Jolly Friends Christmas Card, Stampin Up

Jolly Friends Christmas Card

Posted on October 19, 2016October 17, 2016 by Josee

Hello! 

I've got a cute and simple card to show you today. This christmas card uses the Jolly Friends stamp set for the Santa hats and of course the coordinating Jolly Hat Builder punch for perfect santa hat cut outs.

Jolly Friends Christmas Card, Stampin Up

How To Make It: 

This card starts with a card base of Real Red cardstock. Then a layer of Crumb Cake cardstock was added on top. 

On Whisper White cardstock, stamp the different hats from the Jolly Friends stamp set with Real Red ink and punch them out with the Jolly Hat Builder punch. 

Then, punch out the hat trim and pom pom using the Jolly Hat Builder Punch and Whisper White cardstock.  Assemble the hats using Mini Glue Dots and then add them to the cardfront using Stampin' Dimensionals. 

Add Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the hat trim and pom pom and then add Dazzling Diamonds Stampin Glitter. Allow this to dry.

The sentiment was then stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink using the words 'Merry Christmas' from the Snow Place stamp set.

Merriest Wishes, Stampin Up Canada, Christmas card

Merriest Wishes Christmas Card

Posted on October 18, 2016October 17, 2016 by Josee

Good Morning! 

I just love the non-traditional colours of this card! The Sweet Sugarplum and Pear Pizzazz are a fun combination for this card that features the Merriest Wishes stamp set and Merry Tags Framelits Dies along with the Letters For You stamp set. 

What other non-traditional colors do you use for Christmas cards?

Merriest Wishes, Stampin Up Canada, Christmas card

How To Make It: 

Score and fold the Sweet Sugarplum cardbase and set aside

On the Whisper White layer stamp the ‘dots’ from the Merriest Wishes stamp set with Pear Pizzazz ink at the top

Then stamp the sentiment from the same stamp set in Basic Black on the bottom

Die cut the Pear Pizzazz cardstock with the Merry Tags Framelits Dies– this will be your letter ‘O’- use the diecut to space out the letters for the next step

Use Sweet Sugarplum ink to stamp the letters ‘J’ and ‘Y’ from the Letters for You stamp set spacing them around the diecut

Tie a piece of Metallic Gold Thread to the top of the ornament die cut and then carefully slide the Bow Paper Clip Embellishment on to the top of the diecut. Add some SNAIL Adhesive to the back of the ornament and add to the card front

Take the remainder of the Gold Metallic Thread and bring it to the back of the Whisper White layer- add SNAIL Adhesive to the back of the layer ensuring there is some in place to hold the thread too; Add this piece to the cardbase

Tie a piece of Sweet Sugarplum Glitter ribbon to the Gold Metallic Thread and use a Glue Dot to hold it in place.

Christmas Pines Christmas Card

Posted on October 12, 2016October 11, 2016 by Josee

Hello! 

Just a reminder, if you are in the Ottawa area looking for a card class or just a night out :), there is still time to RSVP for this Friday's Christmas Card Class!

I think you are going to love the simplicity of today's card 🙂 If you are looking for a Christmas card that doesn't use a lot of cardmaking supplies, this card is a great option! All you need for this is the Christmas Pines stamp set, the Pine Bough Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Metallic Thread Combo– all from the 2016 Holiday catalogue!

christmas-pines

You could even simplify this card further by skipping the embossing and stamping the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler or Real Red ink. 

How To Make It: 

This card starts with a base of Shimmer White Cardstock 5.5" x 8.5", scored at 4 1/4”. 

Run the card front only through the Big Shot using the Pine Bough Embossing Folder, as shown.

Stamp the filigree frame image from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Emerald Envy ink on a small piece of Shimmer White Cardstock. Allow it to dry completely.

Stamp the greeting from Christmas Pines on top of the stamped frame image in Versamark ink. Cover with Real Red Glitter Embossing Powder and tap off the excess. Heat emboss with the Heat Tool.

Using Paper Snips, hand cut the greeting and frame as shown.

Add Fast Fuse to the back of the cut greeting. Loop both colors of Metallic Thread around three fingers about five times. Add this loop of metallic thread to the Fast Fuse on the back of the greeting cut out.

Adhere the greeting and metallic thread to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish off the card, add a large Pearl Basic Jewel to both sides of the greeting.

Stamps: 

Christmas Pines (142049)

Paper: 

Shimmer White (101910)

Ink:

Emerald Envy (141396); Versamark (102283)
