‘Ornament’ Christmas cards for quick & easy card making!

November 28, 2022

We're making ornament cards on tonight's Stamp with Me Live. It's a quick & easy idea for your Christmas cards!

The designer paper is the Santa Express seen here. It's filled with lots of great patterns; not just Santas & trains.

Join me here Live at 7:30 pm CT. The video will be on my YouTube channel by Tuesday, November 29th too.

I chose an 'easy' card so those who feel rushed in getting their Christmas cards made. Plus these cards use your DSP and an embossing folder too; both make a card special.

I added a Wonderful Snowflake to the designer paper circle for a quick, beautiful iridescent element. These snowflakes will be well discounted on Thursday with the Last Chance List seen here: Download 2022 Holiday Catalog Last Chance

The greeting is from the Joyful Flurry stamp set.

Join me here when I share some tips on making these fun and easy cards tonight.

Gather these supplies:

Card bases 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
White or neutral background layer 3 3/4" X 5", will be textured
Another layer 4" X 5 1/4"
'ornament' circles cut from DSP – mine are almost 3" around
Silver or gold paper (or other) for the top of the ornament
Twine or thin ribbon

Other items: Greeting stamps, ink, embossing folder, snowflakes

I made one card into an easy fun fold by folding the front of the card base back on itself. For this one I chose to add greetings from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set.

The card base is Mint Macaron with White & Poppy Parade accents.

Beautiful Earthen Elegance monochromatic card with video!

August 16, 2023

I shared how to make this gorgeous card in a video a few weeks ago. I liked it so much I decided to feature it at my August card clubs.

Save

I featured the Earthen Elegance designer paper and the Earthen Textures set & dies bundle seen here. It's all Pretty Peacock and white!

Save

There are a ton of die-cuts on this card; all in white. After stamping the vases I sponged the edges with Pretty Peacock ink.

After we stamped one of the images in the set onto the large fan/leaf we folded it on the score lines and sponged ink onto the outer folds.

Another details – one one card I textured the DSP and then used a sanding block (or emery board) on the raised surface to show off the texture.

Save

This stamp set is full of beautiful gratitude greetings.

You can see how this is made in the video here or click on the photo below to see it as well. I also share three other cards too.

Another way to use the Gorgeous Garden dies in a fun fold card with video tutorial

August 15, 2023
I shared this beautiful card on a recent video. I sure had fun with the colors on this card!

Save

It's a double-decker fun fold card. It might look hard but it sure isn't! All you need to add is a simple box between the middle layer and the inside back of the card. Watch the video here to see how it's done.

Save

Using our Blending Brushes I added the three colors (Tahitian Tide, Brilliant Blue & Gorgeous Grape) to a piece of White cardstock. I then used the Garden dies to die-cut it out. I adhered this to the back of the card base before adding the 'box' to create the double-decker fun fold card.

I created a second colorful die-cut so I could add extra details to the cards.

Supplies:
- Basic White & Brilliant Blue card stock
- Vellum Basics specialty paper seen here
- Inks – Brilliant Blue, Gorgeous Grape & Tahitian Tide
- Lasting Joy stamp set seen here
- Gorgeous Garden dies
- Basic 3D embossing folders seen here
- Stylish Shapes dies for the circles
- Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped rectangle
- Blending Brushes
Save

Double-decker card measurements:
- White card 8 ½” X 5 ½” score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”, front textured layer is 1 7/8” X 5 ¼”,
- White for die-cut 4” X 5 ¼”, Scalloped die-cut 3 1/8” X 4 ½”
- Box is 3 ½” X 4” – score every ¾”
- Circle die-cuts – 2 3/4" white & 3" blue
Here are both cards shown in the video below.

Gorgeous Garden dies & Blending Brushes; wow!

August 14, 2023

Check out this beautiful card made with the Gorgeous Garden dies!

Save

I think it's stunning. Don't you love the pretty blending of the greens? I simply added one color to the finished die-cut. I cut it out from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and added Pretty Peacock ink with a blending brush in a few areas. Easy!

I was surprised that the finished color (after adding Pretty Peacock to Lemon Lime Twist) was close to Shaded Spruce. Who knew?! So I added a 1/4" strip to the left edge of the card to bring in that color and also stamped the greetings in Shaded Spruce too.

Tip: Adding your colors in two or more ways to your project gives them a cohesive look. For example if I use green card stock I will add a layer of green or a stamped image. If you struggle with choosing color combinations stick with just two colors. Or better yet try a monochromatic card – add one color to a neutral like white, browns or black.

Save

I used the Lasting Joy set for my greetings. I really love this set with the mixed fonts; I find I use it often.

Save

I added a stitched circle to the left side to anchor the greeting. Both of these dies are from the Stylish Shapes dies; they're a must have! See them here.

Here are the Gorgeous Garden dies.
