Stampin with Shirley G

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Merry Moments Stamp Set, along with the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder, includes the dies also.  If this is a set you are thinking of purchasing, go ahead it will be on the Retired List and could be sold out soon, but will return next year but not as a bundle.  So far now it is a great price for the three items.

The Sunday Stamps Challenge is the inspiration for card colors.  My colors are Real Red, Soft Succulent, and Evening Evergreen.

Another challenge I am joining is Addicted Stamps and More — Any Occasion.

Start with  Evening Evergreen card stock base, add a panel of the same embossed using the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder.  Using a sponge, sponge silver ink on the embossed spots.  It highlights the embossing.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic White card stock using the folder.  The picture shows two ways of doing this.  You can emboss a panel of card stock and do no cropping or you can crop using the dies enclosed in the embossing folder.  I did the second one for this card as you will see as we go on.  Two small poinsettias are cropped from Real Red card stock and will be adhered to the corners of the Tidings of Christmas DSP embossed panel.

This is a sample from another card I made,  You can see that card here.  I started by embossing a panel of Basic White card stock using the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder.  The picture shows two ways of doing this.  You can emboss a panel of card stock and do no cropping or you can crop using the dies enclosed in the embossing folder.  I did the second one for this card as you will see as we go on.  I also did a panel in Real Red card stock.  You can see the Real Red behind the Tidings of Christmas DSP.

You can see how the die is placed around the embossed piece if you forget to enclose it in the embossing folder before you emboss it.  The piece on the right side is cropped using the more intricate die.

This is the die that crops the more intricate piece.  The label die can be used to cut the label out of the center as you crop the other piece.  You can see in the photo that a Real Red card stock one is cropped along with the Tidings of Christmas DSP one.  The Tidings of Christmas DSP is layered over the Real Red so that the Red will show.  On the label piece, a greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Stamp Set is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink.

After all the cropping and embossing is finished the pieces are then adhered to a panel of Evening Evergreen card stock that has also been embossed using the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder, it has not been cropped so you can see the snowflakes around the edges that have been highlighted using Silver ink.

A panel of Basic White card stock is stamped with a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Stamp Set using Evening Evergreen ink.  Holly leaves are stamped in Soft Succulent ink and the holly berries are stamped in Real Red ink.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Tidings of Christmas DSP applied to the envelope flap using liquid glue.
