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.

The First Noel

 

Merry Christmas Sweet Friends!

I hope all of you have a blessed day celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! 

^“And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.  And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”    Luke 2:8-11 ESV

I love all of the patterns in the new Echo Park The First Noel 6x6 paperpad and used one of the cut-a-parts as the main image for this Christmas card along with a sentiment from the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set.

I will be sharing this card at the Word Art Wednesday #523-#524 "Anything Goes" Challenge. 

If you have not had a chance to visit the Stamp Simply blog or the Word Art Wednesday Challenge blog yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment from Farmhouse Christmas with black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut the sentiment with the medium double ended die from the Fishtail Sentiment Banners.

Trim a piece of white cardstock to approx. 3 ¾” x 5”. Die cut the panel with the lattice die from the Tim Holtz Mixed Media #1 Dies.

Mount the die-cut panel onto the red patterned sheet from The First Noel paper pad, trim and mount onto a piece of navy cardstock.

Trim a piece of the gold patterned paper from The First Noel paper pad, mount onto navy cardstock and adhere to the card front.

Wrap a piece of sage twill ribbon to the center of the horizontal strip and adhere the ends of the ribbon behind the panel.  

Mount the panel onto a white card front.

Trim the nativity patterned cut-a-part, mount onto navy cardstock and adhere to the card front with dimensional foam.

Mount the sentiment with dimensional foam and finish off the card with a pearl in the center of the star.

A quick and easy card- perfect for mailing and reflecting the "Real Reason for the Season"!

Joy to the World

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a quick Christmas card designed with the new stamps and paper from the October release along with other stamps and supplies from Stamp Simply!  

Look at all those gorgeous stamps and coordinating dies in this new release!

I chose the Scripty Background Minis 2 set for my card- I love the fonts used as well as the four different verse sentiments in each stamp set.  The Scripty Background Minis are available individually- Scripty Background Minis 1 and Scripty Background Minis 2 or as a bundle (both sets in the bundle are pictured below). 

Also, I absolutely love the new Sending Joy 6x6 paper pad from Studio Light- so many pretty patterns for quick Christmas cards! Add a stamped sentiment and a bit of layering and you are finished!

I will be linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #513- #514 “Anything Goes” Challenge as well as the Watercooler Wednesday #326 “Helen’s All About Occasions” Challenge.  I am so far behind on creating Christmas cards, I am thankful that this one was fairly quick and easy :-)

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

To create this card:

De-static a piece of the Sending Joy designer paper with an embossing powder tool and trim to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”.

Ink the Joy to the World background stamp from the Scripty Background Minis Set 2 with Versamark ink, stamp repeatedly (offsetting as you stamp) across the background, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, use a clear glitter marker to add shimmer to the trees and snow line, set aside.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the reindeer and Joy to the World ornament image from Farmhouse Christmas with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, carefully fussy-cut around the images.

 Layer onto another piece of white cardstock and fussy cut again (this gives the pieces a bit more strength).

Add a piece of silver cord to the ornament and mount the ornament onto the stamped background panel with dimensional foam (wrapping the ends of the cord behind the designer paper).

 Mount onto a piece of black cardstock and adhere to a white card base.

Add the reindeer image with dimensional foam and a looped bow from the silver cord to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: Scripty Background Minis Set 2, Farmhouse Christmas  (Stamp Simply)

Ink/Mediums: Versamark, Versafine Onyx Black, Zig Wink of Stella Brush- Clear Glitter Marker

Cardstock/Paper:  White, Black;  Studio Light- Sending Joy 6x6 Paper Pad
