So Very Merry Christmas Card

This is the first time I’m using th So Very Merry Stamp Set and I love the images, they look like stained glass. I stamped the image on Vellum Cardstock and colored with Stampin’ Blends. The yellow really shines nicely with the gold layer behind it.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Night of Navy Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Shining Brightly Speciality Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4 x 4. Wrap piece of Night of Navy & Gold ribbon around the layer, adhere to the back and adhere layer to card base.

  • Stamp the angel image with Black Stazon Ink on a piece of Vellum Cardstock. Let the ink dry and then color with Stampin’ Blends Markers. I used Dark Night of Navy, Light Boho Blue, Light Lemon Lolly and Dark Crumb Cake.

  • Fussy cut the circle. You can punch it or die cut it but I didn’t have the right size circle so I fussy cut it.

  • Cut the second from largest circle from a piece of Gold Foil Sheet and the largest circle from Night of Navy using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the stamped vellum circle to the gold circle and then to the navy circle.
    Tip - To adhere the velum to the gold, add a very tiny bit of Liquid Glue to the just the edge of the vellum circle so the glue doesn’t show through.

  • Adhere the circles to the card using Dimensionals.

  • Tie bow with ribbon and adhere with a Glue Dot.

  • Cut sentiment label from Night of Navy using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Stamp sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat emboss with Gold Embossing Powder. Since the sentiment is curved, you can stretch it across my clear block to get it straight. Adhere label to card with Dimensionals.

  • Add a gold Blooming Pearl to the sentiment label.

 
 

The gold accents in the paper along with the gold embossing and gold circle really give the card an elegant look.

 
 

On the inside layer (Basic White 5 1/4 x 4) stamp the sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat emboss with Gold Embossing Powder. The sentiment is from the Night Divine Stamp Set. Add a 4 x 3/4 strip of the Shining Brightly Specialty Paper.
