I wanted to do a fun and whimsical Christmas card too. I was inspired
by THIS card created by Helene at Stamp 2 LeNotte. Take a look at my version.
- Stamps: More Merry Messages
- DSP: Festival of Prints DSP Stack, Silver Glimmer Paper
- Card Stock: Pool Party, Real Red, Whisper White, Early Espresso
- Ink: Real Red
- Accessories: Wood Grain embossing folder, Merry Minis Punch Pack, Pennant Builder Punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Apothecary Accents Framelits, 2-Way Glue Pen
For this one I started off with a 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” piece of Pool Party
card stock and scored it at 4-1/4”. Next I cut a piece of 3-3/4” x 5-1/4” and
ran it through the Big Shot in the Woodgrain embossing folder. I adhered this
onto the card front. Then I cut a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper 1/4” x 5-1/4”
and adhered it right next to the textured Pool party card stock.
Now for the panel with the tree… I started off by adhereing a 1-1/4” x
4-1/2” piece of Whisper White card stock onto a 1-3/8” x 4-5/8” piece of Real
Red card stock. Then I cut a piece of Early Espresso card stock 1/4” x 1” and
adhered it onto the very bottom of the Whisper White panel. I used the Pennant
Builder punch to punch out five straight triangles from five different patterns
of Festival of Prints DSP and used 2-Way Glue Pen to adhere one on top of another
with each one at a slightly different angle. Then I used the star punch from
the Merry Minis Punch Pack to punch a star out of Silver Glimmer Paper. I
adhered the star onto the top of the three. I adhered this panel onto the card
front with a couple Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Next I stamped the greeting from More Merry Messages onto a scrap of
Whisper White card stock in Real Red ink. I cut out the greeting with the
Apothecary Accents label and adhered the label onto the card front with a
couple Stampin’ Dimensionals.
That’s it! It’s pretty simple and I just love how cute it is! What do
you think?
