Category: Christmas Card Ideas

Hello! Happy Friday! 

After almost a full week of sneaking Halloween candies and chocolates, today's card reminds me of the baking that's coming next for the Christmas season! My waistline will not be thanking me that's for sure! Good thing I have a backup plan to help me stay on track 🙂 

Today's card features the Yummy Little Christmas stamp set from the Stampin Up 2016 Holiday catalogue.  This stamp set actually coordinates with the 1" and 1 1/2" circle punches, the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies, the Layering Squares Framelits dies and the Cheerful Tags Framelits. I love when a stamp set coordinates with so many dies and punches- that means easy cutting! 

How To Make It: 

Start with a cardbase of Shimmer White cardstock cut to 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” and scored at 4 1/4”.

Run the card front through the Big Shot using the Sparkle Embossing Folder. Fold the cardbase.

Use the Project Life Corner punch to round the right side corners as shown.

Stamp the mixer and whisks images from Yummy Little Christmas in Mint Macaron on a strip of Shimmer White cardstock. Cut out with the Layering Circles Framelits. (Use 1 5/8” plain edge for the mixer, 2 1/4” scallop edge for the whisks)

Stamp the greeting from Yummy Little Christmas on the Shimmer White cardstock strip and cut out with the 1 5/8” plain edge circle from the Layering Circles Framelits.

Cut out a 1 7/8" plain edge circle from the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper.

Layer and adhere the cut circles to each other as shown using Fast Fuse Adhesive. Attach the greeting with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Add Fast Fuse Adhesive to the back of the adhered layered circles and add the ribbon as shown to the back of the layered circles.

Adhere the whole set of layered elements to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Hello! 

Before I show you today's card- in case you missed the announcement- check out what's new and on SALE here! 

Now, today's card is pretty yet fairly simple card using the new Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder as well as the Stitched With Cheer stamp set. The Dynamic nature of the new embossing folder creates a deeper, dimensional impression on your paper. 

How To Make It: 

Place the 5 ¼” x 4” piece of Very Vanilla in the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Lay the folder directly on the platform, place ONE cutting pad on top and send it through the Big Shot – due to it’s thickness this Dynamic folder only needs ONE cutting pad, not two.

Punch out a Designer Label punch from Very Vanilla card stock.

Stamp the Holly Jolly greeting from the Stitched With Cheer stamp set on the Very Vanilla label with Cherry Cobbler ink.

Stamp the small holly leaf stamp on a scrap of Old Olive in Old Olive ink, and then punch it out. Repeat so that you have two holly leaves.

Stamp the berry stamp on a scrap of Cherry Cobbler in Cherry Cobbler ink. Punch it out.

Adhere the Cable Knit embossed piece to the card base.

Loop the Cherry Cobbler twine in a pile on the Cable Knit embossed piece. Secure it with Stampin' Dimensionals and attach the Holly Jolly Label on top of it.

Using Glue Dots, attach the holly leaves and berries to the label.

Happy Happy Friday! 

The card I have to show you today is a super simple, quick and easy Christmas card! All you need for this card is some Real Red and Basic Black cardstock, the Layering Squares Framelits and a sentiment of your choice- for this one I used the Greetings From Santa stamp set as I think it has the perfect sentiment to add to this card. 

How To Make It: 

This card starts with a simple cardbase made of Real Red cardstock. Round the corners of the cardbase using the Project Life Corner punch. 

Cut a strip of Basic Black cardstock to fit across the cardfront and adhere with SNAIL Adhesive to the cardfront. 

Then use the Layering Squares Framelits to cut the 'buckle' from Silver Glimmer paper. Use the larger scalloped square as well as a small plain square to cut out the middle piece. Use the Magnetic Platform to keep the dies in place while you cut them.  Place over the Basic Black cardstock strip to use a guide to stamp the sentiment. 

Stamp the sentiment from the Greetings From Santa stamp set using Versamark ink and then pour White Stampin' Emboss Powder over the ink, shaking off the excess. Use the Heat Tool to melt the embossing powder. 

Finally, adhere the Glimmer Paper 'buckle' to the cardfront using the SNAIL Adhesive.
