Christmas Stocking Joy

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a quick Christmas card using the new Stamp Simply Winter Release bundle, Christmas Stockings & Mittens, Peace & Joy Word Dies, Craft Consortium Tartan Plaid 6x6 Paper and a few other stamps and supplies from Stamp Simply.

I enjoy participating with online challenges and will be linking this card to the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #180 Featured Designer Vicky (center column down- Jewel Colors (Emerald and Sapphire), Any Sentiment, Plaid) and the Word Art Wednesday #561-#562 “AnythingGoes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit the Stamp Simply blog or the other challenge sites yet, I hope you will do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Using a stencil brush with Mowed Lawn and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink, apply the ink onto a piece of white cardstock using the Tim Holtz Holiday Knit Layering Stencil.

De-static the stenciled panel with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from Christmas Joy Sentiments with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Trim the panel and mount onto black cardstock, trim again and mount onto lime green cardstock (sponged with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink).

Trim again and mount onto black cardstock before adhering to the white card base.

Die cut the Joy Word Die from black cardstock and adhere to the panel.

Die-cut the stocking die (from the Christmas Stockings & Mittens bundle) from a piece of green plaid (Craft ConsortiumTartan Plaid 6x6 Paper Pad). 

Die cut the stitched cuff, hanger, toe, heel, and snowflake pieces (from the Christmas Stockings & Mittens bundle) from white cardstock and adhere to the stocking.

Sponge a bit of Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink onto lime green cardstock and die cut three sprigs using the Two Sprigs die.

Layer the die-cut sprigs behind the stocking die cut and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Add a silver cord bow and black rhinestone to the center of the snowflake.

Use a clear glitter marker to add sparkle to the sprigs, snowflake, and Joy sentiment.

Finish off the inside of the card by stamping the sentiment from Farmhouse Christmas onto a piece of white cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black ink and trim the panel to approx. 3 ¾” x 5”.

Mount onto a piece of black cardstock, trim and add to the card center.

Adhere a strip of the green tartan plaid to finish off the card.

Colored/Uncolored Ornament Cards

 Hi Friends! 

Sharon is sharing my cards today on the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store blog,  and with only twenty days to go until Christmas, we are focusing on quick and easy cards for the month of December.  Plus, Stamp Simply is offering a wonderful gift for you: 

This card has two versions- a plainer version and the other colored ornaments.

To create this card:

De-static a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the ornament stamps from Christmas Joy Sentiments with Versamark , apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, use a craft knife and a self-healing mat to cut along the edge of the lower ornament.

Layer a piece of designer paper (I used a scrap piece of the Kaisercraft Peace & Joy from the quilt card set I shared in a previous post) onto the area below the ornaments.

Mount the entire panel onto a piece of light green cardstock and add a strip of 5/8” red satin ribbon (under the tip of the ornament) and wrap the ends of the ribbon behind the panel.

Adhere the entire panel to a piece of red cardstock (4 ¼” x 5 ½”), mount onto a white card base.

Finish off the card with a few pearls and a red satin bow.

For the colored version of this card:

Repeat the above steps and add color to the ornaments using red and light green water-based markers (be careful not to smear the ink over the gold embossing).  Use a piece of tissue to lightly dab the ornaments to remove excess ink from the marker.

Stamps: Christmas Joy Sentiments (Stamp Simply)

Cardstock/Paper:  Whisper White, Real Red; Peace & Joy (Kaisercraft)

Look how quick and easy this card was to create!  I hope I have inspired you to create a few cards for this upcoming Christmas.  Or possibly get started on your needs for next year- I tend to create Christmas cards all year long, do you? 

As many of you who follow my blog know, I enjoy participating with online challenges and will be entering the colored version in the Word Art Wednesday #468-#469 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

Thanks again for visiting and I hope you have a fabulous weekend! If you have the time, stop by again soon- I will be sharing more cards this week.
