Merry Music Designer Series Paper


Continuing my series of Black and White Christmas Cards, today I'm using the Merry Music Designer Series Papers.  All of the papers in this pack are Black and White.  They are also a lightweight paper printed with traditional Christmas Carols.  Instead of two sheets per design, like most of the Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers, This lightweight paper includes 4 sheets of 6 double sided designed.  That's 24 sheets verses most of our Designer Series Papers, with only 12 sheets. If you're looking for an economical designer paper for your 2017 Christmas Cards, Merry Music is the perfect choice.    
  
  



To add a bit of Christmas cheer to the basic black and white paper card, I added small pops of Real Red accents.  The basecard is Basic Black, then a Whisper White Layer, and then the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

 I added an Silver Foil Snowflake, and then a Real Red and Whisper White banner.  



I used the Snowflakes Sentiments and stamped the sentiment in Real Red.  The Basic Black Archival boarder was created using the Labels to Love Stamp Set and then punched with the coordinating Everyday Label Punch from the Holiday catalog.

 I added additional red accent with a small ribbon bow using the 1/8" Real Red Ribbon, a Real Red Snowflake created with one of the snowflake dies from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits, and the added clear Faceted Gems to each end of the Red and White banner.     
     

           


Take a look at the striking black and white music designs included in the Merry Music Designer Series Paper pack from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.

Merry Little Christmas Cards from Stamping Up

  • Christmas Cards with Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up!
  • Card & Treat Class this week end - Oct 15
  • Fast Fuse sold out on World Card Day promo; but coming back
  • October Specials will save you money on your Holiday wish list

Merry Little Christmas Suite makes beautiful cards


Old Olive sprigs add a holiday feel to a Black and White Christmas Card.  I'm loving the Designer Series Papers in the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Pack.  Today I chose two I haven't used previously to show you more items from this Christmas Suite from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  Today's card captures the shimmer of Christmas perfectly.  Also, a quick reminder that some of your favorite Designer Series Paper Packs are on sale this month.  Buy 3 and get 1 free.  
  
  
Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Papers from Stampin' Up!



The basecard is Thick Whisper White,  Then a layer of the Black & White Checks from the Merry Little Christmas Suite.  There is an oval cut from a star pattern from Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Papers pack and it is matted with a layer of Silver Foil.  The Oval is accented with three Silver Glimmer trees cut with the Card Front Builder Thinlits.  That same set of dies include the tiny deer, which was cut from Silver Foil.



Then I cut several pine sprigs from Old Olive using the Pretty Pines Thinlit and layered four of them under the sentiment.



      


The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Labels stamp set.  It is stamped in Basic Black Archival and punched using the Classic Label Punch.  I didn't order this punch when it first came out a while back, but once I got it, I find it is one of my most-used punches.  You can't beat Teeny Tiny Wishes as an all-around sentiment stamp set, and the Classic Label Punch is a perfect compliment for the enormous number of sentiments in this set. 

 While I purchase clear mount stamps for most of my stamp purchases, I own Teeny Tiny Wishes in a wood- mounted set because of its heavy use, and due to the small size of many of the sentiments.  I'm a messy stamper with several projects on my work table at the same time. Small, clear-mount stamps have been known to be lost for days buried under project debris or clinging to stamp cases strewn among the clutter.       




In this photo I included one of the new mini pizza boxes decorated with pieces from the Year of Cheer suite, a silver foil snowflake, and matted in Basic Black.  I used the backside of one of the Foil Snowflakes and sponged it with Basic Black.  I think it works perfectly with the large number of Black and White Designer Series Papers we have this year.    


Take a look at some additional ideas for using the Merry Little Christmas suite from the Holiday Catalog.
