Yesterday I mentioned that there are always a few stamp sets in a new catalog that catch my eye and are must haves for me. Today I am using another one of those stamp sets. This one is called Christmas Magic. I even love the name!
Ginger's Snaps:
- Stamp the image on 4-1/4 x 3-1/4 Watercolor Paper with Archival Black Ink.
- Watercolor with a variety of Stampin' Up! Classic Inks using an Aqua Painter.
- A 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 piece of Cherry Cobbler c.s is scored at 4-1/4 for my card base.
- Cut a strip of 5-1/2 x 2-3/4 of This Christmas Specialty Designer Paper & adhere centered to the card base.
- Pop up the art piece with Stampin' Dimensionals centering it on all sides.
- Loop Emerald Envy Metallic Thread around 2 fingers about 5 -6 times & adhere the loops to the sign post with a Glue Dot.
- Attach a Mini Pinecone to the bow on the wreath with a Glue Dot.
Here's a magnified view of the sign with the mini pinecone. Aren't those pinecones adorable? I can't wait to use more of those!
I am having a lot of fun creating a few Christmas cards in order to provide you with some Sneak peeks from the 2016-2017 Holiday Catalog. This stamp set has an adorable snowman that I am also anxious to use.
Because my image is quite busy, I chose a simple design in order to make the art piece the center of the show. But, I do want to create a card with just the sign post.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Please leave a comment if you would like because one of the highlights of my day is hearing from my Blog Readers. I appreciate your comments & the time it takes for you to leave one.
Below is a list of products used on my card. If you see products that you would like to purchase, be sure to add them to your wish list for the September 1st start of the Holiday Catalog.
Hugs,

Stampin' Up! Supplies Used:
Love the mini pinecone touch on the North Pole sign!! Us kids would love this card!
I love this stamp set and you did a fantastic job on it. It looks like a lot of detail work but the finished project is fantastic. Now go rest your eyes.
Oh I love the little pinecone on there! Your coloring is so special once again! Oh the memories this brings back! The house I grew up was a block from the train tracks and in the next block there is a bridge over the tracks. We could hear the old fashioned coal tendered trains from quite a distance so we could all rush to get our coats etc and run and get on the bridge in time for the train to go under us. The would always blow the horn as the train station was a few blocks away. Mom wasn’t too happy with us, sometimes the steam was coal dust and we would get the soot on us! But to feel the rush of the wind from the train and thundering noise and the shaking of the bridge – it was all worthwhile to us! Imagine our surprise a few times closer to the holidays when the conductor or the guy on the caboose would throw up candy to us! They usually had a bell on the front too they would clang. It doesn’t look like this one has the bell but maybe the wreath is covering it up. The good ol’ Burlington Route! Thanks for the memories!
Love love love today’s card & yesterday’s card! This train made me think of the Xmas story about the train called the Polar Express. Love the Xmas cards you’re doing! Fabulous detail & amazing color! Awesome cards!
