Sparkly Winter Woods and Beautiful Boughs for Beautiful Holiday cards

  • Stampin' Up! Winter Woods
  • Beautiful Boughs Dies
  • Buffalo Checks for backgrounds

Sparkly Winter Woods with Beautiful Boughs

Today I pulled out Winter Woods again and paired it with Beautiful Boughs Dies in Gold Foil accents.  The background uses the Buffalo Check Background stamp.  I love that with this Background stamp I can create whatever color I need for my project without using Designer Series Paper.  The Gold foil accents, embossed Winter woods Tress, covered with Ice Stampin' Glitter sets just the right wintry feel for this time of year.              
  




The basecard is Thick Very Vanilla cardstock.  Then a layer of Soft Suede, then a layer of Very Vanilla stamped with the Buffalo Check Background stamp and Crumb Cake ink.   





To create the layer with the trees, I used a piece of Soft Suede, matted with Very Vanilla.  I used Sparkle Glimmer Paper to create a blanket of snow at the bottom of the trees.  The trees from Winter Woods Stamp Set were stamped in Versamark ink, covered with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heated with the Heat Tool until set.  Then I used glue and Ice Stampin' Glitter to add more shine and sparkle to the trees.

I  used dies from Detailed Deer and from Beautiful Boughs and cut elements from Gold Foil sheets to accent the sentiments and the top corner of the card.   



  
The sentiments are from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set, and the other from Country Home.  Both are stamped in Soft Suede ink on Whisper White backgrounds  The "So grateful..." sentiment is die cut using the labels from Frosted Bouquet.  The "Thinking of you..." sentiment is punched using the punch from the Darling Label Punch Box.  I hand cut the coordinating mat.

Plan your weekend now to stamp cards you know you'll need for the upcoming holidays.  Place your orders soon so you have the supplies you need to create beautiful handmade cards for those you love.  Add the Winter Woods stamp set and the Buffalo Checks Background Stamp to our supplies, along with Gold Foil Paper.  This is a great card to use for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years, depending on the sentiment you choose.    You'll love everything you make with with these stamp sets.

Stampin’ Up! Wrapped In Plaid Suite

  • Stampin' Up! Wrapped in Plaid Suite
  • Stampin’ Up Holiday Catalog Ordering begins Sept 4

Stampin' Up! Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set

The new Stampin’ Up! Catalog is just a couple weeks away from September 4th Ordering.  I still have so many new products to show you. Today I picked the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set from the Wrapped in Plaid Suite.  The Perfectly Plaid Bundle includes the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set and the coordinating Pine Tree Punch.   
Be sure to add this set to your Shopping List so you are ready with you order on September 4, 2019. 





I used a base card of Cherry Cobbler for today’s card.  Then a layer of Whisper White.  Then a layer of one of the prints from Wrapped in Plaid 6 X 6” Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

   
     



For the Whisper White image layer, I first used the Pine Tree Punch and pinched the tree so the Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper showed.  Then I used a sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set to Stamp Merry Christmas.  Then I selected a small image from the Woven Heritage Stamp Set as an accent.





The Cherry Cobbler 3/8” Diagonal Stripe Ribbon is also from the Holiday catalog. It’s part of the Night Before Christmas Suite on page 25 of the Holiday Catalog.  To finish the card I added a couple of Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets.  

Add this bundle to your Shopping List now while you're thinking about it. Why?  Because this was the most ordered bundle by demonstrators the first day Demonstrators could preorder from the Holiday catalog. So you’ll find lots of ideas using this set leading up to the holidays.

  • Ink:  Cherry Cobbler
  • Paper:  Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Wrapped In Plaid 6 X 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper
