Greetings friends!
Today I'm sharing some Christmas cards that I made using some OLD and NEW supplies. Old stamps and embossing folders, paired up with New stamps and designer series papers.
My first card features some hand-cut candy canes from the Sweetest Christmas designer series papers. I've paired it with the greeting from Reindeer Greetings (OLD stamp set), and the Swirls & Curls embossing folder (old).
This design is also a good way to use up a lot of small bits of paper. I cut these 1" x 3", and glued them down in different directions. The greeting is also glued down flat, and the candy canes are popped up.
Paper measurements:
- Sweet Sorbet: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4".
- Sweet Sorbet: 4" x 5 1/4", embossed with Swirls and Curls folder
- Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
- Sweetest Christmas Designer Series paper: (5 prints) 1" x 3", plus candy cane prints to hand-cut
- Basic White: 1" x 5 1/4"
I finished off with some OLD Snowflake Splendor ribbon and some red/gold sparkly gems that I can't think of the name of right now. :(
Stamps: Reindeer Greetings
Ink: Garden Green
Paper: Sweet Sorbet, Basic White, Sweetest Christmas Designer Series paper
Other: Snowflake Splendor ribbon, red/gold glittery gems
For my next batch, I'm still using the OLD Reindeer Greetings for the focal image, but I've paired it with "merry christmas" from the NEW Framed & Festive. Old embossing folder is from Sizzix, and New-ish papers - Painted Christmas (which is on the Last Chance sale right now for only $4.80!!!).
Embossed background with a 2" strip of designer series paper down at the bottom. Then the focal image stamped and layered with a coordinating color.
Paper measurements:
- Shaded Spruce: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4".
- Shaded Spruce 4" x 5 1/4", embossed with Adorned Tile folder (Sizzix)
- Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
- Painted Christmas Designer Series paper: 2" x 5 1/4"
- Basic White: 3" x 3 1/4"
- Early Espresso/Real Red: 3 3/16" x 3 7/16"
Again, I finished off with the glittery red/gold gems that I can't think of the name.
