Prince of Peace

Gold embossing looks great on dark colors. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Night Divine

Paper:

   Copper Clay A-2, 2 x 3

   Basic White 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   O Holy Night DSP 5-1/4 x 4 

Ink:

   Gold Metallic

Technique:

   Heat Embossing

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Embossing Buddy

   Gold Embossing Powder

   Night Divine Dies

   Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets

   Adhesive

First, I heat embossed the sentiment on the top of the DSP panel. I stamped it, using Gold Metallic Ink, added Gold Embossing Powder, then heat set it. Do not forget to use an embossing buddy on the DSP first to make sure you do not have any golden stray marks. Although, if you do, you can call them shooting stars!

I then die cut the figures, using the Night Divine dies and Copper Clay card stock. 

I adhered the die cuts below the sentiment, using adhesive.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic White matte, and then onto the Copper Clay card front.

Lastly, I added an Adhesive-Backed Star Trinket and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Stillness

This distINKtive stamp set can be monochromatic, adding just the right shade of color to the images. You can also opt to add color after stamping, or add color directly to the stamp before stamping. What is your preference? 

Stamps:

   Graceful Deer

   Regal Reindeer

Paper:

   Early Espresso A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scrap

Ink:

   Early Espresso

   Real Red

Marker:

   Real Red

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:

   Large Oval Punch

   Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes

   Snowfall Accents Puff Paint

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

Since, this is a large stamp, you may choose to use a Stamparatus or MISTI to get a good impression. 

First, I stamped my image, using Early Espresso onto a Basic White panel.

I then colored the red robin in the tree, using a Real Red marker.

Next, I added some Snowfall Accents Puff Paint and heat set it. I tried to not add too much of this. I used it mostly around the bottom of the trees and the deer's feet.

I then stamped and punched out the sentiment, using Real Red ink and the Large Oval Punch. I adhered it with dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered the panel onto the Early Espresso card front, added a few snowflakes, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Quiet

I am delighted when all I have to do is stamp a sentiment on a card front and send it off. You can always add more, but I think less is more. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Perched in a Tree

Paper:

   Smoky Slate A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Winter Meadow DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my sentiment on the top of a Winter Meadow DSP panel, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

I then adhered this panel onto a Basic Black matte, and then onto the Smoky Slate card front.

Next, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

You can easily change the sentiment to suit your current need.

Windy Christmas

The Frost Winter All-Purpose Ink looks quite differently in real life. It adds a shimmer and gives the illusion of a windy day. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Fragrant Forest

Paper:

   Real Red A-2, 2-3/4 x 5

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink/Markers:

   Garden Green

   Old Olive

   Shaded Spruce

   Smoky Slate

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Merry Christmas Thinlits

   Frost Winter All-Purpose Ink

   Sponge Dauber

   Adhesive

First, I added ink to the large Fragrant Forest stamp. I used markers to add the ink, but you can use Stampin' Spots, or the large ink pads, if you are careful. Garden Green was applied at the top, followed by Old Olive in the middle and Shaded Spruce on the bottom. I used Smoky Slate for the bits of marks in the snow. Of course, you can ink the entire stamp, using one color if you choose.

I then stamped the image on a Basic White panel. You may want to use a Stamparatus or MISTI, in case you need to stamp more than once.

Next, I added the Frost Winter All-Purpose ink. I used a sponge dauber to add the ink across the panel. I didn't allow enough time for the ink to dry, which caused a bit of a smear on the top trees. I think it still works.

I then adhered the panel to a Basic Black matte, and then onto the Real Red card front.

I die cut "Merry Christmas" for the card front. This die set is discontinued, but you can use any of the word dies you have on hand. I used a traditional Real Red color, but you can choose any of your favorites and then just match the card base with the word dies. I adhered the dies, using liquid adhesive.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Berry Delightful

 I so enjoy making a card when Stampin' Up! hands us designer paper that is already stamped and coordinates beautifully with their products. The Delightful Floral DSP is available only while supplies last. Obviously, when they are sold out, I will just stamp and die cut my own with the Translucent Floral Bundle. So, I bought them all. This way, my fun is never-ending. What do you prefer: designer paper, stamp set, die cuts or all? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Berry Burst A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Delightful Floral DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Tinsel Gems Four-Pack

   Adhesive

First, I cut the DSP panel and adhered it to a Basic Black matte and then onto a Berry Burst card front.

Next, I added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Lastly, I added an embellishment from the Tinsel Gems Four Pack.

Here is another card, using Calypso Coral as a card base and another panel from the same 12 x 12 DSP sheet:

Berry Delightful Too

You can easily add a sentiment to the cards for a specific occasion. I chose to leave these alone to use as all occasion cards.

Serene

Here is one of those large stamps that you can color with any medium you wish. I decided to use my watercolor crayons this time, but I think I may try my watercolor pencils next. What medium would you choose? 

Stamps:

   Calm & Quiet

Paper:

   Pacific Point A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Watercolor 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Jet Black StazOn

Watercolor Crayons:

   Baja Breeze

   Basic Gray

   Chocolate Chip

   Crumb Cake

   Early Espresso

   Garden Green

   Pacific Point

   Soft Suede

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Watercolor

Accessories:

   Deckled Rectangles Dies

   Aqua Painter

   Paper Towel

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my image in the center of a watercolor panel, using Jet Black StazOn ink.

I then colored the image, using my watercolor crayons. Stampin' Up! has discontinued these, but any medium will work. I listed the colors I used above. Browns were used on the wood, greens were used on the greenery, and the blues were used on the water and sky.

I then went over the image with my Aqua Painter to spread the watercolor crayons on the image. I kept a paper towel handy to dab at areas that needed it.

Next, I used the second to the largest deckled rectangle die to center my image and to give the edges an interesting look.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Black panel and then onto the Pacific Point card front. You will want to use whatever color matches one of your colors on your image for the card base.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card for a personal message. I left off a sentiment to keep the card as an all occasion card.
