Retro Christmas with New Bling

 

    Hello, 

        Welcome to my Retro Christmas Series, what this series is meant for is to highlight some retired Stampin' Up! products that you have in your craft stash and need new ideas for, and to incorporate some of the new Designer Series Papers, Embelishments, Embossing Folders and Dies that you may have added. This way we get the best of both worlds amd use our Old & New stuff!!! 

     To create this card I used:

(Retro) Retired Product : Spirited Snowman Stamp Set, Softly Falling Embossing Folder. 

New Product from the Annual Catalogue 2021 & July-Jan Mini Catalogue 2021-Tidings of Christmas 6x6 Designer Series Paper, Wonderful Snowflakes. 

All other products: 

Thick White Cardstock Base 5 1/2' x 8 1/2', scored at 4 1/4'.

Tidings of Christmas DSP layer 4' x 5 1/4' .

Basic White Cardstock 3 1/2' x 4 3/4' - to emboss.

Scrap of Basic White Cardstock for image Stamping.

Scrap of Basic Black Cardstock for sentiment.

Basic Black,Smoky Slate. 

Wink of Stella Pen 

White Embossing Powder & Heat Tool.

Adhere your DSP layer to your Thick Basic Cardstock Base with Stampin' Seal. Place the 3 1/2' x 4 3/4' piece of Basic White Cardstock in your Softly Falling Embossing Folder and run through the Cut & Emboss Machine. Adhere that with Stampin' Seal to the DSP  layer on your base. Stamp your Sentiment in VersaMark onto your scrap of Bacis Black cardstock, sprinkle on the White Embossing Powder, shake off excess and heat set. Fussy cut to the shape and length you want. Next on your Basic White Scrap, Stamp the snowman in Memento Black Ink . Color in the image using the Stampin' Blends colors above, use the card picture for reference if you want it exactly like mine. Use Wink of Stella Pen on the skate blades and the snowman body to give dimention.Fussy cut out the snowman when done coloring. Attach Glue Dots to the backs of the Wonderful Snowflakes place one in each corner of your embossed layer. Apply dimensionals to the back of your snowman and attach to your card front. Tuck in your sentiment just under the snowmans arm and scarf to hide the end. Decorate your card inside ( mine has a 1/2' strip of the same DSP along the bottom )  and envelope. You are ready to send :)
