Hi Stampers!
I wanted to create another Christmas card this weekend and decided
to play along with the Pals Paper Arts PPA230 Color Challenge and The Fusion {Merry Christmas} Challenge.This card was also created for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club December 2014 SCSCCDEC14 Christmas Card Challenge (not a Fan Club Member yet? Check out the details here)...
Again, if
you have not already visited the above sites, I hope you will find the time to do
so- they both have fabulous Design Teams as well as inspirational galleries!
I used quite a few of my scraps to create this Clean
and Layered (CAL) card:
Ink
the sentiment from Merry Little Christmas using Cherry Cobbler
Classic Ink and stamp onto Very Vanilla cardstock.
Use
the Big Shot™ with the Banner Collection Framelits™ to cut the banner and cut another banner (the same size) from a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Mount the Cherry Cobbler banner behind the
sentiment allowing a bit of the Cherry Cobbler to show at the bottom.
Adhere
a piece of Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the top of the embossed
Very Vanilla panel (I found this embossed piece in my scraps) and sponged a bit of Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink over the white plaid to tone it down a bit :-)
Mount
the sentiment banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and adhere
the layered background panel onto a piece of Baked Brown Sugar cardstock.
Trim the panel and add
the 1” Cherry Cobbler Stitched Edge Grosgrain Double Ribbon Bow.
Mount the entire
card front onto the Cherry Cobbler card base.
Stamp
the gingerbread men from Scentsational Season using Baked
Brown Sugar Classic Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and cut each gingerbread
man out using the Holiday Collection Framelits™.
Adhere
the gingerbread men to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Using
the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blendabilities™ marker, color the Pearls and
once dried, add to the gingerbread to finish off the card.
