I’ve got another lovely Christmas card to show you today. This Christmas card features the Season Like Christmas stamp set and some gold accents including the gold patterned sheet from the Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper pack.

 

How To Make This Hand Stamped Christmas Card:

This card starts with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock.

On a piece of regular Whisper White the tree is stamped in Wild Wasabi ink and Tranquil Tide ink. The tree trunk is stamped with Soft Suede ink and the ground layer was stamped with Smokey Slate ink.

This stamped layer was cut and layered with a piece of Tranquil Tide cardstock matted under it.

A piece of the gold Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper was added to the cardbase, with the stamped layer on top.

The greeting from the Season Like Christmas stamp set was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White with Tranquil Tide ink and then punched out with the Duet Banner Punch. The ends were trimmed off with some Paper Snips to allow the gold layer to show. The Gold Foil sheet was also punched with the Duet Banner Punch and both pieces adhered together with SNAIL Adhesive and added to the card front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the final touch, the Gold Foil Sheet was die cut using the snowflake die from the Trim Your Stocking Thinlits and adhered to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot. A Clear Faceted Gem was then added to the center for a little added bling!

Today’s card is a fun Christmas card to make, because you get to play with some Embossing Paste! 🙂 We are making some snow on the stamped Christmas tree from the Season Like Christmas stamp set from the Stampin’ Up 2017 Holiday Catalogue.

How To Make This Christmas Card:

Score and fold the Thick Whisper White cardstock, the card front through the Big Shot in the Oh My Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

On a piece of Whisper White, stamp the tree images in layers using Pear Pizzazz for the first tree layer, Old Olive for the shadow layer and Soft Suede ink for the trunk.

Die cut the stamped layer using the Layering Ovals Framelits. Die cut the next size oval for the Fresh Fig layer.
Lay a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive to the card front where you want the ribbon (see photo). Remove the backing and lay a small piece Old Olive Mini Chevron Ribbon vertically over top of the horizontal strip of adhesive- this will be the piece you will tie. Add another strip of Old Olive Mini Chevron Ribbon to the cardfront pressing down and trimming off any excess on the ends, then tie the first piece around the adhered piece.

Adhere both oval layers together and adhere to the cardfront with SNAIL Adhesive.

Stamp the greeting on Whisper White with Fresh Fig ink and die cut using the small Stitched Shape Framelits oval and adhere to the cardfront using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Take the small palette knife and add some Embossing Paste to the stamped tree to look like snow- over the branches and some on the ‘ground’- heat with the Heat Tool to dry. It’s okay if it puffs up a bit!
Die cut a small star from Crushed Curry cardstock using the row of stars die from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits and add to the tree top with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
