Colours used to make these cards are:

 

To recreate the scenic bauble card, you will need:

Shaded Spruce card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Balmy Blue card – 5” by 3¼”

Using Balmy Blue ink, I stamped the large Falling Snow stamp on the piece of Balmy Blue card. The stamped piece was then glued to the Shaded Spruce panel.

The pine tree, from the Scenic Adventure stamp set, was stamped onto the die cut bauble with Shaded Spruce ink, first and second generation. I added the ground using the ‘watery’ image from the same stamp set with Cloud Cover ink.

Silver bauble hangers were added; these were die cut from scrap Silver Foil. I added a little Silver Trim to the hanger of the bauble using a rolled up Mini Glue Dot and taped the other end of the silver trim to the back of the Shaded Spruce card. The bauble was secured in place with Dimensionals. The whole panel was adhered to the Thick Basic White card front.

Five cards made for the Christmas Stampathon using the Cottage Wreaths and Ringed With Nature stamp sets and Country Wreaths Dies by Stampin' Up!

Wreath cards made for the Christmas Stampathon

This month’s theme for the Christmas Stampathon is ‘wreaths’ and my first instinct was to use one of the wreaths from the Cottage Wreath stamp set. However, when I pulled the stamp set off the shelf, I was drawn to the leafy sprig image instead and ended up using this as the basis for my card.

 

Colours used in these cards are:

 

To recreate the wreath Christmas cards, you will need:

5 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”- I used Real Red & Pretty Peacock
5 matting layers – 5⅛” by 3⅜ – I used Real Red & Pretty Peacock
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Distressed Gold dsp
On some of the card I rounded the bottom, right corner on some or all the layers.

 

I sketched a rough circle using a pencil in the upper half of the smaller panels of Basic White card. Around the circle I stamped the leafy sprig in Lost lagoon ink. The pencil circle was then erased.

The trio of flowers, from the Ringed with Nature stamp set was stamped in Real Red ink, three times around the wreath. I cleaned the stamped and inked up only the smallest flower and added a scattering of these smaller flowers.

I added the sentiment from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink, below the wreath. The whole panel was then embossed using the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder before it was glued to the matting panel offset to the left side. The whole piece was then added to the card base on Dimensionals.
