Traditions Of St. Nick Card

 Traditions Of St. Nick Card

I just love how this card came together. I added very little in the way of embellishments to it, I just wanted the Designer Series Paper to be the star of this card!

Isn't the Traditions Of St. Nick Designer Series Paper gorgeous! 

Directions: 

Cut a piece of Pebbled Path Card Stock to 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".

Cut a piece of Traditions Of St. Nick DSP to 4" x 5 1/4" and attach it to the card front.

Using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, cut 1 from Cherry Cobbler C/S and using the next size down, die cut 1 of the Traditions Of St. Nick images. *Tip: I used my Paper Snips to cut out the St. Nick images first then I die them. I wanted to get as many St. Nicks cut out of the sheet of DSP as possible. Attach these two together then attach to the card base.

Punch out 1 Basic White C/S oval and 1 Gold Foil scalloped oval using the Double Oval Punch. Stamp a sentiment onto the Basic White oval using Memento Black Ink then attach it to the Gold Foil oval.

Add some Stampin' Seal Adhesive or Tear And Tape to the corner of the card, loop some ribbon back and forth over the adhesive. (This helps to keep it in place) Add a few Dimensionals to the sentiment oval and attach it over top of the ribbon.

Card Inside:

I used a strip of the Traditions Of St. Nick DSP at the bottom  then I glued a  3 3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White C/S over top. I die cut a Gold Foil ribbon using the Country Wreaths Dies and attach it to the inside. (I used a retired Shimmer Gold Paper for the bow, but Gold Foil would be just as lovely!)

Don't forget to decorate your envelope to match too!  

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Now, onto todays card!

I used the beautiful Traditions Of St. Nick Designer Series Paper to be my focus. I simply fussy cut out one of the St. Nick image from the DSP, added a few Deckled Circle Dies and some dry embossing then I finished it up with some bling.

Directions:

Cut a card base of Cherry Cobbler Card Stock, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".

Cut a piece of Mossy Meadow C/S to 3 3/4" x 5" and a piece of the Traditions Of St. Nick Designer Series Paper to 3 1/2" x 4 3/4". I used a piece that has musical notes on it. Glue these two pieces together and emboss using the Stars At Night Embossing Folder then attach to the card base. 

Die cut one Cherry Cobbler C/S and one Very Vanilla C/S circle using the Deckled Circle Dies. The sizes I used are 

2 7/16" and 2 3/4". Glue these two circles together then attach them to the card front. Splatter Wink Of Stella all over the card front.

Take some of the Gold Cord from the Simply Elegant Trim and attach it to the Very Vanilla circle in a circular pattern. I put down some Tear And Tape onto the circle and this holds the cord in place.

Fussy cut out one of the St. Nick images from the Traditions Of St. Nick DSP. Attach it over the gold cord using Dimensionals. 

Stamp the sentiment using Cherry Cobbler Ink onto a long strip of Very Vanilla C/S. Cut apart and add to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Add some Gold metallic Pearls. 

For the inside:

Cut a 3 1/2" x 5" piece of Very Vanilla C/S glue a thin strip of Cherry Cobbler C/S to it and a strip of the Traditions Of St. Nick DSP. I splattered the inside with Wink Of Stella as well. 

Don't forget to decorate the envelope!

Thank you for stopping by today! 

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Stars At Night Card

 Stars At Night Card

The Night Of Navy Card Stock, Night Of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon and Gold Adhesive Backed Star Trinkets make this card so beautiful! It is a very simple layout that can be used over and over. Change up the colours and the Designer Series Paper and every card will be so different and amazing!

Directions:

Cut a piece of Night Of Navy Card Stock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".

Using Night Of Navy Ink, stamp the card front with the  "fireworks burst stamp".

Cut a 5 1/2" x 1 3/4" piece of the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper. I used a piece that was very light. Then cut a piece of the DSP at 5 1/2" x 1" that is darker. Attach them together then attach them to the card front. 

Cut another piece of the lighter DSP to 4 1/2" x 3/8" and stamp the sentiment using Night Of Navy Ink. Flag cut one end. Set aside.

Punch or die cut out a large circle from Basic White C/S. 

Using Misty Moonlight Ink, stamp the "starburst" onto the Basic White C/S circle.

Cut a piece of the Night Of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon, fold it in half and attach it behind the circle. Attach the circle to the card front using Dimensionals.

Attach the sentiment strip to the card front. *Tip: Use Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue for the portion of the strip that will attach to the circle and Mini Dimensionals for the rest. 

Add some of the Adhesive Backed Star Trinkets to finish off the card front. 

I didn't do it but a nice splatter of Wink Of Stella would be really pretty too!

For the inside I cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 5" x 3 3/4" and I stamped the same "starburst" using second generation Misty Moonlight Ink. *Tip: for a softer look and to utilize your stamp pads to the fullest, ink up a stamp, stamp off on scrap paper, then stamp onto your project. This gives you a lighter tone. Stamping off 1X is second generation, stamping off 2x's is third generation. Have fun playing around to see all the different looks you can achieve.
