H opeful Christmas card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Copper Clay Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of light brown diamonds on vanilla background design from O Holy Night 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 3/4" x 3-1/2" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 1" x 1-1/2" from Gold 12" x 12" Foil Sheets
Mount the Watercolor World stamp on Block F. Ink it up with the Copper Clay Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the horizontal O Holy Night Designer Paper rectangle.
Unlock the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the thin vanilla strip 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.
Mount the "joy & peace" sentiment from the Night Divine Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Copper Clay Ink Pad. Stamp it on the punched vanilla strip so it is centered top to bottom and is as close to the left edge as possible with the punched edge on the left side.
Adhere the stamped and punched sentiment strip to the stamped designer paper rectangle so the right edge of the sentiment strip goes off the right edge of the designer paper and the bottom of the sentiment strip is about 7/8" from the bottom of the designer paper.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off excess vanilla strip on the right side.
Adhere the stamped designer paper with sentiment strip attached to the center of the Copper Clay rectangle and then to the front of the Very Vanilla Thick card.
Pick out one of the small, single, 8 pointed star dies from the dies included in the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it on top of the gold foil rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the foil side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the gold foil star cut out to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the Middle East area of the map and the bottom point of the star overlaps the upper left of the sentiment strip.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a Copper Clay gem from the sheet of Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the gold foil star cut out.
