You Shall Call His Name Jesus

Hi Friends!  

This Clean and Simple (CAS) Christmas card is the "stepped up" version of the original design for the Splitcoaststampers’ SC623 Sketch Challenge  and I am also linking to the CAS MIX-Up for December and the Simon Says Monday "Let There Be Snow" Challenge.

I decided to keep the card very simple and created two versions- this post has version #1 and both versions use Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Clear Stamp Sets, Scripture Tree and Winter Blessings.

In addition  to checking out the above challenge sites, if you have not stopped by the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps blog or FB page yet, I hope you will take the time to do so- fabulous inspiration is posted each week from the SNSS Creative Team!

To create this card:

1).  De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing static tool, ink the SNSS Scripture Tree Clear Stamp main tree image with embossing ink and stamp onto the upper left hand portion of the panel.

2). Apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

3). Repeat the same steps above with placing the individual word images from SNSS Scripture Tree Clear Stamp Set, stamping and embossing on the lower right hand side of the trimmed piece of the panel.

4). Ink just the star from the SNSS Scripture Tree image with embossing powder, apply gold embossing powder and heat set.

5). Once the powder has cooled, score double lines above and below the sentiment area (hard to see in the photo).

6). De-static both panels again with an embossing static tool, arrange various snowflakes from the SNSS Winter Blessings Clear Stamp Set, ink with embossing powder and stamp around the panels.

7).  Apply white embossing powder over the stamped snowflakes and heat set with a heat tool.

8). Use a sponge dauber with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to sponge over the snowflake areas and lightly wipe with a paper towel to remove the excess ink from the embossing.

9). Adhere the panels to the white card base with dimensional foam (leaving a space in the center per the sketch) and add rhinestones to the stars to finish off the card.

Quick and easy!!  This version has a bit more color than the all white version (see here in this post). 

Thanks again for taking the time to visit-hugs and I hope you have a fabulous week, sweet friends!

SNSS Scripture Tree

Hi Friends! 

I hope all of you are having a wonderful week so far!  I had a chance to stamp in my stamping studio this evening (well, now it is morning-lol!) and wanted to share a card that I created with the brand new Scripture Tree Clear Stamp set from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps (designed by Korin Sutherland).

I just love how this Scripture has been designed into the shape of a Christmas tree and I think it will be perfect for quick, easy Christmas cards.

I decided to use the CTS#188 Sketch at CAS(E ) This Sketch for the layout- I hope you will have a chance to visit their site and check out all of the wonderful inspiration that one sketch can provide!

To create this card:

De-static a piece of vanilla cardstock with an Embossing Buddy®, stamp the SNSS Scripture Tree image with clear embossing ink, apply gold embossing powder and heat with a heat tool.

Trim the panel, mount onto cherry cardstock, trim again and add the cherry satin ribbon loops.

Trim a piece of designer paper to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”, mount onto a piece of cherry cardstock, trim close to the edge and mount onto the vanilla card base.

Add the Scripture Tree focal image panel to the card front with dimensional foam and finish off the card by adding a few sequins along with a pearl to the center of the star.

Quick and easy for sure!  I cannot wait to create a few more of these cards for Christmas this year :-)

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by- hugs and have a blessed week, sweet friends!
