Layered Merry Christmas Foliage | Spellbinders

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings2 Comments

HEY FRIENDS! It’s World Cardmaking Day! Now there’s a holiday that I can get behind! And since I’m in full holiday cardmaking mode, I have a simple Christmas card to honor the day featuring the Layered Merry Christmas Foliage stencil set by Spellbinders. Since the design is stenciled, this would be an easy card to make in bulk for the holidays. I stuck with traditional Christmas colors, but non-traditional color palettes would work just as well.

This card is really easy to put together. I’ve created a short video showing you the stenciling portion of the card.

Since I work on a Glassboard, I usually hold down my stencils with magnets. However, there wasn’t enough of a margin on the stencil so I simply held the stencils in place with Pixie Repositionable Tape. It’s a low tack tape and peels off cleanly. I also used domed foam blenders for the ink blending. Since they’re relatively inexpensive, I can have a blender for each ink pad rather than a blender for each color family.

That’s all for now!

This card really was quick and easy to put together and you could use the same layout for any of the stamps in the set. For the background, I used the Nesting Rectangle Infinity Dies to cut three panels from Hammermill cardstock. The largest panel was stenciled using Distress Ink in Lost Shadow and the Holiday Knit Stencil. On the smallest panel, I stamped the Santa image and sentiment using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink and colored the hat with TWO Copic markers (R24 and R46). The layers were assembled as shown. It really doesn’t get much easier than this!

HEY FRIENDS! Today I have THREE cards using the Layering Peppermints Stencil by Simon Says Stamp. Now that July is here, it’s time to start thinking about holiday cards, especially those that can be made in bulk. Stencils make quick and easy backgrounds for cards so I experimented with three different layouts using the same products.

Card 1

Rowhouse Greetings | Layering Peppermints Stencil by Simon Says Stamp

Details

  • Cut card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# cardstock to 4.25″ x 11″ and score at 5.5″ for a top fold card.
  • Cut a piece of Hammermill cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″ and mask the bottom 1.75″ using Mint Tape.
  • Place the background for the Layering Peppermints Stencil on the top portion of the panel and ink blend using Distress Ink in Spun Sugar.
  • Remove the background stencil and replace with the detail stencil. Ink blend using Distress Ink in Lumberjack Plaid.
  • Trim panel to 4″ x 5.25″ or use the same size die in the Infinity Rectangle Die set to create a finished edge.
  • Using the Merry Word Die, cut twice from white cardstock and once from black cardstock (I used Licorice Black cardstock by MFT Stamps).
  • For the sentiment, I used the “Merry & Bright” stamp from the Printmaking Pines stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. I positioned the stamp in my Misti and placed a small piece of Mint Tape over the word “Merry.” I inked the stamp using Versafine Clair in Nocturne, removed the mask, and stamped the sentiment. This results in just the “& Bright” portion of the stamp appearing on the panel.
  • Assemble the layers as shown.

HEY FRIENDS! I was looking through my stash and came across the Anita Jeram Thoughfulness Bird stamp set by Colorado Craft Company. I purchased this stamp set with the intent of making holiday gift tags, but now it’s April and I’m just getting around to coloring the image. I decided that image would make a perfectly adorable springtime card so that’s what I did!
