S imple, fun Christmas card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Garden Green Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 2" x 5-1/2" of green and red ornaments and bells on white background design from Be Merry Designer Series Paper
- 3-1/4" square from Real Red Cardstock
- 3-1/4" square from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" from Garden Green Cardstock
Adhere the Be Merry Designer Series Paper strip to the front of the Garden Green card so it is about 1" from the top.
Pick out the scalloped edge square framelit from the Layering Squares Framelits that cuts out a scalloped edge square that is 3" wide. Place the Real Red square of cardstock on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform at the highest setting on the Big Shot. Place the scalloped edge square framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the scalloped red square to the center of the designer paper strip on the card front.
Cut a 5-1/2" piece of Garden Green 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon. Trim the ends at opposing angles so the finished piece of ribbon is about 5" long.
Lay the ribbon across the red scalloped square in the center so the ends poke out on either side across the designer paper. Adhere the ribbon in place with a piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive laid across the ribbon in the center of the square. Leave the protective backing in place for now.
Stamp the "Merry Christmas" sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Set in Real Red Ink across the center bottom of the Whisper White square.
Pick out the stitched square framelit from the Stitched Shapes Framelits that cuts out a stitched square that is 2-5/8" wide. Place the stamped sentiment square of cardstock on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the stitched square framelit on top so it is centered over the sentiment side to side with the sentiment at the bottom. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Add some SNAIL to the back of the sentiment square. Peel off the protective backing holding the ribbon in place on the card front and adhere the sentiment square to the center of the red square.
Pick out one of the bell images from the Seasonal Bells Set and ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. With the green strip horizontal in front of you, stamp the bell image on one side of the Garden Green strip. Ink up the stamp again and stamp it on the other side of the strip.
Unlock the Bell Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide one of the stamped bells into the punch. Carefully line up the bell so it is centered in the punching area. Punch. Repeat with the other bell image.
Adhere the two bells to the center of the white sentiment square so they are over the sentiment and overlap each other at the top.
Cut an 8" piece of the Real Red trim from the Mini Tinsel Trim Combo Pack.
Tie the tinsel trim into a small bow. Trim the ends.
Adhere the bow to the top of the bells using a Mini Glue Dot.
