I needed a few more Christmas cards so I decided to
think outside the box and make something unexpected and yet simple. I grabbed my Ornate Layers Dies and a stamp
set and had some fun.
Here is what I came up with…
The card base is Shaded Spruce cardstock that is cut 5
½ x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. I then die cut
my Real Red Layer using the Ornate Layers Dies from the Annual Catalog and
added it to the center of my card base.
I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 3 3/8 x 2” and I
used a technique I have not done in a while.
I used my Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Markers (be sure you
are not using the Stampin’ Blends because they are alcohol and will ruin your
stamps) and I selected the stamp you see here from the For Unto Us stamp
set. I used my markers and colored in
each of the areas with the color I wanted (so basically, I colored everything
with the Shaded Spruce except for the word Christmas) I then huffed on my stamp
(to simply release your breath out close to your stamp to add moisture back to
the ink). Once it was stamped, I took
the small pointed end of my marker and added my red berries.
Now I layered that stamped piece onto a piece of
Shaded Spruce cardstock that measured 3 5/8 x 2 ¼” and then I centered that on
my Ornate Layers piece and popped it up using Dimensionals. For my final addition I added a bow made from
the Real Red Satin Ribbon and one of the green gems from the Holiday Rhinestone
Basic Jewels.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making
it. As always you can find the supplies
