Fa La La La!

Sep27

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using KLM Digital Designs – Window Kitty from the new September 2024 Release.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Evergreen Bough was applied around the outside edges with a finger dauber and a blender brush was used to apply ink around the inner edges of the card base.

The image was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale. With a Cuttlebug, Sizzix Rounded Tags were used to die cut the image and Recollections – Black cardstock. The image was coloured in with Copic markers and a Prismacolor Premier black pencil was used to add in some finer fur lines, the whiskers and to blacken around the mouth, nose and eyes.

The card was now ready to assemble. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the image and large rounded tag. Both were applied together and popped up onto the card. A sentiment from Creative Expressions – Wordies Sentiment Sheets – Traditional Christmas was cut out and adhered to the card using Scrapbook Adhesives – 3D Foam Strips. Lastly, the snow flakes were added with a Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen.

Owl Carol

Dec3

Today, I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using a retired image from Di’s Digistamps called Owl Carol.

For the base card, I used Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. and cut it and scored it to be 5.5″ x 5.5″. For the background, I cut Hunkydory Adorable Scorable Pattern Packs – Let It Snow paper to the same size as the base card and inked around the edges and along the bottom with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Prize Ribbon. I adhered this to the base card with double-sided tape. Washi Tape was then applied directly to the left side of the card base. Waffle Flower – Nesting Square dies and Cuttlebug were used to die cut a 4.25″ x 4.25″ piece of dark blue cardstock.  Precision Cutting Dies by Frantic Stamper Inc. “Falalalala” was used to die cut the sentiment 4 times. 3 times with the dark blue cardstock and 1 time using Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock.

The image using HP High Quality Grayscale was printed onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and die cut using Cuttlebug and My Creative Time -Stitched Squares Inside and Out. The image was coloured in with Copic markers and Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff was added to the bottom of the image for the snow. Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool was applied to the snow to puff it up. Stickles – Diamond was applied to the puffy snow to add a little more sparkle and also to the top of the lantern and tree branch. Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen was applied in the sky to create a snowy background. Sakura Glaze – Black and Gelly Roll Sakura #5 Pen were added to the noses on the mouse and rabbit. The finished image was popped up onto the blue square cardstock using 3M – double-sided foam tape and then this was attached to the base card using U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape. The “Falalalala” sentiments were attached together to give the illusion of being 3-D and applied to the card using liquid glue to finish it off.
