Hello friends! I have two Christmas cards to share today. One uses traditional Christmas colors and the other one nontraditional colors.
Today, I am using Concord and 9th Deck the Halls turnabout stamp with the All For You Dies. I started with white card stock. I followed the turnabout stamp instructions and set up the turnabout jig in my MISTI. For the first card, I used traditional Christmas colors using Candy Apple, Evergreen, Simply Chartreuse, and versamark with gold embossing.
For the second card, I used nontraditional Christmas colors using Concord and 9th, stardust, peacock, aqua sky, and honeysuckle inks.
Did you know that YOU can spell JOY backwards? I am using All For You Dies. This is one way to get more use from your die sets.
With just a little snip with scissors, you can have JOY! I started with two panels of white card stock and ink blended candy apple ink on one and stardust ink on the other. I die cut using the All For You Dies. I die cut a few more to layer together using white card stock. I glued the letters and ink blended around the edges the same colors.
Once the background and sentiment were in place, I used an artist brush with black acrylic paint, white acrylic paint (on red card), and Starry Colors to add splatters. I diecut the word "celebrate" from the All For You Dies using gold glitter card stock and white card stock to layer for added dimension.
I added the panels to top folding white card bases.
with foam tape. I finished the card with a few clear sequins.
So, do you prefer the traditional Christmas colors or the nontraditional Christmas card?
I am playing along with Inspired By Challenge and Simon Wednesday Challenge.
Here is a list of many of the products I generally
use every time I make a card.
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
