Today I’m sharing another Christmas card using stamps from  Gina K Designs – Holiday Season and Seasonal Patterns and Phrases. Also used, Ornate Frame die from the new Gina K Designs – 12 Days of Christmas Box – Day 1.

To create the card, I began with the card base using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. folded to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″. The edges around the card were inked with a Gina K. blending brush and Gina K. Designs – Powder Blue ink.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped the image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in the image with Copic markers listed below. The image was fussy cut, leaving a touch of white all around it. Using a Sakura Glaze – Black pen, I coloured in the eyes and beaks. Then I added a little dot on the eyes with a Gelly Roll Sakura #5 Pen. Spectrum Noir – Sparkles – Crystal Clear was applied to the hats brims and pom-poms to add a little bit of glitter.

The sentiment was stamped directly onto Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock, using a MISTI, VersaMark ink and Ranger Gold Embossing powder was applied over top of it. This was heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. The sentiment was die cut using a Cuttlebug and die from Gina K. Designs – Die – Scrolled Gift Card Holder and the frame was die cut using Gina K. Designs – Ornate Frame (Day 1 from the 12 Days of Christmas) and paper from Chloe’s Crafts Paper Pad – 02-3129420. A Sharpie – Gold Medium Point – Water Based Paint was used to create a border around the sentiment die cut.

To assemble the card, using another piece of cardstock from the Chloe’s Crafts Paper Pad – 02-3129420, I cut the paper to the size of 3.5″ x 4.75″ and glued this piece to the Ornate Frame die cut. U-Line Double-Sided Foam tape was applied to the backs of this, the Owls images, sentiment and Dress It Up – Glitter Holly embellishment. The frame was then popped up onto the base card. Next, I popped up the owls, holly and sentiment onto the frame. With a Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen, I created snow in the sky behind the owls and onto the holly berries to finish it off.
