We are well into October so no apology needed for Christmas cards now. I have been creating with Stampin’ Up!'s Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper for my monthly Crafty Friday class.
As these events are still partially on Zoom (I offer limited in-person places with the rest working remotely), we are sticking with the challenges of cutting out images from Designer Series Paper. Fortunately this Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper has some perfect designs for doing this, so I was able to offer the ladies a choice of two cards to make with their kit.
Version one really taps into the pink theme of the Whimsy & Wonder Suite, with a snowflake background covering the entire front of the card. The main focal point is a stack of presents, all cut out of the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper and overlaid onto one of the Wonderful Snowflakes.
These snowflake elements are excellent, especially if you
don’t have a die-cutting machine or simply want to save time when making
your Christmas cards. The beautiful iridescent snowflakes come pre-cut,
ready to be popped out of their backing paper. I attached them to the
project using a single Glue Dot in the centre.
I’ve mounted the presents onto a panel cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, which has a hint of Polished Pink peeping out behind it, as well as a hint of Be Dazzling Speciality Paper which I had left over from Sale-a-Bration.
For the alternative version, I used some strips of Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper to create a panel mounted onto some Mint Macaron cardstock. Then the basic design is roughly the same, with a Christmas tree instead of a stack of presents.
As I seem to have found
myself short of greetings, both of these come from the new Christmas
Whimsy Card Kit, which is excellent value, a great introduction to
cardmaking and also ideal for seasoned crafters who want a relaxed and
productive session. What these kits are also excellent for is building
up your greeting stamps collection – these are both really useful
sentiments which appeal to our understated British tastes and a nice
neat size, too.
If you are in the UK and would like to order any of these products, please visit my store and, if you use the October host code ZKTV7U4Z, I’ll send you a thank you gift next month. To make it easy, please shop using this link
