Vintage Christmas Baubles

 

I had fun making this pretty frilly Christmas card. I was one of my class cards this month and I think my class ladies enjoyed it too.

The baubles are punched from the Brushed Metal card stock with the Bauble Punches. Two of the baubles are dry embossed with the Hammered Metal and the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing folders.

It's a bit hidden by the Lace and the Linen ribbon but there is one of the beautiful Gold Hoop embellishments tucked in there that the baubles are attached to. 

The holly leaves and the gold berries have been cut using the Poinsettia Dies. The background Very Vanilla card stock was embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder.

The greeting is from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set and was heat embossed in Gold Embossing Powder.

All of the products I used to make these cards are listed below and are available in my online store. If you have any questions or comments about my project please contact me.

                         

Thanks for visiting,

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Art With Heart Blog Hop October - Embossing Folders

Welcome to another Art With Heart Blog Hop. This month we are featuring Stampin' Up's! versatile range of Embossing Folders. There are new Embossing Folders available in every Stampin' Up! catalogue and they are an inexpensive way of adding WOW! to your projects. Currently there are 24 different Embossing Folders in the range.
Tonight we plan on showing you ideas on how to use these folders.

The card I have for you tonight uses two Embossing Folders, Subtle 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder. I almost missed the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder as it is in the Holiday Catalogue with the Halloween stamp sets, on page 53. I'm not really into Halloween, but I intend to use this folder for many other projects.

                                 

For best results when using the Stampin' Up!'s 3D Embossing Folders; use the 3D Embossing Folder Plate; it adds a little more oomph to your die sandwich to make those 3D designs pop.

The front panel of the card was cut to fit inside one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies which I used to cut the Gold Foil shape. This panel was embossed using the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder.

Another piece of card stock, 10x 14.3cm, forms the background of the card and was embossed using the Subtle 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
The large bauble from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set was heat embossed in Gold embossing powder on Gold Foil. The small bauble and the holly sprig were heat embossed in Gold on Very Vanilla card stock. Both bauble were punched out using the coordinating punches. The holly sprig was coloured using an Aquapainter and was then hand cut.

For the base of the card I used the Very Vanilla Thick card stock as it is less flimsy than the standard Very Vanilla card stock. I cut one A4 piece in half length wise and then scored at 14.8cm and 7.4cm to form a Z fold card.

The card front was then attached to the base.
The greeting was heat embossed in Gold on Very Vanilla card stock, hand cut and attached with Dimensionals.

Thank you for visiting my blog, I hope you enjoyed my card.

Heart Of Christmas - Week 4

It's Wednesday night and it's time for another dose of Christmas inspiration with the Art With Heart Team.

For tonight's cards I have used the beautiful new Delicata Metalic ink pads that are in the Holiday Catalogue. I have used the Celestial Copper colour as it co ordinates perfectly with the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP.

The reindeer on this card is from the Dashing Deer set, which is in the Annual Catalogue.

After the reindeer was stamped on Pretty Peacock card stock it was cut out and mounted on a Stitched Nested Label Die cut in Very Vanilla. These inks do require a few minutes to dry before using so that the images do not smudge.

I used a piece of the Classic Weave Ribbon across the base of the card as a greeting.

The second uses the Delicata Metalic Ink Pad with the Christmas Gleaming set. The baubles were stamped on Pretty Peacock and Night of Navy and then PUNCHED OUT with the coordinating punches. I LOVE that this set comes with coordinating punches instead of dies. It's very convenient for efficient card making.

The background card stock was embossed with the Scripty 3D embossing folder and the tag was punched using the Scalloped Tag Topper punch and Banner Triple punch.

Again I used the beautiful Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP and the final touch was a bow from the Old Olive/ Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon.

For more Christmas inspiration head to Claire's Blog for a full list of tonight's participants.

Don't forget...

Happy stamping and thank you for visiting,

Rachel
