Stamp It Group 2020 Christmas in July Blog Hop

Rachael · July 25, 2020 · 41 Comments

Welcome to Stamp It Group Christmas in July Blog Hop.

We are all using current Stampin’ Up! Products.

I’m Rachael Rife from Maryland, USA and you are visiting my blog Rachthestamper.

At the bottom of my post, you will find a list of all the participating blog hoppers so you can move along from blog to blog and see all the fantastic projects.

Make sure to leave a comment on each blog with the hashtag #stampitcontest to be entered to win the Looking Up card kit!

This is the Polar Express!

I knew as soon as I saw Christmas Means More & Moving Along stamps,

Colored in w Stampin’ Blends

I HAD TO make a Polar Express Christmas card!

Bell Gold Heat Embossed, then colored in Bell with Blends and Marker

If you know me just a little, you know my son LOVES trains, especially The Polar Express!

Clear embossed over the Engine and cars

I have so many more ideas but I started with this one.

Three colors used for Northern Lights

 

Sponged all three colors onto Whisper White
Then covered entire base with Memento Black ink
Needed a layer for the front but not a whole panel, so I used the 2nd largest Stitched Rectangle, which I then used inside!

 

As you can see I took step by step pics, but I am happy to do video of this if anyone would like to see it done as I go.

Added white dots, aka Snow or Stars with a White Gel pen

You can see I did a Northern Lights style sky and the dots can be stars or snow….your choice 😉

Also some wind swirls with Wink of Stella
I also used Shimmery Crystal Effects on the Bell. It’s not fully dry yet, it will be totally clear when it is.

CARD RECIPE

Misty Moonlight base: 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″

Whisper White layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″, I used the 2nd largest stitched rectangle and cut it out for the inside. I didn’t need a full layer, so I saved paper!

Whisper White layer: 3 3/4″ x 5″

Whisper White scraps for Engine and Cars, sentiment and Bell
