Joyeux Noel

More ideas for using your free Stephanie Dyment for Papermania Dove stamp.

Christmas Table Place Names
Designer: Jenny Pearce

Score and fold a piece of white cardstock and cut to 4.5cm x 11.5cm (1 ¾” x 4 ½”) approximately. Place a strip of Papermania Joyeux Noel bauble paper across the bottom and add an Anita’s white glittery border sticker where the paper meets the card. Round the corners of the card with an X-Cut corner rounding punch. Stamp the dove onto white cardstock in either red or green ColorBox chalk ink, cut to a neat rectangle and round the corners. Double mount this onto red and green mirri card, before attaching to the place name card. Allow the image to rise above the spine of the place name card. Hand-write or use rub-ons for the person’s name.

Acetate Card
Designer: Sue Law

This card is the same as the one shown in the magazine but using a turquoise shade for a more wintery feel. Using heavy-duty acetate make a card 13.5cm (5 ¼”) square. Stamp the dove in white StazOn around the edge of the acetate. Stamp and heat emboss the dove on plain card that co-ordinates with the papers chosen. Using alternating papers die cut four shapes in increasing sizes.  Mount onto the front of the card. Mat and layer more die cut paper on the inside and back of the card so that all glue is concealed. Trim with co-ordinating ribbon.

Dove Bookmark
Designer: Sue Law

The dove image doesn’t have to be only for Christmas. Stamp and heat emboss dove and text stamp (Non-Sequitur, Kimonos and Cranes) in clear embossing powder onto pearlised, olive green card.  Trim close to images. Heat emboss edges with gold embossing powder then paint card with interference gold paint. Clear embossing powder acts as a resist and hence images show through the paint.  Mat and layer with patterned paper (distressed on the edges with Colorbox chalk ink) and gold card. Heat emboss edges of gold card with gold embossing powder then punch a hole at the bottom and set it with an eyelet.  Thread with co-ordinating fibres to make a tassel.
