Lights Aglow

Lights Aglow Set

Hello and welcome to this week’s FAB Stampers post. Leonie wrote this post last week, but it’s not been a great week in the Moss house, so I’m posting it today. Leonie used the Lights Aglow Bundle and Designer Series Paper Pack.

Lights Aglow Suite

The Lights Aglow Suite is an awesome collection of products. So awesome in fact that it contains two Stamp & Die Bundles!

For my projects today I’ve only used the Brightest Glow Bundle and Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper.

Lights Aglow Set

These four cards come from one of the sheets from the Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper Pack. I wanted to show you how you can make quick, easy and fun designs from this one sheet of paper.

I opted to make two from each sheet for you. You will get 4 sheets of each colour in your pack so you could make quite a few cards like these and be set for Christmas!

4 x 4 Cards

I love making 4×4 cards. They are quick and fun and will fit in a standard sized envelope for mailing.

To make these cards, I cut the card base to 10.5cm x 21cm (4×8 inches) then folded in half. I cut a piece of the Festive Foils in the coordinating colours slightly smaller to give a fine border. The colours used are Cherry Cobbler and Soft Succulent.

After cutting the Designer Series Paper in four pieces, I layered this onto a piece of Distressed Gold Foil. This was adhered to the card base with Dimensionals. The sentiments were stamped on the same colour cardstock as the base then cut with the Stylish Shapes (Square) or Labels Aglow (round) dies.

I stamped in VersaMark and then used Gold Embossing Powder. I finished my cards off with a small Gold Twine Bow and some Festive Pearls.

Gift Tags

As the panels were 3×3 size I figured they’d be the perfect size for Gift Tags. I dont know about you but I never have enough Gift Tags for Christmas gifts. I’ll be able to make oodles of these with this paper pack!

Lights Aglow Tags

I was pretty happy with how these turned out!

To start, I cut a base 3×6 and folded in half. Using a folded tag allows you to pop a little wish inside. Before adhering the frame piece to my card base, I affixed the ribbon with some Tear ‘n Tape. Using Tear ‘n Tape will secure the ribbon and affix the panel piece on top.

I then layered the sentiment piece on top and finished off with a bow and embellishments.

I hope these projects inspire you to use that frame piece of Designer Series Paper.

Trees for Sale

Trees for Sale Inside

It’s Saturday!! And time for another FAB (Friends Across Borders) Stampers post. It’s my turn, and I’ve chosen to use the Trees for Sale stamp set and the Tree Lot Dies for my project.

Trees for Sale Stamp Set

This adorable stamp set is in the new July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. It’s been such a popular set that it is currently unavailable in the US, but it will be back soon, so be sure to put it on your wish list.

Tree Lot Dies

I’m also using the Tree Lot Dies today. You can get these dies FREE with a qualifying order as part of Sale-a-bration during July and August. These seem to be going quickly, so grab yours while they are available, as everything in the Sale-a-bration brochure is WHILE SUPPLIES LAST, and some things have already sold out.

A Simple Card

I chose to make this card very simple…..on the front!

I cut three strips of Basic White cardstock, then used the two-layer stamps from Trees for Sale to stamp a tree on each strip. First, I stamped the bottom layer of the trees with Soft Succulent. Next, I stamped the more detailed layer of the tree with Evening Evergreen.

Trees for Sale Front

I mounted the three strips on a Soft Succulent panel, wrapped it with Early Espresso Faux Suede Ribbon and tied a bow on the ribbon with Linen Thread. This panel is mounted on an Evening Evergreen card base.

I stamped the sign and used the coordinating dies from the Tree Lot Dies to cut it out, then used a Dimensional to pop it under the edge of the ribbon.

I chose not to bling this card out, but you certainly could add rhinestones to these trees for sparkle.

The Inside

I decided to make the inside of this card special, so I made a pop-up. This is a simple pop-up, and you can find instructions almost anywhere. Or contact me, and I’ll be happy to help.

Trees for Sale Inside

I stamped the light poles in Soft Suede and the strings of lights in Memento Tuxedo Black. Then I colored the lights using Blends. The snowflakes and paw prints are stamped in Balmy Blue, and the greeting is in Evening Evergreen.

I stamped the tree, stand, and dog on a separate piece of Basic White cardstock and cut them out using the coordinating Tree Lot Dies. The dog and tree stand are Soft Suede, and the tree is Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen.

Finally, I cut the small start from Daffodil Delight cardstock and added it to the tree, along with Rhinestones colored with the same Blends as the lightbulbs. The dog, tree stand, and tree are glued to the pop-up.

I made another card using the Trees for Sale Stamp Set and the Tree Lot Dies. I don’t have instructions for this card, but it uses a side-step fun fold. It was a lot of fun to make, but pretty detailed.

Splendid Thoughts

Splendid Thoughts SAB Card Duo

It’s Saturday, so it must be time for another FAB Stampers share! This week its Leonie’s turn and she’s used the lovely Splendid Thoughts Bundle.

FAB Stampers Logo

From Leonie’s Studio

For this week’s project I really wanted to use something from the Sale-a-bration Brochure. While contemplating all the items you can earn free, I opted for the gorgeous Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes

These Cards & Envelopes are really lovely … you’ll get 10 cards in Pool Party and 10 in Soft Sea Foam and 20 lined envelopes. The best part about this pack is they are FREE with a qualifying order! They have a faint design on the card front which matches the Splendid Thoughts Bundle perfectly.

The Projects

I didn’t want to make the cards too busy so opted for a simple design on top. I’ve used a couple of different rectangle dies to cut my Basic White. One from the Deckled Rectangles Die set and the other is from the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

Splendid Thoughts SAB Card Duo

After cutting out my rectangle I placed one of the Leaf dies from the Splendid Stems Dies and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss with the rectangle pieces. To keep my leaf in the frame I flipped it over and placed mini Dimensionals over the edges to keep them together and just popped out the centre of the leaves for the card pattern to show through.

Soft Sea Foam Card

For my Soft Sea Foam card I cut another leaf in the Soft Sea Foam and popped that inside the frame for a more defined look.

Which frame do you like better?

The Details

The sentiments were stamped in VersaMark, then I white embossed them and cut them out with the Stylish Shapes dies. As the one of Soft Sea foam was a little hard to see I used my blending brushes and Soft Sea Foam Ink to make it pop.

To finish off my cards I added a silver bow using the Simply Elegant Trim and added some of the gorgeous Festive Pearls for a little bling.
