Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop Christmas Wise Men Shaker Card

d

 

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2021 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products.

When you have completed each post, be sure to scroll down to the bottom and you will see the list of Blog Hop Participants. You may either click on their name to go to their post or click the NEXT button.  Happy Crafting, and I hope you enjoy this month’s theme:Christmas.

 

My favorite stamp set in all of the July-December  Mini Catalog is the Wise Men Bundle, so I knew I wanted to try this for my creation this month. I am pairing this with my other top choices, Peaceful Place, Silver Foil Specialty Paper, the Merry Melody 3-D Embossing Folder, and Subtle Shimmer Sequins to make this a shaker card.

Since the intricate die for the Wise Men is very detailed and more square than rectangular in shape. I changed the size from an A-2 card to 5-1/2" x 5-1/2". It should fit in a 6" x 6" envelope. Here are the measurements for this card if you would like to try!

Basic Gray  Card Base                 5-1/2" x 5-1/2"

Silver Foil Specialty Pack            5-1/4" x 5-1/4" (Emboss with Merry Melody Embossing Folder)

Peaceful Place DSP                       4-1/4" x 4-1/2" (Cut out with the Moroccan influenced die)

Basic White                                   (Die cut the 3 wise men.  Color with Stampin' Blends of your choice.)

Basic Gray                                     5-1/4" x 5-1/4" (Inside piece)

In order to make the shaker card, I used 2 plastic sheets cut smaller than the Peaceful Place DSP. Attach one and use the adhesive foam to create your well. Add the Subtle Shimmer Sequins to the "well." Adhere the second plastic sheet. Add this piece to the layered base, as shown. Place the die cut wise men and position with Dimensionals. Create  a sentiment tag and heat emboss the star and the Wise men still seek Him. Adhere flat on top of the wise men. Glue Smoke Grey piece on the inside to allow for stamping and writing a message .

Are you ready to start making Christmas cards yet?

This thank you card uses the new Harvest Meadow Suite from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. I brought my pre-order materials to see my upline, Cindee Wilkinson. We just started stamping and die cutting the stamped pieces. My favorite piece is  cut from the new Cork DSP. This textured paper is perfect for the tan wheat branches. The other sheaf is cut from Soft Succulent. The Bumbee-colored flowers are cut from the Harvest Meadow DSP. There is just the right amount of print!

The Base is Moonlight Madness matted with the Harvest DSP. Colors and Contours is used for the Basic White layer. Thank you is stamped in Moonlight Madness. I embellished with the new 2020-2022 In Color Square Gems from the Annual Catalog. I created matching ribbon by coloring the Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon with the Dark Moonlight Madness Stampin' Blend Pen. Be sure to use the brush tip turned on the side to color the ribbon. Don;t forget to decorate the inside of the card!

This thank you card will be given to  anyone ordering $50 or more from my online store. I can't help but want to show off these beautiful crafting materials!
