Stampin’ Up! Festive Post Christmas Card

Good Morning! I have another Christmas card today, a rustic and simple card made with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Festive Post photopolymer stamp set. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I stamped little reindeer from the Stampin’ Up! Festive Post stamp set in Soft Suede ink on a Crumb Cake panel. I stamped the little postmark in Real Red and the little stars in Whisper White Craft ink. I punched it out with the new Rectangular Postage Stamp punch that coordinates perfectly with the images in this set – and is on sale today only!! Yay!!

I cut a panel of green Poinsettia Place designer series paper with the tag die from the North Pole Wonder Dies. I wrapped a Real Red Stitched Ribbon through the hole and tied it with a length of Linen thread, making a bow. I adhered the punched deer with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Festive Post stamp set in Real Red on a Whisper White strip and trimmed the end with the Banner Pick a punch. I adhered it to the tag with liquid glue.

I adhered four strips of pinecone Poinsettia Place DSP to the front of a Garden Green card base. I cut a panel of Soft Sea Foam with a Stitched Rectangle die and embossed it with the Wrapped In Texture embossing folder. I adhered it to the card front and adhered the label on top with liquid glue. I finished the label with a red rhinestone.

I stamped the deer from the Stampin’ Up! Festive Post stamp set in Soft Suede ink in the bottom corner of a Whisper White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of green Poinsettia Place DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I just love this happy little reindeer from the Stampin’ Up! Festive Post stamp set! And the stamp set has great holiday images that coordinate with that new Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch – I can’t wait to use the Valentine’s Day image! Of course the punch comes bundled with the pretty Posted for You cling stamp set and is on sale today too!

Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! For today’s hop, I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals bundle with the pretty Poinsettia Place designer series paper to make a simple Christmas Card. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

We have a color challenge this week, and here is the color palette we are using for our projects:

Adhere a panel of the holly Poinsettia Place designer series paper to a Soft Suede mat and pop it on the front of an Old Olive card base. Stamp the Merry Christmas greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals photopolymer stamp set in Real Red ink on Soft Sea Foam card stock and cut it out with the Tasteful Labels die. Adhere it to the lower part of the card.

Cut out three of the leaves from the Poinsettia Dies (two large and one small) from Garden Green card stock. Use both the cutting and embossing dies. Cut out three berry sprigs from Bumblebee card stock and six poinsettia petals from Real Red. Cut out two of the smallest and two of the largest and one of each to the other sizes. Use both the cutting and embossing dies.

Gently bend the poinsettia petals backwards with your fingers and adhere the layers with liquid glue. Position the petals so that the upper layer falls between the petals on the lower layer with the largest on the bottom. Gently bend the tips of the leaves backwards with your fingers. Adhere the leaves and berry branches with liquid glue and the flower with glue dots. Finish the flower center with a beaded pearl and trim the label with a Real Red bow.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Real Red ink on a Whisper White panel. Stamp the berry sprig in Soft Suede ink next to the sentiment and stamp the berries in Real Red. Trim the bottom with a strip of Poinsettia Place designer series paper and adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

The Poinsettia Dies from the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals bundle make the most beautiful dimensional poinsettias that are great for cards and tags and any other Christmas project! And they are a perfect when paired with the Poinsettia Place designer series paper, which is currently on sale this month at a 15% discount!
