Hi
Friends!
I
hope all of you are having a wonderful week so far! It’s time for the new Splitcoaststampers’ SC621Sketch Challenge and I just love the sketch that Diane designed for us this
week!
I
decided to create a Clean and Simple (CAS) Christmas card with the retired Stampin’
Up! Christmas Star (Holiday Single) stamp along with a sentiment from the
retired Contempo stamp set.
I
am also linking this card to the Hand Stamped Sentiments HSS252 Inspiration Challenge (I was inspired by the reds and greens as well as the white) along
with the Time Out #71 “Christmas with an Optional Twist of Glitter/Shimmer” Challenge.
If
you have not already visited the above challenge sites yet, I hope you will
have a chance to do so- fabulous inspiration from my DT Sisters at the SCS
Sketch Gallery as well as the other challenge sites!
To
create this card:
Using
Stampin’ Write Markers (Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke), color the retired
Stampin’ Up! Christmas Star image, “huff” onto the ink to re-moisten and stamp
onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.
Fussy-cut
the image and use the Simply Scored™ Tool to score all of the lines. Fold the score lines to create the dimension
and use a foam brush to apply ModPodge® to the image (be careful not to press
too hard since the ink will start to run together and set it aside to dry). FYI- I like to apply ModPodge® at times to images
to give them more stability and it does have shimmer :-).
Use
the Simply Scored™ Tool to add scoring to create the “side panel” elements of
the sketch, trim the panel, mount onto Always Artichoke cardstock, trim again and
mount onto Cherry Cobbler Cardstock.
Use
Clear Wink of Stella® to add shimmer to the scored areas (difficult to see in
the photo).
Use
the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Marker Ink to ink the sentiment from the
retired Contempo Christmas stamp set and stamp onto the card front.
Mount
the entire card front onto the white card base, add the looped retired Silver
Cord and mount the Christmas Star image with dimensional foam.
