Hello, and happy December! I cannot believe we are just a few short weeks away from Christmas. This year has just zipped on past. This month we are creating Winter cards for kids at Send A Smile 4 Kids. This adorable card was so easy to create and think it would be fun to mass produce. I started by wrapping some pretty red tinsel ribbon that I picked up last year in the dollar bin at Target around a panel of crumbcake cardstock from Stampin' UP. I popped the panel up off of my white A2 card base using 3M foam tape. I stamped the adorable reindeer image from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps Christmas Blocks stamp set onto some white alcohol-friendly cardstock. I colored the images with my Copic markers and cut the image out right on the stamped border. I edged it with my dual tip Memento black marker and adhered it directly to the focal panel. To finish off my card I added some white gel pen detail to the deer image, added faux stitching lines around the focal panel, and some red gems from Recollections. Such an easy and simple card to create! Now, be sure to pop by the Send A Smile 4 Kids blog and see how the rest of the design team was inspired this month.
This month at Send A Smile 4 Kids we are creating Christmas cards for kids. I recently picked up the Sweet N Sassy Christmas Blocks stamp set on sale and had to use this adorable stamp set for this challenge. I started by stamping the adorable Santa image and sentiment from the stamp set onto some white Copic-friendly cardstock and doing some simple coloring on his hat, beard, and face. I cut the image out using a Spellbinders nesting circle die. I adhered that panel to a scalloped border that I created using a Spellbinders nesting scalloped border die and real red cardstock from Stampin' UP. Then I layered some green cardstock from Hobby Lobby directly onto my white A2 card base. I adhered a piece of striped patterned paper from Doodlebug Design's Home For The Holidays 6x6 paper pad on top. I then cut down a white panel and added a scalloped edge at the top using a Fiskars punch. I layered some more of the green cardstock onto the panel after creating a scalloped border at the bottom. I added more patterned paper from the same Doodlebug Design paper pad on top of the green cardstock, and popped the whole panel up onto the card at an angle. I stamped the other sentiment at the bottom of the panel from the same stamp set, added some white mini brads from my stash to the corners, and adhered the whole panel up off of the card using 3M foam tape. I finished off the card by adhering the Santa panel to the focal panel and adding some fun shimmer and dimension by adding Nuvo glitter drops to the beard, hat, and pom pom. Thank you for visiting my blog today. Be sure to hop over to the Send A Smile 4 Kids blog and see how the other design team members were inspired this month!
