Sentimental Trio - Stampin' Up! Sentimental Christmas DSP

   Are you still making your Christmas cards?  Do you need a few more ideas to finish up those last cards?  I created a set of 3 cards that use large panels of the Sentimental Christmas DSP that are really simple to make!

  Using the same supplies keeps these designs easy to make.  If you want to re-create these designs but don't have all the same products that I used just swap out with something similar from your stash!  I have had the Sentiment Christmas DSP since the demo preorder and I've used a bunch of the patterns but the large snowy scene with the lantern hanging from the branch didn't seem like a great one to use for cards.  I thought it would be perfect for a 12x12 scrapbook layout.  But I challenged myself to use it for cards and this is what came of it!

 These cards all use the bottom half of the larger piece and I cut them into 3 5 1/4" x 4" panels for the background.  Then I adhered them to a Pretty Peacock base.

   I used the Peaceful Seasons dies to cut the 2 layers of 'Christmas' and then the Peaceful Seasons stamp set to stamp the 'merry'.  I did one set for each card then adhered them to the card front with dimensionals.

I then embossed 6 snowflakes in white onto Pretty Peacock cardstock.  My snowflake is in the Iconic Imagery set but any snowflake around this size would work!  Once they were die cut I added a length of white baker's twine to the back of each one securing it with dimensionals.  I tucked the loose end under the dimensionals on the Christmas panel using my paper piercer to get the twine in just the right place.  

  The center of each snowflake is highlighted with a clear ribboned adhesive-backed dot.  

  Keeping the design simple, colors limited and letting the DSP do a lot of the heavy lifting these 3 cards came together in no time to add a few more cards to my Christmas stash!  Repeat with the other DSP sheet for 3 more!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
