Don’t you want to pick those little gold rocking horses off the tree?  They are so cute!

How to create the Home for Christmas DSP Christmas Card:

  • Cut an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla Card Stock (*#101650) and fold it in the middle.  This creates an A2 card.
  • Cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Stampin’ Up! Real Red Card Stock (*#102482) for your first card layer.  I used an EK Success corner punch and punched the four corners on mine.  (This, of course, is optional.)
  • Cut a 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ piece of the Christmas Tree design from the Stampin’ Up! Home for Christmas DSP for your top card layer.  Try to ensure a Christmas Tree is in the center of your cut.  (Mine is off a little and I did not notice it until I had the card finished.  Oh well, that’s life!)
  • If you want to add a little dazzle to the Christmas Tree design, do as I did:  1) add glitter glue (e.g., red Stickles) on the packages with red ribbons, 2) add gold gel ink on the packages with gold ribbons, and 3) add sequins strategically on the tree.
    • TIP:  If you add sequins, please use a strong adhesive or they will fall off your paper.  I used gold sequins from Stampin’ Up! Metallic Sequin Assortment (*#138390) and Stampin’ Up! Crystal Effects (*#101055) to adhere mine to the card.  I know, Crystal Effects is a lacquer, not an adhesive!  Well, let me tell you, it is a great adhesive; it just takes some time to dry.
  • Adhere your card pieces together and add a sentiment.
  • You are finished and you have a simple and easy Home for Christmas DSP Christmas card!!

Now, wasn’t that easy?  Have a blessed and wonderful day!

HOME FOR CHRISTMAS DSP CHRISTMAS CARD

Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper Blue Poinsettia

It is a delight to share with you my Stampin’ Up! Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper Blue Poinsettia Christmas card.

Stampin’ Up! Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper:

Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper Blue PoinsettiaHave you seen blue poinsettias?  Here’s a picture of a group of them.  Aren’t they pretty? They are beautiful to me, but maybe that is because I love the color blue.  I guess there are a lot of colors of poinsettias.

Back to my card!  The card measures 4-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ which is an odd size.  I made it this size so I could get on the card the elements I wanted.  Besides the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper, the card also features Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia dies and Spellbinders Curved Borders Two dies.  For the left side of the card, I used the mistletoe design from the Stampin’ Up! Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper, Spellbinders Curved Borders Two Dies, and Stampin’ Up! Pacific Point Card Stock.

This picture is a closeup of the poinsettia that I created with the Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia dies.  I embossed the poinsettia with Stampin’ Up!’s Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder (101930).  I added a small amount of yellow and green glitter glue (i.e., Ranger Stickels) onto the center of the flower.  To further enhance the poinsettia, I added some “branches” behind the flower.  I used Martha Stewart’s Branch Medium Punch to create the branches.  The poinsettia sits upon an oval floral die cut from the Spellbinders Oval Floral dies.

Home For Christmas Designers Series Paper-Blue Poinsettia

I used the Spellbinders Curved Borders Two dies also for the inside of the card. Instead of using the Pacific Point Card Stock, as I did on the card front, I used the mistletoe design from the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper when using the Curved Borders dies.
