Christmas Card idea using Stampin' Up! Sweetest TIme Stamp Set

 

  • Stampin' Up! Sweetest Time Stamp Set
  • Sweetest Borders Dies
  • Join Stampin' Up! as a Demonstrator for discounts on your craft purchases


I'm using the Sweetest Time Stamp Set again today, along with the coordinating Sweetest Border Dies.  I decided to make a monochromatic card using Coastal Cabana, Shaded Spruce, and Mint Macaron.  I used the North Pole Wonder Dies to create the sentiment.  The Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems include a collection of green-hued gems that were perfect accents for this card.   

Christmas Card Idea using Stampin' Up! Sweetest Time Stamp Set




The basecard for this card is Coastal Cabana.  Then a layer of Shaded Spruce.  And then a layer of Whisper White brushed with very watered down Shaded Spruce ink using Water Painters.  To get it the shade I wanted, I used my brush to pick up some ink directly from the Shaded Spruce Stamp pad and I put it on a clear block, adding water from my Water Painter until it reached the light shade I wanted for my background.  I lightly brushed it onto the Whisper White card stock.  Tip:  Avoid going over and over your Whisper White card stock as it will begin to pill.  (Ask me how I know...😏). To avoid pilling, you could use Fluid 100 Water Color paper, but I like our Whisper White, which I find to be just a shade whiter than our Fluid 100 water color paper.

I stamped the candle images using Coastal Cabana ink onto Coastal Cabana cardstock.  I fussy cut two of the candles to use on my card.  The candle stamp has three candles, so you'll have an extra to use on another card. Then I used the largest die from the Sweetest Border Dies to create the greenery out of Mint Macaron cardstock. I also created extra leaves and sprigs using dies from the Sweetest Borders Dies and Shaded Spruce cardstock. 

Christmas Card Idea using Stampin' Up! Sweetest Time Stamp Set



I selected the circle and stitched scallop dies from the North Pole Wonder Dies and cut a plain circle out of Whisper White for the sentiment, and cut a stitched scallop boarder out of Shaded Spruce cardstock.  Then I layered all of the elements onto the card front.  The sentiment is mounted on Dimensionals, while the remaining elements are adhered flat to the Whisper White card front.    I added 3 gems from the Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems pack.  Half of the package are gems with a green and gold hue, which worked perfectly with this card.

Another Elegant Christmas Card to get your creative juices going

  • Stampin' Up! Sweetest Time Stamp Set
  • Sweetest Borders Dies
  • Joy To The World October Paper Pumpkin Monthly Kit


I seem to be on a Vanilla and Gold Foil kick lately.  Today's card continues in that same direction using the Stampin' Up! Sweetest Time Stamp Set and coordinating Sweetest Borders Dies.  I also used two dies from the Ornate Layers Dies plus Gold Embossed the candles and one of the sentiments from the Sweetest Time Stamp Set to create this simple, yet elegant Christmas Card. d.  I know its only September, but every year the holiday's seem to creep up on me--and with Stampin' Up! On Stage@Home in early November plus Thanksgiving with family, I'm sure the days close to Christmas will be as full as usual. 



Gold Foil and Gold Embossed Christmas Card using Sweetest Time Stamp Set



The basecard for this card is Thick Very Vanilla Cardstock.  Then a layer of Very Vanilla.  Then I cut a layer using one of the Ornate Layer Dies.  I took an exacto knife as I wanted my candles stamped on the lower layer.

  
Christmas Card idea using an ornate border around 3 Gold Embossed Striped Candles




I stamped the candle images using Versamark ink, covered them with Gold Stampin' emboss Powder and set them with a heat tool.   I did the same with the sentiment I selected from the Sweetest Time Stamp Set.  I die cut a stitched rectangle using one of the dies from the Ornate Layers Dies.  Again, stamping it in Versamark, and Gold Embossing it.  I did make the rectangle a little narrower than the die so that more of the Gold Foil die cut showed. 

Sophisticated Christmas Cards using ornate die cut borders and gold foil die cuts and embossed images




I die cut the leaves using the largest die in the Sweetest Border Dies set.  It is meant to be used a little differently, but I snipped a few elements to make it a stand-alone set of leaves and sprigs.  I used a few left-over elemets from the dies to add extra sprigs, and loved how it turned out.  I debated about adding pearls, a ribbon or additional embellishments, but decided I liked the simplicity of the card and left it plain.
