Christmas Wreath

Christmas is the time of year when EVERYONE decorates. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Merry Minis

Paper:

   Real Red A-2

   Myths & Magic 6x6 Glimmer 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 4" Sq., 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Garden Green

   Real Red

   Soft Sea Foam

Technique:

   Brushing/Sponging

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Deckled Circles Dies

   Boxwood Wreaths Embellishments

   Very Vanilla & Copper Ribbon 6"

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the wreath, using the Deckled Circles Dies. You can make your wreath any size you like. I used the 3-3/4" circle for the outer rim and the 1-1/2" circle in the center.

I then brushed the wreath with Soft Sea Foam and stamped images, using the Merry Minis stamps. 

Next, I attached the wreath onto the glimmer paper, using dimensionals.

I then adhered the ribbon with the sentiment clearly in the center. I wrapped the ribbon around to the back and secured it with glue dots. You can use any adhesive you like. I also use glue dots on the back of the ribbon to keep it secured onto the glimmer paper.

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

I then added the boxwood wreath, using glue dots.

The red bow was gifted to me by a fellow stamper, so I don't have any info on it. I adhered it onto the top center of the wreath, using a glue dot.

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

Nutcracker Christmas

 I used three Merry Minis stamps and created my own background for my Merry Christmas banner. I think it works. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Merry Minis

   Banners for Christmas

Paper:

   Whisper White A-2, 2-1/2 x 4, 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Markers:

   Real Red

   Pool Party

   Pumpkin Pie

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the man, the snowman, and the snowflake randomly throughout the card front. 

Next, I grabbed my markers and colored in the men's jackets, the snowflakes, and the snowmen.

I then stamped and die cut the Merry Christmas banner, and attached it using dimensionals.

Lastly, the Whisper White panel was adhered to the inside of the card. This is really not necessary, since the card base is white, but I like that extra thickness and finished look.

Sketchy Joy

 A Christmas wreath with berries is a classic design for the season. I added Joy to the center of my wreath along with a red and white bow on the bottom. I finished it off by matting it with a bit of Real Red and hanging it with a few dimensions on my dry embossed background. This is an easy card to duplicate for a Christmas card list. 

Stamps:

   Sketch It

   Merry Minis

Paper:

   Garden Green A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), 3-1/4" Sq.

   Real Red 3" Sq. 

Ink:

   Garden Green

   Real Red

   Basic Black

   Real Red Watercolor Pencil 

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Layering Circles Framelits

   Snowflake Embossing Folder

   Red & White Striped Ribbon

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

The blender pen is to smooth out the coloring of the Real Red watercolor pencil on the word, Joy.

The glue dot is to attach the bow to the wreath.

The wreath is attached with dimensionals.

I started to sponge some Real Red ink on the embossed background and then decided not to do so. This is an option that can be added if you wish.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Joyful Snowy Scene

Although the scene looks difficult to build, it is not. The background scene is one complete stamp. I added two robins, one snowman, and a deer. The snowman and the deer are stamped and fussy cut. They are attached with dimensionals. That means you don't have to worry about messing up the card. The sentiment can be changed or left off completely.

Stamps:
   White Christmas
   Merry Minis

Paper:
   Crumb Cake A-2, 4-1/2 x 3-1/4
   Cherry Cobbler 4-3/4 x 3-1/2
   Whisper White 1-3/4" Sq., 1-1/4" Sq.

   Early Espresso
   Whisper White Craft

Markers:
   Cherry Cobbler
   Crumb Cake
   Garden Green
   Tangelo Twist
   Early Espresso
   Basic Black
   Chalk White

Technique:
   Fussy Cutting
   Sponging

Accessories:
   Sponge Dauber
   Dimensionals
   Stamp-a-ma-jig, Stamparatus, MISTI

First, I stamped the background trees and slope.

Next, I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the snowman and the deer.

I sponged the snow on the ground, and stamped the falling snow. I added the snow on the tree branches with the chalk marker. You can also use a white gel pen if you have one.

I stamped and colored the robins on the tree branches. These are optional. I stamped them facing each other.

I stamped and colored my sentiment. This too can be changed or left off completely.

I then adhered all of my layers together. Lastly, I attached the snowman and the deer using dimensionals.
