Stampin' Up! Christmas Whimsy Shaker Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Tina Gillespie's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

I begun with the Christmas Whimsy card kit for today's card and altered it slightly. I stamped the snow scene with the star stamp in night of navy ink and then cut the front panel of the card apart and placed it inside a clear envelope with some glitter. I cut a gold frame from gold foil to put over my shaker panel and adhered it all onto poppy parade card. The die cut elements where added onto the shaker panel after everything was adhered in place.
If you were to recreate this card, you will need gold foil, clear envelopes, glitter and poppy parade cardstock, oh and the Christmas Whimsy card kit. That is where the bulk of the materials came from. Even the night of navy ink, dimesionals and the clear block! I love kits that are stocked with some many supplies. I just can't help changing the card up and adding a Ros touch to them.

These are the supplies that come in the Christmas Whimsy card kit for $33. Enough supplies to make 8 cards, 4 each of 2 designs.


Here's my shaker card:


Even though I changed the card up, it still fits into the card supplied in the card kit. Isn't the gold lined envelope gorgeous? 


Inside card - Even the sentiment for the inside of the card comes from the card kit.

Stampin' Up! Be Jolly Tri Fold Pocket Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Rosa Leyden's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

Today, I have a tri fold pocket card and it's inspired by a card I saw Patty Bennett share. I have used the Peaceful Prints DSP for the base of my card and the be jolly stamp set coloured with the stampin' blends.

Inside the card I have left plenty of room to write a holiday message and the pocket allows me to a spot to slip in my annual newsletter. (For the photo I have used my 2020 newsletter)

Stampin' Up Angled Fold Delicate Baubles Christmas Card with Peaceful Prints DSP

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Michele Taylor's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

Today, I have an angled fold Christmas card featuring delicate baubles dies and peaceful prints DSP. I have also used the be dazzling speciality paper. The peaceful prints DSP and be dazzling specialty paper are both available for free when you spend $90 or more on any Stampin' Up! products from August 3rd - September 30th. I really love them both and in case you haven't noticed have been using them A LOT!
For my angled card I created a base in sahara sand cardstock, inspired from the peaceful prints DSP and created a strip design from some offcuts of DSP. To complete the left hand side, I used a delicate baubles die and die cut in snowy white velvet sheets (from the July - December mini catalogue) and of course adding adhesive sheets to the velvet sheet before die cutting. A basic rhinestone jewel was added to the centre of the snowflake and a joy sentiment added to the bottom of the card front. 
On the right hand side of the card front I went with a sheet of DSP so it was a toned down a little (compared to the strip design).


Close up


Inside card - I used leftover pieces of DSP from the card front to decorate the inside and I also cut another snowflake bauble. I used paper snips to cut away the excess portions of the bauble I didn't want.

Stampin' Up! Split Panel Delicate Baubles Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Michele Talyor's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For my card today, I have created a split panel card featuring delicate baubles dies. It also features the be dazzling specialty paper and peaceful prints designer series paper. Both available for free when you spend $90 or more on any Stampin' Up! products from August 3rd - September 30th.
The baubles are die cut from be dazzling speciality paper and to fill in the sections on my delicate baubles dies I used garden green, balmy blue and daffodil delight cardstock with adhesive sheets on the back of the cardstock.
To mimic the be dazzling specialty paper, I used silver foil to matt my green peaceful prints designer series paper. You can get three different silver foils in a speciality pack seen in page 23 of the July - December mini catalogue. 
The sentiment is typed and printed on my computer as I didn't have one in the right size (Copperplate font, size 12).

Stampin' Up! Diagonal Double Pocket Card with Sale-a-bration Peaceful Prints DSP

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Judy May's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For my card today, I created a diagonal double pocket card focusing on the sale-a-bration peaceful prints designer series paper. I also used the fabulous be dazzling speciality paper. Both of the products are available for free when you spend $90 or more on any Stampin' Up! products from August 3rd - September 30th.
I've also used the be jolly stamp set, layering circles dies and messages die and a few stampin' blends. I love this style of card because it allows to heaps of room to write a lovely personalised note and a spot to put my annual yearly newsletter. For my photos today, I reprinted my 2020 newsletter because this years newsletter isn't quite ready! LOL  
The diagonal pocket would also be a great spot to stash money, gift card, Tattslotto ticket or something like that!

Stampin' Up! Counting Sheep Christmas Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Sharon Davern's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For my card today, it is a CASE from a card I saw on the Stampin' Up! Instagram page. This is the original card.


I loved the playfulness of the sheep on the Christmas card. I don't think my card looks as playful, I think mine has a more country feel but I love being able to make the counting sheep stamp set look festive.

I've inked the edges of all die cuts, designer series paper and cardstock with matching inks. I stamped "holly jolly wishes" stamp set on crumb cake cardstock and  used banners pick a punch to create flag ends. I created the "circles" for the hats on the sheep by using the "number 8" die from the playful alphabet dies. The circles are the middle of the 8 leftover when the die is cut.   


I have used four products from the sale-a-bration brochure on this card, counting sheep stamp set, sheep dies, peaceful prints designer series paper and be dazzling speciality paper. All are available for free with a purchase of $90 or more.

Stampin' Up! Gingerbread & Peppermint Christmas Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Caroline Manwaring's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For my card today, I CASED a card from the mini catalogue. I was short on time with the kids at home, doing online schooling and juggling many other things all at the same time.  
Here's the card I cased (from the July - December 2021 mini catalogue, page 8 ©2021 Stampin' Up!®.)


and my version: 


I choose coloured "cookies" for my wire cooling rack and fussy cut them out as I didn't purchase the stamp gingerbread dies and placed basic rhinestone jewels in the centre of each cookie to mimic silver cachous/sprinkles. I raised the "Merriest Christmas" sticker (from the Memories and More card pack) on stampin' dimensionals for added interest. I also used watered down whisper white ink refill (and a paintbrush) to create splatters on my real red cardstock to mimic flour/icing sugar/royal icing.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Prints No Cut DSP Christmas Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Theresa Gerrard's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

I have made a card using a full sheet of 12" x 12" DSP with no cutting for the base of it and it fits into a standard C6 envelope! The DSP is called Peaceful Prints and is one of the products you can earn for free during sale-a-bration. Sale-a-bration begins tomorrow and runs till September 30th, 2021. Back to the DSP, isn't it stunning! I love the two tones of real red DSP that you can see on front of the card. I have also used some red foil that comes in a pack of red and green foil from the July - December catalogue that is also released tomorrow! I fussy cut the reindeer in the middle of the circle (from the Peaceful Prints DSP) but we have a deer builder punch in the July - December mini catalogue also. I used the stitched so sweetly dies for my focal points to sit on and the a wish for everything stamp set and co-ordinating word wishes dies.

Inside card - both panels slip into the pockets. I am going to write on the one with the large typed sentiment and the other panel is probably going to hold a photo and/or my annual newsletter.

Stampin' Up! Origami Trees with Tidings of Christmas DSP

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Claire Daly's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For my card today I made some origami trees out of the Tidings of Christmas DSP. The Tidings of Christmas DSP is part of the 15% off DSP sale that is available till August 2nd in case you want to stock up on your DSP stash!
The trees are made from 3 squares, 2 1/4", 1 3/4" and 1 1/4" and you fold each square in half on the diagonal and them fold one triangle down to the middle and repeat for all three squares. You then stack the 3 now triangles to create the tree shape. I added a gold foil star (from give it a whirl dies) and a soft suede tree trunk to help create the illusion of a tree.  The sentiment for both the card front (and inside the card is from Inspired Thoughts stamp set).
