Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set and Be of Good Cheer DSP Christmas Card

Posted on December 14, 2012 by Beverly

I cannot get enough of making cards with the Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set (128051) from Stampin’ Up! (SU)! My opinion is that this set is one of SU’s best sets for the season. For today’s card share, I have coupled the Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set with the Stampin’ Up! Be of Good Cheer DSP (126896).

The picture below provides a side view, including the inside, of the card.

This picture shows the dimensions of the card.

Stampin Up Ornament Keepsakes

Posted on November 13, 2012 by Beverly

I think that the Stampin Up Ornament Keepsakes (128051) stamp set and its matching Holiday Ornaments Framelits (127816) are my favs in the Stampin Up Holiday Catalog. I love any Christmas-related rubber stamp, but I especially love ornament rubber stamps. The card I am sharing today features both of the Stampin Up products.

Center the appropriate Holiday Ornament Framelit (shown in above picture at the bottom left) onto the center of the embossed Whisper White Card Stock and run it through the big shot.
Cover with VersaMark Ink the appropriate Ornament Keepsakes stamp (shown in above picture at the top left) and stamp onto Whisper White Card Stock (do this twice).
Cover with Gold Embossing Powder and set with the Heat Gun.
Using the appropriate framelit, cut out the two ornaments.
Center the embossed Whisper White Card Stock over the center of the Brush Gold card base (use temporary adhesive to keep it in place).
Cover with VersaMark the word, Merry, on the “Merry Christmas” sentiment stamp from the Come to Bethlehem stamp set and stamp it in the area shown in the first picture above.
Do the same with the word “Christmas” and stamp in below the “Merry” that you just stamped onto the card base.
Remove the Whisper White embossed card stock.
Cover both words with White Embossing Powder and set with the Heat Gun.
Using a gold marker, ink around the ornaments and the Whisper White card stock.
Adhere the Whisper White card stock to the card base.
OPTIONAL: Cut two small pieces of Always Artichoke card stock and using scissors, cut at an angle down both sides of each piece to create a branch. Add glue and dazzling diamonds in the middle to create snow.
Use twine, cord, or other thread and attach to each ornament, and attach dimensionals to the back side of each.
If you made the branches, use dimensionals to attach at the top of the Whisper White card stock, wrap the cord (attached to the ornaments) around the branches according to the picture.
Remove the paper from the dimensionals and adhere the ornaments to the card front as shown in the first picture above.
