Gorgeous Words of Cheer Holiday Card


SI'd have to say I didn't really notice this set much when the July-December mini catalog came out, but then I saw other demonstrators using it and fell in love with the dies and realized with a little imagination I could use this set for way more than just Christmas cards. But today I wanted to make a beautiful Brushed Gold and Cherry Cobbler holiday card just for you! Big news from Stampin' Up today--on This WEDNESDAY 10/20 only, 15% off all cling stamps from the Annual Catalog. And I'm running a special that day also--spend $75 and use my host code https://www.stampinup.com?hostcode=T4BBGBPA and I will send you some Champagne Rhinestones, as I used on this card, for FREE. 

     But first, let's make a card!

Gather your supplies:
1. Cherry Cobbler cardstock cut 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" , a piece 4 by 5 1/4", a piece 2 by 4", and a scrap of 1/2"
2. Basic White cardstock cut 3 3/4 by 5" for the inside. 
3. Gold Brushed Metallic DSP cut 1 1/2" by 4", and some scraps for the stars and leaves
5. Stamp set--Words of Cheer (#156357)
6. Champagne Rhinestones (#151193)
7. Cherry Cobbler and Gold Ribbon (#156312)
8. Ink--Cherry Cobbler and Versamark
9. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (Multipurpose Glue, Tear 'N Tape or Seal Plus), Regular and Mini Dimensionals, heat gun and Embossing Buddy, Piercing Mat

      Fold your Cherry Cobbler card base in half

2.      Using Cherry Cobbler ink, stamp “Happy wishes to you and yours” and some holly on the 3 ¾ by 5” piece of Basic White and attach that to the inside.

3.      After swiping with your Embossing Buddy, use the big flower/leaf stamp and Versamark ink, stamp on the opposite corners of the 4 by 5 ¼” piece of Cherry Cobbler. Sprinkle with gold embossing powder and heat set with your heat gun.

4.      Wrap a piece of Cherry Cobbler and Gold ribbon around your Cherry Cobbler piece and attach on the back (I used Stampin’ Seal Plus, or you could use Tear ‘N Tape). Attach to your card base.

5.      Using the big Happy die, cut the back piece from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and the cut the smaller happy from Gold Brushed Metallic cardstock and glue them together. Watch my Facebook Live below for some hints on gluing these pieces together. Use mini Dimensionals on the back to attach to the card.

6.      Cut some of the leaves and branches from the Gold Brushed Metallic cardstock and glue them under the ribbon and the Happy. Glue 3 small gold stars around. Put some small Champagne Rhinestones in the center of the stars. Here's a close up of this:



 

7.      Stamp Holidays (or Christmas) on the ½” piece of Cherry Cobbler with Versamark and sprinkle with Gold Embossing Powder. Heat with your heat gun then cut the paper down to size. Attach the Holidays with Dimensionals to the card. Now just marvel at how beautiful it looks!



Here are some other cards I made with this same bundle to show you how to use it for more than just holiday cards.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
