Five lovely Christmas cards made for the Christmas Stampathon using the pretty Perched In A Tree stamp set and Aspen Dies by Stampin' Up!

Robin on a Branch for the Christmas Stampathon

I have been making Christmas cards today for the Christmas Stampathon and out theme this month is ‘Birds & Branches’. I have created a robin perched on a branch card using the Perched in a Tree stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

 

To recreate the robin on a branch card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Soft Suede card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Fitting Florets dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 4” by 3”
Basic White strip – ⅜” wide
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Soft Suede

 

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I added the dsp to the Soft Suede panel and wrapped a piece of Red Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then glued to the Balmy Blue card front using the same liquid glue.

We used the Stamparatus to stamp each of the snowflakes to create the wreath.

Each snowflake was stamped 4 times, rotating the panel of Basic White card 45° between each stamping.  I created a template for making the wreath using Square Dies and some window sheet.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Orchid Oasis and then to the Parakeet Party card base.

We added a Wonderful Snowflake and the sentiment which was embossed in white on the strip of Orchid Oasis card.

We ran one of the Basic White panels through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. A length of Pool Party Ribbon was wrapped around the layer before it was glued to the Old Olive card front.

We added Pool Party ink to the die cut Circle using a Blending Brush.  Two trees were then stamped onto the circle, the solid background in Garden Green and the detailed image in Evening Evergreen. The circle was then adhered to the card front.

The large and small trees were die cut from scrap Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Garden Green & Evening Evergreen card. They were glued together and added to the card front n Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto a strip of Basic White card in Evening Evergreen ink. We trimmed it down and flagged the ends with scissors. It was then added to the card front.

We glued the Gold and Silver dsp to the Pool Party panel and added the strip of Sweetest Christmas dsp across the centre.

Using Blending Brushes, we added Pool Party ink and Pear Pizzazz ink to the die cut circle.

The large tree was the stamped in Garden Green (solid background) and Evening Evergreen for the more detailed image. The smaller trees were stamped in Pear Pizzazz and either Mossy Meadow or Evening Evergreen. The stamped circle was then glued to the Garden Green scalloped circle and mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

We stamped the sign in Crumb Cake ink and trimmed it out with scissors before adding it to the card front. We die cut 3 stars from scrap So Saffron card and added them to the trees. A trio of Basic Rhinestones completed the card.

I had prepared a negative circle mask ahead of class which we adhered to the smaller panel of Basic White. We then used a Blending Brush to add Pool Party ink to the negative space, peeled the masking paper off and voila…… a soft, blue circle.

The large tree was stamped in the centre of the circle in Garden Green and Evening Evergreen ink and a smaller tree added on each side in Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow.

The greeting was stamped below in Evening Evergreen ink and the panel glued to the Garden Green layer.

The whole piece was then added to the Pool Party card base on Dimensionals and a trio of Iridescent Pearls completed the card.
