Stampin' For Christmas Monthly Blog Hop

 

Stampin' Up! Wreath Builder Dies - Christmas card

Welcome to this months Stampin' for Christmas  Blog Hop, 

and first hop of 2021 we are a group of  Stampin' Up! Demonstrators 

from all over the world sharing Christmas 

card making & Papercraft ideas with Stampin' Up! Products

Here is what I made for todays hop

I'm such a traditional Christmas card maker! 

Its always red and green for me! so today I challenged myself

with a non christmassy colour scheme! and this card couldn't be 

further from that! I saw this Christmas door on Instagram

and LOVED it and I set to recreate it for todays card, 

Inspiration comes from all places! 

How welcoming is this!

So if I'm totally honest I don't generally make Christmas cards all year round, 

that or I start with the great intentions and then stop!

So this hop is great to keep me making Christmas cards 

all year round as so many crafters do make them all year round, 

and maybe if your more like me then this will give you the inspiration 

you need to make them all year round! 

Think just 2 a month and come December you'd have 24 cards!

I absolutely loved making this card and love how it turned out

to create the door background I used Blushing Bride Cardstock

for the card base and the layer on the front, 

I cut the layer 1.5cm smaller than the card front and before 

cutting it into the 4 pieces, I used my Blushing Bride and Whisper White

Ink pad and dragged ink down the cardstock, with a light pressure 

it created the graining look.. worth having ago if you've never tried it!

To create the wreath I used the Stampin' Up! Wreath 

Builder Dies and cut 3 wreath layers in Mossy Meadow 

cardstock and one layer in Basic White cardstock

I then carefully assembled them together and adhere in place 

over the 'Door', all the little flowers are cut from the flower dies also 

in the Wreath builder die pack, I adhered these randomly

over the wreath and added some gold gilded gems to the centres of each.

I then flicked with a water painter tip and 

frost white shimmer paint all over the 

door and wreath, whilst this was drying, 

I heat embossed the banner greeting 

with gold embossing powder onto Blushing Bride cardstock.

I then adhered the banner on to the wreath.

I couldn't resist adding a little 

Blushing Bride Twine bow to finish!

I hope our Hop today inspires you to just 

make one Christmas card this month!
