Hello stamping friends and welcome! It’s Friday which means it’s also Christmas in July on the blog! Today’s card wraps up my weekly share of the sweet Happier Than Happy stamp set and Happy Forest Friends Suite. I got creative using a handful of Stampin’ goodies to meet today’s fun Christmas card challenge. There’s a full list of all of the supplies I’ve used down at the bottom of the post and step by step instructions too!
Let me say that I am loving this Christmas in July Friday challenge. It has me looking at my supplies in a whole different way … I love it!!
When I looked at the Happier Than Happy stamp set and thought Christmas, the first thing that came to mind was a scarf for the darling little bear. So that’s where I started. It got me off to a great start and then I started finding all kinds of other elements to add in!! I had so much fun!!
If you like today’s card and the Happy Forest Friends Suite please leave me a comment below. I’d love to hear from you!!
Let’s Make It: Happier Than Happy Christmas Card
- Start by cutting an Old Olive card base to 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and score it in half at 4-1/4″ then fold on the score line
- Next cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock to 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″ and adhere to the center of your card front
- Emboss a piece of 5″ x 3-3/4″ Basic White cardstock using the mountain folder included in the Charming Landscapes embossing folder pack, and adhere it to the Evening Evergreen cardstock
- Stamp the bear using Early Espresso ink on Basice White cardstock and cut it out with the coordintating die
- Take a piece of Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Windowpane Check ribbon (about 6″) and wrap it around the bear’s neck to create a scarf, adhere it in place with Mini Glue Dots
- Using the tree from the Happy Forest dies cut out two in Mossy Meadow and one in Evening Evergreen
- Die cut the label from the Seasonal Label dies using a piece of white glimmer paper
- Stamp the ‘Tis the Season greeting from the Christmas to Remember stamp set with Evening Evergreen ink and cut the words apart
- Now to create the focal point with all the layers:
- Attach two die cut trees directly to the embossed piece on your card front
- Using dimensionals, attach the label covering the bottom portion of the trees
- Adhere a Wonderful Snowflake to the top-right of the label
- Pop the bear on top of the glittery label using dimensionals
