Shimmery, Frosty Floral Cards

 

Frosted Floral handmade friendship cards featuring Stampin' Up! First Frost stamp set and Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint by Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

 

These lovely friendship cards feature the gorgeous Frosted Floral specialty paper from Stampin' Up! which has a gorgeous shimmery coating on one side of each 12x12 sheet, so I decided to shimmer some cardstock and punch out the Sprig Punch leaves to add even more sparkle to my cards!

 You will find this gorgeous Frosted Floral paper HERE online and on pg 37 of your 2018 Holiday catalog, and the coordinating stamp set just above it on pg 37, or HERE online (for clear mount).

 

Crafting Tip for Shimmer Paint and Stampin' UP! Sprig Punch!!  Spritz cardstock, let dry, then punch out shimmery leaves!!  www.PattyStamps.com

 

CRAFTING TIP!

Use a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint in your Stampin' Spritzer then spritz your cardstock. Let dry, then punch out images.. so pretty!!  Haven't tried it yet?  be sure to WATCH MY VIDEO HERE.

 

Shimmer Paint Tip!!  Label sponge dauber and Stampin' Spritzer with Brother P-Touch labeler for each color of Shimmer Paint. www.PattyStamps.com

I love to keep my shimmer paint, a sponge dauber and the matching spritzer together in baggies.  It saves on "search time" in the craft room .. if you know what I mean. :)

Tip Sheet from Patty Bennett

 

I used these Stampin' Up! colors:  Blackberry Bliss, Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow.

 

Frosted Floral handmade friendship cards featuring Stampin' Up! First Frost stamp set and Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint by Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

 

ABOVE: can you see the pretty shimmery punched leaf sprigs and the strip of Mossy Meadow cardstock that is also shimmered? ?  I love it!

I have stamped the greeting image from the Southern Serenade set and floral images from the First Frost stamp set and die cut them with the matching Frosted Bouquet framelit dies.  They are available as a bundle at 10% off!! 

Added Design Note:  layer the stitched shape circle framelit onto a pearlized doily.. it gives such a pretty, shimmery scalloped border!

Frosted Floral handmade friendship cards featuring Stampin' Up! First Frost stamp set and Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint by Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

The top fold card base is Pear Pizzazz cardstock, cut at 4-1/4" x 11" and folded in 1/2.  The 2 pieces of Frosted Floral designer paper are 4x4 and 4 x 1-1/2", with a 1/2" wide strip of shimmered Mossy Meadow cardstock in between.

You could easily replace the Mossy Meadow strip with some pretty ribbon, too!

Alpine Adventure Christmas Card Idea

 I had this idea in my head to die cut the Alpine Adventures sled with Stampin' Up! Wood Textures paper.. and I really love how these projects turned out!! I created Christmas card designs and a sweet pillow box for a small gift or gift card!

 

Alpine Adventures wood sled Christmas Card ideas featuring Stampin' Up! cardmaking supplies & Tin Tile and Corrugated Embossing folder, by Patty Bennett www.PattyStamps.com

 The Alpine Adventure stamp set and matching Big Shot framelit dies are available as a bundle at 10% off - check out page 11 of the 2018 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog or HERE online.

 

Alpine Adventures wood sled Christmas Card ideas featuring Stampin' Up! cardmaking supplies & Tin Tile Embossing folder, by Patty Bennett www.PattyStamps.com

 In addition to making dozens of cards with this bundle, I also used the same basic supplies to decorate a Pillow Box - it's the perfect size for a small gift, some chocolate, some JEWELRY!! :) or a gift card!

Alpine Adventures wood sled Christmas Pillow Box idea featuring Stampin' Up! supplies, by Patty Bennett www.PattyStamps.com

TIP!!

Before die cutting the Alpine Sled, add an Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Wood Textures designer paper, then die cut.  That way you can just peel the backing off and adhere it right to your project!!

Big Shot Die Cutting Tip for the Alpine Adventures wood sled featuring Stampin' Up! Adhesive Sheets and Wood Textures designer paper, by Patty Bennett www.PattyStamps.com

 

I always like to get all my cutting, embossing, scoring, die cutting and stamping done first, then I assemble my cards.

 

Supplies for my Alpine Adventures wood sled Christmas Card featuring Stampin' Up! cardmaking supplies & Tin Tile and Corrugated Embossing folder, by Patty Bennett www.PattyStamps.com

 

I couldn't decide on which embossing folder to use for the background.. my original thought was the Corrugated folder but then I tried the Tin Tile Embossing Folder and loved that too!

The Merry Christmas greeting is found in the Festive Farmhouse stamp set, stamped in Real Red.

Watercolor Pencil Coloring on Country Home Stamp Set

 Coloring is therapy to me.. I love to color.  So I love the outline image stamps from Stampin' Up! and I tried out my Stampin' UP! Watercolor Pencils on my Country Home stamp set and love the results!!  I used a Blender Pen to soften and blend the colors on the Whisper White cardstock.

 

Coloring with Watercolor Pencils and the Stampin' UP! Country Home stamp set.  Handmade card by Patty Bennett featuring the Tin Tile Embossing folder in the background. www.PattyStamps.com

In addition to having fun coloring on this card, I also love the background!! I used the Tin Tile Embossing Folder found on page 43 in the 2018 Holiday catalog (same page as the Country Home stamp set, and the beautiful Country Lane designer paper). 

After embossing the Smoky Slate cardstock with the Tin Tile Embossing folder, I used a sponge dauber to add a little Gray Granite and Soft Suede ink to the raised parts.. just here and there to give it a bit of a weathered look.

After coloring the greenery/flowers and the can with the Watercolor Pencils and blending with a Blender Pen, I used a Sponge Dauber to add some Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint to the can.. I love it!

 The card base is a standard size Thick Whisper White folded card, and the tin tile embossed piece is 4" x 5-1/2".  I used a strip of Country Lane designer paper peeking out the right side, and some 3/16" braided trim on the left side of the card.   The little die cut shape was a limited time product a couple months ago and is retired, but you could easily use a die cut oval.

 I die cut the deer using Gold Foil paper and layered it over the Joyous Noel patterned paper.  (find it on pg 29 in the Holiday catalog or #147816 online).  I stamped the greeting from the Dashing Deer stamp set (part of the bundle) with Gray Granite ink on Smoky Slate cardstock and added gold metallic pearls to finish off the card above.

Wreath Card idea for Christmas with Peaceful Noel set

 

Would you believe me if I told you this card intimidated me!? 

I was afraid to try this "random stamped wreath" Christmas card idea featuring the Stampin' UP! Peaceful Noel stamp set.   It was one of the projects I made at Kurstan's BINGO event last month.. it's it amazing!!  AND it was super easy and I LOVE how it turned out!

 

Christmas Wreath card idea stamped with the Stampin UP! Peaceful Noel stamp set. www.PattyStamps.com

 Step 1:

Trace an oval or circle onto your Whisper White cardstock paper as a guide for stamping.

Use the pine sprigs and other leaf images in the Peaceful Noel set (pg 29 in the 2018 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog, or HERE online) and stamp randomly around the circle or oval. We used Tranquil Tide, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede ink.  Stamp berry image in Merry Merlot ink randomly around the wreath.

 Step 2:

Add a 4" strip of the Merry Merlot & Copper reversible ribbon across the wreath, then add a piece of Joyous Noel designer paper on top of the ribbon.

Tuck punched sprigs under the ribbon.  They are punched with the Sprig punch and the Joyous Noel Tranquil Tide glimmer paper.

(All of these supplies are available in my online store - order anytime by clicking on any of the product images at the bottom of this post)

Step 3:

Layer the whisper white stamped cardstock onto a piece of Merry Merlot cardstock and onto a folded Crumb Cake card base.

Stamp the greeting in Merry Merlot ink onto a stitched shape framelit oval and add to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

 

TIP!  buy the stamp set and sprig punch in a money-saving 10% off bundle!  See it HERE.

Step 4:

Don't forget to "gussy up" (as my grandma would have said) the envelope, too!
