Christmas Card

Hi everyone!

Here is another idea for creating your own Christmas cards using stampin up products.

Firstly, to make this Christmas card, make a card base with whisper white thick cardstock. Use the paper trimmer to make a rectangle slightly smaller than the card with real red cardstock. Emboss the red rectangle with the brick embossing folder through the big shot.

Cut a window frame with whisper white cardstock using the hearth and home framelits. Also cut a Christmas tree using the perfect pines framelits and Christmas Designer paper series. Cut a rectangle to fit behind the window frame. I have used silver foil card stock but you can use other colours to match your theme.

Stamp a greeting from the oh, what fun stamp set on whisper white cardstock. Use the tags and labels framelits to cut out the greeting and make a slightly larger cutout using the Christmas Designer paper.

Assemble the card as per the photo using tear and tape adhesive tape. Finish the card by tying candy cane lane baker's twine around the card and making a bow.

Another great idea is the stampin up Stitched With Cheer Project Kit. It's an easy way to make lovely Christmas cards quickly and easily. This is also a great kit to get kids started on making cards. The kit coordinates with the Stitched With Cheer stamp set.

Christmas will be here before we know it so it's time to start preparing to make Christmas cards and gift tags.

The stampin up perfect pines framelits are great for many different projects.

Repeat this process using the Christmas Designer paper series.

Cut a Christmas tree from the perfect pines framelits out of the Christmas Designer paper series using the big shot. Use foam tape to attach Christmad tree to 1 of the gifts tags. Use tear and tape to attach the Christmas tree cut out to the other gift tag.

Tie a bow with the white ribbon and glue to the top of the Christmas tree. Use candy cane twine to attach to each gift tag.

Another great idea is the stampin up Tin of Tags Project Kit. It's an easy way to make lovely gift tags quickly and easily. This is also a great kit to get kids started on making gift tags. The kit coordinates with the Tin of Tags stamp set.

Wipe the navy card with your embossing buddy. Stamp the 'happy birthday' greeting from the 'Crazy About You' stamp set with versamark at the bottom of the navy card. Cover the greeting with white embossing powder and heat with the stampin up heat tool until glossy.

Cut a large rectangle and a small strip of the Floral Boutique Designer Paper Series (blue/white stripe). Cut a larger strip of real red cardstock.

Stamp 2 dinosaurs in marina mist, and 1 dinosaur in night of navy, on whisper white cardstock. Stamp the bones in night of navy over 1 marina mist dinosaur.

Baby Shower Card

Firstly, to make the baby shower card, use the whisper white thick cardstock to make the card base. Then use the mint macaron cardstock to make a rectangle slightly smaller than the card. Followed by a smaller rectangle using night of navy cardstock.

Use the embossing buddy to clean the area of the card where the greeting will be stamped. Generously cover the 'congrats' stamp from the Cottage Greetings stamp set with versamark ink. Apply the stamp to the bottom of the mint macaron card. Cover with white embossing powder and then remove excess powder. Use heat tool to heat the embossing powder until it changes to a shiny liquid and rises.

Use the umbrella weather framelits to cut out the umbrella from the blooms and bliss designer series paper. Also cut a strip of the paper using the paper trimmer.

Using the tear and tape adhesive, assemble the card.

Bicycle Birthday Card

This is my first card using the schoolhouse designer paper series. I love the bright colours and I can't wait to try out all the other papers. I think the bicycles are super cute so that's what I've based my card around. I have used pool party for my cardstock which contrasts with the rest of the card. I have used the big shot to emboss the brick wall onto the tangerine tango cardstock which gives the card lovely texture. I used the greeting from the big news stamp set and this is framed with the polkadot paper from the schoolhouse designer paper series. I added the bicycles with a banner effect using scissors. To finish off, I used coastal cabana twine across the brick wall as a nice finishing touch.

All the products I used are from Stampin Up and are listed below. I have also included the weekly deals and clearance specials. There is currently a special, which if you spend over $90, you can select a free item from the sale-a-bration catalogue.
