Santa Ornament #2

Hi there, Stampin' Friends! I created another Santa ornament with a completely different look. Here I have used the Window Frames Collection Framelits.  I stamped Santa on Naturals White card stock with Black Stazon and colored him with reinkers and an aqua painter. I cut him out using the Big Shot, magnetic plate, and framelit. I left the Santa in the framelit,(Leaving the Santa in the framelit gives it a little more stability to trace around), set the framelit on Basic Black card stock, traced around it, and then cut the shape out with my scissors and distressed it; removed Santa from the framelit and attached him to the black layer and threaded a thin silver cording through it.   The base of the card is made by using the second to the largest framelit. I inked up the smooth side of the Pretty Print embossing folder with Smokey Slate ink, placed the card base in it and ran it through the Big Shot. The 'ornament' is attached with two glue dots so it can be easily removed.

Here is Santa all colored and sparkled by adding dazzling diamonds and crystal effects to the lenses of his glasses.

Stamp Set: Santa's List

Ink: reinkers Cherry Cobbler, Blush Blossom (retired), Blushing Bride, Smokey Slate, Marina Mist, Soft Sky; Smokey Slate ink pad

Santa Postcard

Hi there, Stampin' Friends.  Yesterday Santa was on an ornament; today he is on a postcard.  I inked up the Postcard stamp with my Black Stampin' Write marker, omitting the line down the middle and the 'This Space For Address Only'; huffed on the stamp to moisten the ink, and stamped it on Very Vanilla cs. Santa was inked in Black Stazon and colored with markers and an aqua painter; crystal effects were added to the lenses of his glasses. The greetings were inked with Black marker and stamped with the help of the Stamp a ma jig.

Here is a closer look at Santa:

The 'postage stamp' was created using the Postage Collection and Santa's List stamp sets, the Stamp a ma jig, and the Postage Stamp punch.  It is popped up on dimensionals.

I ran the Cherry Cobbler base through the Big Shot with the Framed Tulip embossing folder before mounting the Postcard on the front with liquid Tombow glue.

Santa Ornament

Hi there, Stampin' Friends. I recently saw a beautiful card posted on Stampin' Connection ( a site for demos only) using the Festive Flurry Framelits Bundle (found on pg. 30 of the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog) to create a card with a removable ornament.  I thought it was not only a gorgeous card but a brilliant idea to create an ornament as a little gift. My version is much more 'vintagey' and I did not use the matching stamp set that comes with the bundle.  Here is where my creativity took me...

The background was created using the Northern Flurry embossing folder and Gold Metallic Encore ink. I opened the folder, inked up the smooth side of the folder with the gold ink, placed my Very Vanilla card stock in it, closed the folder and ran it through the Big Shot. I had to add a little more ink with a sponge to even it out and I also stamped the dots from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. The saying was stamped in Versa Mark, covered with Gold embossing powder, and heat set.

                                              Here is a close up of the removable ornament:

The ornament was created by cutting the largest snowflake from the Festive Flurry Framelits out of Very Vanilla card stock.  I used my Stamp a ma jig to position the Santa in the center of the snowflake and stamped him in Black Stazon. I used ink (listed below) and an aqua painter (without water) to color the image. I added crystal effects to his glasses. After the crystal effects was dry, I created a 'mask' by stamping the Santa stamp on a scrap of printer paper and then cut it out. I placed the mask over the colored image and sponged Baked Brown Sugar ink over the snowflake. Remove the mask. I cut an additional snowflake out of Baked Brown Sugar and adhered it to the back of my Santa Snowflake, pierced a hole, added the gold cording, put two glue dots on the back of the Snowflake and placed it on my card. Three small pearls in  the center of the Northern Flurry snowflakes finish it off.

Supply List:
Stamp Set: Santa's List, Gorgeous Grunge
Card Stock: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Baked Brown Sugar
Ink: Black Stazon, Baked Brown Sugar, reinkers of  Blush Blossom, Blushing Bride, Soft Sky, Smokey Slate, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, aqua painter, Gold Metallic Encore Pad, Versa Mark, Gold Embossing Powder

Festive Flurry Framelits, Northern Flurry embossing folder, Stamp a ma jig, pearls, crystal effects, sponge, paper piercer, gold cording (from my stash), heat tool, glue dots
