Lights Aglow Christmas Card


I know it is probably hot where you are, but I also know that some of you like to get started early on your holiday cards, so I thought I would help out! I couldn't wait to work with this suite, especially because my upline and friend, Peggy Noe and I are having a Christmas in July retreat on 7/23 from 11:30-3:00ish and are using the Lights Aglow suite for our afternoon of play. This will also be available as a class to go if you want it mailed to you--please email me at stampwithdrrobin.blogspot.com for more information. 

 Let's make this gorgeous, sparkly card. First, gather your supplies.

1. Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes--FREE in July and August with a $50 purchase
2. Silver & Gold 6 x 6" Specialty Paper-- FREE in July and August with a $50 purchase, cut 3 by 5 1/2"
3. Glimmer 12 x 12" Specialty Paper--cut a tree and 2 pieces 1/2 by 5 1/2"
4. Parakeet Party --for tree and inside sentiment
5. Stamp Set--Christmas Lights (#159538 or the bundle #159961), Brightest Glow (#159542 or the bundle #159552)
6. Dies-- Twinkling Lights (#159541) and Labels Aglow (#159551)
7. Ribbon--Gold & Vanilla 3/8" Satin-Edged Ribbon (#159555)
8. Red & Green Adhesive Backed Pearls (#159963)
9. Ink--Sweet Sorbet, Flirty Flamingo, Soft Seafoam, Parakeet Party
10. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue), Regular Dimensionals, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, Blending Brushes, Stampin' Seal Plus

Using your Blending Brushes, and the Gold Polka Dot Specialty Paper, start at the top with the Soft Seafoam ink and blend about 1/4 of the way down. Then use the Parakeet Party ink, then Sweet Sorbet, then Flirty Flamingo ink, blending as you go down. Glue the 1/2" strips of Gold Glimmer paper to the back of this DSP, letting about half of the Glimmer paper show, then glue this to the folded Soft Sea Foam card.

Cut the tree, with the insert with the holes and the outline, from Parakeet Party and also die cut the wide label from the Labels Aglow. Die cut the tree (use just the outline) and the star topper from the Gold Glimmer paper. Glue the Parakeet Party tree to the Gold Glimmer paper (glue definitely works best), offsetting them a bit like below. Glue the Gold Glimmer star to the top of the tree. Run a strip of Stampin' Seal Plus on the card front where your tree will cover and zig-zag the Gold & Vanilla 3/8" Satin-Edged Ribbon as below and attach your tree with Dimensionals.


For the inside, use Sweet Sorbet ink to stamp a sentiment on the Parakeet Party label and attach with adhesive. Using the same ink, stamp a few snowflakes to the bottom, or all around if you prefer. 
No need to decorate an envelope as they are already decorated!

  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

Something Fancy Before I get to making this card, I want to announce that I am selling Mystery Boxes of retired Stampin' Up product. These are a medium sized USPS Priority Mail box and they will be stuffed with product. Each box will include a minimum of 10 Stampin' Up stamps and at least 2 of them will be a bundle with either a die set or a punch. They will all have at least one retired embossing folder as well as embellishments and ribbon. You won't know what you are getting, so if you like surprises and getting over $250 worth of products for only $50, please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. If you don't recognize this Designer Series Paper or the sentiment and dies, it is because this is a sneak peak at the Something Fancy bundle from the upcoming Jan-April Mini Catalog that goes live next month. As a Stampin' Up demonstrator, I am able to order from the catalog early. I just had to show you this beautiful set, as well as the Fancy Flora 6" by 6"

One Horse Open Sleigh Card We have a lot of wonderful things starting 7/6/23 over on Stampin' Up. First up is everyone can now buy several new products that are On-Line Exclusives, including this lovely 6" by 6"  Designer Series Paper called One Horse Open Sleigh. It is made to go with a new horse and sleigh stamp set, but as you can see, it is beautiful on its own. It has lovely wintery scenes on one side and nice small images on the other side. Perfect for holiday cards, but also great for other types of cards. Today I decided to make it in to a birthday card that you can use for a male or female birthday.  Another thing that starts 7/6 is we get a Clearance Rack refresh so check it out for some amazing deals. Last, but not least is Bonus Days--for every $50 you spend for the rest of July, you get a $5 coupon to use in August. Yay! Free stamping products!  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies  1.
