An Old Fashioned Vintage Christmas Card

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

This week at Hand Stamped Stamped Sentiments we have a theme challenge. Create any paper craft project with an old fashion Christmas theme. Looking through my stash I found some gold heart doilies and since recently I received the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies I was inspired! Perfect combo!

I used one of my favorite Christmas vintage stamp sets, Bells and Boughs. I stamped the poinsettia image on Very Vanilla with Versamark and heat embossed it in gold. I then die cut it using the heart die. It was so easy! The image is colored with a blender pen and ink pads and sponged with Soft Suede. I cut holly leaves in Always Artichoke and Old Olive using the Large Oval punch and 3/4″ circle punch to cut the sides. I used a stylus to score the leaf veins.

The berries are cut from Red Glimmer paper with the 1/2″ circle punch. So sparkly! I love this paper. I definitely need to get some more for Valentine’s. The small circles at the corners and on the sentiments were cut with the Owl Builder punch.

More Vintage Christmas Cards with Deck the Halls DSP

Posted on November 17, 2010 by Genevieve Valdes

As promised here are the other cards I created with half a package of the Deck the Halls DSP. If you want the instructions for cutting the paper and card recipes I’m charging $3.00 for the instructions and recipes. This is not a tutorial. These are simply cutting instructions for each sheet of DSP, how to use the paper for each card and list of supplies used for each card.
