A Simple Trick to Creating with Stampin'Up! Sweet Candy Cane Bundle wtihout Stamping...
November 22, 2022
Today I"ll show you A Simple Trick to Creating with Stampin'Up! Sweet Candy Cane Bundle without Stamping the candy cane!!! About this time of year I'm looking for all the shortcuts I can find because I see Christmas looming quickly in our future...so here's the "tricky card"....
a bit of a different angle...
and a close up of the candy cane.
After seeing the card can you tell what the secret is to "no stamping?" Yes, we simply die cut the top white layer over the striped designer series paper (2nd layer). Pretty easy, right? The result is an awesome perfect cane without having to stamp and then die cut!
We added some sparkle with the greenery (from Mistletoe Magic dies) and the red rhinestones above the verse on the scalloped white circle.
The small "stripey" look of the gingham embossing folder seemed perfect to coordinate with the stripe in the designer paper for our candy cane!
So what's better than a lovely card that is so simple to create and looks like a million bucks? Well, stop back by on Friday (because Thursday you'll be eating turkey) and take a look at the awesome gift tag we created with this set!
For the next few weeks we'll be exploring other fun sets in the holiday mini--first with a card and the second design of the week will be a gift tag....keep following!
