Happy Saturday!
I've been busy creating some last minute Christmas projects this week. So, for today's project, I created this Merry Christmas Card. To create my card, I've used a variety of stamps from Charlene as well as dies from Els van de Burgt Studio and the Planner Essentials Collection. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my Merry Christmas Card at home.
To start, die cut a 3" Stitched Rectangle out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. On a stamp block, cover the block with Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink. Spray the ink with water and then stamp onto the rectangle piece. On a second stamp block, cover the block in areas with Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Ink. Spray the ink with water and then stamp randomly onto the rectangle piece. Dry the rectangle piece with a heat tool. Apply Emboss It Ink to the grid stamp from the Make A Wish Stamp Set and stamp randomly on the rectangle piece. Reapply ink to the stamp as needed and stamp two more times on the rectangle piece. Sprinkle Peppered Chantilly Embossing Powder over the stamped areas. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.
Distress the edges of the rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Die cut a 3 1/2" Stitched Rectangle out of black cardstock. Distress the edges of the rectangle piece.
From the Christmas Garden stamp set, you'll need the poinsettia, holly branch and berry branch. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the poinsettia stamp and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the holly branch stamp and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the berry branch stamp and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Reapply ink to the berry branch stamp and stamp onto the same piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using Scribble Sticks from Set 1 & 2 as well as a waterbrush, colour in the images. Once the images have dried, fussy cut all four images out. Ink the edges of the images using Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam.
From the Winter Words stamps set, you'll need the Merry Christmas words. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to both words and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Cut the two words into two strips. Distress the edges of each strip. Ink the edges of each strip using Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Adhere the 3" stitched rectangle to the 3 1/2" stitched rectangle.
Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the poinsettia, holly branch and the two berry branches as desired on the top right side of the 3" rectangle piece.
Adhere the Merry Christmas sentiment strips to the bottom left side of the card front as desired. To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 4 3/4" x 7", score at 7 1/2". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.
Here are a few closeup photos of the finished Christmas Card.
