Hi There! Kendra here today with another Christmas card using the November Creative Cafe Kit-Twas the Night from The Rubber Cafe'.
The first thing I did was cut all of my cardstock and pattern paper pieces (measurements below):
The first thing I did was cut all of my cardstock and pattern paper pieces (measurements below):
* Black card base - 4 1/4" x 11" (scored at 5.5")
* Green card panel - 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
* Black mat - 3 1/4" x 3 3/4"
* Snowflake pattern paper - 3 1/8" x 3 5/8"
* Red pattern paper - 2" x 5"
* Black mat - 2 1/8" x 5 1/8"
Step 1: I wanted to add some texture to the green card panel, so I used all of the small snowflakes from the Let It Snow Background Add-On stamp set. I used a small acrylic stamping block and scattered the snowflakes on the block. Then I used VersaMark ink to stamp a background.
Step 2: Once the background was stamped, I attached the green card panel to the black card base. Next, I attached the snowflake pattern paper to the black mat and attached that on top of the green card panel.
Step 3: The next step is to make a banner out of the red pattern paper. One of the easiest ways to do this is to take a square punch and line up the bottom edge in a perfect diagonal in the punch and then trim the edge. Then I matted the red pattern paper with a black mat and trimmed the black cardstock. You can trim it with scissors (using the pattern paper as a guide) or the square punch. Then attach the matted banner to the card base.
Step 4: Next, I stamped the Santa sleigh image on black cardstock with white pigment ink. This has a great chalkboard look to it.
Step 5: A great paper saving tip is to cut your image out a little larger than needed using a decorative edge die. Then using a smaller die, cut the image again (I used an oval). I trimmed a piece of green cardstock with a slightly larger oval die as a mat and then put that on top of my decorative edge die shape. Once they are stacked together, no one has any clue that the shape on the bottom has a big hole in it. VOILÁ! Easy Peasy!
Step 6: Attach the stamped image to the card using Kool Tac Foam squares and then add a bow with the black seam binding. I also added a snowflake embellishment with a red square gem (all part of the Creative Cafe Kit).
Hoping you have a happy holiday season!
