Trying to get my crafty mojo back this week. I decided to make a Christmas card using some Craftin Desert Diva's Stamps and some of my other new products (& a few old products too).
I made this an A-2 sized top folding card with ivory card stock. The plain green and pattern green papers are from a 6x6 Authentique stack I picked up at the scrapbook expo that I went to with my good friend
Cheryl Scrappinmini a few months back. The red and Ivory card stock are from
Recollections. I used my brand new Crafter's Companion Embossalicious folder
"Seasonal Music" to emboss the Ivory layer that I then took my
Tim Holtz blending tool and went over the whole thing with walnut stain distress ink covering the corners and edges darker. I then took abandoned Coral distress ink with my blending tool and went over corners and edges again blending in toward the center. I rolled the left corner and rubbed that underside corner with walnut stain as well. For the centerpiece of this card I used Craftin Desert Diva's (aka CDD)
"Simply Holidays Wordart". I also cut the svg backing file for this stamp...provided by Tara from CDD in the
Facebook share group! I cut one in red to stamp onto with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and I cut another larger one in green to layer onto which I used foam tape to pop up this entire piece. I used a white gel pen to color in the dots on the word snow and the fuzzy stocking pieces. I also used an adorable owl stamp from CDD
"Owl-idays" peeking out from behind the rolled music sheet. I cut him out with my new
SNC2, colored him in with my new
Spectrum Noir markers and used
glossy accents for the rim of the hat. I also used some fun CDD
"Merry Mix" sequins that I won a month or so back (
playing bingo I think) for one of the new release party weeks... Thank you Tara... Love them!!!
Oh, and last but not least for the front I added some black enamel dots to the three corners of the music sheet and one medium sparkly one to the top of the little owl's hat that I also won from another company .
For the inside I carried over the same fun theme using some of the same papers as the front to add some trim strips. I used a spellbinders die cut for the ornaments down the strip stamping each one with an owl face again from CDD
"Owl-idays" stamp set. I placed 1 of each color of the sequins to top off each hat and used a dark green sharpie to dot the center of each sequin. I used the sentiment Happy Owl-idays from that same set. At the bottom right corner I decided to use 2 stamped ornaments from CDD
"Chill Out" stamp set onto coordinating papers. I used my SNC2 to cut them out and inked them and cut inside piece out by hand ..... tricky but can be done lol
I am entering my project into these fun challenges:
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a wonderful and crafty day!
