Filled with Cheer

This is a card I made using the Filled with Cheer stamp set that will be available to customers on July 3 as Online Exclusive, so you won't find it in any of the Stampin' Up! catalogs.  I love snowmen stamps, so I knew I had to get this one.  The other stamps are gifts, lights and a wagon, and three sentiments.  The snowflakes came from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set that will also be available July 3rd.

This is how I made my card:

Stamp Set:  Filled with Cheer and Sophisticated Sled (snowflakes)

Cardstock:  Pool Party, Basic White

Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento

Stampin’ Blends:  Pool Party, Cherry Cobbler, Pecan Pie, Daffodil Delight, Boho Blue, Smoky Slate, Basic Black

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Snowflake Sky EF, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals

 

1.      The base of the card is Pool Party cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Pool Party cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.  Adhere to the base of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals/

3.    Die-cut a Basic White circle using the largest Spotlight on Natures Dies.

4.    Ink up the snowman stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento and stamp on the center of the circle.

5.    Color in with the Stampin’ Blends.  The Boho Blue was used to highlight the snow and snowman to give it more depth.

6.    Use Multipurpose Glue to add to the front.

7.    Add 3 Rhinestones.

This is most of the products I used that are current, but the new items will be added at later date:

Sophisticated Sled with Timber 3D EF

This is another card that I made using the Sophisticated Sled.  The stamp set and dies will be available July 3 as an Online Exclusive, so you won't see this Bundle in any catalog.  As a demonstrator, I was able to preorder it a month earlier.  It is similar to a card that I made back in 2015 using Winter Wishes stamp set.  I used a button on the side with Baker's Twine.  Stampin' Up! doesn't sell buttons anymore, but I had used a button from my sewing supplies.

6.    Ink up the sentiment “Warm Wishes” from the Paper Pumpkin Kit 2023 with Early Espresso ink.  Use the Stylish Shapes Dies banner to create the size you need by running it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine more than once.  Adhere to the middle of the sled with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

7.    Take a brownish button from your sewing supplies and insert Baker’s Twine or Linen Thread and tie a square know.  Fray the ends.  Attach to the left side of the strip with Mini Glue Dots.
