Welcome back to The Card Concept Challenge! We are starting our January- June 2021 season and the first challenge for 2021 is #146 {Winter Warmth}.
We are excited to
be back with a few new designers on our DT- we hope you will take a moment to
visit and see how they were inspired as well:-)
Look at this fun photo! I was inspired by the Scandinavian
images (reindeer, snowflakes) along with the red and white to create a somewhat
vintage style Clean and Layered card Christmas card (I have a goal to create at least 15 cards per month- I mailed out over 150 this year and still did not mail enough, lol!).
I am also participating with the A Place To Start January 2021 “Challenge #1- Anything Goes” Challenge.
Again, if
you have not had a chance to visit The Card Concept (or A Place to Start) yet, I encourage
you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!
For the background
panel- using scraps of designer paper from a previous project, adhere to a 4 ¼”
x 5 ½” piece of white cardstock and emboss with a knit embossing folder.
Trim the embossed panel
to approx. 3 ¾” x 5”, trim the panel to 4” x 5 ¼”.
Adhere the strip of
red satin ribbon, wrap the ends behind the panel and mount onto a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece
of black cardstock. Trim and mount onto a white card base.
Prepare a piece of
white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment with
Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a
heat tool.
Once the embossing powder
has cooled, die cut with a label die and die cut the same size label from black
cardstock. Cut the black label in half,
adhere to the back of the sentiment panel and mount onto the card front with
chipboard (or dimensional foam).
Die cut two of the
deer head dies from black cardstock, mount onto one another to create a thicker
die cut.
To finish off the
card, adhere the layered deer head die cut to the card front with chipboard on
the left side (to match the level of the sentiment).
