We
are also celebrating by highlighting previous stamp sets and I will be sharing
a card designed with three previously released sets: Christmas Silhouettes, Texture Tiles I, and Texture Tiles 4.
I was
inspired by the Just Us Girls #464 Inspiration Challenge (love the white with the red) and will also be
linking this card to the Simon
Says Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage
you to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the reindeer image from Christmas
Silhouettes with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink, apply clear
embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Once the image has cooled, fussy-cut the image (I used my Brother Scan ‘n
Cut machine with a .04 border).
2).
Create the plaid banner by lining up and stamping the buffalo plaid image (Texture
Tiles 4) with
Versafine™
Onyx Black Ink onto cherry cardstock. Die cut the panel
with a stitched banner die (FYI- I split the banner in half to create a longer
length).
3).
Repeatedly stamp the snowflake image from Christmas
Silhouettes onto a piece of white cardstock with Versamark™ ink, apply
white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool. Trim the panel for the
background and watercolor a bit of diluted hickory smoke distress ink over the
snowflakes before mounting onto a piece of black cardstock.
4).
Die cut a piece of black cardstock with a horizontal stitched strip die, split
the die in the center (to spread to the width of the card- this will be covered
up by the main focal image), adhere to the card front with the stamped buffalo
plaid banner. Adhere a strip of 1 ¼”
Cherry Grosgrain Ribbon (in the center of the horizontal strip die) before
mounting the entire panel onto a white card base.
5).
Die cut a circle of white cardstock with a stitched circle die, stamp the music
image from Texture
Tiles I with hickory smoke distress ink and mount onto a black cardstock circle.
6).
Stamp the sentiments from Christmas
Silhouettes using Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink onto white
cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool. Once
the embossing has cooled, trim the panels and create the banner points with a
punch (or by hand), mount each onto black cardstock and create matching banner
points.
7).
Mount the “Merry Christmas” sentiment directly onto the card front at the top, adhere
the stamped musical die cut circle in the center with dimensional foam and mount
the “and Happy New Year” sentiment with dimensional foam at the bottom of the circle.
8).
Add the fussy cut reindeer with dimensional foam to the card front.
9).
Adhere a large 1 ¼” Cherry Grosgrain bow (I used hot glue) along with a white
cardstock snowflake for the center and a large rhinestone. Adhere a metal snowflake charm below the lower
sentiment and add a few Nuvo™ Grey Mist crystal drops to the snowflakes in the
background as well as the musical area to finish off the card.
