Welcome to the Candy Hearts Blog Hop for November! Today we are sharing Christmas themed projects. After reading my post, I hope you will hop to the next person on the list below. Be sure to hop around to see ALL the great projects the Candy Hearts have created for you!
Stampin’ Up! has sooooooo many amazing Christmas-themed sets that it was really difficult to choose just ONE to share with you today! I guess it’s a good thing that there are a lot more blogging days between now and Christmas! This is the perfect time to be getting your order in for Christmas goodies if you plan to make your own cards to send out – there are some really simple ways to make amazing Christmas cards, and today I’m going to share one of those ways with you!
How I made it:
Cut & Score with your Paper Trimmer:
- Highland Heather – 8.5″ x 5.5″, scored at 4.25″ on the long side
- Night of Navy – 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
- Snowflake Splendor DSP – 4″ x 5.25″
- Whisper White – 2″ x 3.75″
Punch with Delightful Tag Topper:
- Both sides of the Whisper White piece of paper
Stamp Using Snowflake Wishes
- In Highland Heather – the sentiment “May Your Season Sparkle” in the center of your tag
- With Balmy Blue, stamp the smallest cluster of snowflakes numerous times around the sentiment
Cut Your Ribbon:
- Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon – 7 inches
- Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon – 7 inches
- Snowflake Splendor Ribbon – two pieces approximately 3 inches each
Assemble Your Card:
- Fold your scored Highland Heather card base at the 4.25” score line and burnish with your bone folder
- Adhere the Night of Navy panel to the Highland Heather card base
- Place a strip of Tear and Tape onto the back of the Silver Metallic Edge ribbon, remove the backing and adhere across the center of the Snowflake Splendor DSP, folding the ends behind the DSP
- Fold a 7″ piece of Tear and Tape in half length-wise so that you have a very skinny piece of 7″ Tear and Tape – adhere this to the back of the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon, and then adhere the ribbon over the Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon, again folding the ends around to the back of the DSP
- Fold a piece of the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon in half and feed it through one of the holes in the tag – pull the ends of the ribbon through the loop
- Do the same with the other piece of Snowflake Splendor Ribbon
- Using your Snips, trim the ends of the Snowflake Splendor ribbon
- Place Stampin’ Dimensionals along the top and bottom edge of the tag
- Adhere the tag to the card front
- Finally, let’s add some SPARKLE!
- Adhere some Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to the card front – some on the DSP and some on the tag
- Use your Wink of Stella to add a little sparkle to the flourish-lines near the word “Sparkle”
This Paper is so pretty and you made it shine with the great sentiment layer.
Thank you so much, Jackie!!
Pretty card. The colors are peaceful and soothing, a nice contrast to reds and greens.
Thank you, Linda!!! I love these soft colors 🙂
I see the sparkle! This is one of my favorite color themes for Christmas cards. Yours came out absolutely beautiful! Bravo!!!!!
Thank you so so much, Pam!! (I’m also so glad that my page FINALLY let you leave a comment instead of telling you it thinks you’re a “bot” – that was so un-cool!!)
Your card is so beautiful, Joanne! I love the colors, and all those snowflakes. I also like how you tied the ribbon to the sentiment – different and clever!
