Divine Night

I like this clean and simple Christmas card. It includes two die cuts and one heat embossed phrase. The background can easily be water-colored. If the designer series paper is unavailable, simply change it. Do you like it? Express yourself in the comments below. 

Stamps:

   Night Divine

Paper:

   Boho Blue A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 2 x 3

   Copper Clay 5 x 4

   O Holy Night DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Gold Metallic

Technique:

   Heat Embossing

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Embossing Buddy

   Gold Embossing Powder

   Night Divine Dies

   Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the stable, using Copper Clay cardstock and the Night Divine Dies. I set it aside.

I then die cut the nativity scene, using Basic Black and the Night Divine Dies.

I then used the embossing buddy on the center of the DSP panel. This helps to keep the embossing powder in place and off the surrounding area.

 

Next, I placed the die cuts on the DSP panel and more or less made note of where to place the sentiment. 

Using Gold Metallic ink, I stamped, applied gold embossing powder, and heat set the sentiment.

Next, I adhered the die cut images onto the DSP panel. I then adhered the panel to a Basic Black matte, and then on to a Boho Blue card front.

Lastly, I added a star trinket to the top of the stable and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

First, I stamped the trees, using Early Espresso, on the Basic White panel (5 x 3-3/4). Note that the trees reach the top of the panel.

I then stamped and die cut the tree, using Shaded Spruce ink and In the Woods Framelits. I used the 3 x 4 piece.

Next, I die cut the top edge of the glimmer paper using the framelit from the set. I adhered this onto the bottom of the stamped white panel.

I attached the tree using dimensionals.

I then stamped the sentiment on the 2 x 2-3/4 Basic White piece, using Merry Merlot ink. I punched it out with the Everyday Label Punch and sponged it with a bit of Merry Merlot ink. This was adhered to the top right of the panel, using my favorite adhesive.

I then adhered this panel onto an Early Espresso matte, and then onto the Merry Merlot card front.

Lastly, I added a few iridescent rhinestones, and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Paper:

   Very Vanilla 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

First, I punched out the ornament shape on the Night of Navy cardstock. I kept the punched image to use on another project at a later time.

I then adhered the ribbon to the top of the punched piece. I made sure the words "Merry Christmas" showed on the top. I adhered it, using Stampin' Seal+.

Next, I adhered the punched panel on to the center of the DSP panel, and then on to the Very Vanilla panel.

This panel was then adhered to the Pretty Peacock card front.

Lastly, I added a few Star Designer Elements to the card front and adhered the other Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card.

Note: Even though I did not use a stamp set on this card, everything I used coordinates with the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set.

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

   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.

HAPPY STAMPING!

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.

HAPPY STAMPING!

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.
