Making Christmas Bright Card Idea using punches

October 02, 2018

I hope it's not too early to be thinking about Christmas card projects!! With all the fun temptation in the 2018 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog, I just can't resist making some Christmas projects already! I hope you enjoy my "Making Christmas Bright" Christmas bulb card idea!

TIP!!! The quickest way to stamp a bunch and punch of these cute Christmas bulbs is to put all of the images from the Making Christmas Bright set (pg 7 in the Holiday catalog or HERE online) onto one clear block then ink it at once in one color, stamp it on a strip of Whisper White cardstock, repeat, clean, and move to the next color. Then you can easily punch them out with the Christmas Bulb Builder punch - part of the money-saving 10% off bundle!! It made this a super quick project!!

In addition to the Christmas bulb punch, I also used the bow from the Candy Cane Builder punch (pg 20, #148011)!! It's a fun addition to this card!

I used 2 die cuts as well.. the heart is from the Sweetly Stitched framelits, pg 25, #147918,

and the greeting is stamped on a stitched tag die from the Farmhouse Framelits, pg 13, #147922.

The colors I used for the bulbs above are: Blueberry Bushels, Pineapple Punch, Lovely Lipstick, Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green.

I punched Galvanized Metallic paper and added it to the card with tweezers and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The greeting was stamped using one of my Rainbow Spectrum pads.. see details HERE. The greeting is found in the Making Christmas Bright set.

Hope you enjoyed this fun idea!! To create this card, cut about 1" or 1-1/2" off the front of a top fold card, and then layer some coordinating designer paper inside. I used a piece of polka dot Granny Apple Green paper from the Brights collection 6x6 paper stack, #146964.
