Hello there, this is Yana Smakula for Paper Trey Ink and thank you for joining me today.
In this video I will show you how to stamp Clean & Modern looking Christmas cards that
are easy to mass produce and are mail-friendly and don't take long to make.
Sometimes I get carried away and come up with these complex handmade card ideas that look
great, but often are hard to make so for today's video I decided to make something simple and
easy to copy.
And I'd like to encourage you to pull out your stamps and inks and play and create identical
or similar cards.
I started working on this project by trimming my Stamper's Select white paper to 4 1/4 x
5 1/2 inches.
You can do your stamping directly on a front of a card if you like, I prefer to cut a panel,
stamp on a panel and later adhere that panel onto a card base versus stamping direclty
on the base of the card.
This is just my personal prefference.
I'm going to use Cutaway Tags: Winter stamp set to do most of the stamping for my cards
and I'll use this set in a way that it wasn't really designed to use.
There's a coordinating die for this set that allows you to create beautiful tags, but I'm
not going to use it today, I'm just going to use the stamp set on its own.
I picked two colors of green ink for my stamping - a lighter and darker green and I'll have
all the names of the products I am using today listed in the video description below or in
the blog post associated with this video.
If you want to use a non traditional Christmas color combo for these cards - you can definitely
do that, you'll just need to pick a lighter and darker colors of ink for your stamping.
Think about using pinks or reds or teal colors. I think that will look really great too.
There are two Holly branches in this stamp set and I'm stamping one, the larger branch,
using lighter ink color, and the other, smaller branch, using darker ink color.
The reason I picked lighter green for the larger branch is because I want my card to
have more of this light green color versus having more of the dark green.
If you want your card to be darker - use a darker ink pad color for the larger stamp
and lighter one for the smaller stamp.
I am stamping these images around the edges of my panel creating a frame so to speak,
so I am framing the white center of this panel with stamped holly leaves.
This created this illusion of a continuous pattern and makes it look like as if this
piece was cut out from a larger patterned sheet.
I am double stamping all of these images just to get a richer, brighter ink color.
These images aren't too detailed so I have no problem double stamping them using a clear
block - so Im just eye balling the placement, but you can certainly use a stamp positioning
tool if you want.
I decided not to use a stamp positioning tool for this projest since I'm doing so much stamping
and I'm stamping one image repeatedly onto multiple sections of my panel.
If I were to stamp 10 or 20 of these cards I'd definitely use my stamp positioning tool.
This stamp set has a detailed layer to the holly leaves - these are these fun dashed
lines that you can stamp in a darker ink color or you can heat emboss over your leaves if
you want to add more detail to your card.
I kept my images as is without the second layer stamping because I felt they looked
a bit more modern this way.
I will show you another card idea at the end of this video, one that features a rather
vintage look using the same supplies.
Now these branches also have berries to them and you can stamp these using red ink or again
you can heat emboss them or you can use enamel dots or gems or even little sequins.
I'm not going to stamp these berries as I know I'll use my Nuvo drops in red and will
add dimensional berries onto the card, so really there's no need to do the stamping.
I also need to create a sentiment to complete my card.
I'm using Poppy Red cardstock for this - it will go nicely together with the green colors
that I used for my stamping and I'm going to heat emboss a frame that will house a sentiment.
I'm first stamping this fun frame from the Gathered Garden stamp set - I'm stamping it
in clear embossing ink and I've already prepped my paper with an anti static powder tool to
ensure I'll have nice and clean embossed image.
Next, I'm going to add a sentiement.
I'm not heat embossing my frame just yet - I'll heat emboss everything at once to minimize
the amount of warping on my paper from all the heat.
I am using a sentiment that comes from the Very Merry stamp set - and this set has several
fun sentiments that all fit inside this frame.
I've added white embossing powder and now heat setting it with my heat tool.
Love the look of white on red - it's always a winning color combination for the Holidays.
I have a lot of that anti statci powder left on my paper so I'm going to use my pencil
eraser and will go over the paper to erase the powder, it doesn't damage my heat embossing,
but cleans up the powder nicely.
Now I just need to use a coordinating die and cut this frame out in my Platinum die
cutting machine.
I've taped the frame onto the paper to make sure its not going to move as I send it through
the machine.
And here's my sentiment frame all nice and ready.
I want to foam mount it onto the card, but I dont want to use foam adhesive, I'd rather
add a slid layer of fun foam under the frame.
To do this I'm adding strong double sides sticky to both sides of a fun foam piece I've
cut slightly bigger than my frame.
You can use Stick it adhesive or Scrapbook Adhesives Adhesive Sheets or Easy Cut adhesive
from Thermoweb.
Going to place my die on top and will send this through my die cutting machine to cut.
This is not a detailed die - so it cut through fun foam and two layers of adhesive without
any problems.
I'm going to adhere my frame onto the fun foam die cut and will go ahead and adhere
that onto my card - I already created an A2 top folding card base and adhered my stamped
Holly panel on top.
All that's left to do now is add the little red berries.
I'm using Nuvo drops in Red Berry color and adding small dimensonal dots onto my card
- I feel these dots add a lot of interest to this otherwise very simple card.
Here's another card I stamped using same supplies, but slightly different technique - while the
card I shared in my video has a very clean & modern look to it, this one is look much
more vintage and is defintely done in a different style.
I heat embossed the detailed layer on the holly leaves and also blended light green
ink around the edges to darkern them up a bit and direct the eye to the heat embossed
sentiment in the center.
I personally love the Clean & Modern design better, but I know a lot of you love the vintage
look as well. Let me know is the comments which card you like best.
Here's a closer look at my modern Christmas cards.
I hope you'll give this idea a try!
So this finishes today's video.
Thank you so much for joining me today, I hope you feel inspired to create!
I'll see you next time, bye!
