What is Christmas? Card

Hey Quietfire Fans! Christmas is only fifteen days away and I'm excited to be back on the blog today sharing with you my What is Christmas? Card that features a variety of Quietfire Design Stamps and A Way With Words Dies. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite holiday beverage as you learn how to recreate my card at home.

To start, die cut five snowflakes from the Brr Die out of white cardstock. To finish off the snowflakes, add a Transp. Glitter/Gold Dot to the center of each one.

Next, you'll need a couple of Christmas patterned papers. I used three patterned papers from Modascrap's Christmas Holidays Paper Pack. Die cut the Flourished Frame out of one of the patterned papers you chose. Ink the edges of the frame using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut the 3" Stitched Rectangle out of cream cardstock. Apply Potting Soil Archival Ink to the What is Christmas? sentiment and stamp in the middle of the stitched rectangle. Distress the edges of the stitched rectangle. Ink the edges of the stitched rectangle using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut the 4" stitched rectangle out of the second piece of patterned paper. Distress the edges. Ink the edges of the stitched rectangle using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut the 4 1/2" stitched rectangle out of the third piece of patterned paper. Apply Emboss It Ink to one of the corners of the Leafy Acanthus stamp and stamp in the bottom right hand corner. Repeat the previous step three more times in each corner of the paper. Sprinkle Burnt Copper Leaves Embossing Powder overtop of the stamped images. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Distress the edges. Ink the edges of the stitched rectangle using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the 4" stitched rectangle to the 4 1/2" stitched rectangle.

Adhere the flourished frame overtop of the the 4" stitched rectangle.

Foam square the 3" stitched rectangle to the middle of the flourished frame.

Adhere two snowflakes in the bottom right hand corner of the sentiment rectangle. Adhere one snowflake in the top left corner of the sentiment rectangle. Adhere the other two snowflakes randomly on the sentiment rectangle. To finish off the card, cut a cardbase out of white cardstock that measures 4 1/2" x 11 1/2", score at 5 3/4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.

Here are a few close up's of my What is Christmas? Card.

Joy, Love, Peace, Merry Christmas word tree - What Is Christmas

Yogi here today with and Xmas word tree inspired by something I recently saw and that clicked in my brain... an Xmas word tree rubber stamp, so I thought I'd create one using Suzanne's word dies. BIG GRIN

I'm using an A Way With Words dies  "Flourished Circle - Joy, Love, Peace"; 4pce set, I used this love because I wanted something larger than what was in the flourished circle set... "Love" and  "Merry Christmas" from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design HERE, HERE and HERE I'm also using one of the newest quote and design element stamp sets from Quietfire Design  ("What Is Christmas..."2pce set)

 

I scored and folded my red textured cardstock to create the easel structure. Cut another piece same size as card and adhered to front.

Dry embossed white cardstock using Sizzix "Flowers" embossing folder. Trimmed down and adhered to front.

Die cut all the words using various cardstocks, red, DoCraft gold mirror, gold decorated Kraft, and a pretty tissue box cardstock. Adhered to front. Cut a small rectangle to mimic a tree trunk, inked with Distress browns and adhered to tree. Die cut the star from the gold mirror cardstock.
 

 

On the floor: Stamped the quote onto white cardstock using Verafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Die cut with Elizabeth Craft Designs "Stitched Rectangles" die set. Adhered to floor with 3D foam tape to act as my stopper.

Stamped the flourished stars with Versafine "Toffee" and embossed with Queen's Gold embossing powder. Fussy cut around the image. Applied Quickie glue to the stars and sprinkled with gold micro fine glitter.
