If you’re anything like me, once Halloween hits, the time just gets away from you. That’s when those ideas for last minute Christmas cards really come in handy.
Fragrant Forest
The Fragrant Forest background stamp is the perfect choice for a Last Minute Christmas Card. You pretty much just need to add a greeting and you’re finished.
Instructions
Cut Shaded Spruce cardstock to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score on the long side at 4 1/4 to make your card base.
Cut a panel of Basic White to 4 x 5 1/4 and stamp Fragrant Forest in Shaded Spruce*. Attach panel to card base with Stampin’ Seal.
Cut a Real Red strip 1″ x 4″. Attach across bottom area of tree panel.
Stamp Merry Christmas in Shaded Spruce on a scrap of Basic White and cut it with the coordinating label die. Attach to card with Dimensionals.
Tie a double bow of Linen Thread onto left side of label.
Embellish with Rhinestone Basic Jewels colored with Real Red Blends.
*Tip: For these large background stamps, I find it easier to lay the stamp rubber side up and pat with my ink pad until well covered. Then carefully place white panel on top of stamp, cover with a piece of scrap paper and holding it carefully in position, rub all over.

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.
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!
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.
