Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Evergreen Elegance!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Evergreen Elegance!

Hey there! I'm back again with Day #3 of Christmas In July Week! Today I have another new bundle from the Annual Catalog, Evergreen Elegance! This bundle consists of a red-rubber cling stamp set and a border punch. I didn't use the punch on today's card, but come back tomorrow and I will share a creation with it, ok?

For my card today I combined the Evergreen Elegance stamp set with the Wintry 3D embossing folders and gold heat embossing. Evening Evergreen ink, Basic White card stock, and gold embellishments all come together for such and elegant look!

I embossed the vellum with one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders:

I heat-embossed the traditional Merry Christmas with gold powder, then added gold twine from the Elegant Trim Combo Pack and Gilded Gems to coordinate.

I cut a mat for the inside sentiment layer with a Stitched Rectangle die.

Hey there! I'm back again today with another card for my Christmas In July Week! Today's card is an easel-fold with the Tidings & Trimmings bundle again:
Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_easel_carolpaynestamps1
I love how you can really feature the card front with the easel-fold!

Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_easel_carolpaynestamps6

I stamped one of the stockings from Tidings & Trimmings with Cherry Cobbler ink, then cut with a Christmas Tidings die. The trims peeking out of the stocking top are also cut with Christmas Tidings dies.

Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_easel_carolpaynestamps3

I made sure I stamped the greeting before embossing the Very Vanilla layer with one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders.

I stamped and cut a Tidings & Trimmings star with a Christmas Trimmings die, then adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to create the "stop" for the easel.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Week!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Week!

Hey there! I traditionally hold a Christmas in July class at my house, but this year circumstances are not letting it happen, so I decided to do the next best thing, hold a Christmas In July Week here on my blog!

Today's card is the first one I created with the Tidings and Trimmings bundle from the Annual Catalog!

Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_carolpaynestamps1

I used Crumb Cake as my neutral instead of the usual Basic White or Very Vanilla, stamping directly on it with Evening Evergreen, then cutting with a Hippo & Friends die. I cut a larger mat layer from Cherry Cobbler with another Hippo & Friends die. The holly & star embellishments are cut with Christmas Trimmings dies.

Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_carolpaynestamps3

I embossed the Soft Succulent layer with one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders that is sized to fit in the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. I chose my card stock colors to coordinate with the colors in the Tidings of Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Paper I used on the card front.

Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I stamped again on Crumb Cake with a Tidings & Trimmings sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink.

Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_carolpaynestamps5

I had fun creating my first Christmas card of 2021! I will be back tomorrow with another Tidings & Trimmings creation!

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Nativity for the Year-End Closeout!

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Nativity for the Year-End Closeout!

Today I want to share with you a collection of cards created with the Peaceful Nativity Bundle. This bundle is on the Retiring List,  which is also called the Year-End Closeout list:

First, I paired Peaceful Nativity with gold heat embossing and the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder. Get the details and supply list HERE.

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity_carolpaynestamps1

I used the Starlight Technique for this Peaceful Nativity card HERE.

Stampin_up_peaceful_nativity_carolpaynestamps2

6a00e54f70aa808833026bde90aeaa200c-450wi

I used a gate-fold to mimic stable doors for this Peaceful Nativity creation. Get the details and dimensions HERE.

6a00e54f70aa808833026bde90f8be200c-450wi

I made the whole stable with this Peaceful Nativity Diorama HERE.
