Detailed Deer Christmas card with Woodland Embossing Folder

 I thought you might like to see a Christmas card idea I took to Orlando to swap with other Stampin' UP! demonstrators at our 2018 OnStage event!!

I used the Stampin' Up! Detailed Deer framelit with Copper Foil paper, the Woodland Embossing folder in the background, Glimmer Paper, shimmer paint, and more!

I love the deer die cut from the copper foil paper... it's really the focal point of the card!

You can make these cards!!  All supplies are available in my online store, just click ANY product photo at the bottom of my blog post! Thank you!

 

 

The Woodland Embossing folder from Stampin' UP! creates the perfect background for this card!! The subtle tree trunks in the background were embossed with my Big Shot then I spritzed them with Frost White Shimmer Paint... scroll down a little to see more about that!

The greeting is stamped with Merry Merlot ink from the Merry Christmas to All stamp set on a Stitched Label framelit die cut and decorated with the Frosted & Clear epoxy droplets.

When I make multiple cards, I always cut, embossed, die cut, score and stamp all the layers first, gather all my supplies, then make all the cards.. here are my swap card supplies:

 

 

TIP!  Be sure to use Multipurpose Liquid Glue  when adhering your embossed images to your handmade cards.. it holds the layers together much better than dry adhesives.   I used it also when adhering the glimmer paper "snow" to the embossed image.

To create the Glimmer paper snow, I cut a 3" x 4" pieces of glimmer paper then used my paper snips to cut a wavy line down the middle, and that produced TWO pieces of snowy hills.  :)

 

 

The neighborhood squirrel was watching me from the top of the fence.. I'm sure he thought I'd lost my marbles! :)

If you haven't mixed up some Shimmer Paint with rubbing alcohol in a Stampin' Spritzer yet, you are in for a treat!!  You can see more info and watch the video HERE!

I also took a bunch of the cute coffee cup cards to Orlando for swapping.. I'll be blogging those soon!

Feather & Frost Christmas Wreath Card idea

 

I love square cards because they are a bit unexpected, but so fun!  I created this square card featuring the Stampin' UP! Feather & Frost stamp set and the Layering Squares framelit dies.  I also used a bit of an unexpected Christmas color combo of Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce!

 

 Directions:

• I started by die cutting the Whisper White Scalloped Square in the Big Shot, then stamping the flower like a clock, at 12 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock, then stamping the flower in between, in Poppy Parade ink.
• I masked the flowers and stamped several leaves from the Candy Cane Season stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink.
• I stamped the banner from Birthday Banners in Shaded Spruce, die cut it with the Bunch of Banners framelits, and then stamped the LOVE & JOY in Poppy Parade (it's from the Great Joy set (pg 22 Holiday catalog).
• The sweet bow is stamped with Shaded Spruce ink, and it's from the Candy Cane bundle!
• Final touch, add logs of bling with Gold Metallic pearls!

Ready to make your own handmade Christmas cards this year? You will find all of the stamp sets, ink pads, cardstock, and accessories in my ONLINE Stampin' UP! store, or click any of the product photos at the bottom of this post to shop right in my store.

What do you think of this Stampin' UP! Christmas color combo?  Vibrant and bright Poppy Parade, paired with the elegant and stately Shaded Spruce!?

 The Layering Square framelits are definitely one of the stars of the show here!!   I layered the Whisper White scalloped square onto Shaded Spruce, then another Whisper White square then onto a 4-1/4" square Poppy Parade folded card base.

After I stamped the Poppy Parade Flowers, I used a Blender Pen to just slightly blend the ink without really coloring them in.

Looking for the Feather & Frost stamp set?  Find it on page 30 of your 2018 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog, or here in my online store.

 

I hope you enjoyed this inspiration for your handmade Christmas cards!

DIY Note Pad project for Christmas To-Do List

 I am a "to do list" lover.  I have lists everywhere.  One place I keep a notepad for my lists is my car.  I love these Clear Stamp Case Note Pad Holders in my car because it keeps the list nice and clean and protected from you know.. stuff like spills or the occasional french fry that leaps out of the bag... :)

We made these at our recent Luv 2 Stamp Group stamp day.   I took all of the Stampin' Up! supplies to the event and everyone made one!

 

 Download your FREE .pdf tutorial HERE

 

Get ALL the Step by Step tips in the free download above!

 

You can read all the step by step tips to make your own note pad holder in the free download above, but basically you will want to create the designer paper insert with Stampin' Up! designer paper (we used Festive Farmhouse paper) and then a strip of Galvanized paper cut to look like a snowy hill.  It measures a total of 7" x 10-5/8" total.

If you slip this into your clear mount stamp case, close the case, and "crease" on the spine, when you pull the paper out, you'll see exactly where to add the trees and sentiment on the front portion.

 

Use the amazing Tear & Tape to adhere a strip of designer paper over the logo on the mini legal pad, and also to adhere the legal pad into the clear stamp case.  (see below).

 

 

These make GREAT gifts, and because you can purchase a pack of 4 of these clear stamp cases for only $6.00 (here), and you can buy the mini legal pads for just a few dollars at places like Sam's club, Staples, etc., they are really economical!  You might even check the dollar store!

 To decorate the front, I stamped the pine tree from Winter Woods in Shaded Spruce ink on Whisper White cardstock and die cut it with the "In the Woods" framelit dies.  I also die cut one of the detailed trees and left it white.

The greeting is also stamped in Shaded Spruce on Whisper White cardstock, and die cut with the stitched shape circle, layered onto a Shaded Spruce scalloped circle.  The stamps is in the Merry Christmas to All stamp set.

Alpine Adventure Christmas Card Idea

 I had this idea in my head to die cut the Alpine Adventures sled with Stampin' Up! Wood Textures paper.. and I really love how these projects turned out!! I created Christmas card designs and a sweet pillow box for a small gift or gift card!

 

 The Alpine Adventure stamp set and matching Big Shot framelit dies are available as a bundle at 10% off - check out page 11 of the 2018 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog or HERE online.

 

 In addition to making dozens of cards with this bundle, I also used the same basic supplies to decorate a Pillow Box - it's the perfect size for a small gift, some chocolate, some JEWELRY!! :) or a gift card!

TIP!!

Before die cutting the Alpine Sled, add an Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Wood Textures designer paper, then die cut.  That way you can just peel the backing off and adhere it right to your project!!

 

I always like to get all my cutting, embossing, scoring, die cutting and stamping done first, then I assemble my cards.

 

 

I couldn't decide on which embossing folder to use for the background.. my original thought was the Corrugated folder but then I tried the Tin Tile Embossing Folder and loved that too!

 

Purchase the Corrugated Embossing Folder in my online store HERE, or add it to your Wish List, #148026.

 Design Notes:

• The greeting and snowflakes are in the Alpine Adventures stamp set and stamped with Cherry Cobbler and Pool Party ink on a Stitched Shape Oval die cut
• The sprigs are punched with the Sprig punch and Merry Merlot glimmer paper (Joyous Noel Glimmer paper selection #147817) and Pear Pizzazz cardstock that was spritzed with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint
• The gorgeous Cherry Cobbler plaid is found in the Festive Farmhouse designer paper pack and was punched with the Triple Banner Punch
• Final design note: tie a bow with a double strand of Linen Thread and use a Glue Dot to adhere it to the card
• Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11" Crumb Cake cardstock folded in 1/2. Embossed layer is 3-3/4" x 5" and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid glue

 

Purchase the Tin Tile Embossing Folder in my online store HERE, or add it to your Wish List, #147906.

Santa's Workshop Christmas Card Ideas

 Cute and Easy Santa's Workshop Christmas Card ideas featuring the Stampin' UP! Buffalo Check background stamp and the Memories & More card pack!!  You'll find these products in the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday catalog, pages 21 and 38, or at the bottom of today's blog post.

 

I have 3 adorable Christmas cards to share with you today!!  These cards were created with the Memories & More Card pack, the Buffalo check background stamp, and Real Red cardstock.  They are super easy to create!  For the card above and below, Cindee and I die cut the Santa Bag Memories & More card with the Layering Ovals oval framelit, then added the cute Santa cap to the elf (it's a sticker in the package), layered that onto a Garden Green Scalloped Oval die cut, and then added an addition elf and stamped greeting. The stamp is from the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set and die cut with the Farmhouse Framelits (order them as a bundle at 10% off!).  Find the bundle on pg 13 in the Holiday catalog or below in this post with a link to my online store!

The bow is punched out with the Candy Cane punch and the Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper.

Dimensions for cutting and scoring the Real Red cardstock for the Gate Fold:

 

Did you see the totally adorable Gift Card holder I made with these Santa's Workshop Memories & More cards?  If you missed it, CLICK HERE to see that post!

For the card above and below, I cut off 1/2 of the front of a standard fold card and so it opens like a dutch door.  The Buffalo Check is stamped in Coastal Cabana ink on all of the cards, onto Whisper White cardstock. 

The Merry Christmas greeting is found in the Festive Farmhouse stamp set, stamped in Real Red.

 

Below: we die cut one of the Memories & More cards with the Stitched Shape Square framelit die in the Big Shot, and layered it onto a Scalloped Square framelit die cut in Real Red.   The greeting is one of the Memories & More cards die cut with the Festive Farmhouse framelit.

 

 These preprinted cards are really amazing.. if you missed the video WATCH IT HERE to see more about these great little cards! The pack is only $10 !!!

Wreath Card idea for Christmas with Peaceful Noel set

 

Would you believe me if I told you this card intimidated me!? 

I was afraid to try this "random stamped wreath" Christmas card idea featuring the Stampin' UP! Peaceful Noel stamp set.   It was one of the projects I made at Kurstan's BINGO event last month.. it's it amazing!!  AND it was super easy and I LOVE how it turned out!

 

 Step 1:

Trace an oval or circle onto your Whisper White cardstock paper as a guide for stamping.

Use the pine sprigs and other leaf images in the Peaceful Noel set (pg 29 in the 2018 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog, or HERE online) and stamp randomly around the circle or oval. We used Tranquil Tide, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede ink.  Stamp berry image in Merry Merlot ink randomly around the wreath.

 

 Step 2:

Add a 4" strip of the Merry Merlot & Copper reversible ribbon across the wreath, then add a piece of Joyous Noel designer paper on top of the ribbon.

Tuck punched sprigs under the ribbon.  They are punched with the Sprig punch and the Joyous Noel Tranquil Tide glimmer paper.

(All of these supplies are available in my online store - order anytime by clicking on any of the product images at the bottom of this post)

 

Step 3:

Layer the whisper white stamped cardstock onto a piece of Merry Merlot cardstock and onto a folded Crumb Cake card base.

Stamp the greeting in Merry Merlot ink onto a stitched shape framelit oval and add to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

 

TIP!  buy the stamp set and sprig punch in a money-saving 10% off bundle!  See it HERE.

Step 4:

Don't forget to "gussy up" (as my grandma would have said) the envelope, too!

In the Woods Stampin' UP! Customer Thank You Cards

 When you love so many different Stampin' Up! patterns for your Christmas Card design... and cannot decide which one to use..

 

Yes, I used 7 different designer series paper patterns on my Christmas card idea!! I made these for Customer Thank You cards and for a swap I'm participating in.  The paper is from 2 different packs from Stampin' UP!: Festive Farmhouse and Under the Mistletoe.  The cardstock is either Real Red or Garden Green.

Each card also features a cardstock circle embossed with the very popular Swirls & Curls embossing folder, and a stamped sentiment on a Stitched Shape circle die cut.  The greeting is found in the Stylish Christmas stamp set.

ALL SUPPLIES are available in my online Stampin' UP! store here, or click any product photo at the bottom of this post to shop online.

 

 The die cut trees are from the In the Woods framelit set on pg 27 of the 2018 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  (here online)

TIP!

I had 80 trees to spritz, so I put a few dozen at a time into 2 tins and spritzed them with the Frost White Shimmer Paint in my Stampin' Spritzer.  They only take moment to dry, then I repeated this until they were all white and shimmery!!  I bought the "lasagna" pans at the Dollar Tree store.. 2 tins for $1 :)   If you have not spritzed with the shimmer paint yet, watch my VIDEO HERE.

 

 

 

Above: Festive Farmhouse designer paper background

 I also added Twinkle Adhesive-backed sequins to each card for a little extra sparkle.

I made 60 Customer Thank You cards with the design above and the star sequins, and then 20 more of the cards below with the Red Rhinestones for a swap at a Stampin' UP! event this weekend.

Beautiful Baubles Rainbow Pad Christmas Card idea

 

Looking for a super quick and easy holiday card?  I love to make handmade cards for the Christmas Holidays, but since we send out well over 100 each year, sometimes it needs to be a quick card like this one!  Try out a Spectrum Rainbow pad and the Beautiful Baubles stamp set from Stampin' Up! for a beautiful card with lots of pizzazz!  Find the Beautiful Baubles stamp set on page 10 of your 2018 Holiday catalog, or HERE online.

 

I stamped the ornament image twice using my inked rainbow pad and then mounted it to a Fresh Fig cardstock mat embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder.  For shimmer and shine, I sponged some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint onto the raised portion of the embossed image and then added some Frosted & Clear Epoxy droplets!

 

 

Below are a couple of examples of stamps I was using with my rainbow pad.. you can see more info in my video linked below.

If you missed my previous video about inking your own Spectrum Rainbow pads, WATCH BELOW!

 

Reading this in an email? click HERE to view the video.

 

 

Don't you just love the background!?  It's the Swirls & Curls embossing folder shimmered with some Champagne Mist shimmer paint and a sponge dauber!  I layered the embossed Fresh Fig piece on a Blueberry Bushel folded card, and tied it all up with some ruffled Fresh Fig ribbon!
