Merry Christmas to all my family, friends and followers! By Christmas day after making loads of Christmas cards for customers and family and friends on my list I am ready for something different!
Today’s blog post is all about extending the stamps you have in your collection and using them in out of the box ways! The stamp bundle I picked today is an Online Exclusive suite called Seasons of Green and Gold that reminds me of the Christmas season with its boughs of Green and accents of gold foiled specialty paper. Instead of using the suite in a traditional manner to make a Christmas season card I used it in it’s golden hues only to make a card suitable for an anniversary or wedding.
I assembled the card based on one of the layouts featured in our 2024 Annual Catalog!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″ cut off 3/4″ off the left hand
side
scrap for large circle die
3 3/8″ x 4 1/2″ layer
Glimmer Paper: 3/4″ x 5 1/2″
DSP (3) 1: x 4 3/8″

Cut off 3/4″ off the edge of the left-hand side of the 5 1/2″ edge of the BASE.
Adhere the 3/4″ glimmer paper to the left-hand edge.

Adhere the 1″ strips to the gold-foiled Seasons of Green and Gold DSP to the layer of Basic White CS.

Adhere the layer on the base card overhanging the glimmer paper edge.

Stamp the foliage stamp in Wild Wheat.
Stamp the outline in Pebbled Path.

Stamp the large circle from the Stylish Shapes die set with the Friends for Life stamp set – stamp BEST in Wild Wheat on the upper portion of the circle, the wishes sentiment in Pebbled Path ink.
Adhere to the lower middle of the layer popping up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Adhere the Petal Pink foiled gems onto the circle die.

An elegant card and out of the box stamping.
Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
