A Christmas Card in Non-traditional colors using Stampin' Up! Perfectly Plaid

                 

  • Stampin' Up! Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set
  • January 2021 Mini Catalog Sneak Peek DSP
  • Sending Hearts January Paper Pumpkin Kit - Order by 10 January 2021
I'm ashamed to admit it.  I'm still working on Christmas Cards.  It seems like no matter how many I make, I just want to make one or two more so I can use my favorite stamp sets and dies before the end of the Holiday season.  Today I'm playing with the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set, again.  I decided to use non-traditional colors and one of the new FREE Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Papers, called Oh So Ombre, which is available to Demonstrators in December, and will be a Free Sale-A-Bration Selection to customers January 5.  I also wanted to use some of the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon, which I haven't played with enough.  I used my Rococo Rose Stampin' Blends to color it to match the rest of my card.  And I love that the ribbon retained its holiday sparkle and shine, even when colored with alcohol markers.                 


Non-Traditional colors on a Christmas Card using Stmapin' Up! Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set



The card above uses a basecard of Rococo Rose Cardstock.  Then a layer of Whisper white, and another layer of Whisper White dry embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. Next I added a 1-1/2" strip of one of the upcoming Free Sale-A-Bration Selections, from the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper Package.  Then I used one of the scalloped Layering Ovals Dies to create an oval Rococo Rose layer.  I paired it with one of the Stitched Shapes Oval dies, which I dry embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

The image layer was stamped with one of the trees from Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set, using Versamark Ink on Rococo Rose Cardstock.  I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.  Then I used the Pine Tree Punch, to punch it out, and mounted it on Dimensionals before adding it to my card.

I die cut a label using one of the new dies from the upcoming Potted Succulents Dies, from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog.  I used one of the sentiments from the For Unto Us Stamp set and stamped the sentiment in Rococo Rose ink.  I mounted the sentiment on Dimentionals before adding it to the oval layer.  I used my Rococo Rose Stampin' Blends to color the Snowflake Splendor 1/4" Ribbon, and tied it in a bow on the front of the card.  For a final piece of blend, I added three of the Frosted Droplets from the Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets embellishment pack.  I love how fresh the non-traditional colors look on this card!

Deer Christmas Card Collection using Stampin' Up! Wishes & Wonder Bundle

                        

  • Stampin' Up! Wishes & Wonder Bundle
  • Christmas Cards using the Wishes & Wonder Stamp Set
  • Giant Year End Sale and Clearance Rack Sale Continues
I've show each of the cards I'm showing today in earlier posts, yet as I looked over the collection, I realized that this was a great way to show the versatility of the Wishes & Wonder Bundle from stampin' Up!  These cards all use the Wishes & Wonder Stamp Set and the North Pole Wonder Dies.  The common color theme is Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White and Smoky Slate, with Gold Foil Sheets used on a couple of cards.  So load your holiday sleigh with this fun bundle, and create some of these beautiful cards.    
           
Christmas Cards created with Stampin' Up! Wishes & Wonder Bundle


You'll find a link to the original post for each card, which shows the complete recipe for each card under the photo of each card.  You'll find the Wishes & Wonder Bundle available here .   Get it, now, before it retires at the end of this month.

This card uses the Borders Abound Stamp Set in addition to the North Pole Wonder Dies.  Click the link above for the recipe for all items used.  



This card uses a Gold Foil Sheet Deer and Blends markers were used to color the sleight and greenery.  The Designer Series Paper is from the Plaid Tidings 6' X 6" Designer Series Paper Pack. This card was originally posted on October 6, and you can find it here.  


I used a large amount of Gold Foil Die cuts on this card.  I love cards that twinkle and glow.  The ribbon on the card above is colored using Cherry Cobbler Blends.  Find the full recipe here.  


I think this is my favorite of the 6 cards.  I used one of the prints from the Regals 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper and created 3 additional deer in Smoky Slate cardstock.  The full recipe for this card is here.  


This card includes so many subtle details.  It includes an interesting Whisper White die cut from the Painted Labels Dies, and includes Silver Metallic Pearls.  The recipe for this card can be found here.   

https://www.stampedsophisticates.com/2020/09/another-stampin-up-wishes-wonder.html

The card above uses Square Vellum Doilies.  I wanted a Silver Doily rather than a white Doily, so I covered it with Silver Embossing Powder and heat set it with my heat tool.  I also added a whisper White die cut from the Christmas Layers Dies. Take a look at the post with complete details for this card here.

I love deer.  We've had a herd of deer in the woods behind our home for the past 25 years, yet we live 1 block off a main 3 lane road.  Our herd has thrived, with 5 (possibly 6) new babies over the summer.  Whenever Stampin' Up! produces a deer stamp set, I'm always first in line to grab one.  You can purchase this set during the Giant Year End sale here.  If you want to purchase the Dies alone, you'll love the big savings...This $31.00 USD set of dies is on sale at $21.70 USD. 

This is the perfect time of the year to create a Shopping list for someone you love to purchase your favorites using a Christmas Gift Certificate from me.  Wrap the Gift Certificate as a present under the tree, then, when Christmas arrives, and with your new January-June Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure in hand, order from me using the Gift Certificate your loved one purchased from me as a holiday gift for you.  Contact me if you need a gift certificate. Or order items directly from my Stampin' Up! site for current catalog items or sales items.
