Vintage Christmas

-

Sometimes, all you need is a good sentiment set. And at this time of year, Christmas to Remember is just that. Christmas-y colors, some Christmas-y embellishments and you can turn a non-Christmas set (like Forever Fern) into a a Christmas set.



Measurements (a full supply list and video tutorial can be found below)

  • Evening Evergreen card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/4", scrap)
  • Very Vanilla layers (two measuring 4" x 5-1/4", scraps)
  • Cherry Cobbler and Gold Shimmer Ribbon (12")

Directions
  1. Emboss one of the 4" x 5-1/4" layers with the Merry Melody folder.
  2. Using a blending brush, add Soft Suede ink over the top of the embossed layer. Wrinkle and crinkle layer a bit to make it look older.
  3. Stamp sentiment in Evening Evergreen on a piece of scrap Very Vanilla and punch out using Label Me Lovely punch. Add a little Soft Suede to this layer, if desired, so it blends with music layer better.
  4. Stamp eucalyptus image in Cherry Cobbler on another Very Vanilla scrap, and also in the lower corner of the remaining 4" x 5-1/4" Very Vanilla layer (inside layer).
  5. Stamp another sentiment in Evening Evergreen on the inside layer and adhere to the inside of the card.
  6. Die cut the large leafy image from Evening Evergreen cardstock, as well as the eucalyptus piece.
  7. Wrap ribbon around the lower half of the embossed layer and tie in a knot on the right side of the card.
  8. Determine positioning to Evening Evergreen leaves and eucalyptus die cut and adhere to card. 
  9. Adhere the sentiment to the front of the card using dimensionals.
  10. Adhere three gold holly leaves peeking out from behind sentiment layer.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

Who Wants Some Apple Cider?

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

Changing Leaves...not quite yet!

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
