Stampin' Up! Decorated with Happiness 2022 Christmas Card

Hello friends,

I'm back sharing a 2022 Christmas card with you using the Decorated with Happiness bundle from the 2022 July to December Mini Catalogue. 

Stampin Up Decorated with Happiness 2022 Christmas Card by Claire Daly, Stampin Up Demonstrator, Melbourne Australia.

 

My card base is Blackberry Bliss, and my centre panel is Shimmery White with Soft Succulent ink blended in an ombre pattern. Before I adhered the blended cardstock to the cardfront, I:

  • Stamped some of the pine leaf pattern on the edges of the Blackberry Bliss cardstock, using Blackberry Bliss ink; and
  • Added a length of scalloped gold foil either side. I die cut this using one of the dies in the Penned Flowers Dies (part of the Hand Penned bundle).

I have cut two of the pine branches (from the Decorated with Pine Dies) in Soft Succulent and adhered them to the blended cardstock (you can either do this by using adhesive sheets, or you can also add a bit of Multipurpose Glue to a silicon sheet and use a sponge dauber to add it to the back of the die cut).

Next I die cut 2 of the baubles in three different papers - Blackberry Bliss cardstock, Very Vanilla Glimmer paper (in the Glimmer Specialty paper pack) and in Gold Foil. I used the adhesive sheets on the back when I cut these baubles. I adhered the Blackberry Bliss ones to the card first, and then filled in the extra pieces alternating between the glimmer paper and the gold foil. For the bows, I have used some Gold and Vanilla Satin-Edged Ribbon (in the July to December Mini Catalogue) which I cut in half lengthways, and some Gold Metallic Trim (from the Simply Elegant Trim Combo). I just made a bow out of both lengths together.

To finish my card, I stamped the greeting from the Decorated with Happiness Stamp Set, in Blackberry Bliss ink. My embellishments are the 2021-2023 InColor Opal Rounds.

Stampin' Up! Sending Smiles Birthday Card

Hello friends,

I hope you are having a fabulous Monday. It's a beautiful sunny autumn day here, and sunshine always makes me smile.

Today I have a birthday card using the gorgeous new 2022 bundle Sending Smiles. This card is also one of the six cards included in my Sending Smiles Class, which is now available as an instant download PDF class (instructions in metric and imperial). You can find the class HERE.

I've used the Awash in Beauty DSP in the class, which is a beautiful floral paper with really gorgeous neutral sheets on the reverse. Having the grids on this one made it easy to line up the background sentiments (well relatively as I still was crooked on a couple!).

I've done a bit of masking of the sentiments to get the sentiment on the card front. Just use our new masking paper or a postal note to cover the cardstock where you don't want the sentiments stamped and you can come up with all sorts of combinations of words and sentiments.

Here's a look at some sneak peeks of the other cards in my Sending Smiles PDF Instant Download Class. The class includes one of my fave fancy fold cards too. Sending Smiles is a great bundle to work with, with a great range of different sentiments.
