Homey Christmas - Stampin' Up!® Home for Christmas

     When new Christmas products are released I always like to get one of the bundles or suites that has classic Christmas images and or red/green color combo.  I find that you can go wrong with the basics and the new Home for Christmas bundle and Timeless Christmas DSP are a wonderful pairing!

  A gingerbread man, a tree and peppermint candies!  Throw in red plaid and some scallops and it's even better!  I used the Sunday Stamps challenge for this great layout.  The center panel is perfect for showing off the images.

  I started this one with a Peaceful Pine card base, then used a panel of the Timeless Christmas DSP in this big red plaid pattern.  Next comes a band of Peaceful Pine embossed with the new Softly Woven embossing folder.  I wrapped the band with some Peaceful Pine bordered ribbon and a fork bow.

  Next is a a Scalloped Christmas Cheer die cut.  I used a piece of Basic White that I had in my stash that was already embossed with the retired Beautiful Pattern embossing folder.  The largest scalloped rectangle in this die set is the perfect size for an A2 card front.  I used the second largest on this card.

  The cute little images come next!  I popped them on dimensionals.  And the candies have a fun little detail that's hard to see in the photos but after the candy portion is stamped and die cut I added a clear layer on top for the cellophane wrapper using some thin sheets of acetate.  The regular window sheets are too thick for the die to cut (I tried) so I used the extra acetate that used to come with the photopolymer stamp sets in the old packaging.  To adhere them without the glue or tape runner showing I just pressed the acetate onto the adhesive sheets to basically create a sticker.  Looks just like the candies your grandma had in the bottom of her purse!  Though maybe a little less dusty lol!

  Finally the sentiment from the new Soiree Salutations is stamped in black and trimmed down to fit on the candy.  A few retired Dear Dots in Poppy Parade in the corner are finishing touch.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
