Floral Christmas Card

This floral Christmas card was created using the Frosted Floral stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.  Who says you can’t combine flowers with Christmas?  Flowers probably wouldn’t be your first choice, but the Frosted DSP and Merry Merlot add that special wow factor.  Additionally, the second page of paper at the bottom has a winter feel.  Stamping the sentiment in Merry Merlot also brings the card together.

Meahwhile, you can re-create this Floral Christmas Card with the same products or what you have on hand.  Another great feature of the card is the different layers of DSP.  As a result, it brings color and layers to the card.  That is to say that layers can certainly bring a card to life.  In addition, using another pattern adds variety and will probably inspire others. after that.

Supplies
Stamp Sets: Candy Cane Season (147692 – photopolymer)
Inks: Poppy Parade (147050), Shaded Spruce (147088), & Gray Granite (147118) Classic Stampin’ Pads
Paper: Whisper White (100730), Poppy Parade (119793), and Shaded Spruce (146981) cardstock
Embellishments: Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewels (144220), Silver & Whisper White Silver Baker’sTwine (145569)
Other: SNAIL Adhesive (104332), Candy Cane Builder Punch (148011), Banner Triple Punch (138292), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Mini Glue Dots (103683), Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122234), Paper Snips (103579)

Measurements:

• Poppy Parade: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, scored and folded at 4-1/4” (card base)
• Shaded Spruce: 5-1/8” x 3-7/8”, and strip that is 5/8” wide
• Whisper White: 5” x 3-3/4”, strip that is 1/2” wide, and scrap for stamping the candy cane

Instructions:
  1. Stamp the ‘ho ho’ stamp onto the large piece of Whisper White cardstock using Gray Granite ink. Using your SNAIL, glue this piece to the Shaded Spruce cardstock, and then glue the entire layer to the card base.
  2. Stamp the striped candy cane stamp onto your scrap paper using Poppy Parade ink. Stamp the outline around it using the same colour. *Note* It can be tricky lining up the stripes with the outline. You may want to practice on scrap paper first, OR just stamp the lines without the outline.
  3. Punch the candy cane using the Candy Cane Builder Punch.
  4. Stamp the sentiment onto the strip of Whisper White cardstock using Shaded Spruce ink.
  5. Using the Banner Triple Punch, punch notches into the ends of the strips of Whisper White and Shaded Spruce cardstock. See the photo for placement of the sentiment because you don’t want to cut off too much cardstock as the candy cane will then cover the sentiment. Glue the two layers together, and trim to fit the card.
  6. Glue the stamped cardstock to the Early Espresso cardstock using SNAIL, and the entire piece to the Tranquil Tide card base.
  7. Adhere the sentiment layer and the candy cane to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  8. Tie a bow in a 6-8” piece of silver Baker’s Twine, and adhere to the candy cane with a glue dot. Add five rhinestones of various sizes to the card.

  • Use the Suite Season Specialty Washi Tape in the polka dot print over each of the gold stripes on your bag. Just cut the ends with your paper snips and rub your finger over the tape to the ends of the bag to make sure it sticks well.
  • Stamp your To: From: sentiment in the middle of your Whisper White tag.
  • Die cut the border using the die from All the Presents die set in Gold Foil Paper. Adhere that border to the bottom of the tag using liquid glue. Snip ends with paper snips to be even with the tag.

Then, attach the small window sheet bow (stamped side up) to the small glimmer paper blow using glue dots. The glue dots will be invisible. Do the same for the bigger bow. Attach the small bow to the bigger bow with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • Attach the bow combo to the top of the tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals and attach the tag to your 3D Gift Bag.
