Stars are Shining

This week’s product is the Stars are Shining bundle but today I’m just using the Stars are Shining stamp set.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Stars are Shining

I like to make clean and simple cards as you know, but that’s especially true when it’s Christmas cards. And I love heat embossing and it dresses up the cards and makes them more Christmassy.

Here I started by wiping my piece of Whisper White with my embossing buddy; the powder in it stops the embossing powder going where you don’t want it. Then I stamped the ornaments in versamark, sprinkled on gold embossing powder and heated. After that I did the strings; doing the sprinkling and heating in 2 parts made it easier. Firstly, it prevented smudging and secondly I could see better where to put the string.

This was then mounted on a piece of Poppy Parade and then adhered to a Very Vanilla card base. Finally the sentiment, from Stars are Shining was stamped in Poppy Parade.

I’ll be demonstrating this card plus 2 others using this bundle on my regular Facebook live on Sunday at 11am EDT. Come and join me and if you share my live, I’ll add you to my raffle.

Peaceful Place Specialty DSP

This week’s product is the rather gorgeous Peaceful Place Specialty DSP (156394, $15). It’s a specialty paper due to all the silver foil. It’s quite spectacular and I had a hard time selecting which 3 patterns to showcase this week.

This is a very simple card to make – the DSP is cut to 5 1/2 by 2 inches and glued to a white card base. Next stamp the tree from Evergreen Elegance in Evening Evergreen and then add the mat. After that add the layer to the card. After that you need to stamp the sentiment (from Poinsettias Petals), cut it out with Stitched Rectangle dies and then attach with dimensionals. Finally you need to add a few basic rhinestones.

I showed this card plus 2 others at my Facebook live earlier today. I also copied it to YouTube if you prefer that medium.

Peaceful Place Specialty DSP

This week’s product is the rather gorgeous Peaceful Place Specialty DSP (156394, $15). It’s a specialty paper due to all the silver foil. It’s quite spectacular and I had a hard time selecting which 3 patterns to showcase this week. Here’s the second card using it along with the sentiment from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set again.

This is another very simple card to make – the DSP is cut to 5 1/2 by 3 5/8 inches. The odd size is because I just wanted the trees in the background of the DSP. Next I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen and then added it to an Evening Evergreen card base. As I said, simple!

I’ll be demonstrating this card plus 2 others at my Facebook live on Sunday at 11am EDT. I also copy it to YouTube if you prefer that medium.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Peaceful Place Specialty DSP - Evergreen Elegance

This is a very simple card to make – the DSP is cut to 5 by 3 3/4 inches and the silver foil to 5 1/8 by 3 7/8 inches. Next stamp the sentiment in Evening Evergreen – if there is any issue, you can always restamp, die cut and put it over the top. After that add the DSP to the silver foil mat and that to a white card base. And that’s all she wrote. You can make a dozen of these fairly swiftly if you get in a crunch with Christmas cards.

I’ll be demonstrating this card plus 2 others at my Facebook live on Sunday at 11am EDT. I also copy it to YouTube if you prefer that medium.

Whimsy & Wonder DSP

This week I’m using the Whimsy & Wonder DSP which is now available to order. I really love this paper.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Whimsy & Wonder DSP - Stitched Rectangle dies - Whimsical Trees

Like Friday’s card this is also a good card to make in multiples; the 2 sheets with this pattern will allow you to make 24 quite quickly.

The 2 inch wide piece of DSP is layered onto a Mint Macaron mat which just peeks out at the side. It’s then added to a Whisper White card base – I use a ruler to ensure that the strip is flush with the card base. Next the sentiment from Whimsical Trees was stamped in Mint Macaron and cut out using the Stitched Rectangle dies. It was then popped up with dimensionals and some basic rhinestones were added.

I’ll be making this card and 2 others on my Facebook Live later today at 11am EDT – join me then. If you share my Live I’ll add you to the following week’s raffle.
