Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple 219

Christmas Magic Theme!

Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week and for this month, this is our theme:

I went a little crazy with my layers as I created my card and was like “oops, this was supposed to be a simple card”. It’s still quite easy to replicate though:

I ended up using a pop of Poppy Parade Cardstock to bring out the other colors:

Stampin’ Up! Products Used:

• Stamps: Delicate Pine Snowflakes
• Inks: Azure Afternoon, Pecan Pie
• Cardstock: Azure Afternoon, Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Shaded Spruce
• Designer Paper: Elegant Pine Snowflakes
• Tools & Accessories: Delicate Snowflakes Dies, Faceted Snowflakes, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Card Recipe:

• Card Base: Azure Afternoon Cardstock 11 x 4-1/4. Score and fold at 5-1/2.
• Layer 2: Poppy Parade Cardstock 5-1/4 x 4. Glue to card base.
• Layer 3: Elegant Pines Snowflakes Designer Paper 5-1/4 x 3-3/4. Glue to card front.
• Layer 4: Azure Afternoon Cardstock 5 x 2. Use the pine needles die to cut in the center. Set aside.
• Layer 5: Shaded Spruce Cardstock 4 x 1-1/2. Glue to the back of the spruce diecut so the color peeks through on the Azure Afternoon layer. Glue to card front at the left with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

• Pinecones: Stamp 3 pinecones on Crumb Cake Cardstock with Pecan Pie Ink. Cut with the die. Glue around the small snowflake with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Berries: Cut 3 berries with the die and Poppy Parade Cardstock. Glue around the snowflake and pinecones flat.
• Sentiment: Stamp the sentiment on Crumb Cake Cardstock 3-1/8 x 1/2 with Pecan Pie Ink. Cut into two lines of text. Glue to the right of the small snowflake with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
