Christmas Means More


.

 I love this sentiment from the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart.  This stamp set is called Christmas Means More and there are other sentiments in this set that I like too. This card was inspired by Mary Fish, although I didn't have the same ribbon she had which was the Shaded Spruce Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo Pack.  I used her measurements for my card.  

1.     The base of the card is 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 3-1/2” and 9.

2.    Cut the Tis the Season DSP at 3-1/4” x 4” and 1-3/4” x 4.

3.    Whisper White cardstock is die cut with the Stitched Shape Dies at 2-5/8” Square and with the Stitched Rectangle Dies at 3-3/8” x 4-3/4”.

4.    Cut the Shaded Spruce cardstock at 3-1/8” square and the Cherry Cobbler cardstock at 2-7/8” square.

5.    Adhere the DSP to outside flaps of the cards with Stampin’ Seal Adhesive.

6.    Adhere half the Shaded Spruce square to the left side with Stampin’ Seal Adhesive.

7.    Cut the Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon about 14”.  Use Stampin’ Seal to attach the ribbon on the Shaded Spruce square and then wrap around the entire card.

8.    Attach two Jingle Bells to some Metallic Mesh Ribbon and tie it all together in a bow on the side.

9.    Ink up the sentiment with Shaded Spruce ink and stamp on the Whisper White Stitched Shape Square.  Adhere to the Cherry Cobbler Square with Seal Adhesive.

10.  Attach to Shaded Spruce Square with Seal Adhesive or Dimensionals.

11.   Color the bells with Smoky Slate Blends.  Add Wink of Stella.

Lots of Cheer - Blueberry Bushel

 

                      It might be a little early for snowmen, I agree.  However, I'm a
snowman collector and this set Lots of Cheer from the annual catalog was calling my name.  Blue is my favorite color and I really love the In-Color Blueberry Bushel, so I wanted to make this card.  I cased the layout from Julie Gilson.  My written instructions are below: 




1.     The base of the card is Blueberry Bushel cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 7-1/4” and scored at 4-1/4” on the 7-1/4” side

2.    On the inside, cut Whisper White cardstock at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhere to the inside of the card.  Then cut 2-5/8” x 3-7/8” Whisper White cardstock.  Ink up the sentiment “May Your Christmas Be Wrapped Up in Holiday Spirit” with Blueberry Bushel ink on the upper center of the Whisper White.  Layer it onto Blueberry Bushel cardstock cut at 2-3/4” x 4”.

3.    For the outside, cut Whisper White cardstock at 2-5/8” x 5-1/8” and cut Blueberry Bushel DSP at 2-1/2” x 5” and layer the two pieces together.  Wrap the ribbon around both layers and tie a bow before adhering to the front of the card.

4.    Cut Blueberry Bushel cardstock at 2-3/4” x 4” and add it to the front making sure it covers the inside middle section and using Dimensionals on the left side only.

5.    Cut Whisper White cardstock at 2” x 3-1/2” and use the Embossing Buddy.  Ink up the snowman stamp with Versamark ink.  Sprinkle with Silver Embossing Powder.  Shake off excess and heat with the Heat Tool.

6.    Color in the snowman with Stampin’ Blends but be very careful not to get it on the Silver Embossing.  Cut Silver Foil at 2-1/8” x 3-5/8”.  Layer pieces together with adhesives and add to the center of the Blueberry Bushel front layer.  Color in the snowman with the Wink of Stella.

Carols of Christmas - Smoky Slate and Silver

Here is another version of the card I previously made but this time using Smoky Slate cardstock for the base of my card. and Night of Navy for the second layer.  I used Silver Glimmer paper for the trees and Silver Foil for the deer and attached him with a Glue Dot.  The ribbon is 1/8" Silver Ribbon and I embossed "Peace on Earth" with Silver Embossing Powder.  The Whisper White circle is die cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  This is also the card that I made for my swap this month.
