The Bells are Ringing – Christmas Card Tutorial

It is yet another grey and ugly day in Lincoln. I have this gorgeous Bells are Ringing Christmas card to share with you. Bad weather days are perfect for crafting I think. What do you think?

I haven’t used this set yet and now I wish I had. These bell dies are beautiful. They are intricate and cut so cleanly. I didn’t have to pick out any bits from them. This card is very simple but the sentiment does ring out a true note of Christmas. It is my favourite sentiment from the Merry Christmas To All stamp set.

measurements

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Night of Navy cardstock – 14.35cm x 10cm
  • Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 9.5cm x 7cm
  • Whisper White – 9cm X 6.5cm

This blog post will go live on the 2nd of December. I am doing it early though as I have to take my mother to Queens Medical Centre for an eye appointment. They are going to put a dye in her vein that will go up to her eyes so they can verify whether her macular generation is wet or dry. I think it’s wet in this eye though, as I am sure that is what Moorfields in London told us.

Back to a lighter note, have you started making your Christmas Cards yet? Do you still make many? I feel the decline in card giving in the last of years is quite sad. I love receiving a card with a personal message from someone.

Oversized Merry Christmas Tag – Stampin’ Up!

I have this lovely oversized Merry Christmas tag to share with you today. This tag can double as a card and tag as there is lots of space on the back to write your message. It is big and bold and yet has a very vintage feel to it.

The colours in this tag are the Real Red and Garden Green. They have been my number one Christmas colours for a number of years. The background colour is not white but very vanilla which gives a softer more shabby chic feel to the tag.

I have just stamped the tab but you could have heat embossed this with clear embossing powder to give a glossy finish. You could even use silver or gold embossing powder for a more metallic bling effect.

Measurements

  • Garden Green – 4 1/4″ X 5 3/4″
  • Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 4″ X 5 1/2″

Although you can’ see I have stamped the back of the tag with “To & From” from the Memories of Home stamp set. I’ve used both real red cotton ribbon and very vanilla lace trim which adds to the shabby chic feel of the tag.

I have used again the Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper. (DSP) I love this paper. It’s elegant, bright and has foiled elements. What is not to love? Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler are great Christmas colours. They are complementary colours on the colour wheel and really make each other pop.

The stamp set is Merry Christmas to All and is a set from the main annual catalogue. It is a great sentiment set for Christmas. I love set with bold and large sentiments as they make for quick and easy cards.

measurements

  • Cherry Cobbler A6 cardbase (This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Wrapped in Plaid DSP- 14.35cm x 10cm
