Ornament Punch

The Ornament punch makes very quick X'mas cards as shown in this card. The Welcome Christmas stamp set was used and stamped first in cherry cobbler before punching the ornament out. Another ornament was punched from cherry and stuck behind the first to act as a shadow and make it pop out from the background. Perfect polka dots embossing folder was used behind the ornament. Elements of style was used as the stamped background to give it more of an old fashioned feel. Thx for looking,

More Contempo Christmas

Just some more of the X'Mas cards that I have been working on. I've been playing with all different ways in which to use the Contempo Christmas stamp set from Stampin' Up. The first card uses the colour combo of elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, Whisper white with some silver embossing. The Baroque Motifs set was also used for the flourish b/g.

The second card uses Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive with very Vanilla. Vintage Vogue, Tree Trimmings, Occasional Quotes Stamp sets were also used in the making of this card. The measurements for this Tri-Shutter Card were taken from the latest issue of the Stamping and Papercraft mag. It's a little hard to see in these photos but the hook for the ornament on the front of the card was cut from a silver paper clip. You can get three hooks from each paper clip. Be sure to use your craft and rubber scissors to cut through it though, and not your good paper snips.

X'Mas Cards

I just love making Christmas cards, and with Stampin' Ups Contempo Christmas stamp set it makes it all too easy. It is such an economical set to have with the verses also included and a matching punch for the ornament. There is even a wheel designed to perfectly co-ordinate both your cards and scrapbooking pages alike. For this card the tree and verses were used.

CARD RECIPE:

Stamps; Contempo Christmas.

Cardstock; Garden Green, Bravo burgundy, Night of Navy, Whisper white, Garden Green dsp.

Inks; Garden Green and reinker, Bravo Burgundy.

Accessories; cuttlebug embossing folder, spritzer bottle filled with a few drops of green reinker and water, eyelet border punch, sponge for edges of white, glue and dazzling diamonds, burgundy grosgrain ribbon.

For this tent topper card my folded base card measures 9.8cm x 21cm (before folding) making it quite easy to get 3 base cards from the one sheet of A4 cardstock. Make sure that when you put your tent topper peice on that it still fits within the measurements of your C6 envelope.

Latest X'mas Card

Well I could quote how many more days til X'mas, but I won't, I'm sure you all know how rapidly it is approaching. For this years cards I don't think I could through without the stamp set Contempo Christmas and matching Ornament punch. Here I have teamed it with the new colours of Pear Pizazz, Poppy Parade and Crumb Cake (yes Crumb Cake is the new name for Kraft, sounds much more yummy). I have also used the Petals a Plenty embossing folder which looks like tiny poinsettia flowers and of course the new scallop trim border punch. Throw in the co-ordinated In Colour designer paper and there you have it. For details on the measurments for the Side Step card you can check out Julie Davisons blog here which is where I cased the card from.

Loving this card, must make some more. Thanks for looking
