Year of Cheer Metallic Card and Wrapped Tin

Happy Christmas Eve! Santa is loading his sleigh and getting ready for his big ride tonight. Whether you are home or visiting, with family or friends, wherever you are, I wish you a very Merry and Safe Christmas! 

Last year I was fortunate enough to earn Stampin’ Up!’s incentive trip to Thailand. The trip was this past July. While we were there we were given the 2017 Holiday Catalog (a month before anyone else, and two months before the catalog went live for customers!) We also got to do some fantastic Make & Take projects using the new products. Today’s card made with products from the Year of Cheer Suite was one of those. I’ve used some of the same products to decorate a small tin with a clear top. 

 

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

  • Crumb Cake card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
  • Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 5″ x 4-1/4″
  • Champagne Foil Sheet cut to 4-1/2″ x 1″
  • Whisper White CS cut to 2″ x 3/4″
  • DSP cut to 1″ x 9″

Stamped with the Cheers to the Year stamp set:

  • sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto the Whisper White CS strip
  • starburst design in Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS

Die cut using the Layering Circle Framelits:

  • starburst design from the scrap of Whisper White CS 
  • a scrap of Champagne Foil Sheet

Die cut using the Trim Your Stocking Thinlits:

  • snowflake from the Champagne Foil circle

Assembled the card:

  • notches cut in the ends of the sentiment strip with Paper Snips
  • large DSP layer adhered to the front of the card base with Fast Fuse
  • Champagne Foil strip adhered to the DSP layer with Fast Fuse
  • silver Foil Snowflake adhered to the foil strip with Fast Fuse (it’s easier to put the Fast Fuse on the strip, then stick the snowflake to it, instead of trying to apply the Fast Fuse to the snowflake)
  • Basic Black Baker’s Twine tied in a bow and adhered to the snowflake with Mini Glue Dots, so it will stick out from under the upper layers
  • a Year of Cheer Embellishment adhered to the snowflake with Mini Glue Dots, so it will stick out from under the upper layers
  • starburst die cut adhered to the snowflake with Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • sentiment glued to the starburst die cut

Decorated the tin:

  • wrapped the DSP strip around the tin and secured it with Fast Fuse
  • adhered the snowflake cut foil circle to the clear part of the lid with Fast Fuse

Wrap It Up for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop

It’s time for the InKing Royalty December blog hop. This month we’re sharing how we wrap it up for the holidays, using our Stampin’ Up! products in gift wrapping. Since my husband and I spend Christmas at the homes of relatives, we have a lot of Christmas gifts to fit into the trunk of our car. I knew that any kind of bows would be crushed, so I decided to decorate the wrapped gifts with flat ornamentation. I’ve used a few different stamp sets and embellishments. I’m sharing a few of them with you today.

Hershey Bar Snowman, Sweet & Sassy Penguin, and Reindeer with Seasonal Layers Antlers

Yesterday I showed you how to make a Snowman that holds a snack size Hershey Bar. You can see that post here. Today I’m sharing three different covers for full size Hershey Bars: a snowman, a reindeer, and a penguin. These make terrific stocking stuffers, or small last minute gifts. And again, there’s no stamping. The Big Shot makes these super quick and easy (the magic words.) The reindeer antlers are made from the leaf die from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits, and the Penguin is made from the Layering Circles, Layering Ovals, and Sweet & Sassy Framelits Dies.

Just Breathe with Colorful Seasons Tissue Boxes

It’s that time of year. Yes, Christmas and Hannukah and gifts and snow…and the sniffles. You can get those little pocket/purse sized packs of tissues but they always end up getting all messed up. These little boxes help keep the tissues clean and prevent them from tearing while fighting for space in your overpacked bag. The sentiment is from the Colorful Seasons stamp set – it seemed perfect, since probably all you want to do is Just Breathe already! The heavy Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper is perfect for these little boxes – not too soft and not too stiff.

 

Here’s what I made:

  • scored along the short side at 1″, 5-1/2″, and 6-1/2″
  • rotated clockwise, then scored along the long side at 2-1/4″, 3-1/4″, 5-1/2″, 6-1/2″, and 8-3/4″
  • cut away the green areas in the diagram
  • Foil Frenzy tissue box for your purse, Colorful Seasons stamp set, Stampin' Up! #stampcandy
  • Crumb Cake card stock (CS) cut to 4″ x 1-1/4″
  • Lemon Lime Twist CS cut to 4-1/4″ x 1-1/2″ (I used the color of CS that coordinated with the particular piece of DSP I was using at the time.)

Cut using the Envelope Punch Board:

  • all four corners of the Crumb Cake and Lemon Lime Twist CS pieces rounded with the punch on the back of the punch board

Stamped with the Colorful Seasons stamp set:

  • sentiment in Crumb Cake ink onto the Crumb Cake CS piece

Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:

  • small oval from the inside top of the box
  • NOTE: fold under the long 1″ side so it will fit through the Big Shot

Assembled the box:

  • burnished all the score lines with a Bone Folder
  • glued the outside of area A (in diagram above) to the inside of area B
  • Crumb Cake CS glued onto the Lemon Lime Twist CS
  • Lemon Lime Twist CS glued onto the inside of the lid
