Welcome back to day 8 of the 12 Days of Christmas where I am sharing the Sentimental Wishes Bundle. This bundle is all about nostalgia and traditional Christmas!
Thanks for joining my friend Brenda Nelson and I for our 12 Days of Christmas series. Brenda has been posting over at Stamps & Stretchy Pants, and we have been sharing a post a day to inspire your holiday crafting.
Have you been hopping along with us? If you have missed any of our posts, go back to Day 1 and catch all of our projects! Then drop us a comment, we would love to know your favorite!
I love this bundle! I am not sure if it’s the images or the sentiments, but to me, this is as classic as it gets. And the images look amazing just stamped or stamped and colored. All paired with this font, which is one of the best! I could not let this one go.
Since I promised easy, I’m going with one of my go-to card layouts. When I want to make a card quickly, I use a 3″ x 4″ centered layer. Simply done. You can jazz it up with embellishments or additional layers (like the Festive Glimmer Paper here), but if you are ever stuck, or need to make a card quickly, this layout is a keeper!
To Make this Project
Card Base – Real Red 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Take a Bow Designer Series Paper – 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 3″ x 4″ (coordinating patterns)
Festive Glimmer Paper – 3 1/8″ x 4 1/8″
Basic White – 4″ x 5 1/4″ for inside layer, and a piece for the label and stamped image
Adhere larger piece of designer series paper to card front. Layer smaller piece of designer series paper with glimmer paper and adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Die cut label using the Something Fancy Die Set. Stamp sentiment in Garden Green ink. Adhere ribbon to back of label and adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp candle image in Garden Green ink. Color with Stampin’ Blends Markers and Wink of Stella, than adhere to label with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish with peppermints. Adhere inside layer and stamp inside sentiment in Garden Green ink.

Welcome to the November Color Fusers Blog Hop and Day 4 of 12 Days of Christmas where I am sharing an adorable card made with the Decorative Trees Bundle.
What’s more fun than doing a color challenge with the Color Fusers? Why, combining it with the 12 Days of Christmas, of course! This month’s color challenge is definitely not traditional Christmas, so it was a double challenge for this project. However, I think it’s adorable. What do you think, would you use this for a Christmas card?
And we are already on day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas! I have been sharing with my friend Brenda Nelson from Stamps & Stretchy Pants. Are you hopping along with us? We are taking turns sharing a project a day to inspire you for 12 straight days. This hop is always so fun, and I hope you love what we are creating!
Texture
Today’s project has a lot of it. I used the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder on the background layer, than added the incredible die-cut tree from the Decorative Trees Die set cut with Foam Adhesive. This creates amazing dimension on the die-cut. Since this die-cut is so detailed, when layered with the embossing folder, it really creates a WOW!
I also added extra texture behind the circle by adding die-cut pine boughs.
It’s hard to see the detail on the trees in this die set, but they are quite amazing! And I love that they layer with the stamps and other dies in the set. Since they are so delicate, I highly recommend using Adhesive Sheets when you die-cut them. This makes adhering to your projects a snap, with no sticky messes!
The fun continues inside the card. You can easily bring your design to the inside of your card. For this project, I repeated the color and design elements, which creates a cool surprise when you open the card.
To Create this Card
Card Base – Thick Basic White 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
Glimmer Layer – White Glimmer Paper 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
Embossed Layer – Basic White 3 3/4″ x 5″ embossed with Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder
Circle – Basic White cut with 2nd largest Stylish Shapes Circle
Trees – die cut (3)* from Fresh Freesia Cardstock
Bows – die cut (2) from White Glimmer Paper
Wrap ribbon around embossed layer and tie in a knot. Adhere embossed layer to glimmer paper, then adhere to card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Blend Azure Afternoon ink on a die-cut circle, excluding the very bottom. Die cut (3) trees, use Foam Adhesive* on one and Adhesive Sheet on the others. Trim bottom off one, and adhere to circle with foam backed tree. Embellish trees with Tinsel Gems and glimmer bows. Stamp sentiment in Berry Burst ink. Cut words apart and adhere to card front. Stamp sentiment inside card in Berry Burst ink. Blend Azure Afternoon ink in corner inside card. Adhere 3rd tree.
