Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Christmas Card

The card I am sharing today is another poinsettia but instead of stamping and cropping, I used the dies to crop poinsettias from Basic White card stock, leaves were cut from Garden Green card stock, and edges of leaves were colored using Garden Green ink. I also used Painted Christmas DSP and strips from a Red Foil Sheet.

My design inspiration for today is the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge.

The card base is Garden Green card stock. A panel of the Painted Christmas DSP is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A strip of Tidings of Christmas DSP is adhered vertically over the Painted Christmas DSP.

The poinsettia is cropped from Basic White card stock. Coloring is done using a blending brush and Merry Merlot ink. It creates a nice pink. Leaves and other greenery are cropped using dies from the Poinsettia Dies and Intricate Leaves Dies. A dry arrangement is created to see how the placement is to be, before applying the adhesive.

The poinsettia and greenery are adhered over the vertical DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A length of the gold twine is wrapped around three times and adhered with a glue dot. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Deer is stamped on a scrap of Basic White card stock in Merry Merlot ink, then fussy cut and popped on the front corner.

The inside Basic White panel is trimmed with a piece of the Painted Christmas DSP. A poinsettia is stamped in Smoky Slate ink in the center of the panel. A sentiment will later be stamped over the poinsettia.

Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Merry Christmas

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set, Poinsettia Dies, Wintery 3-D Embossing Folder, Merry Merlot card stock, Copper Foil Sheet, Basic White card stock, and Garden Green card stock. Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are scattered around the card front. This is a CAS(E) of Debbie O’Neil

Inspiration comes from the Festive Friday Challenge. I am choosing flowers, embossing, pastel colors (poinsettia is a pastel soft color), shimmer(the gold embossing and rhinestones give the shimmer.)

Also, the Paper Players Challenge. I chose the bottom row foil, embossing, and embellishments.

Start with a Merry Merlot card base. Cut the card stock 4-1/4″ x 8-1/4″. Score the card stock base at 5-1/2″ score and fold. This will create your fun fold.

Cut a panel of Basic White card stock 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″. Emboss this panel using the Wintery 3-D Embossing Folder. Cut a 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ panel from a Copper Foil Sheet. This is the mat for the Basic White square. Adhere the Basic White square to the Copper Foil Square using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petal Stamp Set, stamp the three largest poinsettias using Versa Mark ink and Copper Embossing Powder. After stamping with the Versa Mark, sprinkle Copper Embossing Powder and heat emboss using your heat tool. Put several drops of Merry Merlot ink on a surface that you can add water from a Water Painter. Make the water and ink a light pink, you can see the color of my poinsettia, or maybe you want your poinsettia darker. Crop the poinsettias using dies from the Poinsettia Dies. Crop leaves from Garden Green card stock, brushing the leaf edges using Garden Green ink gives the leaves some depth. Crop the berries from a Copper Foil Sheet. Dry arrange your poinsettia with the leaves and berries, take a picture (tip from Mary Deatherage) so you know how your arrangement looks when you adhered the adhesives.

Cut a panel of Basic White card stock and a panel of Copper Foil Sheet as the mat for the panel. Stamp Merry Christmas at the bottom of the Basic White panel so it will show when the card front is folded down.

Stampin’ Up! Angels of Peace Christmas Card

My card today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Angels of Peace and For Unto Us Stamp Sets, along with the Merry Melody 3-D Embossing Folder.

I am playing along with the Creative Creases Challenge for today.

The card base is Basic White card stock as is the Merry Melody 3-D Embossed panel. This is a step card. The embossed panels have strip of Gold Foil adhered down the side.

The angels from the Stampin’ Up! Angels of Peace Stamp Set are stamped with Versa Mark then embossed using Stampin’ Up! Gold Embossing Powder. They are colored using Polished Pink and Balmy Blue ink and a Water Painter. I love doing watercolor. After coloring they are popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used watercolor pencils to color the bird, holly in the little angel’s hand, her head wreath, and the faces and arms. To give a little shadow to the angel wings, I used a really water down Balmy Blue ink, so there is just the faintest color. Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped around the card front. A star is cropped from Gold Foil paper. The greeting from Stampin’ Up! For Unto Us Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink, fussy cut and popped on a Gold Foil background.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! For Unto Us Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. The little angel from the Angels of Peace Stamp Set is stamped in Gold ink. The panel has a Gold Foil strip adhered down the left side.

A medium while envelope gets the envelope flap embossed using the Merry Melody 3-D Embossing Folder.

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Cabin Thinking of You Card

My card today is a fun fold and is created using the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Cabin Stamp Set, Cabin Dies and the Tasteful Textile 3-D Embossing Folder.

I love fun fold and this is my challenge for the day, Creative Creases Challenge. It is always a fun fold challenge.

I used a piece of Real Red card stock to show the score lines as red shows up better than Smoky Slate with scorelines. Score at 1-1/4″, 2-1/2″, 6-1/4″ and 7-1/2″.

From Real Red card stock cut this: (4) 1-1/8″ x 5-1/8″; (2) 3-3/8″ x 5-1/8″ These are the for mats for the DSP. Adhere using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

From the Peaceful Place DSP cut the following: (4) 1″ x 5″; (1) 3-1/4″ x 5″. Adhere to the Real Red, then adhere to the card base front and back. Pop 3 Holiday Rhinestones on the trees.

From Basic White card stock cut a 3-1/4″ x 5″ panel for the sentiment panel. Adhere to the Real Red mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Placeful Place DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Elegance Merry Christmas

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Elegance Stamp Set along with the Evergreen Forest Embossing Folder.

Since my card is a fun fold, I have decided to play along in the challenge at Creative Creases Challenge. It is always a fun fold if you like fun folds. I love fun folds but most of the time do not take the time to make them.

I started with a Basic White card stock card base. A panel of Basic White is stamped using a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Elegance Stamp Set using Shaded Spruce ink. This panel is then embossed and cut to fit the panel on the card front. Directions for cutting and scoring are at the end of the post. I watched several and I mean several videos on how to do this card before it finally registered in this tired brain. The greeting is stamped in Real Red ink, fussy cut, and popped on the card front. The trees along the bottom above the greeting are punched using the Evegreen Border Punch.

The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Elegance Stamp Set. It is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink, trees are stamped at the bottom of the Basic White card stock panel. Stars from the Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins is popped on the top of the panel.

A medium white envelope flap gets embossed using the Mountain Forest 3-D Embossing Folder.

Card Cuts

Basic White card stock
- card base — 4-1/4″ x 11″
- embossed panels — 3/4″ x 4-1/8″ (cut 2)
- center embossed panel — 2″ x 4-1/4″
- inside panel — 3-7/8″ x 4″

A guide for cutting and scoring the card is below. Since I am not a professional graphic designer, I hope you can understand my directions. It took me a long time to figure this out, about 10 hours–am I slow or what? The lines around the outside were solid when I drew them but for some reason when I took a photo it became dashed lines.
