R2Go Christmas Card Kit - White Felt Ornaments

Another Christmas Stack kit ready to go.

This is the same layout as yesterday's but in cool blue colors.


I started with the felt ornaments.  I selected the snowflake and the reindeer.

I then selected cool designer paper with white in the pattern.  Then a coordinating card base cardstock which is duplex paper with excellent colors was selected. I adhered the designer paper to the card front leaving a small border.

I added some 1/8" silver metallic ribbon in the ornament hanger. A silver star brad holds the ornament to the card front. I cut some silver foil paper with the 2.75 inch Spellbinder Nestabilities in smooth circles. Then I aligned that silver layer between the white ornament and the designer paper then glued it down.

I designed a greeting for the Stampin Up Artisan Label punch.  The greetings are coordinated with the card base color.  Adhered with 3D foam tape.

The card above details are as follows:

• Snowflake White Felt Ornament
• Echo Park Paper Co. - Winter Park by Lori Whitlock - Gondola  (Four 6x6 patterns)
• Warm dark blue card base
• Greeting in Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze

Welcome Card

We are welcoming a new family to our church this morning and I made a card for the occasion.

I started with a dark brown textured card.  I added a piece of red cotton ribbon across the card just above the middle and taped the ends to the inside.  I cut a medium blue scallop circle with Spellbinder Nestabilities then its corresponding smooth circle in white card stock.  These were adhered together to create the first layer.
I created a second smaller scallop circle with deep red and white.  I cut the greeting circle with my Creative Memories cutter because aligning SB Nestabilities is difficult.  I used a plastic canvas circle to align my paper piercing circle.  I glued the greeting to the red circle then added the handmade paper blue flower on the right side with a mini brad.  I then took a length of red cotton ribbon and created a flag off the bottom right hand side.  I matched these with card stock flags from the same card stock as the first scallop circle.
Both scallop circle elements were adhered with 3D foam tape.  Check out this post for the cool tool plastic canvas.

Gold Glitter Sunburst

I managed to cut the Stampin Up Sunburst Thinlit die from something other than yellow card stock.  It`s gold glitter so it was not too much of a stretch.  I placed it on it`s side so it does not look so much as a sun, which helps.  This is a birthday card for a young lady who is growing up quickly.  I started with a white card.  I added a layer of purple which was adhered to the card front.  I adhered the gold glitter sunburst die onto the card front and trimmed the rays to the card edge.  I added a sentiment made up of a Spellbinder Nestabilities scallop circle No.2 from the center of the large set cut from hot pink and a color printed greeting which coordinates. 

Card Club - March - Sunburst Birthday

I started with a royal blue card.  I cut the background red checkered gingham designer paper at 4.00 x 5.5 inches leaving the small border.  I adhered it to the card front. I cut the warm yellow sunburst with the Stampin Up Sunburst thin die and adhered it to the card front and trimmed the rays to the edge of the card.  The greeting is a combination of a scalloped circle in the same color cut with the Spellbinder Nestabilities Large Circle set - No.2 from the centre.  The greeting is color printed the punched with the 1 3/8 inch Stampin Up punch.  These are glued together then the greeting is adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape.

Thinking of You Sunburst

I made this card for a lady who has significant health issues.  Her name came across my desk this morning and I thought I should just send a card to let her knowing I'm thinking about her.

Can you guess I love my Stampin Up Sunburst Thinlit?  It makes bright cheery cards fast and easy.  I had cut the designer paper to 4 inches so I needed a layer that wide to make it work.  I added 4" the green layer onto the warm yellow card then I I adhered my bright sunburst.  I created a sentiment accent with Spellbinder Nestabilities Large Circle Set - 1 scallop circle and 1 smooth circle then the greeting which was color printed and then punched with the 1 3/8 inch circle from Stampin Up.

I hope it finds her well.

Sunburst Birthday Wishes

I purchased the Stampin Up Sunburst Thinlit during Sale a bration. I love this die!! Makes a great looking card in a hurry.

I chose a navy card and cut a scalloped circle with my Spellbinder Nestabilities Large Circle Set No.2 from the center from the same card stock.  I cut the sunburst from yellow designer paper.  I quite sure it's by Basic Grey. I designed a large circle greeting and printed and punched it out with the SU 1.75" circle punch.  I wanted something between the card and the sunburst.  I decided on vellum. I printed a bit of texture onto the vellum, heated some gold embossing powder then trimmed to leave a small border. Adhering of these layers was challenging because not wanting the glue to show through the vellum and the rays on the sunburst.

I've checked out samples on line and the next time I use it I will make it with another color.
