Musical Season Stamp from Stampin' Up! makes great Christmas Cards

More Merry Music Designer Series Paper


Here another in my Black and White Christmas Card series.  Today I'm using the Musical Season Stamp set along with the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Papers.  As I said yesterday, all of the papers in this pack are Black and White.  They look great with a hint of color, like Real Red.   These papers are a lightweight paper printed with traditional Christmas Carols, which means its perfect for holiday wrapping or easy to work with if making paper rosette.   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. Perfect for making large quantities of Christmas Cards economically.    
  
  



The basecard is Thick Whisper White, then a Real Red layer, and then the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

I used the  Musical Season Stamps and coordinating die bundle to create the little drummer and the musical clef in Basic Black.  The little drummer is a stamped image and then die cut.   The little drummer is popped up on dimensionals and mini dimensionals.  The clef is die cut out of Basic Black cardstock.    


Musical Season stamp set and coordinating dies



I used the Layering Ovals Framelits to cut a thin frame out of Real Red.  to frame the little drummer.  The Peace-Joy-Love sentiment is also from the Musical Season stamp set.  Snowflakes Sentiments and stamped the sentiment in Real Red.  

I added the Stripped ribbon as an accent to the top of the card. The Striped Ribbon is a wired ribbon and holds it shape very well.   This is a wonderfully fast card to make.      


     




If you missed yesterday's post, here's another look at the striking black and white music designs included in the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper pack from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.

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.
