ship.
