Christmas in July Stamp Camp- Hope & Peace

 

Today was my Christmas in July Stamp Camp using the Online Exclusive stamp set, Hope & Peace! 

Below are the cards we made for this event! If you would like to sign up for my August Event, Online Bingo, scroll down to the bottom for sign up! 

Fun Fold card with stamping directly onto the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. 

I love the inside greeting for this card! 

The embellishments on this card are my favorite! Real Red and Burlap Ribbon plus the Snowflakes. 

Super simple and classic Christmas Card using red, white and blue (it is July still after all). 

This layout works great to make 4 cards out of one piece of 6 x 6 DSP. 

The DSP does all the work for this card but it is the Gold Heat embossing that steals the show! 

Another simple, but great card to mass produce! 

This one uses the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine to emboss the paper and die cut the label. 

I love the pairing of the DSP with the greeting from this set. 

This one looks like a Christmas ornament or Christmas gift, depending on where you place the bow. 

Can you name the song this greeting is from? We played a fun name that Christmas Song at Stamp Camp as well! 

Here is what their kits looked like. It was full of chocolates, kits, chapstick, Santa-tizer, a Christmas pen, DSP, Dimenionals, Snowflake embellishments, ribbons, and more!

Stamp Set of the Month- Cheerful Daisies

 

When you order the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set from me in July, I'll send you this 4 card kit for FREE! But what is a stamp set without the awesome dies? Be sure to bundle and save 10% when you order them together from my online store. 

In this kit, I really wanted to showcase different ways to use the set. So I have a card with only stamped images, one featuring the DSP, one showing how to stamp and die cut, and one with mostly just the dies! Let me know which one is your favorite! 

Stamping Only

This card is super fun as the daisies inner fill stamp creates the background. I did die cut the label and heat emboss on it the greeting, but this card is a nice one to make lots of. 

Measurements

Thick Basic White: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored @ 4 1/4"

Garden Green: 4" x 5 1/4"

Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"

Ribbon: 7 inches & 5 inches

Steps

1. Measure, score, and cut your paper. 
2. Die cut from the center of the Garden Green the label. Heat emboss on that label with the White Embossing Powder. 
3. Stamp in Crushed Curry onto the Basic White starting with the biggest daisy first (about 3 of them). Stamp 3 of the smaller daisies. 
4. Stamp in Garden Green leaves around or near the daisies. 
5. Glue the Basic White to the Garden Green and attach the ribbon from top to bottom and secure the back of it with Tear Tape or Seal +. Wrap the 5 inch ribbon near the top and make a knot bow (tie a knot twice). 
6. Glue that all to the cardbase with liquid glue. 
7. Attach the label with dimensionals. 
8. Embellish with the Iridescent Rhinestones. 

Designer Series Paper

This card has such a simple layout this is great to repeat with any DSP but I did use the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper for this look.

4. Glue the panels onto the cardbase. 
5. Embellish with the Loose Daisy. 

Stamps & Dies

3. Die cut the scallop rectangle from the Basic White. Stamp 4 sets of leaves. Stamp full strength and then right beside it, without inking again, stamp another leaf. 
4. Stamp the greeting in the bottom right corner using the Shaded Spruce ink. 
5. Glue the DSP to the cardbase and attach the scallop rectangle with dimensionals. 
6. Attach the daisies with dimensionals. 
7. Embellish with the Tinsel Gems. 

Dies

Lastly, is just the dies to make this floral card. However, we did die cut twice the same 3 flowers and then cut them apart to be colored on their centers and placed onto of the 3 together to create a fun layered look.
