Merry Christmas Snowflakes

Christmas in Black & White, Gold & Silver


This season, the Holiday catalog is full of Black and White, Gold and Silver.  I've always loved the beauty of simple black and white cards,.  This year, the Stampin' Up! papers and embellishments make it easy to create wonderful, striking holiday cards with these simple color combinations.  Our ribbons, die cuts and punches add just the right touches to ensure your cards let your loved ones know just how much you care.

  



Just look at all the details on this card!  Metallic silver and gold snowflakes from the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Snowflakes from the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlit Dies as well as the black swirl at the bottom of the sentiment.  Then the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set was stamped and then punched using the Everyday Label Punch from the Holiday catalog.  

The white layer under the snowflakes is dry embossed with the Holly Textured Impression Embossing Folder.  


The base card for my card is Thick Whisper White cardstock.  The next layer is Basic Black.  The metallic silver and gold snowflakes embedded in the specialty paper make this card special.  You really can't get the full effect of this card until you hold it in your hands and let the light play on it.







The embellishments in addition to the die cut Basic Black snowflakes, include 3/8" Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon from the Annual Catalog and the Black Rhinestone Jewels from the Holiday catalog.  The sentiment punched with the Everyday Label Punch is popped up on dimensionals with the edge of the die cut swirl attached to the dimensionals on the back side of the label.  I'm so pleased with the look of this card.   

A couple of tips:  You'll definitely want to use your Big Shot Die Brush to quickly get the small chads to release from your Snowflakes.  The other tool you'll find very useful in adding glue to your snowflakes is the silicone craft sheet.  You'll love how fast you can add glue to your snowflakes when laid on your silicone sheet first.

Be Merry Christmas Card with Santa's deer

Be Merry Christmas Card from Stampin' Up!


I love how our new stamp sets work with our carry over sets from previous years stretching our investment in our stamp set and supplies.   Today I mixed die cuts from the Santa Sleigh set with the new Snowflake Sentiments set.  My Designer Series Paper choice is the Be Merry Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog.  It coordinates with Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green cardstock.

  
Santa's Sleigh creates this cute deer



This simple Christmas card also uses the deer die cut from the Santa's Sleigh stamp set and the coordinating Santa's Sleigh Thinlit Dies.  As I worked on a swap card due this week, my desk became cluttered with die cuts and ribbon ends.  I love looking down at this pile of deer die cuts.  The expression on the the deer is perfect, in my opinion -- such confidence and calm!  I enjoy the messy process before we get to our final cards.




The base card for my card is Basic Black cardstock.  The next layer is two designs from the Be Merry Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog.  Then I stamped one of the sentiments and the three snowflakes from the Snowflake Sentiments set from the Holiday Catalog  onto a circle punched with the Stitched Shapes framelits.  The Merry Christmas is stamped in Cherry Cobbler and the three snowflakes are stamped in Garden Green.  I cut the "from our family to yours" off my "Merry Christmas" stamp as I wanted to make stamping the Merry Christmas as clean as possible.  This also allows me to stamp the "from our family to yours" in another color more easily, when I choose to use it.



Be Merry Designer Series Papers comoplete this card



The deer die cut is popped up on dimensionals, and the ribbon and bow are made from the 3/8" Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon.  If you have a large number of Christmas cards to make for your list of friends and family and you don't have much time, this card design will help you create a meaningful hand made card quickly for those you love.
