December is here and that means that the clock is ticking down the time we have left to get our Christmas Cards out in the mail. I have a fun One Sheet technique creating your own designer series paper to share today. I used the beautiful Christmas Season image stamp set, the limited time Framed & Festive sentiment stamp set, and the Season Labels dies to create these simply but lovely Christmas Cards. You can watch the Facebook Live replay of this project on my Facebook Page here or on my YouTube channel below.
Start with a Very Vanilla cardstock sheet. Stamp the images from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink (holly leaves), Sweet Sorbet ink (berries), Old Olive ink (leaf sprig), Soft Suede ink (pinecones), and Soft Succulent ink (pine sprig) in a cross pattern on the Very Vanilla cardstock sheet.
Then cut the stamped sheet into four panels (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″).
Then trim down each panel (5 1/4″ x 4″) on the stamped side creating strips to add to the inside and back of the cards.
Create an Old Olive cardstock top fold card base. Cut a Sweet Sorbet cardstock panel. Glue a stamped & trimmed Very Vanilla cardstock panel to the Sweet Sorbet cardstock panel. Wrap the panels with Old Olive Twill ribbon using Stampin’ Seal to secure the ends on the back and then glue the wrapped panels to the card base.
Die cut a Very Vanilla cardstock and Old Olive cardstock label with the Seasonal Labels dies. Stamp the sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp set in Old Olive ink on the Very Vanilla cardstock label. Cut the Old Olive cardstock label in half long ways with paper snips and use Stampin’ Seal to add the Old Olive cardstock label’s halves to the sides of the stamped Very Vanilla cardstock label. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the labels to the card front overlapping the wrapped ribbon. Tie a small bow in the Old Olive Twill ribbon and use glue dots to add the bow to the left side of the labels overlapping the Very Vanilla cardstock label in line with the wrapped ribbon. Add Adhesive-Backed Season Sequins to the label and cards front.
Don’t forget to add a Very Vanilla cardstock inside panel to write your message. Stamp the sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp set in Old Olive ink and add a stamped (left over cut off) strip on the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
