Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! olden Greenery bundle with the elegant Season of Green and Gold designer series paper to make a Christmas card filled with holiday greenery. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.
We have a pretty challenge this week:
I adhered a panel of Season of Green and Gold designer series paper to the front of an Old Olive card base with liquid glue. I cut two additional panels of the DSP with the second largest square die from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhered them to the card with liquid glue.
I cut the large leaf sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Golden Greenery dies from gold foil and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I cut two pine sprigs (with the touches of snow) from the Graceful Greenery vellum and adhered them with glue dots. I cut a small leaf sprig from the Season of Green and Gold specialty paper with the coordinating die and adhered it with dimensionals. I love it when dies cut out DSP images as well as stamped images!!
I stamped the sentiments from the Greetings of the Season stamp set on Very Vanilla using Versamark ink. I stamped the ‘Christmas‘ sentiment first and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and then lined up/stamped the ‘Merry‘ sentiment on top and sprinkled more gold embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut the sentiment out with the banner die from the Stylish shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card with glue dots and finished the card with a loopy gold bow and white berries.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the detailed pine sprig from the Stampin’ Up! Golden Greenery stamp set using Old Olive ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the background sprig using stamped-off Old Olive and the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set using Wild Wheat. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The Stampin’ Up! Golden Greenery bundle has such elegant greenery, both stamps and dies! Along with the beautiful Season of Green and Gold specialty DSP, it makes beautiful Christmas cards.
