Festive Friends Classes – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing seasonal or holiday projects. I am sharing the cards I designed for my November classes using the adorable Festive Friends stamp set and Dies.

 

Colours used to make these cards are:

 

Snowman That-a-Way card

Thick Basic White card base – 11½” by 4” scored at 5¾”
Balmy Blue card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White – 5⅞” by ½”
Scrap Basic White & Granny Apple Green card

 

Using Balmy Blue ink, we stamped the Falling Snow image onto the panel of Balmy Blue card and set aside to dry.

With a pencil, lightly mark the card front at 2” on the short side then cut from the 2” mark to the centre scoreline on the right. Repeat the cut on the left side to leave a pointed card front. Place the 2 cut pieces together, face down, to form a triangle and use Sellotape to adhere the pieces together.

 

With a pencil, lightly mark the stamped Balmy Blue panel at 1⅞” on the short side then cut from the mark to the centre scoreline on the right, repeat the cut on the left side. This will give 1 large triangle and 2 small triangles.

 

Glue the large triangle to the pointed card front. Place the 2 smaller pieces together, face down, to form a triangle and use Sellotape to adhere the pieces together.

 

Open the card and place the unattached triangle on the inside with the bottom of the triangle lined up with the right-hand end of the card, dsp side facing upwards. Add glue where the panels over-lap and close the card to adhere together.

Stamp the snowman with Secret Sea ink on scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Festive Friends Dies. We coloured him in using the following Blends Pens – Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Timid Tiger.

 

 

I die cut a tree from scrap Granny Apple Green and glued it to the centre of the card front then added the snowman on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was created using the Christmas Words Hybrid Embossing Filder and Die. Whilst it was still in the die we added Balmy Blue ink over it with a Sponge Dauber. The sentiment was the added to the card front.

Cheerful Elf Card

Granny Apple Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Secret Sea card – 5¼” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Balmy Blue card – 4” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Real Red & Secret Sea card – ½” by ¼” – one of each
Scrap Basic White card

 

The 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card was embossed using the Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder. The embossed panel was then glued to the Secret Sea layer and then to the Granny Apple Green card front.

 

The piece of Balmy Blue card was stamped with the Falling Snow stamp using Balmy Blue ink and the tag was then die cut. We glued the tag to the card front tucking a piece of Real Red and Secret Sea card under the tag, near the top on the right.

 

A white tree, die cut from scrap card was added to the tag.

The elf was stamped on scrap Basic White card using Secret Sea ink. We coloured it using the following Blends Pens – Ivory, Balmy Glue, Granny Apple Green, Crumb Cake and Secret Sea. The elf was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

 

The sentiment was stamped with Secret Sea ink onto scrap Basic White card. We trimmed it out before adding it to the card front.

 

A bow made using retired Twisted Gold Thread completed the card.

Santa Card

Thick Basic White card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Granny Apple Green card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Balmy Blue card – 5” by 3½”
Scrap Basic White & Granny Apple Green card

 

Using Balmy Blue ink, we stamped the Falling Snow image onto the panel of Balmy Blue card and set aside to dry. The stamped panel was then adhered to the 5⅛” by 3⅜” piece of Basic White card and then to the layer of Granny Apple Green card. The whole piece was then adhered to the Thick Basic White card.

 

The small, fuzzy looking tree was then die cut from scrap Granny Apple Green card and adhered to the card front.

 

The Santa image was stamped in Secret Sea ink onto scrap Basic White card. We die cut it out using the co-ordinating Dies. We coloured the image in using the following Blends Pens – Ivory, Real Red, Smoky Slate and Secret Sea. He was mounted onto the card on Dimensionals.

 

The sentiment was embossed and die cut using the Christmas Words Hybrid Die. I used some retired Balmy Blue twine to create a bow, added it to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot and added the sentiment overtop on Dimensionals.
