Hello Crafters,

When you purchase the bundle option of our festive Chloe's Creative Cards Collection box kit 19, you will receive a fab Bauble limited-edition stamp set that has been designed to work alongside the other elements from the kit.

Today, Glynis shares TWO gorgeous card designs made using this stamp set as an extra-special bonus. The first is a contemporary red, white and blue creation, and the second is a deep-coloured vintage-style design. Both can be easily recreated by following Glynis's in-depth tutorials below!

Instructions:

1 Score and fold the A3 white card in half, find the middle and cut in half to make two card blanks.

2 Using the Basic Rectangles die set, cut the first one in silver mirror card and secure onto the base card with foam pads. From the Starlit Christmas foiled paper pad, colour the white patterned foiled paper with Chipped Sapphire ink, go around the four sides using Silver Crystal Sparkelicious glitter and attach to the main card with foam pads. Using smaller dies from the set, cut in silver mirror card and white card. Stamp and heat-emboss the bauble stamp onto the white die-cut panel using Polished Silver embossing powder and the clear embossing inkpad.

3 Colour the large bauble and smaller snowflake using a water brush and Chipped Sapphire ink. Colour the small baubles, small bows, and large bow with the red and blue marker pens. Cover the small bows with Red Poinsettia Sparkelicious glitter and apply Glossy Accents to the small baubles.

4 Stamp and heat-emboss the image again, and repeat the colouring of the large bauble and bow. Fussy-cut both images out, then fix the small red and clear jewels to the bauble and secure them in place with 3D glue gel. Cover the large bow with Red Poinsettia Sparkelicious glitter and secure in place, along with a blue jewel from the Frosty Christmas Bling Box.

5 From the Pearly Square die set, cut a small die on white card. Trim down to fit the base card, cover with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter, decorate with red jewels from the Elegant Christmas Bling Box and secure in place. Finally, decorate the background with small red and clear jewels.

Instructions:

1 Place the top of the largest die from the Gilded Squares die set just over the fold on the base card and die-cut. Using the same die, cut again in Onyx pearl card and then matt and layer together. Glitter the debossed lines using a fine-nib glue pen and Dulce de Leche Sparkelicious glitter. Cut the next die from the set in gold mirror card and affix to the base card with foam pads. Secure a panel of patterned paper from the Mistletoe Magic foiled paper pad to scrap card before die-cutting to give this layer strength, then glitter the debossed lines, as before, and secure in place with foam pads.

2 Stamp and heat-emboss the image using Starlit Gold embossing powder and the clear embossing inkpad onto Onyx pearl card. Die-cut using the Basic Rectangles die set, go around the four sides with Salted Caramel glitter, affix to a gold mirror card panel, then secure in place with foam pads.

3 Stamp and heat-emboss the image again, then fussy cut the large bauble and bow. Decorate the bauble with red and clear jewels and attach using 3D glue gel. Embellish the items in the background with Red Poinsettia Sparkelicious glitter, then decorate with nail jewels and jewels from both Bling Boxes and apply the Glossy Accents. Finish by fixing jewels to the Mistletoe Magic background.
