Noel - LICI-D-05

Here are the 12 sheets of 6” x 6“paper (two of each design) of this beautiful double-sided Joyous Noel Specialty DSP I had received from a Paper Share I joined when the 2018 Holiday catalogue came out.  One side is designed with copper foil accents and the other side is just as breath taking!  Now that I have chopped it, I’m continuing to make more cards!

Stamps: Greetings of the Season (Holiday 2012), Christmas Pines (Holiday 2016).

Cardstock: White, Tranquil Tide, Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper, Joyous Noel Specialty DSP (Holiday 2018).

Ink: Versamark, Tranquil Tide.

Tools: dimensionals, Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, glue dots, sequins, Merry Merlot and Copper 5/8” Reversible Ribbon, Clear embossing powder, Copper Thread.

Punches/Dies: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Ovals Framelits, Sprig punch.

Used a strip from my Love It Chop It DSP stash.  I over stamped the card front with images from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Tranquil Tide ink before adhering the strip to the card front. 

I embossed the word Noel by first inking the image with Versamark - don’t stamp it yet. Then, ink up your image with Tranquil Tide. Now stamp the image. Cover your image with Clear Embossing Powder and tap off the excess. Heat emboss.  Create with Kaitlyn has a great tutorial on how to heat emboss in every color. 

I added some copper thread behind the phrase.

Stamped an image to go with the phrase for the inside of the card.

Happiest Christmas Wishes - LICI-D-04

Stamps: Dashing Deer.

Cardstock: White, Merry Merlot, Mint Macaron, Tranquil Tide, Joyous Noel Specialty DSP (Holiday 2018).

Ink: Versamark, Merry Merlot (inside), Tranquil Tide (inside).

Tools: dimensionals, Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, glue dots, sequins, Copper embossing powder.

Punches/Dies: Stitched Banner dies (non SU!), Detailed Deer Thinlits dies, Pretty Pines Thinlits dies.

Used a full panel from my Love It Chop It pile (5-1/4” x 4”).  Adhere to card front.  I don’t have the Copper Foil so I pounced my Versamark ink pad on to a fair size of cardstock, poured Copper embossing powder over it and heat embossed.  Then punched and die cut as normal.  The rest is straight forward!

Stamped an image to go with the phrase for the inside of the card.

I had joined a Paper Share when the 2018 Holiday catalogue came out.  Paper Shares are a great way of seeing all the paper in the catalogue plus you don’t have a huge amount of paper to touch and feel and smell and store etc for years!!  Figured I had loved it long enough, so it was time to chop it!  I had 12 sheets of 6” x 6“paper, two of each design of this beautiful double-sided Joyous Noel Specialty DSP.  One side is designed with copper foil accents, it is just stunning! The other side is absolutely stunning too but there is just something about that copper!   I ended up with 24 cards, two of each card.  So here is my 4th of 12, Love It Chop It cards, using this DSP.

Merry Christmas - LICI-D-03

I first cut my 12 sheets of 6” x 6” Joyous Noel Specialty DSP Paper Share into 4” widths which left me with 12, 2” wide strips.  I left them as is and will cut them down as needed.  I cut the 4” wide pieces down to 5-1/4” high.  That left me with a small strip that just happens to fit across my insert.

Stamps: Snowplace (Holiday 2015).

Cardstock: White, Merry Merlot, Mint Macaron, vellum, Tranquil Tide, Joyous Noel Specialty DSP (Holiday 2018).

Ink: Versamark, Mint Macaron (inside), Merry Merlot.

Tools: Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, glue dots, sequins, Copper embossing powder.

Punches/Dies: Expressions Thinlits Die, Leaf punch, Modern Label punch, Pretty Pines Thinlits.

Used a strip from my Love It Chop It DSP stash.  Adhere to card front.  I don’t have the Copper Foil so I pounced my Versamark ink pad on to a fair size of cardstock, poured Copper embossing powder over it and heat embossed.  Then punched and die cut as normal.  The rest is straight forward!

Adhere one of the strip wastes that we cut from our Love It Chop It stash to the inside of the card.

Cardstock: White, Sahara Sand, Tranquil Tide, Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper, Joyous Noel Specialty DSP (Holiday 2018),

Punches/Dies: Triple Banner punch, Layering Shapes dies, Stitched Shapes Framelits.

Started with a full panel from my Love It Chop It plie (5-14” x 4”).  Adhere this to a Sahara Sand card base.

Cut Sahara Sand and Tranquil Tide to 1-1/2″ by 4-1/4″. Flag ends with the Triple Banner punch. Run the Sahara Sand through the Corrugated EF, spritzing with water first.  Run the Tranquil Tide through the Softly Falling EF.  Add both the banners to the card front.  Trim ends of banners.

Stamp the sentiment with Versamark on a scrap of White cardstock.  Copper emboss.  Die cut.  Die cut a scallop circle from Copper glimmer paper and adhere to the phrase.  Add dimensionals.  Make a bow from the Copper trim.

Stamped a phrase for the inside of the card.
