Simple Stamping: So Many Stars

I love the versatility of the So Many Sras stamp set it perfect for Chrsitmas of course but pair it with birthday sentiment and you have so many more options. Today I’m keeping it really simple with two inks and two stamp set, well technically I’m only using one stamp from Perennial Birthday.

I chose a colour combination of Merry Merlot and Copper, mostly so I could use the Celestial Copper Delicata Ink.

I’ve added one of the Star Designer Elements to each card as these are the perfect embellishments for these cards.

I think this last card is my favourite, which is yours? You can’t beat a bit of simple stamping, especially on a Sunday.

Blueberry Bushell Christmas Tree Card

The Perfectly Plaid bundle is one I’m just getting round to using and I’m finding it great for quick but stunning cards. This one took less than ten minutes to create and I think it looks fab.

I’m a huge fan of the Feels Like Frost dsp, it makes gorgeous backgrounds and I think this pattern works well with these tree stamps.

I stamped the greeting on some seperate card and fussy cut round the “Christmas Cheer” and added this to the bottom of the trees with some Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A few rhinestone from the Noble Peacock collection finish the card off beautifully.

I love how this card turned out. It’s simple but classy and think its adesign which would work well with most of our Stampin’ Up! colours, which colour would you chose?

Yummy Gingerbread House Christmas Card

Today’s card features the Yummy Christmas stamp set, this is one which is perfect for colouring fans out there. Another great thing about this set is it coordinates with the Cuckoo Clock dies from the Annual catalogue, so no fussy cutting if thats not your thing.

I love a good cutting and colouring session so I’ve enjoyed creating this little house and cute little trees.

Everything Is Rosy Christmas Card Trio

Remember back in May when Stampin’ Up! released their first product medley Everything Is Rosy, well its now available in the clearance rack with a 15% discount. So I thought I’d pull out my collection and give Everthing Is Rosy a Christmas twist.

I’ve paired it with the Christmas Gleaming bundle as I think the rich jewel tones of Night of Navy, Melon Mambo and Rose Gold would work well as baubles.

Everythings Rosy Christmas Card 1

Before I put my card together I used the Rose Gold Shimmer Paint and a sponge dauber to “stamp” some baubles on Night of Navy and Whisper White cardstock. I then punched these out with the Gleaming Ornaments Punch pack along with some extra baubles from the paper from Everything is Rosy.

Along with the baubles I added some die cuts from the Stitched Nested dies and some of the flourishes from the Everything is Rosy dies.

Everythings Rosy Chrsitmas Card 3

Some of the Night of Navy Gold Edged Ribbon and pearls coloured with the Rose Gold shimmer paint add a few finishing off touches for these cards.

I love how these turned out and I have many more baubles ready to make more cards, so guess what I’ll be doing this afternoon.

I urge to to pick up the Everything Is Rosy Medley which you still can I love it so much and confession time yes I did order a second one just to get more of the gorgoeus papers, don’t tell my husband.

Snowman Season Glimmer Card

For today’s card I’ve made my own designer paper using the Snowman Season stamp set. I chose to use the little snowman with the marshmallows for feet, he’s so cute isn’t he.

I added a small amount of colour using the dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends for the snowman noses and a little light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends to add a few shadows to the snow and snowmen.

I backed my designer paper on some Real Red Glimmer paper to add some sparkle to this card.

To finish the card off I added some of the Real Red curly ribbon wrapped round the bottom of the card and the added a greeting stamped on a punch from the Story Label Punch.

A quick card but a cute one don’t you think.
