Hi All,
Welcome to Day 15! We are three quarters of the way through the series!
I’m back with another paper-pieced card. This type of card seems to be a big hit this year. Similar to the Snowy village card (Day 10) this card uses 7 different cuts to complete this image. When layered together they almost fit together like a puzzle. The only piece that has any dimensions added are the trees.
Hi All,
Welcome to another day of holiday cards!
Today’s card is VERY dimensional and ornate. This card features 2 coordinating patterned papers & a gold embellishment from an entirely different collection. In order to pull the 2 together, I maintained a leaf pattern and made sure it wasn’t too busy. To finish off the card I tied some ribbon behind the embellishment to give it the look of a hanging ornament.
This is a great project for card-makers who have many leftover cuts from other projects and would like to create using ‘leftovers’.
Hi All,
Welcome to Day 13!
I’m back with another look of gold foil on a greeting card. I love how it brightens up these ‘flat’ patterns and gives a whole lot of dimension to the card. To achieve the gold foil look on the sentiment I heat embossed the sentiment with Glam Gold embossing powder.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Recollections Bkack 8.5 x 11 (cut to create A2 size card)
Papers: DCWV Christmas Collection
Stamp: Simon Says Stamp – Be Joyful
Embossing: Versamark Ink & Inkadinkado – Glam Gold powder
Misc: Powder Tool and adhesives
Hi All,
Welcome to Day 4!
Today’s card was entirely handmade/painted. I’ve seen many cards created in a similar fashion using holiday stamps, however, I don’t own any big wreath stamp sets. Instead, I used Tim Holtz distress markers which react with water to create a watercolor type feel. I love the control you get from using a blending ink rather than actual paint.
For ideas on how this was created, stay tuned for tomorrow’s post. It uses the same concept, but I have a different image to share! 😉
See you next time and have a great weekend!
