Wishes & Wonder Useful Bits

I had this sleigh already colored in my box of useful bits, and the elk cut out, but not colored. I figured they would make a nice card.

I already had some DSP matted on Mossy Meadow which didn't get used as I had planned, so all I had to do was color the elk, add a greeting on a mat, some red rhinestones, and BOOM! Card complete!

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS IN JULY (Day 12)

Heart's Delight Cards, Wishes & Wonder, 2020 Aug-Dec Mini, 12 Days of Christmas in July, Stampin' Up!

Here we are at the last day of July, and the last of the twelve days of Christmas in July. Geez, that went fast! Well, in a few short days you will be able to order from the Aug-Dec Mini, so that's something to look forward to. And there are so many more things that I didn't get a chance to use, I'm sure they will be appearing here in the near future!

For the final card, I used the Wishes & Wonder bundle (part of the Wonder of the Season Suite) again, because I just HAD to use that sleigh somehow. (Going for a sleigh ride is on my bucket list.) The holly bunch is part of the Wonder of the Season Memories & More Card Pack, also part of the suite. Lots of neat stickers in there!

The Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper makes a nice background without having to emboss. I was going to cover the whole card front with it, but having the greeting on a label on top didn't look right. I thought making it a bit narrower, leaving room for the greeting (Itty Bitty Christmas) at the bottom, looked better.

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS IN JULY (Day 9)

Heart's Delight Cards, Wishes & Wonder, 2020 Aug-Dec Mini, 12 Days of Christmas in July, Stampin' Up!

Only four more days until the end of the month and the end of the 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS IN JULY. Time sure flies when you're having fun, 'eh? Today's card highlights the fabulous Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder and the Wishes & Wonder bundle. (Oh! And a die from a different bundle that will be featured tomorrow, heehee!)

Isn't that die cut elk just gorgeous? Between him and the embossed trees, the card didn't need anything other than a greeting.

Note: When you add ink to an embossed piece, be sure to dab off a lot of the excess ink on scratch paper before very lightly (I can't emphasize that enough) rubbing it on the embossing. On the trees, I started at the tops and lightly "polished" down, so more color would be on the tops. It looks like they are peeking through a low foggy mist, doesn't it? Measurements and instructions are below.

Remember, buy any bundle in August from the upcoming 2020 Aug-Dec Mini Catalog, which starts August 4th, and received a pre-cut, ready to stamp and assemble card kit (4 cards and envelopes) from me! The kit will include any die cuts and embossed pieces, as well as embellishments needed to complete the cards. All you need is stamps, ink, and adhesives.

Measurements

  Card base: Whisper White 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored & folded at 4-1/4"
  Embossed background: Whisper White 4" x 5-1/4"
  Mat: Shaded Spruce 4-1/8" x 5-3/8"
  Snow mound: Whisper White 1-1/2" x 5-1/4"
  Elk: Bronze Brushed Metallic Cardstock 2" x 3"

Instructions
  1. Emboss Whisper White background with Evergreen Forest folder and using a sponge dauber, lightly burnish Shaded Spruce ink onto treetops (see note above). Adhere to Shaded Spruce mat and then to card base.
  2. Cut snow mound with the die in the Home Together Dies, or freehand cut it with Paper Snips. Stamp greeting with Shaded Spruce ink. Adhere snow mound to card base.
