Lawn Fawn Christmas Mistletoe Card Idea
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! I’m delighted to welcome back from Lawn Fawn a very special guest designer, Elise Constable! She’s made this gorgeous holiday card to inspire! Read on to learn more and enjoy!
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be back on the SSS blog today with a Christmas card to share with you all!
I started by die cutting a piece of patterned paper from the Favorite Flannel paper pack with the Outside In Stitched Rectangle die, and adhering it to a white card base. Then, I die cut the leaves and branches from the Merry Mistletoe set from Noble Fir and Cilantro cardstock. I decided to switch up the colors of the berries on the branches, and instead of red, I chose to cut the berries from Pixie Dust and white cardstock.
I love to make the sentiment the star of the show, so I used the Merry Christmas Script (only used the Merry)to cut the sentiment with gold metallic cardstock. The gold sentiment pops so nicely against the greenery on the card!
After arranging the branches and sentiment on the card, I glued the piece into place. I only glued the stems of the mistletoe die cuts so that the leaves could pop up a bit from the card for extra dimension.
Next, I used embossing ink and white embossing powder to heat emboss the “christmas” sentiment onto Black Licorice cardstock. The “christmas” stamp is from the Christmas Before ‘n Afters stamp set. After cutting out the “christmas” sentiment and attaching it with foam tape, I glued a few clear sequins onto the background.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope this has inspired you to make some Christmas cards today!– Elise

And we couldn’t leave out a very Happy World Card Making Day from Simon Says Stamp! It’s a holiday created just for all of us! Last year we shared this epic video, and it’s too good not to share again!
The best thing about World Card Making Day is not only making cards, but the idea that there are people all over the WORLD making cards, too. These people share our passion for creativity and happy mail. In the spirit of this connective nature and to celebrate our favorite holiday, we’ve compiled a video featuring designers from around the world. Meet your favorite designers, peer into their worlds, and hear what they love about making cards (in 8 different languages)!
How fun was that? And now we want to hear from you… tell us your name, where you live, and what YOU love about card making!
World Card Making Day was created in 2006, and the original purpose was to kick-start the holiday card making season. Chances are you make lots of cards for Christmas, but we all know that those beautiful cards don’t come together in one night. So grab your scissors and adhesives and cardstock and stamps and make some cards today! Your family can fend for themselves, right? You deserve to celebrate.
We hope you will join us on Instagram on Thursday, October 12th for an Instagram Hop featuring our Season of Wonder release! We are excited to share awesome ideas from several creative minds using these fantastic products.
You’ll love browsing our Season of Wonder gallery on our blog for loads of additional inspiration, and you can add your projects to these galleries as well!
