Spellbinders July 2023 Blog Hop - Christmas in July

Hello, fellow crafting enthusiasts! It’s Debbie here, excited to share another delightful crafting adventure with you all at Debbie J’s Crafting Corner. Today’s video features the Pine Cones and Holly Stamp Set, a fabulous set perfect for mass-producing your own Christmas cards.

We are also part of a Blog Hop, where you can explore an array of inspirational creations from talented crafters like you. (more about that later)

So, let’s dive into the crafty goodness and discover a new technique to spread joy this holiday season.

Crafting a Colorful Christmas

In this video, I explored a new technique for using the Pine Cones and Holly Stamp Set. Instead of the usual heat embossing, I experimented with various vibrant ink colors. The result? A beautiful rainbow of Christmas cards that are sure to brighten anyone’s day!

Step 1: Stamping the Magic

To begin, I used my trusty Misti stamping tool to stamp the pine cones and holly in different colors. Catherine Pooler’s “Deck the Halls” ink gave a rich, dark green, perfect for that classic touch. Then, I tried the festive “Cranberry Fizz” for a splash of cheerful red. But why stop there? I also tried some unconventional colors, and I must say, the non-traditional hues turned out to be just as stunning!

Step 2: Assembling the Joy

With a plethora of colorful stamped images, it was time to assemble the cards. I trimmed one panel in half and adhered it to an A2-sized card base, leaving a bit of white space for a clean, elegant look.

Next, I took another stamped panel and turned it into a diamond shape, placing it in the center with foam tape to add some dimension.

Step 3: The Finishing Touch

To add that extra festive touch, I cut out a beautiful Essential Diamond Frame from red cardstock and added it to the center with foam tape. This elegant frame adds a perfect finishing touch to the design.

Finally, I crafted a “Merry Christmas” sentiment, layered it up with a couple of backings for added dimension, and placed it on the card front.

Step 4: Sparkle and Shine

To make these cards truly magical, I couldn’t resist adding a touch of bling. A few sparkly gems strategically placed around the design added a delightful sparkle that will dazzle the recipients.
