Christmas is just around the corner. Today’s post is using the Good Cheer stamp set from the Idea Book & Catalog. I saw this marker and embossing technique with this holiday set on another demonstrator’s website and had to C.A.S.E it – it looked so nice and absolutely perfect for the holidays!
The following Stampin’ Up! product was used:
- Crimper
- Chocolate Chip, Real Red, and Whisper White cardstock
- Chocolate Chip Wide Satin ribbon (from the Clearance Rack)
- Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon
- Rub-ons (Merry & Bright in the Holiday Mini Catalog)
- Stampin’ Write Markers
- Versa Mark Pen
- Clear Embossing Powder
- SNAIL Adhesive
- Stampin’ Dimensionals or Pop-up Glue Dots
First, cut the standard, vertical card size in Chocolate Chip. Then run a 4-1/2 by 5-1/2 piece of Real Red cardstock through the Crimper. Afterwards trim to 4 x 5-1/4. Wrap a piece of satin ribbon around the front and adhere to the back. Then wrap the Real Red ribbon on top of the Chocolate Chip satin ribbon and adhere to the back as well. Adhere this panel to the card front.
Next, cut up one of the phrases from the Merry & Bright rub-ons and used on the ribbon! I like how it came out. Choose your favorite holiday greeting and give it a try.
Lastly, color the stamp the Santa image with Garden Green, Real Red, Creamy Caramel and Chocolate Chip markers. Then stamp on Whisper White cardstock. Cut the paper to the image. Using the Versa Mark pen, color parts of the image you would like embossed. Then sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder, shake off excess powder, then heat. Mat the image on Chocolate Chip cardstock and trim. Then adhere to the front panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals or Pop-up Glue Dots.
Other Suggestions
- Stamp the image in Chocolate Chip Craft Ink and emboss. Then watercolor the picture instead of coloring the stamp with markers.
- Add glitter (Dazzling Diamonds) to the image.
- Add brads as an accent. For example in each corner of the front panel or on the bottom or top right.
- Instead of using the Crimper use a background stamp or Textured Impressions Folder.
