Quick Christmas Cards

 

Hi Friends!

This week we are continuing to share Christmas cards on the Stamp Simply blog. 

I decided to create another set of easy Christmas cards using the Studio Light Sending Joy 6x6Paper Pad.  I love this paper for quick Christmas cards- just a reminder, this paper pad has been discontinued so once it is sold out at Stamp Simply, it will not be available again. 

If you love this paper as much as I do, buy it now before it is too late!  You can create at least 60 quick cards (if not more) from this one paper pad!

Once I trimmed each piece of the designer paper to approx. 3 ¾” x 5” and distressed the edges, I used an embossing powder tool to de-static the paper before heat embossing the sentiments with Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear embossing powder.

I paired the Rose-Breasted Grosbeak image with an embossed sentiment from the Merry Christmas stamp set, distressed the edges, mounted the panel onto black cardstock before adhering to a white card base.  

So quick and easy, plus flat for mailing!

For the pine tree snow scene card, I heat embossed the sentiment from Christmas Peace, added the May Arts ⅝” Sage Twill Ribbon and 1.75” White Venise Gabriella Lace  (wrapping the ends of the ribbon behind the panel) before mounting onto black cardstock and adhering to a white card base.

Again, this card was easy with just a bit of elegance added with the ribbon/lace and still fairly flat for mailing :-)

If you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, I hope you will do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

Another Quick Set of Christmas Cards

 

Hi Friends!

This week we are focusing on Christmas and my Design Team sisters have created the most beautiful cards.  I hope you take a few minutes to check them out at the Stamp Simply blog!

Today I am sharing another set of quick cards using the Studio Light Sending Joy 6x6 paper pad along with the Merry Christmas Stamp and Die Bundle,  Wonder of Christmas Sentiments stamp set, and a pearl.

With this paper pad, a stamp set or two, and die set, you can create over 40 cards very easily!  FYI- I have two additional quick cards in my last post here.

As many of you who follow my blog know, I enjoy playing along with online challenges,  so I will be linking this card to the A Place to Start November 2023 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, or the A Place To Start Challenge site, I hope you will do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create both of these cards:

Trim two pieces of the Studio Light Sending Joy 6x6 paper to 4”x 5 ¼” and distress the edges with a distressing tool.

De-static the panels with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiments with Versafine Onyx Black, stamp directly onto the designer paper, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Distress the edges of the designer paper and adhere the panels to black cardstock (4 ⅛” x 5 ⅜”), trimming close to the edges.

For the star card, de-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the star image from the Merry Christmas stamp set with Versamark ink onto white cardstock, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, die cut the star  with the coordinating star die. Also die cut another star from plain white cardstock to layer behind the embossed image.

Mount onto the star onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Add a pearl to the star center and adhere the entire panel to a white card base to finish off the card.

The second card is even easier!  After embossing the sentiment onto the panel and mounting onto black cardstock, adhere to a piece of cherry cardstock and mount onto a white card base.

Both cards are nice and flat for mailing as well!

Stamp Sets: Wonder of Christmas , Merry Christmas Bundle (Stamp Simply)

Inks/Mediums: Versamark, Versafine Onyx Black

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a another set of two quick Christmas cards designed with the new Studio Light Sending Joy 6x6 paper pad with the Jesus stamp set along with other items all from Stamp Simply.

I absolutely love all of the patterns in the new Studio Light Sending Joy 6x6 paper pad- you could just add a sentiment and be finished!

Many of you who know that I enjoy participating with online challenges and I will be linking this card to the Simon Says Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge along with The Card Concept #164 Rustic Holiday Challenge (I was inspired by the colors, the rustic theme as well as the greenery and lights.  Both cards are Clean and Layered Shabby and Vintage style). 

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- gorgeous inspiration from all!

To create this set of cards:

Trim the ornament and truck patterned paper from the Sending Joy paper pad to approx. 3 ¾” x 5”.

Distress the edges with a distressing tool (or the edge of your scissors). 

De-static the area below the ornaments and the upper right area on the truck scene with an embossing powder tool.

Ink the sentiment from the Jesus stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, ink the text block image from the Jesus stamp set with tumbled glass distress oxide ink, stamp over the background on the truck scene.

Mount the truck scene onto dark green cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of 4 ¼” x 5 ½” red cardstock and adhere to a white card base. 

Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the snow to finish off the truck scene card.

For the ornament card, die cut a piece of white cardstock with the Tim Holtz Crochet Dies.

Adhere the paper lace strip to the ornament panel, add a strip of dark green cardstock over the top of the “lace” and trim off the ends.

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

Use a clear glitter marker to add shimmer to the stars and ornaments to finish off the card.

Easy to create and flat for mailing! I hope I have inspired you to create a few Christmas cards this week!
