Stampin Up Christmas Card with a bit of a twist -Using the Christmas Tree Dies and the Way to Goat Stamp set

Posted on 12/18/2021 by Marilyn

My Grand Daughter asked me to make a Card for a friend of hers. She wanted it to be a Christmas Card, Purple and have a goat on it (her friend likes goats). Well I’m always up for a good Challenge and this was going to be a doozy!

I found a card sketch of Diane Evans from stampinwithdiane I really liked and decided to use the Christmas Tree Dies from the Whimsy and Wonder Collection and the Way to Goat stamp set. I was so pleased with the way this card turned up.

Instructions to make my card:

  1. Card base is Highland Heather card stock cut at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored and folded at 4 1/4
  2. Basic White layer cut at 4 x 5 1/4 and embossed with the Wintry 3D embossing folder, because this folder is only 4″ wide I ran it through the Stampin Up Die cut and Embossing machine twice overlaying the embossed image which will be covered up by the next layer
  3. I cut a Highland Heather layer 2 1/4 x 4 1/2 and a Basic White layer 2 x 4 1/4 and attached these together with liquid glue
  4. I cut a silver foil circle out using the Scalloped Circle Dies and embossed it with the Wintry 3D embossing folder as well.
  5. I die cut the circle in half and glued the edge to the back of the Highland Heather layer
  6. I attached this layer to my card with liquid glue
  7. Using the Christmas Tree dies from the Whimsy and Wonder Collection I die cut one tree in Silver and one in Highland Heather. I popped out the bits from each tree and matched them in the holes and used tape on the back of the trees to keep the bits in the trees
  8. I made some loops for behind the trees using the Simply Elegant trim and stuck it down using dimensionals
  9. I popped the trees up using dimensionals
  10. I stamped the goat from the Way to Goat stamp set and colored it using the Stampin Blends in Light Smokey Slate and the flower was Real Red and Old Olive
  11. I fussy cut out the goat then popped it up with dimensionals
  12. On a piece of Basic White I stamped the sentiment in Versa Mark and heat embossed in Silver embossing powder and then layered it on a piece of Highland Heather and attached it to the card using dimensionals
  13. I placed 3 of the Fresh Freesia jewels from the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels on the card
