Happy Friday! There are only 13 Tuesdays until Christmas and I've started to create Christmas cards. Today, I'm sharing with you my Happy Holidays Card, which features dies from Els van de Burgt Studio, stamps from Joset Designs and Krista Schneider as well as ModaScrap patterned paper. You'll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my Happy Holidays Card at home.
To start, choose two patterned papers from ModaScrap's Xmas Vintage Collection Paper Pack. Die cut the 4 1/2" Dashing Rectangle die out of one of the patterned paper pieces. Die cut the 4" Dashing Rectangle die out of the other patterned paper piece. Distress the edges of both patterned paper rectangles. Ink the edges of both rectangles using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Choose a third piece of patterned paper from ModaScrap's Xmas Vintage Collection Paper Pack. Die cut the medium size Entwined Circles out of the third patterned paper piece. Ink the edges of the circle using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
From a scrap piece of patterned paper from the paper pack. Die cut the 1 1/8" Stitched Fishtail Banner from the backside of the paper. Cut the banner down to 3 3/8". Apply Potting Soil Archival Ink to the Happy Holidays stamp and stamp onto the banner. Distress the edges of the banner. Ink the edges of the banner using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Get a second piece of scrap patterned paper from the paper pack. Die cut the 3 1/4" Stitched Circle from the backside of the paper. Apply VersaMark Ink to the snowflake stamp and stamp onto the circle. Continue to apply the ink to the stamp and stamp onto the circle until the circle is full of snowflakes. The snowflakes will be faint on the circle. Distress the edges of the circle. Ink the edges of the circle using Ground Espresso Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the reindeer stamp and stamp onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. Water colour the image using Tombow Markers - 977, 969, 025, 249, 847, 443 and 476. Die cut the image using the coordinating dies.
Now it's time to adhere your card together.
Adhere the 4" rectangle to the 4 1/2" rectangle.
Adhere the Happy Holidays banner 1/4" from the bottom and all the way to the right of the brown patterned paper. Foam square the 3 1/4" stitched circle to the top portion of the cardfront. Adhere the entwined circle overtop of the stitched circle.
Foam square the coloured image to the middle of the stitched circle. To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 5 3/4" x 9", score at 4 1/2". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.
Here are a couple of closeup photos of the finished card.
And here's the finished Happy Holidays Card.
