Q uick and easy Christmas card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Whisper White Thick Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic Black Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of We Three Kings sheet music design from Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2-3/4" x 4-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/8" x 3-1/8" from Basic Black Cardstock
- 2" x 3" from Whisper White Cardstock
Adhere rectangle of Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper to large rectangle of Basic Black Cardstock and then to front of Whisper White Thick card.
Mount the drummer boy image from the Musical Season Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Basic Black Archival Ink Pad and stamp in the center of the 2" x 3" white rectangle.
Adhere the drummer boy rectangle to the black rectangle.
Adhere the matted drummer boy rectangle to the front of the card so it is centered and about 1/4" from the top of the designer paper layer.
Mount the "spirit of the season" sentiment on Block H. Ink it up with the Basic Black Archival Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining white rectangle.
Mount the "Peace Joy Love" sentiment on Block H. Ink up only the words using the brush tip of the Basic Black Marker. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp just under the previously stamped sentiment so it is centered.
Tip: Use the brush tip of the Marker and make small marks on the clear block on either side of the sentiment. When you stamp, you'll be able to see the marks on the block to let you know where the words are and help you line things up. Or, you can use a Stamp-a-ma-jig if you prefer!
Pick out the label framelit from the Lots of Labels Framelits that cuts out a 2-1/8" wide label. Place the stamped sentiments on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the label framelit on top so it is centered over the sentiments. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use the side of the brush tip of the Basic Black Marker to lightly outline the edges of the label.
Adhere two small silver Metallic Foil Doilies to the back of the label so they just peek out around the ends.
Adhere the label/doilies layer to the card front so it is centered and overlaps the bottom of the matted drummer boy image just a bit.
Add a large Rhinestone Basic Jewel to either end of the label.
