Merry Christmas

This is our 2nd card of our 4 cards we will be creating in Crafty Creations over 4 weeks.  003blog

I saw this card on Pinterest & thought it was perfect to use the now retired Stamp Set – Ornament Keepsakes & the matching Framelits – Holiday Ornaments.  All I did was use the now retired DSP – Season of Style.  In fact I have used a couple of other retired products, including Lacy Brocade EF & Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon. 

Thank you Jennifer for your lovely inspiration.

As Crafty Creations is my volunteer class it is a great way to use up some of my stash of DSP & my favourite retired stamp sets.

Check back next Friday for our 3rd card.

Until next time, Happy Stampin!

Our current challenge over at Sunny Challenges & Creations is to create something using the fantastic “Framelits” from Stampin’ Up!

I decided to create a Christmas Card for this challenge.  I am in the process of creating these cards for my next market coming up first Sunday in November, so this was the perfect opportunity for me.

Truth be told, I didn’t really know where I was going with this card, but knew that I wanted to use the “Ornament Keepsakes” with the dotty DSP from “Season of Style” which is in the current “Holiday Catalogue“.  Of course I had to used my favourite EF – Perfect Polka Dots!

    Our stamp set this month is the great Christmas set which has been carried over –

    This month, we have showcased the gorgeous new DSP – Season of Style – which is in the Seasonal Catalogue.  The kit is very tradition Christmas colours.  The new Embossing Folder – Stylish Stripes is also showcased in this set of cards.  In fact one of the cards has a small surprise inside, but shhhhhhhhhhhh if I tell you what it is then it won’t be a surprise!

    It was my turn to create the challenge this week over at Sunny Challenges & Creations & thought seeing as though it is now July – a Christmas Challenge would be in order.  Along with the sketch, we had to create a card, 3-D item or scrapbook page.

    I don’t know if you have noticed in the new catalogue that there are NO Christmas/Holiday Stamp Sets or Accessories, BUT there is the Carry Over List from the Autumn/Winter Catalogue.  In saying that, there is no reason as to why you could not use a retired Stamp Set to create your card or even a non-traditional stamp set!!!! You may surprise yourself with what you can come up with!

    For those that know me, I tend to steer away from traditional Christmas Colours & like to go more with non-traditional colours, as in today’s card – Very Vanilla, Soft Suede & Pink Pirouette.  I love these colours together & not just for Christmas.  Of course, how could I not create a card without using my favourite Embossing Folder – Perfect Polka Dots!

    Supplies –
    Stamp Set Ornament Keepsakes – 128051, Petite Pairs – 122497
    Ink  Pink Pirouette – 126956
    Cardstock  Very Vanilla – 106550, Soft Suede – 119982
    Framelits  Holiday Ornaments – 127816
    Punches  Large Oval – 119855, Scallop Oval – 119856
    Embossing Folder – Perfect Polka Dots – 117335
    Accessories  Big Shot – 113439, Snail Adhesives – 104332, Multipurpose Liquid Glue – 110755, Stampin’ Dimensionals – 104430, Rhinestone Basic Jewels – 119246, Stampin’ Write Marker – Neutrals – Soft Suede – 131261

     

    Don’t forget to pop on over to Sunny Challenges & Creations to check out what lovely cards the Design Team – Kris & Libby – have created.

    We would really love for you to join us as we love seeing what everyone creates, but more importantly love leaving you all comments.

    Gwen has set us a great challenge this week over at Sunny Challenges & Creations – Sketch Only!  As I am a little low on Christmas Cards, I thought this would be the perfect challenge to create yet another.  I have most of mine written out & ready to go, but there is always that last 1 or 2 that you need….  I also decided to create it using my favourite Christmas Colours this year.  I am a bit of a non-traditionalist when it comes to Christmas Colours.

    Measurements –
    Base Card – Pink Pirouette – 8 1/4″ x 5 7/8″ or 21cm x 15cm
    Layer 1 – Whisper White – 3 7/8″ x 5 5/8″ or 14cm x 10cm
    Layer 2 – Rich Razzleberry –  3 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ or 13.5cm x 9.5cm
    Layer 3 x  3 – Silver Glitter Paper – 4 1/8″ x 7/8″
    Layer 4 – Pink Pirouette – 3 1/2″ x 2 1/4″ or 9cm x 5.5cm
    Layer 5 – Silver Glitter Paper – 3 1/4″ x 2″ or 8cm x 4.5cm

    Supplies –

    Stamp Set – Ornament Keepsakes
    Ink – Rich Razzleberry
    Cardstock – Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Pink Pirouette
    Embossing Folder – Perfect Polka Dots
    Framelits – Holiday Ornaments
    Punches – Corner Rounder
    Accessories – Snail Ashesive, SU! Dimensionals, Sticky Strip, Rhinestones
    Non-SU – Silver Cord

    My card was basically created from 3 pieces of Silver Glitter Paper that I found – all perfectly cut to size.  I trimmed the corners of each end, adhered all 3 pieces to the piece of Rich Razzleberry Cardstock with Snail Adhesive prior to running through the Big Shot using Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  I do not know what I will ever do if Stampin’ Up! ever decided to retire this folder as it is my favourite & use it on most of my projects!

    This piece was then adhered to the piece of Whisper White Cardstock & then finally to the Base Card – Pink Pirouette with Snail Adhesive.

    I stamped the image onto a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock in Rich Razzleberry Ink, ran it through the Big Shot with the matching Framelit Die.  Prior to adhering it to the small piece of Sliver Glitter Paper, I adhered a small piece of Silver Cord to the top so that it looked a little like it was going to hang.  I then applied Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the cut out ornament & added small pieces of Sticky Strip to the tops of the Dimensionals.  I’ve found when using the Glitter Paper, the Sticky Strip adheres a little better to the top of the Paper.

    The whole piece was then adhered to the small piece of Pink Pirouette Cardstock with Snail Adhesive prior to adhering to the card.  Again I placed SU! Dimensionals to the back, added small pieces of Sticky Strip priro to adhering to the top of the Glitter Paper.

    To finish the card off, I placed a Rhinestone to the centre of the ornament & 3 along the bottom right hand corner.

     

    We hope you will have time to join us this week for our challenge.  We all love comments on our blog & as we love leaving comments, this would be perfect to play along.  Why not head over to Sunny Challenges & Creations to check out what Kris, Gwen, Vicki & Carole have created.  Create your card, link to an on-line forum, group or your blog & then link with Mr Linky.

    Until next time, Happy Stampin’
