Mix and Match Products for a pretty Christmas Card

Tuesday 31 August 2021

I had fun making this card as a part of a recent Card Sketch and I thought I'd share it today.  It features the Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-Bration Brochure.

Here's the sketch that I used for my card.




It's a fun sketch and a great way to use some of the Designer Series Paper you have in your stash!!

Here's my card:

  3. Cut Designer Series Paper 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" and adhere to card base about 1/2" from left edge.
  4. Cut Basic Black card stock 2" x 3 1/2"
  5. Emboss using Timber embossing folder
  6. Adhere to card base using dimensionals.
  7. Cut 8" of ribbon and fold in half and adhere to the middle of the card bae using Stampin' Sea.
  8. Stamp sentiment using Cherry Cobbler ink on a piece of Basic White card stock.
  9. Stamp snow flakes using stamped off Tuxedo Black Memento ink
  10. Cut out using Die
  11. Adhere to card base over the ribbon.

  5. Cut ribbon 6" long and wrap around bottom of Real Red card stock piece.  Adhere to the back using Stampin' Seal.
  6. Adhere to the card base using Dimensionals.
  7. Stamp image on Basic White card stock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
  8. Stamp inside of flowers using Real Red ink - some are full strength and some are stamped off.
  9. Stamp the inside of the leaves using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink - stamped off
  10. Adhere the image to the card base using Dimensionals.
  11. Stamp sentiment on a scrap of Basic White card stock and cut out with Paper Snips.
