Everything Eleanor Christmas - Part Two

 This is my second card of my personal challenge in using a non tradition stamp set to create Christmas cards.  I really enjoyed using the Everything Eleanor stamp set from Stampin Up.  I also used the new woodgrain embossing folder featured in the Holiday Mini.

Merry Christmas,

Everything Eleanor Chirstmas - Part One

I decided to challenge myself and try something new, use a none Christmas stamp set to create Christmas cards.  For this challenge I used the Everything Eleanor stamp set from Stampin Up.

This is the most simple card I created with the stamp set.  The most time consuming part is cutting the red accent piece in the background.  That didn't take too long, so I could see this as being easily mass produced.

The center snowflake is done with a retired Stampin Up snowflake punch.

Please come back tomorrow and check out another Christmas card using this stamp set.  

Thanks for stopping by,

Melanie

Primrose Snowflake

This card is another version of the card that I cased from Stamp with Heather.  I just love how the banners add extra detail and you can still stamp a sentiment at the bottom.

I used the Snow Flurry Die and the Bold Snowflake really make it pop.

For the snowflake, I used the Bold Snowflake stamp and the Snow Flurry snowflake die. 

Primerose Snow Flurry

This card is a card I cased from Stamp with Heather.  She is a Stampin Up Artisan winner and has great projects.

For this card, I decided to go for a more nontraditional Christmas color scheme.  I used Stampin Up's Primerose Petals.  I really love the soft feel this gives the card.  The Snow Flurry die accents the embossed snowflake banners in the background.  Very simple and easy to create.

Happy Crafting,

Melanie

Snow Day

As you can see, I have really been using my new snowflake stamps and dies.  This next card was done with the Bold Snowflake stamp.  It is part of the new Single stamps from Stampin Up.  I purchased it because it also coordinates with the Blossom Punch.  I am all for making my crafting time efficient and punches such do that.

I heat embossed the snowflake with clear embossing powder for the background which plays well with the Midnight Muse snowflake and spiral punch accent in the forefront.

Happy Holiday Crafting,

Melanie

Winter Snow Flurry Christmas Card

This is another Winter Snowy Christmas Card and I just love how this turned out.  This is another version of the card that I posted yesterday. 

 

This was also created with the Snow Flurry die from Stampin Up, Woodgrain embossing folder and the Bold Snowflake.  The Bold Snowflake was is one of Stampin Up's new single stamps that coordinates with the Blossom Punch.  To finish off the card I used some Cherry Cobbler twine.

Enjoy your Christmas Crafting,

Melanie

Snowy Seasons Greetings

 I am enjoying getting into the Christmas Spirit and started making some Christmas Cards for family and friends.  This one was created with the Snow Flurry die from Stampin Up and the Woodgrain embossing folder.  Both of the are new and can be found in the Stampin Up Holiday Catalog.

I will be showing you another Christmas card using the Snow Flurry die tomorrow.
Happy Crafting,

Melanie
