Retro Ornaments Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a slimline card using the wonderful Retro Ornaments set. This set makes it easy to create quick, beautiful Christmas cards!

I first created a red card base using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. Then I trimmed a panel of Kraft cardstock slightly smaller than the base, stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment and the strings and adhered it to the card. Now I stamped the ornaments, using Festive Berries, Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide Inks.

Stamps and dies used:
Retro Ornaments stamps + dies
Season's Greetings stamps + dies
Slimline Scalloped Frame dies

I die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered them to the card, raising some with foam tape. I stamped the tree sprigs from Season's Greetings with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Inks, die-cut them and adhered them, too. Finally, I made little bows from white twine and added these to the ornaments and twigs.

I hope you like today's inspiration! Thanks for stopping by, see you next week!

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I'm featuring the Retro Ornaments Stamps from another great layering stamp set. I tried to use it in a more modern way with a different color scheme. I really like non-traditional colors like pink and turquoise for Christmas.

I started off with a card base that measures 4.5" x 5.75" and also cut an extra white cardstock panel to the same size. To create a frame, I used the stitched die from the Frilly Frames Herringbone Die set. I covered the front of the card with one of the Subtle Grey Tones papers.

Next, I stamped the layered ornaments with dye inks (you can find the colors listed below). For the hanger thingies at the top, I did some heat embossing with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the ornaments.

Altenew Dye Inks used: pink ornament: Pinkalicious, Rubellite; turquoise ornament: Dew Drop, Aqualicious, Teal Cave; patterned ornament: Cotton Candy, Ruby Red, Galactic Stream; pine tree sprigs: Sweet Leaf, Just Green, Hunter Green

Of course, I needed something to attach them to, so I stamped a couple of pine tree sprigs from the Classy Christmas set in green inks mixing the shades directly on the stamp. I cut them out with the matching dies and arranged them to a cluster that stretches over the top of the card.

I attached shiny aqua strings to the ornaments and adhered them to the card background. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Surfing Santa set with Liquid Platinum as well. For some dimension, I popped up the sprigs and the white frame with foam tape. To finish off my card, I added two mirrored stars as embellishments.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you're having a fabulous day!
