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.

Stamp Simply Winter Release

 

Hi Friends!

Welcome to the Winter 2022 Release from Stamp Simply!  I love the new stamp sets/bundles and word dies!

 

I decided to create a set of cards using the new stamps/dies along with the Carta Bella Welcome Winter 6x6 Paper Pad and other dies and supplies.

If you follow my blog, you know that I am trying to create a card for each of the over 950+ Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenges and used a different sketch for each of the cards.

Card #1:  Merry Christmas Wishes Stocking

I used the Splitcoaststampers SC30 Sketch  from 2005 (flipped upside down:-)) for the layout on this card. 

The background panels are trimmed from different patterns of the designer paper from the Carta Bella Welcome Winter 6x6 paper pad, layered onto navy cardstock and mounted onto a white card base.

The Tim Holtz Crochet Die was die cut from white cardstock and was layered onto a vertical panel of white cardstock (hard to photograph white on white).

The stocking image from Christmas Stockings & Mittens Bundle was stamped onto the Carta Bella paper, die cut with the coordinating stocking die, white cardstock used for the toe, heel, cuff and snowflake pieces, everything was layered together and the sprigs were die cut from green cardstock.

The lighter blue cardstock panel behind the stocking was die cut with the Pierced Rectangle Dies.

Shimmer was added with a clear glitter marker to the stocking and snowflake. 

The card was finished off with a silver cord bow and pearls.

Card #2 was designed in basically the same way as card #1 with a few additions.

I used the Splitcoaststampers SC700/SC01 Sketch Challenge for the layout and designed the three tags by stamping the new Snowflake Blessings Border Strip  with navy and light blue ink onto white cardstock, trimming to a rectangle to fit the three light blue tags die cut with the Sizzix Thinlits by Tim Holtz- Tag Collection dies.

The Blessings word die was die cut from navy cardstock (I die cut two and layered them together for dimension).  Shimmer was added with a clear glitter marker.

 

Stamps:  Christmas Stockings & Mittens Bundle, Snowflake Blessings Border Strip (Stamp Simply)

Ink/Mediums: Versafine Onyx Black, Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen

Cardstock/Paper: White, Navy, Marina Mist, Mossy Meadow (from my stash); Carta Bella Welcome Winter 6x6 Paper Pad
