Bauble Blooms – Stampin' in the Meadows

Good Morning! Here’s another Christmas card made with the Stampin’ Up! Bauble Blooms bundle with the beautiful Traditions of Christmas specialty designer series paper. You can find the card stock cuts along with supplies at the bottom of my post.

Emboss a Basic White panel with the new Traditional Wreath 3D embossing folder. Use a sponge dauber to apply Old Olive ink to the raised leaves and berries and adhere it to the front of an Old Olive card base with liquid glue.

Use the ornament die from the Stampin’ Up! Bauble Blooms dies to cut a panel of the Traditions of Christmas specialty designer series paper and a Real Red backing. Adhere the DSP die cut to the backing with liquid glue. Cut the ornament topper from Gold foil and adhere it to the ornament. Adhere the ornament to the card with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Bauble Blooms stamp set using Versamark ink on Basic White. Sprinkle with gold embossing powder and heat set. Cut it out with the long skinny Stylish Shapes banner die using a two step method and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Tie a loopy bow with gold trim and adhere it to the ornament top and decorate the rest of the wreath with lots of Real Red sparkly sequins.

For the inside panel, emboss and sponge a Basic White strip like the front background and adhere it to the side of a Basic White panel. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bauble Blooms stamp set using Real Red ink and adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

The Traditions of Christmas specialty designer series paper is so pretty that it makes a nice ornament on it’s own.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Good Morning!! Have you started Christmas cards yet? For my first Christmas card of the year, I’m using the new Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up! Bauble Blooms bundle and I’ve paired it with the retired Take A Bow 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. You can find the card stock cuts for this card along with the supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a panel of DSP to the front of a Real Red card base. Adhere another panel to a Garden Green mat and pop it on the card with dimensionals. Stamp the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Bauble Blooms stamp set twice using Garden Green ink on Basic White panels. Stamp the outline floral images twice using Real Red ink over the stamped leaves.

Cut one of the stamped images out with the ornament die from the Stampin’ Up! Bauble Blooms dies. Cut the flowers and leaves out from the second image using the detailed die. Color the die cut flowers with the Melon Mambo watercolor pencil and Blender Pen. Adhere the die cut flowers and leaves to the ornament with dimensionals.

Cut a leaf sprig from Garden Green using the Label Me Grateful dies and adhere it to the card with glue dots. Cut the large ornament holder from Silver foil using the Stampin’ Up! Bauble Blooms dies and adhere it to the ornament with liquid glue. Tie a Real Red ribbon around the ornament holder hole and pop the ornament on the card with dimensionals. Finish with Cherry Cobbler dots.

Stamp the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Bauble Blooms stamp set using Real Red ink on Basic White and trim the bottom with DSP. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The ornament from Stampin’ Up! You Are Remarkable bundle is real pretty in Real Red and Garden Green and the two step stamping technique is really nice for outlining the flowers in Real Red. The challenge was to color the flowers light enough to contrast with the lines and the watercolor pencils worked perfect.

Unfortunately the Take A Bow DSP is retired, so if you don’t have any leftover from last year, take heart because next month a new release of Online Exclusives and a new Mini Catalog are coming out and there are several options for Christmas papers that will work beautifully with this design (as well as any other Christmas papers you may have in your stash).

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!
