The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Ivory and Gold CAS Merry Christmas Card

Hello everyone!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) Christmas card to share with you.

Here is the card I designed.  This is a card that would be great to mass prodouce for your Christmas cards.  I didn't time myself but I am pretty sure it was less than 10 minutes start to finsih for this card.  I used pattern paper from the Carta Bella Merry Christmas Gold Foil 12x12 collection.  If you love tradition Christmas colors with the elegance of gold foil this collection is for you and it includes ivory, red and green papers.  I layered a piece of Bazzill - Gold Mirror paper behind the pattern paper.  Next, I cut a strip of Vellum and stamped the sentiment from the Stamp Simply Clear Stamps - SS-013 Jesus stamp set using Versamark ink.  Then I added Ranger - Super Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder and used my heat tool to melt and heat set the embossing powders.

I wrapped the Vellum around the two paper layers and adhered it to the back.  Then I added May Arts Gold Metallic String Ribbon and tied a simple bow on the front.  I used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Runner to adhere the card pannel to the card base.  I used ivory cardstock for the 5.5 x 5.5 square top folding card base.

To finish off the card I added some 5 mm Crystal Cup Sequins.  I used Ranger - Glossy Accents to adhere the sequins.  

I hope you enjoyed this CAS Christmas card.  Please be sure to stop by The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store for all of your paper crafting goodies and check out the Stamp Simply Blog for more inspiration from the design team.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope you have a fantastic Friday!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

Hello everyone and Happy Easter!!  Today, I have a sparkling card and a tutorial to share with you using Scrap Happy Sheer Glue and You're So Fine Glitter Diamond Clear Cool Highlights.  

Here is the card that I designed to share with you.  It is SO sparkly!!  I have some close up pictures so you can see all of the details.  How many of you love to use glitter paper?  Did you know that you can make your own glitter paper?  

Making your own glitter paper is so easy--you will love it!  I stamped the frosting image from the S-102 Hey Cupcake! stamp set from The Rubber Cafe`.  I used Pink Lemonade cardstock from DiscountCardstock.com with Rose Bud Memento ink from Imagine Carfts/Tsukineko.  Then I used a makeup sponge to apply Scrap Happy Sheer Glue over the entire image.

Next I applied You're So Fine Glitter Diamond Clear Cool Highlights over the entire image using my fingers to rub in the glitter.  The glitter is ultra fine and once you rub and buff it, it almost had the look and feel of velvet.  

Then I stamped the bottom half of the cupcake on to pattern paper from-Carta Bella™ True Friends 6 x 6 Paper Pad.  I stamped the flower, colored it with Copic markers and fussy cut all of the pieces.

I also made some glittery pattern paper.  Follow the same instructions as mentioned above using a makeup sponge to apply the Scrap Happy Sheer Glue.

Here is a close up of the paper--check out all of the sparkle! 

I used S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A, S5-132 A2 Matting Basics B and S5-156 Labels Twenty-Nine die templates to create all of the die cuts.  I added some pretty Celery Green Silk Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and Diva Pink Jellie Dots from The Rubber Cafe` to embellish the card.

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial for making your own glitter paper!  If you give the glitter paper a try post a comment with a link--I would love to see it!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi
