Q uick and easy Christmas card using heat embossing and Stampin' Up! products,.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and foil sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" from Pecan Pie Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Garden Green Cardstock
- 1" x 1-1/2" from Gold Foil Sheets
Pick out one of the Garden Green cards from the Gold Dipped Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes and fold it in half.
As you are ready to stamp using the Reindeer Fun Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the mom and baby deer image from the Reindeer Fun Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Early Espresso Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Pecan Pie rectangle.
Pick out the matching, mom and baby deer die from the Reindeer Fun Dies. Put it on top of the stamped deer image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the deer cut out to the front of the card as shown so it is about 1/2" from the right side and about 1" from the bottom.
Rub the Embossing Buddy included in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit over the Garden Green rectangle.
Mount the "Christmas is better together" sentiment from the Reindeer Fun Set on Block C. Ink it up with the VersaMark Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the horizontal Garden Green strip.
Lay the sentiment stamped rectangle in the center of the Powder Pal included in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit. Sprinkle on some gold powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder so it covers the sentiment completely. Tap off excess powder. Return the excess powder to the container to use again later.
Heat the powder with the Heat Tool on the highest setting until it is completely melted (shiny and smooth).
Tip: Use the Crafting Tweezers included in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit to hold the cardstock while you are heating it so you don't burn your fingers.
Unlock the Modern Oval Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment punch out to the front of the card as shown so it is about 5/8" from the top and about 5/8" from the left edge.
Pick out the set of two jingle bells die from the Reindeer Fun Dies. Put it on top of the foil sheets rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the jingle bell cut outs to the front of the card as shown so they overlap each other a bit and are tucked under the lower left side of the sentiment punch out.
Cut a 9" piece of the gold ribbon from the Gold & Silver 1/8" Trim Combo Pack.
Tie a small bow in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon bow to the front of the card a shown at a slight angle so it is centered over the tops of the jingle bells.
