P layful Christmas card using sneak peek products from Stampin' Up!
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Granny Apple Green Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of rows of white "Fa La La La" on red background design of Merry Bold & Bright 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the lines of words are horizontal on the horizontal rectangle
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" from Granny Apple Green Cardstock
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 3 strips each 1/2" x 3" from Basic White Cardstock
Adhere the piece of Merry Bold & Bright Designer Paper to the front of the Granny Apple Green card. Make sure the words are right side up.
Pick out the rounded corner rectangle die from the Nested Essentials Dies that cuts out a 2-3/8" x 3" rectangle. Put it on top of the Granny Apple Green rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Mount the moose image from the Festive & Fun Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white rectangle.
Pick out the rounded corner rectangle die from the Nested Essentials Dies that cuts out a 1-15/16" x 2-5/8" rectangle. Put it on top of the stamped moose rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Place the moose rectangle cut out on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Dark and Light Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends to color in the moose's sweater.
Use the Dark and Light Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends to color in the moose's antlers and hooves and the base of the pudding.
Use the Dark Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends to color in the platter.
Use the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends to color in the holy leaves.

Unlock the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of one of the thin white strips into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the smaller scallops) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch. Repeat on the other two thin white strips.
Mount the "happy Christmas wishes" sentiment from the Festive & Fun Set on Block H. Carefully ink up ONLY the word "happy" using the side of the brush tip of the Granny Apple Green Stampin' Write Marker. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp the word on one of the punched white strips so it is close to the left edge with the punched edge on the left. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave the stamp on the block.

Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy and put it away..
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the stamped and punched sentiment strips and the matted, colored moose image on the front of the card to figure out spacing and placement as shown. Once happy, adhere the pieces in place one at a time.
Cut a 4" piece of the White 1/2" Iridescent Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot at a slight angle to the front of the card so it is centered over the bottom right corner of the matted moose rectangle cut out.
Use the white Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics to color in the icing on the pudding and to draw a snow squiggle under the moose's feet. Set aside to allow to dry.
