C hristmas card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Real Red Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-9/16" of diagonal red, white, and brown stripes design from Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/2" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 2-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Frosted Gingerbread Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the lace line image from the Frosted Gingerbread Set on Block I. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it across the horizontal, large white rectangle so the scallops are on top and the bottom of the lace with the dots is about 1-1/8" from the bottom of the card. The ends will go off the left and right edges.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the front of the Real Red card.
If you haven't already done so, pick out the stitched rectangle die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies that cuts out a rectangle that is 1-13/16" x 3-1/8". Put it on top of the diagonal stripes designer paper rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered. Run through the machine. KEEP BOTH PIECES! You are using the stitched rectangle cut out on this card and the frame rectangle cut out on another card.
Adhere the diagonal stripes stitched rectangle cut out to the front of the card so it is centered over the stamped lace image and is about 3/4" from the right edge of the card.
Mount the "wishing you a Merry Christmas" sentiment from the Frosted Gingerbread Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the horizontal 1-3/4" x 2-1/4" white rectangle.
Pick out the stitched rectangle die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies that cuts out a rectangle that is 1-3/16" x 1-11/16". Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the sentiment. Run through the machine.
Adhere the sentiment stitched rectangle cut out to the center of the diagonal stripes stitched rectangle on the card front.
Mount the ornament image from the Frosted Gingerbread Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the large white square.
Pick out the matching, open, ornament die from the Gingerbread Dies. Put it on top of the stamped ornament on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the ornament is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the ornament cut out to the front of the card at a slight angle so the bottom of the ornament overlaps the upper left side of the sentiment rectangle cut out.
Cut a 3" piece of the Real Red 1/8" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card at the top of the ornament cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 rhinestones from a sheet of Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them in a rough triangle in the upper right corner of the card.
