Christmas Gleaming Variety Bundle

Time to start thinking about Christmas cards and presents.  I bought the Christmas Gleaming Variety Bundle from the mini catalogue  August-December 2020..  Such a timeless set and can be used for cards in the southern and northern hemisphere.   It has a mix of all my favorite colours in this suite, in particular the Copper and Pretty Peacock caught my eye.

Whisper white card stock size: 21cm x 11.5cm folded in half

Pretty Peacock card stock size 10cm x 11cm.

Using copper cardstock I embossed with the "Greenery Embossing Folder" (from the Forever Greenery) suite and punch them out with "Gleaming Ornaments Punch pack". I punched holes in the top of each of the ornaments and threaded gold twine (from the Forever  Greenery suit)e and positioned them where I wanted them.  I embossed in copper the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set.

The box was made with both Pretty Peacock card stock and Specialty paper glued onto of one another as I needed something sturdy for the candle inside.  

The measurements of the box are (in inches sorry) 10 1/2" wide and 6 " depth ( see below).  The lid is just in Pretty Peacock and a left over piece of card stock as a band across all wrapped up with gold twine.

Hope you enjoy making this and can follow my instructions, if you have any questions please let me know.

Happy crafting!

Stampin' Up Forever Greenery Suite

I am a little bit rusty on blogging and video's as I had to step back from being a Stampin' Up demonstrator a couple of years ago.  I have rejoined and enjoying all the beautiful products again that are available and loving getting inkie fingers and crafty again.

The first thing I ordered was the Forever Greenery Suite.  Such a variety of coordinating products and lots of possibilities. Lots of elements in this suite can be used with other products in the catalogue.

I stated with making this simple very classic card.  This could be adapted to be a wedding card, engagement card, anniversary or birthday card.

What you will find in this suite is Gold Laser-cut specialty paper. That is where the fern came from. Also in the suite you will find gold hoops and there is also a combo pack of gold trim and vanilla ribbon.  There is also a beautiful stamp set included.

With this card I used  whisper white card, vellum as the background . On the vellum I embossed a sentiment from the stamp set in gold.  I then wrapped some gold trim around the hoop and tied it at the bottom, separating the trim out.  I chose the laser cut fern and with a glue dot attached it to the hoop and then attached the hoop and fern onto the velum.  With small dots of tombo glue I attached the vellum onto the white card stock. 

Hope you like this card, drop me a comment if you have any questions.

Happy crafting.
