by Tracy | Dec 9, 2023 | Christmas Card
Today I’m sharing two cards with the same layout. To make both cards I used the Brightest Glow stamp set, Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper (available while supplies last), and the Labels Aglow Dies. This first card has a layer that has been embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Night of Navy cardstock and Basic White cardstock that was embossed using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. I cut another piece of Night of Navy cardstock and layered it with a piece of Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.


I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink and then cut it out using the Labels Aglow Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the Designer Series Paper. I added a rhinestone to the sentiment and then added two more to the center of two snowflakes.


Here’s the other version of the same card but instead of using an embossed piece of cardstock, I used Designer Series Paper.

Today I have two Christmas cards to share with you that were made using the same design. One was made using Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper and the other was made with Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper. Both cards were made using the Brightest Glow Bundle which includes the Brightest Glow stamp set and the Labels Aglow Dies. I also used the Whimsical Woodland 3D Embossing Folder.


For this first card I used Night of Navy cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Whimsical Woodland 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the base of the card. I also adhered a piece of Basic White to the inside. I cut two pieces of Night of Navy cardstock (the measurements I used are below the Supply List) and layered them with two pieces of Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper. I adhered the vertical piece to the front of the card but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the other before adhering it to the card.


I heat embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder and cut it out using the Labels Aglow Dies. If you aren’t sure how to emboss, you’ll find directions below. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the sentiment and adhered it to the horizontal piece. To complete the card, I added three silver Festive Pearls.


For this next card, I used Real Red cardstock and Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper. I also heat embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder and used Rhinestone Basic Jewels.



How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
Measurements
- Night of Navy or Real Red cardstock: 11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″

- Storybook Gnomes or Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper: (2) 3-1/2″ x 1-3/4″

I started with a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Lights Aglow 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and added it to the front of the card. There are so many beautiful designs in this package of paper!! Next, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then ran it through one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.


I used a different design of Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper to cut a tree using the Twinkling Lights Dies and adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock.


I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Evening Evergreen ink using the stamp set, Brightest Glow and cut it out using the Labels Aglow Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the upper half of the sentiment and adhered it to the left bottom corner of the rectangle. Next, I added nine Festive Pearls in Soft Succulent, all over the tree. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. Festive Pearls are currently out of stock but are estimated to be back in stock the week of November 21st.

Today’s card features the Brightest Glow Bundle which includes the Brightest Glow stamp set and the Labels Aglow Dies. I also used Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder before adding it to the card front. Normally I cut this piece of Basic White down a little bit but I cut it to cover the entire front (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List).
Next, I cut a piece of Real Red cardstock and layered it with a piece of Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.


Next, I cut a piece of Real Red cardstock and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Labels Aglow Dies. Then I cut a smaller piece of Gold Foil and adhered it to the back of the Real Red cardstock so the pretty gold foil would show through the holes. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.


I embossed the sentiment in gold onto Basic White cardstock using Versamark ink and the Brightest Glow stamp set (I have directions for heat embossing below). I cut it out using the Labels Aglow Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

To complete my card, I added three Festive Pearls to the front of the card. The Festive Pearls are currently out of stock but are estimated to be back in stock the week of November 21st.

Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Perched in a Tree Bundle which includes the stamp set Perched in a Tree and the Aspen Tree Dies. This bundle was unavailable for some time but it’s now in stock.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then cut a piece of Garden Green & another of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I then cut a piece of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper and adhered all three pieces to the front of my card.


I used the Aspen Tree Dies to cut two leaves out of Garden Green cardstock and one of out Soft Sea Foam cardstock. The beauty of these dies is that they not only cut out the leaves but they’re embossed too! I set the leaves aside and then stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Garden Green ink using the stamp set Perched in a Tree. I then cut it out using the Labels Aglow Dies.

I used Mini Glue Dots to attached the leaves to the sentiment and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.

I placed a Festive Pearl on each side of the sentiment and three more on the background.
