Christmas: When Presence of Family is better than Presents from Family

                  

  • Stampin' Up! Defined Stamp Set
  • Christmas Pinecone Dies & Encircled in Beauty Dies
  • Select Penguin Playmates 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper as a Free Sale-A-Bration selection with $50 order

I've been playing with this card the past few day... not really sure how to complete it; not really sure if I liked it.  In the end, I decided to leave it up to you.  How would you feel if you received this Christmas Card from a friend?  I like the individual elements  such as the Christmas Pine Cone Die Cuts and the stamped image from the Well Defined Stamp Set with the Encircled In Beauty Die cut from Fresh Freesia Velum.  These we left over die cuts I had decided not to use on another project, but they seems to come together quite well.  I loved the Blackberry Bliss Striped Bow and the  Pastel Pearls.  I enjoy playing with different elements from the Stampin' Up! product line, because they work so well together.  It makes the investment very worth while. And a quick reminder:   Until 30 September, for each $50 or $100 order you place (less tax and shipping), you'll earn FREE Sale-A-Bration selections.

Handmade Christmas Card with pine sprig die cuts and Christmas definition


The basecard for this card is Thick Basic White Cardstock.  Then Die Cuts using the Christmas Pinecone Dies.  One layer of Fresh Freesia and the other layer of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock.  Tip:  I backed the Blackberry Bliss layer with Adhesive Sheets before die cutting, making it very easy to adhere the resulting large layer on top of the Fresh Freesia die cut.    

Handmade Holiday Card using Stampin' Up! Christmas Pinecne Dies


For the image layer, I used Basic White Cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from the Well Defined Stamp Set in Fresh Freesia Ink onto a die cut circle. Then I die cut a detailed circle frame using the Encircled in Beauty dies.  I cut it from Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum.  I added Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment before adding it to the front of the card.

To add a little more interest to the card, I added a bow out of Striped Blackberry Bliss ribbon (retired), and a few Pastel Pearls.   

The Well Define Stamp Set includes sentiments for several Holidays, including Christmas, Halloween, as well as several general sentiments, including a definition of winter, gratitude and holiday. Its a fun addition to your more traditional sentiments stamps.  

Last we, we received a heads up that suppliers both in the US and China that supply SU products are running behind, with low inventory on several ink pad colors and a few holiday catalog items already in shot supply. Order now so you aren't disappointed later.
