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.

Snow Globe Gift Card Holder using Still Scenes Bundle

  • Stampin' Up! Still Scenes Bundle
  • Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Stampin' Up! OnLine Extravaganza End Tomorrow - Nov 22, 2019

Snow Globe Scenes Gift Card Holder

Today's project is a Snow Globe Scene using the Still Scenes Bundle and the silver foil side of the Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper. Inside is a pocket to hold a gift card.   The shaker dome houses a white church, silver foil trees and Snowflake Sequins.  small candy holder with a gift card or business card slot, using Stampin' Up! Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper.  As always, the photo doesn't capture the silver foil adequately.  I may try more photos tomorrow when I can photograph this gift card holder in natural light.             
  





Here's what I used to create these:  
The basecard is Night of Navy and it is a standard 11" X 4-1/4" basecard.  It is scored at 5-1/2" and 1-1/2".  The 1-1/2" fold creates a pocket on the inside of the card that holds the gift card...a nice surprise in a lovely card! 

The left side of the card front includes a layer of Silver Foil: 4 X 3-3/4", and on the right side, the Silver Foil Layer is 1-1/4" X 4".  
The Feels Like Frost 6" X 6"  Specialty Designer Series Paper Layer on the left side is 3-3/4" x 3-1/2; and it is 1" X 3-3/4" on the right side. 

The Snow Globe Scene Dies were used to create the scene in the Snow Globe Shaker Dome.  The dome is filled with Snowflake Sequins. .. well, not filled.  More like a couple of pinches.

The church is backed with Gold Foil Sheets to make it look like there are lights in the windows.  The trees are Silver Foil Sheets.   The bow is 3/8" Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon.  The sentiment includes a Clear Droplet from the Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets.





Inside:
The sentiment layers:
Silver Foil Sheets:  5-1/4 X 4"
Whisper White:  5" X 3-3/4"

Left and right sides:
Silver Foil Sheets:  1-1/4 X 4" (2 pieces)
Feels Like Frost:  1" X 3-3/4" (2 pieces) 

I used a strip of Tear & Tape to hold down the edges of the pocket holding the gift card.    

  



  
The sentiments are from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set, stamped on a strip of Whisper white.  This is another fun card using the Snow Globe Shaker Domes.  I CASED it from Peanuts and Peppers Papercrafting blog.  This is a great card to use with any Designer Series Papers and for many occasions because of the multiple elements you can use to create different scenes included in the Still Scenes Bundle.  You'll love everything you make with it.

  • Stamps:  Itty Bitty Christmas(Sentiment), So Many Stars (Sentiment accent)
