Medallion Christmas Card

I don't know about you, but for some reason, I'm always shying away from the traditional Christmas card look.  I even don't care to use the traditional colors for Christmas cards.  When I saw the Medallion background stamp, all I saw was a funky, fun Christmas wreath!  And for me, Thoroughly Modern Designer Series Paper was just MADE for Christmas!

I created this card for a swap with my Heartfelt Stampers team of Stampin' Up! demonstrators all-day Stamp Fest this coming Saturday.  We'll meet in Irondequoit, NY, at our Team Executive's stamping studio for a day filled with stamping projects, all taught by various team members.  I'm teaching the faux alligator purse with a surprise inside!  I'll post the projects after Saturday's class, as well as all of the other projects we worked on.

Anyway, I digress!  On to how I made this card!

I began with Confetti White card stock.  I like this choice over our Whisper White for using as the base of the card because it's a bit heavier.  I stamped the Medallion background stamp in Bermuda Bay ink directly on the card, then stamped it again in Chocolate Chip ink on a piece of scrap card stock, then cut that image out and used Stampin' Dimensionals to mount it onto the card.  But before I did that, I punched out a piece of Rose Red card stock using the 1-1/4" circle punch, punched the center of that circle out with the 1/2" circle punch and added a white Basic Jumbo Grommet.  Then I tied a piece of 1" double-stitched grosgrain ribbon in Rose Red and used a mini glue dot to adhere it to the center.  The sentiment is from Four the Holidays, a terrific greeting stamp set in the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I cut off 1/2" from the bottom of the card front and mounted a couple strips of Thoroughly Modern Designer Series Paper to the lower inside part of the card.  Here's a picture:

Now off to design more cards!  I'll be back soon!

Christmas in July

We've all heard of Christmas in July!  I just had to show you two of my favorite new products from the new 2009-10 Idea Book & Catalog.  The minute I saw Thoroughly Modern, the gorgeous new designer paper using Rose Red, Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede and Sahara Sand, I thought of what fun and unusual Christmas colors they would make.  Then I ordered the new Level 1 hostess exclusive stamp set Holiday Best and knew the two would combine beautifully for just the right look for the holidays. 

This card was made easy by the new In Color Markers.  I was able to ink up three separate parts of the rubber stamp to create a multicolored main image.  Then I stamped it again and cut out the "Merry Christmas" and yes, the cardinal, too!  Aren't you terribly impressed with my paper snipping skills!  But I can't take all the credit.  My Stampin' Up! Paper Snips make it easy!  Both those images are popped up with dimensionals to add some more interest.  I used a Rose Red Button tied up with a bit of Linen Thread as an accent.  And, of course, the new In Color Polka Dot Ribbon finishes the card.

The main card stock is Soft Suede, one of the new In Colors.  And did you know the In Colors now come in 8-1/2" x 11" Textured Assorted Packets?  For just $.08 more per sheet, you can be using these beautiful card stocks on your projects rather than the plain card stock.  It doesn't show up that well in the photo, but believe me, it really puts a lot of pizzazz into your project.

Here's a picture of Holiday Best, Item No. 115364, an exclusive Hostess Level 1 stamp set. You can only earn, not purchase, this great little set, by either hosting a workshop that totals $150 or by placing your own order of $150 either online here or by emailing me your order at krisshuels@gmail.com.  I'd love to come to your home in the Finger Lakes area and show you more ways to use this versatile set.  Why not contact me to get your workshop on the calendar.
