Today we're Creating Another Beauty Using Stampin'Up!Translucent Florals Bundle & Secret to Great Images! Tuesday we released the December Free Card Kit using this set--if you missed it check it out here Click here to view the FREE Card Kit Info

Today's creation...

closer...

These stunning images are created with millions of tiny dots....when stamping you may encounter larger dots at times. This doesn't detract from the image but if you  prefer smaller dots...here are 4 Secrets to great images.

*Use ink pad that is not super inked (too much ink gets into the spaces & coalesces into larger dots)
*If your ink pad is heavily inked, use "stamp off" technique to remove a bit of the ink before stamping final image.
*When inking stamp--don't push stamp into ink pad--use the tap, tap, tap technique (not pound, pound, pound)--this loads stamp with sufficient ink but not overloading.
*When stamping image--use only moderate pressure--don't squish stamp onto cardstock--moderate pressure delivers just right amount of ink.

The background for this card is lightly textured with the Timeworn Type embossing folder & a lovely design from Inked Botanicals DSP to layer the stamped die cut images.  The bit of gold shine is a sprig found in the Magical Meadow die set.  Lastly it's "tied" all together with the Calypso braided twine (NOT carrying over --nab it now!).

Stop back next Tuesday to contnue our 6 Weeks of Christmas--Week 4!

Today we're in Week #4 (Part 2) of Christmas Creating a Gift Tag & Gift Card Holder Combo with Stampin'Up! Merriest Trees. Tuesday we created a lovely card using this set along with Joy of Christmas..if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card

Today we're combining a cute tag incorporated with a gift card holder!

Here's this little cutie...

Now, insert the gift card...

here's the really cute part....

this is where you can write your message along side that perfect tree shaped greeting!

So, you purchase a nice mug, wrap, beribbon, add this tag & pop in a gift card--not only does the recipient have something fun to open --they also have a gift card for spending...AND, they think you're a genius for creating this tag/gift card holder combo! Does it get any better?

This design is really 2 pieces--the backing & then the smaller piece scored in the middle & slicing off a diagonal piece. Looks like a million bucks but very simple.

The trick is to adhere the smaller piece to the backing with Tear & Tape around the sides & bottom edge so there's plenty of room to insert the gift card without it sticking to the tape.

I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.

Stop by next week--we're taking a one-week break from our 6 Weeks of Christmas for something special...come check it out on Tuesday.

Remember:

*Use this month's regular host code (CT9QZ26K)  you can earn $5 in Stampin'Up! product (I choose) for every $50 in product (excludes shipping & tax). 

Directions:

1. Cut Thick Basic White carstock 3 1/4 X 4 1/4; cut blue with white trees design (a Walk in the Forest DSP) 3 1/4 X 4 1/4; adhere to white backing.

2. Using a 1/4" hole punch hole in top center.

3. Using the Very Best Trio punch- punch each top corner with the diagonal cut.

4. Cut Basic White 2 3/4 X 6 1/2, score long side at 3 1/4.

    *Placing the fold on the left side, mark down left edge (folded edge) 1 1/4". Place the top right corner & the left "mark" in the trough of the paper trimmer -slice off that piece.

Today we're creating Week 4 of Christmas Featuring Stampin'Up! Joy of Noel & Merriest Trees in Holiday Card!  This card combines a couple of fun sets along with two beautiful papers from the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper.

Here's today's design...

& a closer view...

Both the marbled red & the marbled green are from the Joy of Christmas DSP...they add just enough interest to grab your attention but not so much that they draw your eye away from the focal point.

We've used the largest greenery & berry image in the Joy of Noel set...a beautiful classic image. We then added a bit of Distressed Gold tiny holly leaves to spark up the arrangement. Tucked behind the greenery die cut are two double pine sprigs in gold foil--they just peep out the side enough to add festivity & keep the attention on the focal point.

The greeting is just the perfect size & shape for the lower right corner & using the gold embossing powder makes it festive and stunning. Speaking of festive we embellished just a bit with 3 gold Festive Pears that sprinkle some shine to the right side of the card.

I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.

Stop by Thursday to see what project we'll create with one of these bundles.

Today we're creating Week #3 (Part 2) Christmas Featuring Stampin'Up! Sending Cheer Bundle - Simple Gift Card Holder. Tuesday we used this set to create a cute card--if you missed it check it out here...Click here for Tuesday's card.

Here's the Gift Card Holder...with the gift card peeking out...

here's the backside...

& here's a closer look...

The base for our gift card holder is a Basic White envelope--quick, simple, easy--just seal, slit off the end and die cut the thumb hole.

All that's left is the decorating!

We added a layer of red topped with the argyle design from the Shining Christmas designer series paper (Online Exclusive paper).

On the white stitched circle we added Santa's hat (all dies from the Sending Cheer). We used small Olive glitter sequins to cover the hanger hole created by the die and to decorate the remainder of the hat.

The verse is stamped in Old Olive and surrounded by Dazzling snowflake die cuts (Wishes All Around).

This is probably the simplest gift card holder base you'll ever tackle ---and one of the cutest!

I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.

Stop by next week to see what set we're playing with then!

Remember:

*Use this month's regular host code (CT9QZ26K)  you can earn $5 in Stampin'Up! product (I choose) for every $50 in product (excludes shipping & tax). 

Directions:

1. Seal a white envelope and on one end using the smallest stitched circle die, cut a thumb hole (half circle). Cut off about 1/8" from the entire end of the envelope.

2. Cut 5 1/2 X 4 Real Red cardstock; adhere to the "sealed" side of the envelope--this leaves the back plain and pretty

3. Cut the argyle pattern (Shining Christmas) 3 7/8 X 5 1/4; center over red layer.

4. Die cut 2 3/4" stitched circle (Stylish Shapes) from Basic White cardstock; adhere to center of dsp.

5. Stamp verse in Old Olive ink in lower right quarter.

6. Die cut the hat base from Real Red and the cuff & pompom from white; color with Wink of Stella. Adhere to hat. Use small Olive glitter sequin to hide the die cut hole in the hat- add 3 more to complete the polkadot pattern. Adhere completed hat to circle with dimensionals.

7. Die cut 3 small snowflakes (Wishes All Around) from More Dazzle (silver) paper; adhere to circle--see photo for placement
