Double Decker Christmas Card

Online Stamping Retreat

Another online retreat that I attended, which was held on October 28, 2023.



The OSR consists of Lisa Curcio, Gina Hawley and Kylie & Bruno Bertucci.
What a fun team!!  And fabulous fun folds!!

The challenge by Lisa Curcio was to create a Double Decker Card.

For my "Christmas Card" I used the Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow Stamp Set, Stylish Shapes Dies and Traditions of St. Nick DSP.

For my card base, I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

For the technique used on the front panel, I inked the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder with Cherry Cobbler ink, placed the Basic White cardstock on top, closed the folder and embossed it.
To clean the embossing folder, simply run it under water and wipe clean.

Wink of Stella was "flicked" onto the background as well, for a little extra sparkle.

The Santa was fussy cut from the Traditions of St. Nick DSP and adhered with dimensionals.

I used the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins (gold) for the finishing touches on my card.

The sentiment was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and die cut with Stylish Shapes Dies.

Gold Satin Edged Ribbon was looped and adhered behind the sentiment and adhered with dimensionals.

DSP was also added on the envelope flap.

The inside panel has the sentiment which was stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink as well.  I fussy cut two of the trees from the DSP and adhered on the left of the sentiment.




Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.

Christmas Gingerbread Wobble Card

Maker's Mojo Creative Escape 
This fun retreat was held October 20 & 20, 2023.  It's a perfect way to get inspiration and see everyone's awesome projects.

If you have never registered for the Maker's Mojo Retreats, you're missing out!  They are so full of fun and watching live videos on how they create each project is amazing!

The Maker's Mojo Team consists of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Melissa Kerman, Audra Monk, Wendy Lee, Jo Blackman, Anne Marie Hile.


Presentation #8 by Audra Monk - Black Marker Magic

For my "Warm Wishes" card, I used the Stampin' Up! Sending Cheer, Horse & Sleigh and Beary Cute Stamp Sets, Sending Cheer Dies & Joy of Christmas DSP.

For my card base, I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock followed by Joy of Christmas DSP.

The gingerbread images are from the Sending Cheer Stamp Set, stamped using Pecan Pie ink and die cut using Sending Cheer Dies. 

The little hearts were stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink, the holly leaves stamped with Shaded Spruce ink, the holly berries with Cherry Cobbler ink and the gingerbread faces with Memento ink.  All images were die cut.

For the background, a strip of DSP was added across the upper portion of the card with White Iridescent Ribbon going across the center of the DSP strip.

For the focal image, shading was added on the Basic White cardstock with a Blending Brush and Old Olive ink.  Using a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker, I drew loopy lines around the edges.

The gingerbread on the right was adhered with adhesive and the one on the left with a Wobble!!
This is the cutest little Wobble Gingerbread!!

The holly leaves & berries were adhered on each side of the sentiment.

The sentiment is from the Beary Cute Stamp Set, stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink.

For the bow below the sentiment, it's hard to see, but I cut a piece of the White Iridescent Ribbon in half and pulled off some of the fibers, tied them in a bow and adhered with a Mini Glue Dot.


DSP was also added on the envelope flap.

Inside my card is DSP layered with Basic White cardstock.  The sentiment is from the Horse & Sleigh Stamp Set, stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink and the gingerbread using Pecan Pie ink with his face stamped using Memento ink.

I decided to add a little more black marker lines inside my card by drawing lines around the edge of the Basic White cardstock.
