Window Christmas Quilt Card

-
The idea for this card came from a Stampin' Success magazine demonstrators receive, although I tweaked it a little.

I found that a large Post-It note was a big help in lining things up just the way I wanted them. I also discovered that the stamps used have to line up just right, so be sure you turn the stamp according to the way the square was cut from the front of the card.

The first step on this card was to place the framelit on the 4-1/4" x 11" card base just below the score line (5-1/2"). There is a Whisper White liner inside the card (4" x 5'1/4"). I used the layering square framelits for cutting my Whisper White and Real Red card stocks for inside the card. When I finished stamping and adhering the unit, I lined them up beneath the "window" and firmly pressed a Post-It note across the window and stamped piece. Leaving it attached, I ran snail across the back of the Real Red scalloped square and then closed the card, pressing firmly. Remove the Post-It and attach the dsp and ribbon. Stamp the verse inside the card.

You Mean Everything to Me

As much as I prefer scanning my cards over photographing them, I find there are some disadvantages. My little banner that is stamped with "you mean everything to me" loses the 3D look as it gets flattened by the cover of the scanner. Kyla and I were just playing around with ideas while she was visiting (did I mention, she's my new recruit?) and this was one of the cards I designed. Gathering the ribbon slightly, cutting out the heart image and folding and trimming the "banner" across the heart meant a little extra fussing, but I really like the result. When I was all finished with the card, I decided to add a little sparkle by spraying it with a mixture of Champagne Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol. If you look closely, you can see some of the sparkle that added to the card, including the ribbon. When you actually hold it in your hands, you can see the glittery shimmer much more easily. Although I'm thinking about Valentine's Day, this card is not exclu

The Christmas Quilt bundle has so much versatility! I'm still using the Blooms & Bliss designer paper from last year's catalog as I design these cards. Today's post uses different designs from the pack from Saturday's post. Once again you can see the variety acquired using the same papers. The greetings on both these cards, as on so many others, come from the Best Birds stamp set. I love the fonts and arrangements of the word stamps in that set.  Products Used:  Best Birds photopolymer stamp set (13), 141525, $21.00 Quilt Builder Framelits Dies (15), 144673, $30.00 Quilt Top 6" x 6" Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, 144687, $8.50 Blooms & Bliss 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, discontinued Mint Macaron 8-1/2" x 11" card stock, discontinued Island Indigo 8-1/2" x 11" card stock (24), 122923, $8.00 Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" card stock (40), 100730, $9.00 Island Indigo Baker's Twine, disco

Easter Daffodils

"You're Inspiring" stamp set is perfect for Easter or Mother's Day or sympathy or almost any occasion. With Easter approaching, that holiday was the obvious choice. This card uses two Sale-a-Bration items as well as the "You're Inspiring" stamp set from the Occasions Catalog: the Basket Weave embossing folder and the Springtime Foils Specialty dsp. And of course I used the Stampin' Blends! I'm wondering if I'll ever use my markers, now that I have experienced the 3D effects of our blends that also allow me to color with no streaks. Unless you have the Springtime Foils dsp, you may not realize that the leaves on this sheet are not green.  You can color this glossy paper with metallic designs using your Stampin' Blends, which is what I did here. Products used: You're Inspiring rubber stamp set (8), W 145805, $27.00; C 145808, $19.00 Daffodil Delight 8-1/2" x 11" card stock (24), 119683, $8.00 Old Olive 8-1/2" x
