SC93 Contempo Christmas Banners and Snowflakes :-)

Hi Stampers! 

I wanted to create a few masculine Christmas cards and decided to use some retired Designer Series Paper along with the Stampin’ Celebration SC93 Sketch Challenge :-)

Again, if you have not already visited the Stampin’ Celebration site, I hope you will find the time to do so- great Design Team samples! 

To create this Clean and Layered (CAL) card:

Cut strips from the retired Candlelight Christmas Designer Series Paper and use the Hexagon Punch to create the banner points. 

Adhere a square panel of Very Vanilla cardstock to a piece of Early Espresso cardstock.  Add the three banners to the panel along with the 5/8” Triple Early Espresso Satin Ribbon bow.

Stamp the sentiment from the retired Contempo Christmas set using Early Espresso Classic Ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Trim the panel and mount onto the Early Espresso card front.

Add the banner panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to the card front.

Add the punched Early Espresso and Very Vanilla snowflakes along with the Pearls to finish off the card

Stamp Sets: Contempo Christmas

Ink: Early Espresso

Paper: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, retired Candlelight Christmas DSP

Accessories: Hexagon Punch, Snowflake Punch (Martha Stewart), 5/8” Early Espresso Satin Ribbon, Pearls

FM142 Formal Red Dress Birthday

Hi Again Stampers!

While I had the colors out for this week’s PPA187 Pals Paper Arts Challenge, I decided to create a second card with the PPA187colors, the FMS118 Sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and The Friday Mashup! FM142 Theme Challenge-Birthdays.  

Again, I hope you have the time to check out all three sites- so much inspiration!

To create this card:

Use the Big Shot™ along with Beautifully Barogue Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock.   Emboss a piece of Soft Sky cardstock( layered onto Real Red cardstock strips) using the Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder and adhere to the embossed Whisper White panel.

Stamp the sentiment from Wetlands using Real Red Classic Ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and create the banner points using the Hexagon Punch.  Mount the sentiment onto the Soft Sky layer, add the 5/8” Organza Ribbon Bow and add the entire panel to the Real Red cardbase.

Use the Big Shot™ along with the Dress Up Framelits™ to cut the dress shape from a piece of Soft Sky cardstock and retired Acrylic Sheet with Flocked Accents (from Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP).  FYI- I had to hand cut the acrylic sheet to finish off the dress since the material would not cut all the way through with the framelit™.

Layer the flocked acrylic piece over the Soft Sky dress cut-out and add to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.   Add the Pearl to the center of the dress and the Real Red rolled flower to finish off the card :-)

Stamp Sets: Wetlands

Ink: Real Red

Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Soft Sky, retired Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper

Accessories: Big Shot™, Beautifully Baroque and Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folders, Hexagon Punch, Pearl, 5/8” Organza Ribbon
