Brightly Gleaming Dashing Deer

A simple Christmas card featuring Dashing Deer stamp set,
coordinating Detailed Deer die and Brightly Gleaming paper

This is one of my favourite simple Christmas cards and is really quick and easy to replicate for mass-production.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the Dashing Deer onto Pretty Peacock cardstock with Celestial Copper metallic ink.  This allowed me to overstamp to ensure a good coverage of ink.  Once the ink was dry, I then cut out the deer with the coordinating Detailed Deer die.

A quick, mass-production, alternative would be to cut out as many of the deer as required and then use this method with the Stamparatus to stamp the die cuts.

To obtain the stitched frame, I cut a rectangle of Copper Foil sheet a little larger than a Stitched Rectangle die, then centred the die and cut.  This left the frame for use on this card and a rectangle for use on another project.

I also removed the centre of the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper for use in another project.

I cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to fit inside the stitched detail and then adhered the deer.

Christmas Gleaming

An easy Christmas card to mass produce using the Brightly Gleaming Suite

This card is is quick to make and super-easy to mass-produce with the help of the Stamparatus.

I keep a template of each punch in the case with my Christmas Gleaming stamps so that they're always ready to use.

Punch as many multiples of the bauble as you want from cardstock.

Pop the the template onto the Stamparatus, line up the stamp (I find the easiest way is to place the  stamp into the punched space and then close the door onto it).  

I usually do one test stamp to check the alignment.

Then one at a time, place the punched baubles into the template and stamp them.

Using a template and Stamparatus to quickly stamp multiple die cuts

I stamped these ones with Celestial Copper metallic ink and found I needed to reink and stamp a couple of times to get the coverage I wanted.

I attached the resulting baubles to a label cut with one of the Wild Rose dies, layered onto a Stitched Rectangle.

Thank you for visiting.

Eastern Medallions with Repeat Step Stamping

Another set of products that's retiring on 2nd June - The Eastern Beauty stamp set and coordinating Eastern Medallions thinlits dies.  I've also used one of the retiring In-Colours - Lemon Lime Twist.

Eastern Beauty stamp set & Eastern Medallions dies are both set to retire on 2 June 2019
It's easy to make a die cut label the correct length for your sentiment

I did a little "step stamping" with the ever-useful Stamparatus to make the background and then used the dies to create the focal piece.

I cut out the greeting with one of the Merry Christmas dies, shortening it using this method.  I then used Rectangle Stitched Framelits to cut the coloured layers.

Pick A Pennant For You - Hinge Step

Having used the Pick A Pennant stamp set and Hinge Step Technique with the Stamparatus for this black and white card, I decided to try something similar with some colour.

Hinge Step Technique with the Stamparatus and Pick A Pennant stamp set

The base card is Coastal Cabana with layers of Calypso Coral and Very Vanilla under the decorated Gray Granite layer which is stamped with Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral inks.

It doesn't show in this photograph but I added a layer of Wink of Stella to the pennants before I added the spots and stripes.

The birthday greeting is one of the stamps included in the Darling Label Punch Box and I punched it out with the coordinating punch which is also included in the box.  The tin itself is so gorgeous that one could be forgiven for buying it just for pleasure of having the box!

There are so many rectangles on the card that I chose to adhere the Darling Label onto a circle of Coastal Cabana cut with one of the Layering Circles dies.  This is adhered to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Pick A Pennant Black & White Hinge-Step

This card is included in the Crazy Crafters Team Highlights.  Click here to see all the entrants and vote for your favourites.

Pick A Pennant is a very versatile little stamp set.  It includes not only two different types of bunting but also patterns to enhance the little flags, bows, tassels, little floral and bird images but also a complete alpha-numeric set!  What's more, there are multiples of some letters, making it easier to build words or names.  The letters can be used in conjunction with the bunting or on their own.

There is also a coordinating die set (Playful Pennants Framelits) and both can be purchased together as a bundle for a 10% saving!

A simple black & white card created with the Pick A Pennant stamp set in a graphic style

I kept this card simple.

Using my fave new tool - the Stamparatus - and the Hinge Step technique, I stamped the pennants twice onto Basic Black cardstock with Versamark.  I then heat embossed with Whisper White embossing powder.

HINT:  Since photopolymer stamps are easy to manoeuvre, I curved the stamp slightly before I started inking.

I also white heat embossed the little greeting in the corner with a stamp from the Eastern Beauty stamp set.

I stamped another greeting from the Eastern Beauty set onto Whisper White cardstock  and cut the black and white layers with the Layering Circles Framelits.
