Stampin’ Up! His Light Graphic Background for Christmas Eve!

Posted on December 24, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Christmas Eve! After I finish this post I will be in constant motion until bedtime, which will be late since it is Christmas Eve! I will be wrapping, cooking, and preparing beds for my kids to come sleep here tonight, but I wanted to share this one last Christmas card with you that I just had to create with my "graphic background" technique.

I used the large "Rejoice" from the His Light stamp set in the Holiday Catalog with gold embossing powder to create this card that really speaks the reason for the season for me:

The His Light stamp set is retiring from the Holiday Catalog, so be sure to order your set before January 2nd. Available only while-supplies-last!

To heat emboss an entire background like this one I rubbed the paper all over with my Embossing Buddy first, then stamped "rejoice" with Versamark repeatedly, then sprinkled with gold embossing powder and then blasted it with my Heat Tool. Heat embossing is magical to watch happen! I heat embossed the Holy Family with gold powder on Blackberry Bliss card stock, then cut with a Bethlehem Edgelit.

I used Gold Foil as my background layer on both the inside and outside.

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Noel!

Posted on December 18, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The card I'm sharing with you today was also created for my class last Friday night. I really hadn't given the Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper or the Peaceful Noel stamp set enough love, so I decided to make another card with another print from the pack and use the elegant "Noel" to go with it!

The Frosted Floral Specialty print I chose reminds me of ivy/mistletoe, so I used a 4" x 5 1/4" piece on the Tranquil Tide card front. I added a piece of retiring Tranquil Tide 1/4" Velvet Ribbon with a bit of SNAIL adhesive, then added a Tranquil Tide layer cut with a Stitched Shapes Framelit.

I stamped "Noel" from Peaceful Noel (retiring) with Tranquil Tide on a white layer, then added pine needles with stamped-off Tranquil Tide. The little leaves directly under the greeting was stamped with Soft Seafoam. I cut it all out with a brand-new framelit from the Rose Trellis Thinlets, available on January 3rd from the Occasions Catalog. Three pearls are the finishing touch.

Inside I used a phrase from the retiring "His Light" set, and more Peaceful Noel foliage. I covered the envelope flap with a coordinating piece of the same Frosted Floral Specialty.

Here's your shopping list for today's project:

Peaceful Noel Photopolymer Bundle [149958]	Frosted Floral 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper [147800]	Tranquil Tide 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [144246]
