Holly Jolly Greetings

Back to a Christmas card to share with you today!  This one uses some designer series paper scraps kind of randomly thrown onto a piece of card stock that was stamped with some Gold Metallic ink.

My snowflake is also gold metallic and I added a retired button with some baker's twine in the middle of it.  The words were stamped with Basic Black ink and cut out by hand before I popped them up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Supplies:

Holly Jolly Greetings

Metallic Gold, Basic Black ink

Emerald Envy, Mint Macaron, Whisper White card stock

designer button

baker's twine

Warmth and Cheer dsp

Noel

 

This card came about because I happen to have the wooden "noel" sitting on my scrap room table and thought I should use it someplace!  I added some snowflakes from the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set...

 

and then some Watercolor Wonder washi tape, linen thread and Corrugated paper before adding the "noel".

Wishing you Peace

For this card, I chose to focus on the designer series paper from the Season of Cheer pack and worked the rest of the card around that.  The little snowflakes are stamped with Crumb Cake ink and I used Night of Navy for the sentiments. 

 



 

The layer that the sentiments are stamped on is cut using the Big Shot and the Tags and Labels framelits.

Wooden Trees

 

I was playing around with some wooden trees this past week decorating them with paint, stamps, paper, ribbon, embellishments, etc.  They are all a little different and decorated on both sides.  

 

I put them together in sets of threes for my craft show on Thursday and this one was the most popular, but they went over well. 

 

I used mod podge to adhere the designer and specialty papers to the wood and then added the embellishments with several different adhesives.

 

The ones that were stamped have Metallic ink, craft ink, Memento ink and regular ink on them, and they all seemed to work well.

 

The fine tip glue pen worked great for the little embellishments that didn't have adhesive on them already.

 

This is the back side of the set of trees above...

 

and a few different ones...

 

If I made these again, I might not paint them all, especially if I am stamping colors on them because the red ink doesn't really stand out too much on the flowers.

 

The lace trim around the outside of some of the trees was attached with small nails...

 

And a few more samples...

November Stamp Club Projects

 

This month I went with a fall themed layout and Christmas themed cards and tags.  The layout uses the Into the Woods designer series paper and I also used some images from the For All Things stamp set.  

 

For the cards, we used the Reason for the Season and Warm Wishes stamp sets. 

The Sleigh Ride edgelits seemed to pair well with the Home for Christmas designer series paper so we added the images from Warm Wishes to that card.

 

And we once again used the Home for Christmas designer series paper for the second card...

 

The tags used several punches - ornate tag topper, scalloped tag topper, 1 3/4" circle, 2" circle, decorative label and tree...and we used the A Little Something and Holly Jolly Greetings stamp sets to complete them.

 

 

Remember, if these projects look like fun you are welcome to join our group any time!  If you are not local, one of the Virtual Clubs might work for you as well.

 

 

 



Peace on Earth

 

I just love the Hearth and Home thinlits paired with the Happy Scenes stamp set.  There are just so many possibilities!  For this card, I used a glassine sheet as a "window" and embossed it with the Softly Falling folder before I placed it behind the window frame thinlit.  Then I stamped the image of the evergreen trees on some Whisper White card stock and placed that behind the window. 

 

 

I chose the Holly Jolly Greetings set to add some snowflakes to the background and for the "on earth"...

 

"Peace" comes from another thinlit set called Christmas greetings and I used the fine tip glue pen to attach it to the card base. 

 

Finally I added some basic rhinestones and some Winter Wonderland Embellishments to finish it off.

 

Supplies:

Holly Jolly Greetings, Happy Scenes

Crumb Cake , Island Indigo ink

Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Soft Suede, Island Indigo card stock
