Christmas Card Challenge - Silver / Large Greeting

It's time for another set of Christmas cards to keep me on track for November. I'm at 50 which is not half way to what I need so I will have to pick up the pace.  I have a class scheduled for June 6th so that should help.

The challenge for June was Silver and Large Greeting. I color printed the greeting. The small evergreen tree is Always Artichoke and the tree stamp from the Stampin Up Festival of Trees set. The large greeting is printed in black on vellum and then embossed with silver detail powder.   I chose a warm forest designer paper - Provocraft - Once Upon a Forest.  The paper was trimmed to leave a small border and placed on a grey green card which matched the designer perfectly.  I added a sparkly silver glitter swirl brad to fill in the open space and repeat the silver color.  I did several greetings and Winter Wishes was one of them.  There are some people that are not as crazy about Christmas as I am so a few cards with out Christmas on it helps to fill that gap in my card collection.

Super happy with these and they were very quick to make. 

Pop Up Gift Card Holder

I'm working on gift card holders for last minutes gifts.

For this one, I used the Stampin Up Card Base Pop'n Cuts Die.  The card stock is River Rock with Holiday Thyme designer paper cut with the Top Note die.  I added an Ornament punchie stamped with the Delightful Decorations ornament in Cherry Cobbler on Very Vanilla.  I added a bit of Cherry Cobbler twine.  I created the dip in the pop up with the Word Window punch.  I added a piece of DSP which matched the front then a sentiment from the Festival of Trees stamp set. I followed up with the rest of the sentiment on a piece of Very Vanilla which I cut again with the Top Note.

I love the way this card closes with the tabs in the slots. 

R2G Card Kits - SU - Festival of Trees

Another Ready2Go Card kit for a kid's Christmas Party!

This kit has a Ruby Red card base.  I cut the greeting layer to 4.00W x 5.25T and created it with the Festival of Trees Stamp Set.  The tree outline is included on this layer.  I provided a white triangle tree cut to 2 7/8 W X 3 7/8 T onto which strips of Certainly Celery card stack was adhered.  Once I was happy with I just trimmed the green to the edge of the white triangle with scissors.  I adhered the strip tree onto the card front using the outline printed on it for alignment. The gold glitter stars were cut with the Sizzix Stars#2 die. I trimmed the pot with scissors leaving a small border all the way around. I adhered sequins on my tree then added the gold glitter star and the red pot with 3D foam tape.

I provided plenty of green strips and sequins to meet any kid's desire.

SU Festival of Trees - Folds

This card was made with the same supplies as this card kit and the layout of this card.

The designer paper is Stampin Up Be of Good Cheer.  The card is Cherry Cobbler.  The card front is scored at the half way point and folded back to the left.  A piece of DSP is applied to the flap.  The square accent is done with the Festival of Trees stamp set with the polka dot tree and the first half of the greeting on the front and the rest on the inside.  The sentiments are done on layers are Very Vanilla. 

Ready2Go Card Kits - SU - Good Cheer Tree

This card kit features paper from the Stampin Up Be of Good Cheer Designer Paper which includes Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green.  Using a CC red card base I added a Distressed Dots background to the card front.  I layered a piece of 2 x 5.5 inch designer paper across the center of the landscape card.  I layered my Festival of Trees in Gumball Green stamp with it's accent dots in Cherry Cobbler done on Very Vanilla onto a layer of green leaving a small border.  I cut a piece of Satin Stitched ribbon in the color to match the card, placed it behind the accent then adhered it to the card front as shown.
