Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly Christmas Card

Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly Christmas Card

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Hope & Peace stamp set for the greeting and sentiment, and the Stampin’ Up! Fern 3D Embossing Folder.

I am entering the Alphabet Challenge for this post as this is a Christmas card and their challenge is H for Holidays.

I started with a card base of Basic White card stock.  I embossed a panel of the Basic White card stock using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed panel to the Basic White base.  I cut a panel of Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper (DSP) and adhered it to the embossed panel.  Another sprig of greenery from Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments stamp set is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink and cropped using a die from Stampin’ Up! Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder.

A panel of Basic White card stock is cropped using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Scalloped Contour Dies.  Holly Leaves are cropped from Basic White card stock using a die from Stampin’ Up! Holly Berry Dies.  Sprigs of greenery are cropped from Shaded Spruce card stock using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Holly Berry Dies.  

A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Hope & Peace stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a Basic White card stock scrap and cropped using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stylish Shapes Dies.  A Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Marker is used to highlight the edges of the greeting circle.

A length of Real Red Faux Ribbon is tied into a bow.  All the elements are now ready to adhered to the scalloped embossed panel with Mini Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals or Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  After all the elements are adhered the bow is popped in the corner of the panel.  Rhinestone Basic Jewels are colored using a Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker and popped around the card front.

Flowers are fussy cut from a panel of the same Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper (DSP) as the one used for the background on the card front. These flowers are adhered to the bottom and top alternate corner using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Hope & Peace stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink in the middle of the pane.  The panel is then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap.
