Stampin' Up Wonderland Christmas Card

 

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing my final Christmas Card that I made this Christmas season:

I pulled out one of all-time favourite Stampin' Up Sets called Wonderland which is retired but certainly one I could never part with.

To make my card, I ink-blended a piece of Bristol Smooth White Cardstock with Stampin' Up inks using Ranger Ink Blending Tools and Domed Pads.  The lighter blue is Soft Sky - sadly retired - and the other inks are Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy which are still current.  I did splatter the panel with some clean water just to add some a bit of extra-something to the sky.

I then stamped the trees using Night of Navy ink using 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation to add some depth.  I lightly went around the image using a bit more of the Night of Navy ink but not all the way around so I could leave the lighter areas.

I splattered the scene with some watered-down Schminke Opaque White  Watercolour Ink and a Fan Brush.  I glued on some Stampin' Up Loose White Snowflakes which are from late 2024 but are no longer available.  I used Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to glue them on which is a really strong adhesive.

I then layered the panel onto Stampin' Up Misty Moonlight Cardstock and trimmed it to 1/8" using my We R Memory Keepers Perfect Layer Guides.

The sentiment was stamped using Night of Navy ink.  I used my Stamping Platform so I could get perfect placement, plus I needed to re-stamp it a few times to get a good impression.  I diecut it using a Spellbinders Labels Trio Die and my Big Shot.

To add some sparkle, I did dots of glue with my Quickie Glue Pen and sprinkled on Hero Arts Prisma Glitter.

Once I had finished my card front, I layered it onto a Kaisercraft White Card Base using Tombow Mono Multi glue.

I wish you could see the sparkle - it looks so pretty in real life. 

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
