Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
Our color challenge led me to using Poppy Parade (one of my fave “reds”) as my main color and so…I pulled out some new Timeless Christmas DSP and the almost-too-obvious…new Santa’s Hat stamp set – both coming on 1 Sept in the new catalog – to make a cute Christmas card for you! Take a look-see:
And – here’s our color challenge.
I also snagged a card layout from the Sunday Stamps challenge.
I started by adhering a piece of new Timeless Christmas DSP to a Basic Black mat for the card front.
I selected a second design, matted it on Basic Black, and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
On a 3″ x 3″ square of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the new Santa’s Hat outline image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
The fill image is Poppy Parade.
Down in the corner, I stamped the Santa’s Hat sentiment in Tuxedo Black.
I matted the panel on Basic Black and adhered it to the card front with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using a Palette Knife – I added Shimmery White Embossing Paste to his fur ruff and the pom-pom.
I added some red-and-white candy canes from the new Christmas Epoxy Shapes (coming on 1 Sept) – and set the whole thing aside to dry!
And then I set the card aside to dry.
For the inside, I stamped a second Santa’s Hat sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a Basic White panel. In the corner, I stamped the hat in Tuxedo Black and Poppy Parade inks. I added a few more of the red candy canes – cuz they’re cute!!
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base, popped the card front on with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Santa’s Hat on the front…
…and more of the Timeless Christmas DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Well – how cute did this turn out?! I love the simple Santa’s Hat set – just the hat and a few cute sentiments! Pair it with some fun paper – like the Timeless Christmas DSP – and…boom! Instant Christmas card! 🙂
I hope you like – and are adding these to your 1 Sept gotta-get-it list!!
