Christmas Snow Globe Card

Today's card was created for...

Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Challenge #659.


 

For my "Christmas" card I used Stampin' Up! Snowy Wonder Bundle, Reindeer Fun & Sweetest Star Stamp Sets, Stylish Shapes Dies, Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder, Snowy Scenes DSP & Gold Foil Sheets.

Garden Green was used as my card base with a layer of Pool Party and Snowy Scenes DSP.  These layers were adhered on the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Two of the Pool Party strips were embossed using Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder.  The center strip is Gold Foil Sheets.

The squares were die cut from Pool Party & Basic White using Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered on the card with Stampin' Dimensionals between each layer.  This card has lots of dimension!

The Basic White square has color lightly added with a Blending Brush and Pool party ink.

The snow globe image was fussy cut from DSP.  Such a cute image, I couldn't resist!  This was adhered with, you guessed it, Stampin' Dimensionals.

Various snowflakes were stamped with Pool Party & Garden Green inks and die cut from Snowy Wonder Dies.  They were adhered with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.  Wink of Stella was brushed on all the snowflakes.  The two white snowflakes were tucked behind the square layers.

Rhinestone Basic Jewels were adhered in the center of the largest snowflakes and around the snow globe.

The sentiment is from Reindeer Fun Stamp Set, stamped with Garden Green ink, trimmed and flagged on each end and adhered on the snow globe with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Inside my card are more strips of Pool Party (embossed) & Gold Foil Sheets to bring the same design on the front to the inside as well.

The sentiment is from Sweetest Star Stamp Set, stamped with Garden Green ink.

Additional snowflakes were stamped with Pool Party & Garden Green inks, die cut and arranged on the strips and beside the sentiment.

DSP was also adhered on the envelope flap and trimmed.

Christmas Card using Acetate Sheets

 Today's card was created for my team card swap (A Stamp Above) for November.  Each month, at our team meetings, a new card swap challenge is posted.  We make the desired number of cards and will receive a variety of cards in return.  It's so exciting to see what designs we're going to receive and with these cards are lots of inspiration for you to create more of your own cards!  

Many times, I will mix and match from a couple different cards because I like the design from one and the die cuts from another... to create my own design.  So many options!

I like trying to come up with a different design or technique each month.  Even though I tell myself to create a more simple design, it rarely works out that way!  Why?  Because I love making cards, so it doesn't matter if I'm making one or 20!  The whole process is just FUN!


The card base is acetate sheets from Stampin' Up! stamp sets.  When you purchase SU stamp sets, the stamps are on acetate sheets.  I always pull the stamps off these sheets and adhere the stamps directly in the stamp case.  
The acetate sheets are placed in a folder and accumulate surprisingly fast! 
While searching around online, I finally found ideas on ways to use these acetate sheets.  I couldn't wait to give it a try!

Once the acetate sheets were cut down to size (4 1/4" x 5 1/2"), they were cleaned with rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth.

You could also use Window Sheets from SU.

Stampin' Up! products used:  Golden Greenery Bundle, Sweetest Star & Reindeer Fun Stamp Sets, Season of Green & Gold Specialty DSP, Graceful Greenery Vellum Specialty DSP, Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder & Gold Foil Sheets.

The two acetate sheets are held together with a piece of DSP which was scored in the middle and adhered with Seal+.  Then you basically decorate your card however you choose.

The Basic White background was embossed using Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, with a strip of DSP along the left and a strip of Gold Foil Sheets to cover the seams.

Lots of die cutting was involved to get the nice spray behind the bells.  The Natural Tones Linen Thread bow was threaded through both bells (which were kept offset together with a Mini Glue Dot) and tied in a bow, leaving the tails longer.

Amazingly, NO Stampin' Dimensionals were used!  But I sure did used LOTS of Mini Glue Dots!

The sentiment was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink, trimmed and cut at an angle on each end.

Inside my card is a gift card holder on the left.

Lots of leaves were stamped in the upper portion of Basic White with a variety of inks to include Mossy Meadow, Granny Apple Green, Garden Green & Old Olive.
The sentiment was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink.

The back of the card is just as pretty, with DSP and a die cut from Vellum Specialty DSP adhered in the upper corner.

Celebrate the Season Christmas Card

The card I'm sharing today was created, as a member of the Design Team, at...

Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Challenge #658.



The Christmas season is upon us once again!  Time to create Christmas cards for family and friends!

For my "Let's Celebrate the Season" card, I used Stampin' Up! Sentimental Wishes Bundle, Winterly Tree Tops Bundle, Stylish Shapes Dies along with Season of Elegance Specialty DSP.

I decided on a Basic White card base with a layer of Mossy Meadow and Season of Elegance Specialty DSP.  The name is perfect for this DSP... elegant!

The Mossy Meadow was adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the DSP adhered on the Mossy Meadow with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The circle was die cut using the 2nd largest of Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Two 1/8" strips of Mossy Meadow were adhered at a diagonal in the upper and lower corners of the DSP.

The sentiment was stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink.

The image was stamped with Memento ink and colored with Cherry Cobbler, Lost Lagoon & Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends Markers.  The image was die cut and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The pine branches were die cut using Mossy Meadow and tucked behind the stamped image with Mini Glue Dots.

The bow was tied with two strands of Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon and two strands of Real Red & White Baker's Twine.  The ends were trimmed.  The bow was adhered with Mini Glue Dots.

Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems add another nice touch of gold on my card.


Inside my card is a 3/4" inch of DSP along the right.  The sentiment was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink.

I couldn't resist adding this beautiful DSP on the envelope flap as well.
