Yeah, it's Thursday! Time for another great challenge from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. Let's put the spotlight on Christmas this week!
Another new bundle from the July-December Mini Catalogue. I already had a retired stamp set with candy canes in it but I felt I needed this one too. Here I'm following the August Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers sketch again.
I tried real hard making a monochromatic card but I couldn't accept a red Christmas card without a bit of green. I kept it to a minimum though, so it's a soft passing grade.
In this close up, I tried the tip I posted in my Facebook Group, Diane's Craft Space. Using a fine tip glue in a decorative pattern (dots and dashes) to adhere the vellum card stock. Genius idea! I need to practice a bit more, I think I didn't put it on thick enough or I was too slow at setting it up. Still looks good!
Supplies I used:
- Sweet Candy Canes stamp set: 159560
- Paper Pumpkin Christmas stamp set: Retired
- Sweet Sorbet card stock: 159268
- Basic White card stock: 159276
- Garden Green card stock: 102584
- Vellum card stock: 101856
- Sweetest Christmas DSP: 159559
- Sweet Sorbet ink pad: 159216
- Garden Green ink pad: 147089
- Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine: 149653
- Candy Canes Dies: 159569
- White Crinkled seam binding ribbon: 151326
- Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels: 146924
- Stampin' Dimensionals: 104430
I finished off the inside of the card and the envelope with a couple of candy canes and some DSP. Easy Peasy wow factor! Truly worth the extra effort and only takes a couple extra minutes.
