Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Joy Christmas Card

Good Morning! Here’s another simple Christmas card made with the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set and Labels Aglow dies. I paired these items with the pretty deer pattern in the Winter Meadow designer series paper for a quick and easy Christmas card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of Basic White with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with liquid glue.

I adhered a panel of the Winter Meadow designer series paper to a panel of Silver Foil and popped the layered DSP onto the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark ink on a Basic White panel and sprinkled it with silver 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 circle label die from the Labels Aglow dies and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals and glue dots. I adhered a bow to the label with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Pretty designer series paper makes it so easy to create elegant simple handmade Christmas cards. Especially when paired with the beautiful sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Seasons Greetings Card

Good Morning! Have you seen the pretty Z-fold cards that use gorgeous scenic designer series paper for the card front? I used the sentiments from the pretty Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow cling stamp set with the One Horse Open Sleigh designer series paper to make one for today. You can find the currently products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I started by cutting 3/4″ off the top of a 6″ x 6″ One Horse Open Sleigh panel so that it was 5-1/4″ x 6″. Then I cut 2″ off the right side so that I had a right side 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel for the card front and a 2″ x 5-1/4″ panel for the inside of the card. Since I chose a simple, serene icy blue landscape, I decided to dress it up a bit by adding some silver embossed trees.

I stamped the tree from the Horse and Sleigh stamp set in Versamark ink twice on the large panel and once on the small panel. I sprinkled the stamped trees with silver embossing powder, shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I adhered the large DSP panel to a Misty Moonlight card base with liquid glue by applying the glue to the left half of the embossed panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on the right side of a Basic White panel and adhered the small embossed One Horse Open Sleigh DSP panel to the left side. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with liquid glue and checked to make sure it was covered by the front DSP panel when the card was closed.

I stamped the Seasons Greetings sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White strip and adhered it to the card front with dimensionals. I adhered some adhesive strip to the back of a silver foil panel and cut the tree from the Horse and Sleigh dies. I peeled off the adhesive back and adhered it to the card front.

I tied a knot in a length of silver and white sheer ribbon and adhered it to the label with a glue dot. I adhered snowflakes and silver pearls to the card to finish.

Making a fun fold is a great way to make a handmade card extra special and this is a super simple design, especially when you have beautiful scenic designer series paper. I love how the back of the paper is also part of the card design. And the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set with it’s beautiful sentiments are the perfect compliment!

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow cling stamp set has some of the prettiest Christmas greetings and I used it with some of the pretty new Holiday papers for a simple Christmas card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week:

I embossed a Basic White panel with the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Real Red mat. I adhered the layered embossed panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals.

I trimmed the bottom of a strip of Joyful Specialty DSP, Joy Of Christmas DSP and More Dazzle specialty paper with my paper snips to make fishtail banners. I adhered the banners to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic White. I sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut it out with the pretty circle die from the Labels Aglow dies. I wrapped gold twine around the back and adhered the label to the card with dimensionals. I adhered holly leaf sequins and a gem to the label with glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red ink on Basic White. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Joy of Christmas DSP and adhered the panel to a Real Red mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

The Merry Melody embossing folder is perfect for Christmas cards and pretty Christmas papers are perfecty for this week’s card sketch. All it needs is a pretty sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set!

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow and Joy Of Noel Christmas Card

Good Morning! Today’s card is a simple Christmas card made with the pretty sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow cling stamp set. I paired it with the beautiful Joy of Christmas designer series paper and and I used one of the pretty images from the Joy of Noel stamp set to decorate the inside. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Joy of Christmas designer series paper to the front of a Real Red panel with liquid glue. I wrapped the layered panel with Real Red ribbon and made a bow and adhered the panel to the front of a Garden Green card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the beautiful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Real red ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the pretty Labels Aglow die and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I decorated the label with a rhinestone and holly leaves from the Loose Holly Gems and Sequins, adhered with glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. Rather than DSP, I stamped the image from the Joy Of Noel stamp set in stamped off Pebble Path ink in the bottom corner. I colored the image in Granny Apple Green, Garden Green and Real Red inks using a Blender Pen. I adhered the panel to a Real Red mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

This was so simple, but the beautiful sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set make it a card anyone would love to receive. And I love how well the Joy Of Noel stamped image on the inside coordinates with the pretty DSP!

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Christmas Card

Good Morning! I want to share another quick Christmas Card made with the beautiful One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. But this time I’m using the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set for my sentiments. This stamp set has one of the most beautiful ‘Merry Christmas’ sentiments and I stamped it directly on the beautiful DSP. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of More Dazzle specialty 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the front of a Pool Party card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow cling stamp set in Versamark ink on a panel of One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and adhered it to a Real Red mat.

I wrapped a length of Real Red ribbon around the panel and tied a knot on the side, securing it with a glue dot. I popped the panel on the front of the card with dimensionals and finished the card with three gold snowflakes.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I used the pine trees from the Grassy Grove stamp set, using stamped off Mossy Meadow ink to accent the sentiment. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Another quick Christmas Card finished thanks to the beautiful One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. The beautiful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set gold embossed on the DSP balances the shine from the More Dazzle specialty paper and helps to make this a special Christmas card that anyone would love to receive.

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Christmas Card

Good Morning! Today I made a Christmas card with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle and the Brightest Glow stamp set. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Soft Succulent Festive Foils specialty paper to a Real Red mat. I die cut some sprigs using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle from Evening Evergreen Glimmer paper, Silver Foil and Real Red card stock.

I stamped the large greenery outline from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts cling stamp set in Pear Pizzazz on Basic White. I inked up the leaf stamp with Pear Pizzazz and stamped if off before stamping it over the leaves. I cut it out with the coordinating die. The leaf stamp doesn’t line up with the outline stamp giving the image an abstract textural look. I adhered the large Evening Evergreen die cut to the layered panel with dots of liquid glue and adhered the stamped greenery over it with glue dots. I adhered the Silver Foil and Real Red die cuts with dots of liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark ink on a Soft Succulent panel. I sprinkled it with Silver embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the label die from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle. I adhered the die to the panel with dimensionals and popped the panel on the front of a Soft Succulent card base with dimensionals, covering the stems. I finished the card with silver pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red on a Basic White panel. I stamped the outline greenery from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Pear Pizzazz in the corner and stamped the leaf over it in stamped off Pear Pizzazz. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts bundle is so beautiful, so I thought I would try it in a Christmas palette. It’s an elegant twist on a Christmas greeting.

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow Card with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow cling stamp set has the prettiest Christmas sentiments and paired with pretty designer series paper make easy, elegant Christmas cards. I paired one of the sentiments with the pretty Boughs of Holly DSP for today. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my Facebook live from yesterday afternoon HERE. I have also posted it to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I adhered a panel of Boughs of Holly designer series paper to a Brushed Gold foil mat and then adhered it to the front of a Real Red card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark ink on a Basic White panel. I sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny and cut it out with the second smallest Scalloped Contours dies.

I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and finished it with gold pearls. I tied a length of gold trim around the fold and made a loopy bow to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Sahara Sand on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set also has an elegant set of label and background dies that you should check out. And don’t forget that pairing a pretty sentiment with a pretty paper is a great way to make quick and easy beautiful cards.
