Peace on Earth Christmas Card 2012 – Stamping With Guneaux Designs

Have you finished making your Christmas cards for this year?  If not, I have a Peace on Earth Christmas Card for you that is an extremely easy Christmas card to make.

Snowflakes are so beautiful on Christmas cards, don’t you think so?  I have two retired Stampin’ Up! snowflakes stamp sets so I didn’t purchase the beautiful Snowflake Soiree stamp set in the current Holiday Catalog.  I decided to use the two sets that I have to create this card.  You can use any snowflake stamp set to create the same card.

Are you thinking that snowflakes are not red?  That’s the beauty of paper crafting.  You can create artwork the way you want it and it doesn’t have to reflect reality.

This is a closeup of the sentiment on the Peace on Earth Christmas Card.

Supplies used to make the Peace on Earth Christmas Card:

Stamp Sets:  Snowflake Spot (retired), Snowflakes (retired), and Greetings of the Season

 Ink:  Real Red Classic (126949)

Instructions for making the Peace on Earth Christmas Card:

  • Cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Whisper White Card Stock,
  • Randomly stamp snowflakes in Real Red Classic Ink onto the Whisper White Card Stock (see picture),
  • Cover the card stock with VersaMark,

  • Cut out the sentiment with the Extra Large Oval Punch,
  • Attach the sentiment onto the embossed frame with Dimensionals,
  • Adhere the sentiment onto the upper-right of the Whisper White Card Stock (see picture), and

Stampin Up Holiday Stocking Christmas Cards

I want to share today my darling Christmas cards that I made for my grandson and granddaughter that feature the Stampin Up Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die.

 
 
Stampin Up Holiday Stocking

 When I make cards for my grandchildren, I make them exactly the same. I don’t want one of them to think my affection for the other is different, which it isn’t. I love my grandchildren so immensely! I wish the love that every child receives could be equivalent to or more than my intense love for my children and grandchildren.

Now, let me share information about the cards. The primary papers used are the Red Glimmer and Silver Glimmer Papers. The insides of the cards (text covered) feature a design from the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper, and include more Red Glimmer Paper.

I left the inside top of the Stampin Up holiday stocking’s toe unglued so I could insert a gift.

The back side of the cards features the same design from the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper.

Enjoy using your Stampin Up Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die!!

Deck the Halls DSP

Stampin’ Up! made a superb business decision when it offered the Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper (DSP) (item 120810). I am so in love with the quality and beauty of this paper, and so many other products featured in the Holiday Mini. I have so enjoyed making cards with this DSP.

The following card features the Deck the Halls DSP on Always Artichoke (item 105119) and Cherry Cobbler (item 119685) cardstock (love, love Cherry Cobbler). The mat behind the sentiment from the Peaceful Season Hostess stamp set (item 121124) and the corners were dry embossed with the Stampin’ Up! Petals-A-Plenty textured embossing folder (item 116824). The “cannot live without” Big Shot Die Cutting Machine (item 113439) was used in the embossing process. For embellishments, I used the Silver (item 120994) and Clear (item 120993) Tinsel, and the Stampin’ Up! rhinestones (item 119246). What a beautiful card with so little product.
The card below, featuring another design in the Deck the Halls DSP, is beautiful also. I am enjoying working with the Stampin’ Up! Waffle Paper (item 120985), which is the “mat” behind the bells stamp from the gorgeous Bells and Boughs stamp set (item 121142). The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. This card is embellished with the bling-bling of the Real Red Glimmer Brads (item 121006). The Always Artichoke and Cherry Cobbler cardstock was used, as well as the Stampin’ Up! Champagne Glitter Glass (item 120997).
The following beauty features yet another design of the Deck the Halls DSP. I embossed the paper using the Embossing Buddy (item 103083), VersaMark (item 102283) and Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (item 109130). The Tags til Christmas stamp set (item 121169) was used for the ornament, which is embossed with the Iridecent Ice Emboss Powder (item 101930). The Basic Gray cardstock (item 121044) was cut with the Big Shot and Top Note Bigz Die (item 113463), modified, and embossed with the Petals-A-Plenty embossing folder. The embellishments are 5/16″ Silver Brads (item 112534), Silver Tinsel, Silver Glass Glitter (item 120995), and 5/8″ Basic Gray Satin Ribbon (item 117666) that is painted partially with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint (116806).

I think pairing the Basic Gray and Cherry Cobbler is quite striking. Hope you enjoy!

God’s Blessings!
