Krafty Chicks Challenge #707
Krafty Chicks Challenge #707 Christmas —Denise
I have the honor of being the Guest Chick for Krafty Chicks Challenge for the month of March. This is the second week and the theme as you can see above is Christmas. It is never too early to get a start for your Christmas cards. i can’t wait to see all the Christmas cards.
I am so happy Stampin’ Up! carried this stamp set over. It is a beautiful set and makes beautiful Christmas cards. Inked Botanicals is the Designer Series Paper used as the background pieces.
The card base is Lost Lagoon cardstock with a layer of Pretty Peacock cardstock as the mat for the Inked Botanical Designer Series Paper background. I cut a piece of the Inked Botanical cut in four pieces, embossed using the Cross Hatch 3D Embossing Folder from Basic 3D Embossing Folders. The four pieces are then adhered to the Pretty Peacock cardstock mat leaving a border between each.
A tag is die cut from a piece of Basic White cardstock using a die from Stampin’ Up! Merriest Tree Dies. A greeting is stamped on the tag in Memento Black ink. A length of Pool Party ribbon is looped through the tag and tied in a bow. A tree image from Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees stamp set is stamped in Garden Green ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock, die cut and popped on the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Snowflakes are also die cut from Basic White cardstock and popped on the card front. Rhinestone Basic Jewels are popped in the center of each snowflake.
The negative piece left when the tree on the card front was die cut is used as the frame for a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock. A sentiment is stamped in Versa Mark ink, sprinkled with White Embossing Powder and heat embossed using a heat gun.
A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

If you love card making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card making items, or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount. When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.

Stampin’ Up! Enduring Beauty stamp set and Dies is used today to create the card I am sharing with you. I also used Stampin’ Up! Beach Days stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Lazy Days stamp set. I also used the large die from Stampin’ Up! Two Tone Flora Dies to create the background piece for this card.
