Embossed Tree – Memories of Home – Stampin’ Up!

Hello again, thank you for dropping by. I have this heat embossed tree card to share with you today. This whole card is one stamp from the Memories of Home stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

Embossed Tree – Memories of Home – Stampin’ Up!

I’ve embossed this tree in silver embossing powder for a simple metallic look. I found the tree looked a little dull in just silver so I decided to colour in the baubles. I’ve used our standard Stampin’ Write markers to colour in. Colouring is super easy as the embossing helps you stay within the lines.

The whole image is matted on a piece of Wrapped in Plaid DSP. This paper has foiling one side and gorgeous patterns on the other side. As the foiling is in gold I decided to use the non-foiled side. The finishing touches are these wonderful Holiday Rhinestones that look like twinkling fairy lights around the tree.

Measurements

  • Shaded Spruce A6 Cardbase – (This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Whisper White – 12cm x 9cm
  • Wrapped in Plaid DSP – 14.35cm x 10cm

I love Christmas Trees. We normally have 3 in the house, one in the lounge, one in the hall and a third one in the upstairs hall. I’ve always enjoyed decorating them and enjoy the process as much as the finished product.

I’ve used Shaded Spruce as the green in this card. I sponged the wreath with Shaded Spruce to give the wreath some definition. The red rhinestones give it a nice bit of bling.

I love background stamps. I don’t think we always use them enough in cardmaking. The one used here is called Birch and gives the effect of an old wooden door.

Measurements

  • Shaded Spruce A6 Cardbase (This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Whisper White 14.35cm x 10cm

I love wreaths at Christmas time. I have a few around the house. There are two fabric ones that I made out of scraps of fabric. I cut each piece of fabric into a square and then fold and stitch them to create a leaf. Each wreath has about 100 of these fabric leaves.

There are a video tutorial and supply list as always.

Wrapped in Plaid Punched Trees Card

I have another Christmas card to share with you today. This one is super easy and quick to make, using the Wrapped in Plaid DSP. I am glad that Stampin’ Up! is still investing in new punches even though the trend for dies has taken off. Punches make crafting quick and allow crafting away from home.

I love this new tree punch. It has a matching stamp set and they are sold as a bundle for a saving of 10%. The paper I’ve used is the Wrapped in Plaid designer series paper (DSP). This DSP is one of the 6″ X 6″ pads. It has foiled elements on one side and simple patterns on the other. It is a great stack of paper to make cards well as mini albums.

As the Wrapped in Plaid DSP has gold foil elements I decided to heat emboss the sentiment in gold to match. My favourite element, however, is the holiday rhinestones. They twinkle across the card like fairy lights. I am definitely going to buy another pack of them.

Measurements

  • Cherry Cobbler A6 Cardbase (This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm x 10cm

I love the pinks in this card. They are Melon Mambo, Rococo Rose and Lovely Lipstick. These colours all work so well together. I’ve given this card some bling with rhinestone centres for the flowers.

These little flowers from the Pop of Petals set are a great way to use up all those scraps we have lying around our craft rooms. A card like this one is great for children to make as they can stamp all the flowers and punch them out. They can have great fun arranging and glueing down all the flowers and leaves however takes their fancy.

I love peacocks. This card is very simple as it is using the “Royal Peacock” as the main focal image on top of designer series paper (DSP).

measurements

  • Coastal Cabana A6 cardbase ( A6 is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Bermuda Bay DSP from the Brights 6″ X 6″ stack – 10cm x 14.35cm

When I live in London, I was working very close to Holland Park and there are peacocks in Holland Park. They are very tame and in the Spring they love to display to anyone who is watching. I have numerous photos of them displaying. They turn around in a full circle so that everyone can get a good photo. They have a very distinctive squawk which can be heard through the whole park.

I remember one year, there were babies and my workplace had a competition to name the four new babies. It was very exciting to see the new baby peacocks.

I gave the peacock a beautiful rhinestones tail to display just like the peacock in Holland Park.

I have a video and supply list below for you.

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!
