Good morning, y’all! I just realized that this is a three-day weekend (at least for some folks!). Hope that if YOU get tomorrow off, too – that you’re having a good weekend. If not – well, I hope it’s STILL a good weekend!
Admin note – today is the LAST day to take advantage of my Paper & Packaging Stock Up Sale – check down below for the deets! AND – if you’ve already placed an order but haven’t told me which of the free gifties you’d like – please please please – let me know today! Otherwise…I’ll pick something and surprise you! 🙂
Today’s card goes back to one of my unexpected favorites – the Ornamental Christmas bundle and Modern Christmas Specialty DSP. I didn’t think I was going to like this suite all that much, but…boy – I sure do! Take a look-see:
This one was another riff on the sketch challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments! I love that torn edge element!
I started by adhering a piece of tree-strewn paper from the Modern Christmas Specialty DSP to the front of a Basic Black card base using Liquid Glue.
For the center panel – I used a Small Blending Brush to color a piece of Silent Snowfall Specialty DSP with Pretty in Pink ink.
I wanted the Gold Foil “mats” to have the same tear line as the Silent Snowfall panel (kind of like a fault-line card – but…not a diagonal). So – I lined up the edge of a strip of Gold Foil sheet with the edge of the Silent Snowfall paper and tore them at the same time. I did that again with a second strip of Gold Foil on other long edge of the panel.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the two Gold Foil strips to the Silent Snowfall panel to make a “mat”. Then I adhered the whole thing to the card front with Liquid Glue. Note: when I make panels that go edge-to-edge on a card front – I like to make them longer than I need and then trim the excess with a Paper Trimmer.
I used a couple of scrunched up Glue Dots to adhere a Large Gold Hoop to the card front. Note: you want to put these where they’ll be covered by the other elements on your card front!
I used the Ornamental Christmas dies to cut a large star from Gold Foil Sheet and one from Pretty in Pink cardstock. I adhered them together with Liquid Glue – then adhered the whole thing to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the Ornamental Christmas sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a piece of Basic White and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I tied a simple bow from black twine from the Black & White & Gold Baker’s Twine and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the “swag” image from the set in Pretty in Pink four or five times in a “stack”. Then I cut out the tree using the Ornamental Christmas tree die.
I adhered the tree onto the card front – over the bow – with double-stacked Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used the dies in the set to cut out a tree base, the gold ball ornaments, the small star and four “glimmers” from Gold Foil Sheets. Then I adhered all but one “glimmer” to the tree and the card front with Liquid Glue – and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped the pretty tree image from Ornamental Christmas in Pretty in Pink – three times in the corner of a Basic White panel. Over them, I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Then I adhered that fourth “glimmer” with a dab of Liquid Glue.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Basic Black card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Pretty in Pink Ornamental Christmas trees on the front…
…and I colored some more of the Silent Snowfall Specialty DSP with a Blending Brush and Pretty in Pink ink to put on the envelope flap!
Et Voila! I think you can see why I love this Modern Christmas suite so much – the Specialty DSP sets the stage in black and white and gold! It’s all ready to add a pop of color (and pink is one of my faves for Christmas!). The Ornamental Christmas bundle is the perfectly perfect pairing!
I hope you like!
