Products Used on my Stampin’ Up! Traditions of Christmas Card

I made this easel card and 3 other versions to show my August purchasing customers in Australia how to use a card kit I sent out to them. You can view a video further down in the post showing how I made these cards. This is one of the stepped up versions in the video. I think it’s my favourite of the versions I made. The stamping around the edges of the Branched Out die cut really makes a difference I think. I used the Textured Notes stamp set (see product links at the end of the post) and Old Olive ink pad for the stamping. Also I am TOTALLY in love with the Early Espresso and Old Olive Linen Thread that was released as an online exclusive this month. The texture is amazing and it makes great bows that keep their shape well.

Another new product I have used on this card are the Traditional Sparkling Sequins. These gorgeous sparkly embellishments come in four colours and two sizes that coordinate with the suite. For the sentiment, I have used two of the sentiments from the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. I am finding these perfect to add quick but elegant sentiments to my Christmas cards this year. The embossing folder is the now retired Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder.

    Oh Claire, you are certainly making those Branching Out Dies hard to resist! I love your card but even more so I loved your video and all of your tips on blending, etc. I might have to CASE your easel cards this Christmas – they are fabulous!

    A wonderful easel card, Claire. Yes, I agree, the tone on tone stamping is perfect and those Branching Out dies look great. Love this specialty patterned paper to create perfect Christmas projects!

    Hi Clare – I love your designs! Do you have the Imperial measurements listed anywhere? Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.

      Hi Carol, thanks for your lovely comment. I only do imperial measurements in my Immediate Download classes which are for sale as the conversion really adds a lot of time to the process. It’s not too hard to work out on this one though as the fold on the card front is directly in the middle of whatever card size you have.
