All is Calm

 


Hi Friends!

This week we are preparing for Christmas on the Stamp Simply blog

I decided to create another simple Christmas card using the Floral Clusters- Winter Poinsettia stamp set, the Floral Clusters and Sprigs die and the Snowflake Blessings Border Strip stamp set along with gold embossing powder (all from Stamp Simply).



If you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, I hope you will do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4¼” x 5 ½” .

De-static the panel with an embossing powder tool, ink the border image from the Snowflake Blessings Border Strip stamp set with Versamark ink, stamp onto the prepared panel, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Repeat the above steps to create the background. 

Trim the panel to 4” x 5 ¼” and mount the panel onto a white card base.

De-static another piece of white cardstock and heat emboss the winter poinsettia image with gold embossing powder. 

Die cut the image with the Floral Cluster die (I also die cut another one from white cardstock to layer behind the embossed image). 

Heat emboss the sentiment from the Snowflake Blessings Border Strip stamp set with gold embossing powder and die cut with the Fishtail Sentiment Banners die.

Adhere the sentiment to the card front.

Mount the die cut poinsettia to the card front and add a few champagne rhinestones to the flower center to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: Floral Clusters- Winter Poinsettia, Snowflake Blessings Border Strip (Stamp Simply)

Inks/Mediums: Versamark

Cardstock/Paper: White

Accessories/Tools: Gemini, Jr., Simply Steel Dies- Floral Cluster and Sprigs, Fishtail Sentiment Banners Dies, Kaisercraft Self Adhesive Round Rhinestones- Champagne, Embossing Powder Tool, Gold Embossing Powder, Heat Tool
