Tailored Tag Patchwork Background Christmas Card

I’ve wanted to make a card with a patchwork background created with the Tailored Tag punch ever since I bought which was, a long time ago. Finally I’ve pulled out the Christmastime Is Here Speciality DSP and created this christmas card.

I used 18 punch out tags in four different designs, but you can use any number of patterns you like, just try not to put the same patterns next to each other when you form your patchwork. I adhered these by using Liquid Glue on the card base.

I added a little swirl of the Gold Shimmer Ribbon to add some interest and then placed the large label from the Roses dies over the top with the greeting stamped in Cherry Cobbler. I finished with some of my favourite Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.

The Christmastime Is Her suite is only available until the end of the month so if you still thinking about purchasing these products you only have a few days left, I’m just debating how many extra packets of Gold Glitter Enamel Dots I should order.

Gold Christmas Bells Card

For todays project I’ve mixed elemtns from the Christmastime Is Here suite with the Bells Are Ringing bundle. This is one bundle which I think has been overlooked by many as the Autumn/Winter catalogue is packed with great things, which is a shame as its a great bundle and one which is very versatile.

Firstly I made the bells by cutting two of the outline dies out of Gold Foil and the cut two of the detailed dies out of Gold Glimmer paper. I used some mulit purpose adhesive sheets from a previous catalogue, to stick the glimmer bells onto the foil if you dont have these then i light touch of the Fine-tip glue would work the same.

I then die cut a bow from the same bundle out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and a label for my greeting in Whisper White from the Wild Rose dies.

I added a strip of the Gold Shimmer Ribbon across the background paper, both from the Christmastime Is Here suite. I added the “Merry Christmas” greeting to the Wild Rose Label and then added the gold bells.  As a finishing touch I added some of my favourite embellishments, the Gold Glimmer Enamels Dots, perhaps a few too many but hey its Christmas!

Christmas Rose Birthday Card Duo

Today I’m sharing these simple cards which have helped bump up my birthday card stash. They took just ten minutes to make each and you could make them in any colour.

I chose to use Blueberrry Bushell and Lovely Lipstick for these cards but you could use any colour you like.

To add a little interest I’ve added a strip of the 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon to each card. The greeting comes from the Seaside Notions stamp set and is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Floral Friday: Christmas Rose Wedding Card

Today I’ve used the Christmas Rose stamp set to create a wedding card. I’ve gone far away from the colours in the Christmastime Is Here Suite and focused on colours from my own wedding.  I used Blackberry Bliss and Gold for my own wedding stationary, here I’ve added in Mint Macaron as a green for the foiliage.

I stamped the Chrsitmas Rose in Versamark and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I coloured the roses with both Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blends and the leaves in a mix of Light Shaded Spruce and Dark Mint Macaron which gave them a two-tone effect which I really like.  I used a few drops of Golden Glitz Delicata Reinker and a Blender pens to colour in the berries on the image.

I added some interest to the Mint Macaron background layer by stamping the inner berry stamp in a random pattern all over with Versmark ink. I then added a strip of the Gold Shimmer Ribbon across the middle before adhering onto the Gold Foil layer.

I stamped the greeting from Beautiful Bouquet onto the large frame from the Roses die set and added this to the card. I then added my rose diecut over the top. I finished the card off with some of the Gold Glitter Enamel Dots which I am loving and seem to be putting on every thing I make.

I’m loving all the products in the Christmastime Is Here Suite and actually how versatile they are as I don’t think this card looks Chrismassy at all do you?

Christmas Parcels Card

Today I’m sharing another card made with the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley, I’ve changed things up a little and made a slightly different card base to my usual one.

I cut my cardstock to 28cm x 11cm, I then scored the card in half at 14cm. On the front I cut 7cm off, so I had half of the card base missing. I covered the front and the inside of the card with the gold star card. The front piece measuring 6.5cm x 10.5cm and the inside piece measuring 13cm x 6.5cm.

MerryXmas Parcels inside

On the inside I added a whisper white oval for the sender to write their greeting. On the front I stamped my greeting in Real Red on the same size oval. The Merry Christmas comes from the Christmas Rose stamp set which is available to customers starting November 1st. I then backed this with a larger oval in Old Olive and adhered this to the front of the card, overlapping the oval on the inside.

Merry Xmas parcels flat

I decorated the front and the inside of the card with a row of stamped and diecut parcels line-up along the bottom of the card. I also added three gold stars from the product medley to compliment the star background.
