Season of Cheer fast card

Leave a reply

Following on from yesterday’s post, here’s another that is fast to mass produce. It also uses fairly minimal product. AND it makes a very small dent in the huge stack of DSP that I have stored. You can get 6 cards from one piece of 12 by 12 DSP and you get two sheets the same in a pack, so here’s another dozen cards that you can make swiftly.

Stampin' Up! Season of cheer DSP and Wonderland

Cut a strip of the DSP at 5.25″ width and then cut it into three 4″ pieces long and then glue a piece of the DSP onto a cherry cobbler card base. If I were making all 12 together, I’d do all of each step at once – it saves a lot of time. Then cut a one inch piece of whisper white and stamp the sentiment which comes from the Wonderland stamp set. The triple banner punch is great for making a banner and also a matting piece as I did here. After I glued the banner and its mat together I popped it up with dimensionals to give me space to attach the reindeer paper clip. I love these clips – I’ve been hoarding them a little but it’s time that they were put on cards and sent to people!

I have another quick and easy card planned for us last minute folks but I also have a class tonight so it may not get finished until Friday. Also my sneak peek order came yesterday (and I had friends over for dinner so I haven’t had a chance to play yet) so it will be hard to resist playing with the new stuff.

I’d like to give a warm welcome to my new email follower – I’m so glad that you joined in the fun.
See you tomorrow,

Sleigh Ride Edgelits CAS

I thought I’d change things up a bit today and not use the Blissful Bouquet stamp set! This is a clean and simple Christmas card using the awesome Sleigh Ride Edgelits.

Stampin' Up! Sleigh Ride Edgelits

I cut out the santa and his sleigh in regular whisper white card stock and trimmed it so that it fit on the night of navy cardbase leaving the size border that I liked. Before gluing it to the cardbase, I used real red ink and a sentiment from Jingle All the way which is curved to match the curve of the edgelits. I love the coordination! So after the stamping – just in case of errors – I glued the whisper white piece to the card base.

I then took the snowflake stamp from the Wonderland set and stamped it four or five times across the sky in a now retired silver ink, changing the orientation of the stamp each time. I lined the envelope using some retired backgrounds DSP and the envelope liner framelits.

I think it would also be fun to do this with silver embossing powder but I was creating a simple card for a card class. Actually one of my friends happened to see this card and has decided that she wants to make a stack to send as Christmas cards. That’s a pretty great compliment.

See you tomorrow,

I really like the colours chosen for this week’s challenge by the Pals Paper Arts but I’m surprised that I ended up with a Christmas card – it wasn’t my intent but the card evolved in its own direction as often seems to happen.

Stampin' Up! Wonderland and Sleigh Ride Edgelits

Here’s the banner that was the inspirationPPA270

I started by cutting out the trees in Always Artichoke using the Sleigh Ride Edgelits. I originally planned use the silent night from the Jingle all the Way set – the curve fits perfectly with the curve cut  by the framelits. But then there was just too much bare expanse of sahara sand. I couldn’t see making any stars with the available colour choices so turned to the Wonderland stamp set. I stamped both sentiments in blackberry bliss – and amazed myself by remembering to do this before I popped up the always artichoke piece. I even cut little pieces of dimensionals to put behind the trees. I then mounted this on a blackberry bliss card base. It’s an ultra clean card and I’m really happy with it.

See you tomorrow,
