Curvy Celebrations for Christmas Cards using the new Quite Curvy Bundle

Stampin' Up! Curvy Christmas Stamp Set
Stamping Up! Quite Curvy Variety Bundle
Customers orders for Quite Curvy begins 3 November 2020

With the Holiday's right around the corner, its time to look over your craft stash to make sure you have the seasonal stamps and products you'll need for creating your special messages to those you love. Beginning tomorrow, you can order the new Curvy Celebrations collection -- two different stamp sets, dies, and designer series papers. This collection is a preview bundle from the upcoming 2021 January - May mini catalog, which means it includes stamps, sentiments, dies and paper that will work for holidays now as well as sentiments that will work into Valentines Day, birthdays and Spring Celebrations. I'm using the Curvy Christmas Set with the Curvy Dies and Metallic Mesh Ribbon. I chose a sparkly Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper and a Metallic Mesh Ribbon, which is beautiful in person but oh, so difficult to photograph.

The basecard for this card is Pool Party. Then a layer of Shaded Spruce, and then a layer of Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper die cut using the Curvy Dies. I added a layer of whisper White under the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper where I stamped the images.

I used two of the stamps form the Curvy Christmas set to stamp images on the Whisper White portion of the card front. The images are stamped in Shaded Spruce ink. This is a photopolymer stamp set, which means you can "bend" the stamp set to follow the curves of your paper. It took a little practice to get the positioning of the stamp sets correct so that it followed the curves in the paper.

To add even more bling to the card front, I created a triple bow from the Metallic Mesh Ribbon, and hung a Glitter Star Ornament from the center of the ribbon. See a close-up of the bow above. I'm going to try to take more photos of this tomorrow in natural light to see if its possible to get a better photo to show off this lovely bow.

One More Deer Christmas Card usign Stampin' Up! North Pole Wonders Dies

North Pole Wonder Dies
Stampin' Up! Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set
Joy To The World October Paper Pumpkin Kit - Order by October 10

I love cards that twinkle and glow. Today's card is filled with Gold Foil Die cuts paired with rich, warm Cherry Cobbler Cardstock dry embossed with Woodland Embossing Folder. The Stampin' Up! North Pole Wonders Dies were used to die cut the Deer and foliage from Gold Foil Sheets. The Stitched Shapes Dies cut the oval shapes from Regals 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper. Gold 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon was colored with Chery Cobbler Stampin' Blends to match the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock.

The basecard for this card is Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Then a layer of Whisper White. The image layer is another Cherry Cobbler layer dry embossed using the Woodland Embossing Folder and the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

Cherry Cobbler and Gold Foil Deer Christmas Cards

I used the Stitched Shapes Dies to die cut an oval from Regals 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper. I used the North Pole Wonder Dies to die cut Gold Foil Sheets deer and foliage. I also used one of the circles from the Wishes & Wonder Bundle to create the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Ink.

To add a little bling, I used Chery Cobbler Stampin' Blends to color Gold 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon so it would match the card. Then I added a Gold Gilded Gem to the edge of the sentiment circle.

I can't seem to stop playing with the Wishes & Wonder Bundle. Just when I think I've created everything I can with this bundle, I come up with another idea for using the deer die from the North Pole Wonder Dies. You'll enjoy creating your own unique cards using elements from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog or the August - December 2020 Mini catalog.
