Bauble Blooms Merry Christmas Card. We Fall in Colours Blog Hop -December 2025

Good Evening Everyone,

I hope you are all well? Today I'm taking part in the We Fall in Colours Blog Hop. This month we have Crumb Cake, Blueberry Bushel and Pool Party to work with. I love this combination, and decided to create a lovely Christmas Card with the Bauble Blooms bundle as my focus.

What do you think?

------------------------------------------------

Take the Blueberry Bushel card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base - adding the Basic White piece to the inside.

Bring in your Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine and run the the scrap of Crumb cake through using the border die piece from Beautiful motifs die set. Then run the two frames back through in the geometric pattern embossing folder.

Lightly add some crumb cake ink to the frames to help deepen the effect of the frames.

Add the frames to to card front. I placed the larger one first, then added the smaller one inside, but I made sure that the heavier embossing details were opposite on each frame - just to add a little more interest.

Now head back to the Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine - take the scraps of Pool Party and cut out two Baubles, and then cut two of the Bauble Clips in Blueberry Bushel.

Ink up the leaf image in Pool Party and stamp onto the baubles, then ink up the floral outline image ad stamp this on the bauble as well. These stamps are fabulous, and you stamp in the same place, over the top of each other - but each stamp has the detail in a different place, so you build a full image over three stamps ( I haven't used the solid in fill stamp to colour int he flowers on this project).

Using a little liquid glue, stick on the clips to the top of the baubles and arrange both onto the card front. I stuck the one on the left flat, and then added dimensionals to the one on the right.

Stamp the words Merry & Christmas onto scraps of Crumb Cake Card Stock using Blueberry Bushel ink the cut out using the Banner Sayings Punch. Gently add a little ink to the edges and then place on the card front with dimensionals.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today and will give the card a go - I adore it in this colour way but I think it would look just as good in some many more!

Please take a few minutes to continue through the hop. These ladies are super talented and you are sure to get lots of creative inspiration. Simone Kleine is up next so be sure to go say hello.

Friends are Like Flowers - You are Remarkable Greeting Card

Good Morning Everyone,

Today I'm sharing a card I made a little while ago, but never shared - so here it is.

I absolutely love the You are Remarkable stamp set - the flower is so pretty and looks fabulous when coloured. Today however, I decided to use card stock and an inked outline image to give me some colour and some wonderful circles for interest.

What do you think?

------------------------------------

Take your Basic Gray card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base.

Ink up the flower image in Basic Gray ink and stamp all over one of the Basic White card stock pieces. Gently ink the edges with Basic Gray and add to the card front, also ink the edges of the remaining piece of Basic White and add this to the inside of the card.

Using the scraps of coloured card, cut out one 2/3" circle using the punch in each colour.

Ink up the flower image in the same colour ink as the card and stamp so that you get the whole flower head on it. Then lightly add ink in the same colour around the edges of the circle. Repeat for all three colours.

On a scrap of Basic White stamp the sentiment in Basic Gray ink, trim and then add Basic Gray ink to the edges as well.

Arrange the sentiment and the circles onto to card front - making sure you've spaced evenly. Adhere the two lower circles and the sentiment flat and then pop the Melon Mambo circle up on dimensionals.

I loved creating this card it's a quick and easy make, minimal supplies and a good way to use up scraps! Would work with so many different colour combinations!
