Embossed Peaceful Wreath Christmas Card

Are you looking for Christmas Card ideas? I love the simple elegance of this gold embossed wreath. The Peaceful Wreath stamp set was designed to go with the Wreath Framelits, (see yesterday's post) but when you're mass producing its nice to eliminate steps.

The sparkle and gold make this look much harder to make than it really is. 

• stamp the image in Versamark, 
• sprinkle with Gold Embossing powder and heat set, 
• and color the leaves.
• Assemble the layers and add the gold cord bow

Here are the supplies I used on this card

Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder [109129] $5.00

Peaceful Wreath Photopolymer Stamp Set [139794] $16.00

Gold Cording Trim [139618] $5.00

Pear Pizzazz 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [131201] $7.00

Versamark Pad [102283] $7.50

Jazz it a bit with some Silver Sparkle  glitter glue on the berries

By the way, how are you at tying bows? 

Check out this video I made showing how to use a Meat Fork to make a bow.

Wreath Stamp Sets and Framelits

Today I'll be show casing a set of products:  The Wreath Framelits and 3 matching Stamp sets.

The Wreath Framelits were first introduced with the Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set. As of this writing these 2 products are still "bundled" for 15% savings. Since that first introduction Stampin'UP! introduced 2 additional stamp sets that also go with the Wreath Framelits.

Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies [135851] $25.00

Wondrous Wreath Photopolymer Stamp Set [135047] $26.00

Circle Of Spring Photopolymer Stamp Set [138964] $16.00

Peaceful Wreath Photopolymer Stamp Set [139794] $16.00

Stampin'UP! is trying really hard to help us get maximum value from our investment so having 3 different stamp sets that all go with the same set of framelits is a really nice offering.   And of course it certainly helps that the imagery is gorgeous!

If you stamp with me locally you'll remember making this card last year.

Curious to see more? Check out this post which shows 2 other Christmas Cards made with the Wondrous Wreath Stamps and Framelits  and don't miss this Baby Card made with the wreath stamp and framelits.

If you stop back tomorrow you'll see a Simple Gold embossed wreath with the new 2015 Peaceful Wreath set.  If you like what you see you can get it all from my Stampin'UP! Store. All three stamp sets are sold individually, but you can "bundle" the Framelits with the Wondrous Wreath set and save 15% on the purchase. 

Are you actually considering getting all three?  (It is a great product combination) If so for just a few dollars more you could get them as part of the Starter Kit. When you buy the Starter Kit you pay $99 for your choice of $125 worth of product.  You could get all 3 stamp sets and the framelits plus your choice of another $42 worth of additional product.  Outside of Clearance Rack items, the Starter Kit is the best "sale" Stampin'UP! offers.

There's no commitment when you Join Stampin'UP! Your purchase of the Starter Kit simply gets you a personal discount of 20% on all future purchases through the end of March (that includes Sale-a-bration folks, lets think ahead here). Click HERE to join now or email me for more information.

Embossed Christmas Card with the Peaceful Wreath Holly Spray

If you're looking for Christmas Card ideas that are simple and easy to mass produce, then consider this card. The Holly spray is a classic Christmas image and its so beautiful here as the main focal point.

To create the image I stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink and heat embossed with Clear embossing powder.  Are you surprised that I could heat emboss in this color?  A few years ago, when Stampin'UP! changed over to the new foam pad ink pads, we suddenly got the option to HEAT EMBOSS IN ANY COLOR! These pads are super juicy, definitely wet enough to hold the embossing powder while you heat set it.  So stock up on Clear Embossing powder and emboss away.

Embossing the image does several things: 

• it makes it easier to stay in the lines when coloring (but don't look too closely at mine because I messed up in a few places)
• when you emboss the image then the lines won't bleed when you color over them
• and embossing also adds shine to your project

Do you send hand-made Christmas Cards?  Check out this earlier post with 3-Rules for Mass Production.  You'll get to see a hand-made card drawn by my grandfather. But just an FYI: the digital product  mentioned in this post is no longer available.

Here are the products I used on the Holly Spray card.

Peaceful Wreath Photopolymer Stamp Set [139794] $16.00	Real Red Stampin' Write Marker [100052] $3.50	Real Red 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [102482] $7.00
Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder [109130] $5.00	Gold Cording Trim [139618] $5.00	Pear Pizzazz Classic Stampin' Pad [131180] $6.50
