Stampin’ Up! Festive Foliage Christmas Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Festive Foliage cling stamp is a background stamp and one of those catalog hidden gems! It’s so festive and versatile – I’ve seen the pretty image embossed in silver and gold as well as colored like I did here. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped a panel of Basic White with the Stampin’ Up! Festive Foliage stamp using my Stamparatus and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used a larger panel so I could hold the panel down with the magnets and clear the stamp and I did stamp it a couple of times to get good coverage. Then I trimmed it down to 4″ x 5-1/4″.

I colored the foliage with Stampin’ Blends – Soft Succulent, Shaded Spruce, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Real Red. Using the different greens makes the image so rich! Then I colored the background with my light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend. I embossed the panel with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Real Red card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid photopolymer stamp set in Real Red on Pool Party and cut it out with the Tailor Made Tags die. I cut out a tag reinforcer from Real Red and adhered it to the tag with liquid glue. I looped some ruffled Real Red and Black and White Gingham ribbon through the hole and tied the ribbon with baker’s twine that I colored with the Old Olive Stampin’ Blend. I adhered the tag to the card front and added some Pool Party rhinestones for some bling.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the corners of a Basic White panel with the Stampin’ Up! Festive Foliage stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it to match the card front. I stamped the sentiment from Perfectly Plaid in Real Red and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love this pretty holiday greenery image! The Stampin’ Up! Festive Foliage stamp set is also great for making quick and easy Christmas cards. And with Thanksgiving this week, time’s running out for finishing up those Christmas cards, so quick and easy is important!
