Dimensional Triangular Tree

Hello friends,

Here's another Christmas Card CASEing the hostess Michelle Lupton, for her fun event  'CASE Me a Christmas Card'. Elements from her card include a triangular tree with lights and a stamped background. 

Products used:

#echopark paper, #recollections stamp (background), #verve stamp (Christmas), gold cardstock, glitter glue, gold acrylic paint (spatters) & star bling.

A triangular piece of designer paper was adhered to a gold card base and cut, leaving a thin gold border. Similarly, a smaller triangular piece was adhered to the centre after scoring the middle for dimension with foam tape. The tree and card base were spattered with gold paint, stamped 'Merry' at one inch intervals, followed by stamping 'Christmas' below and the tree was glued. It was finished off by adding a touch of glitter glue to the lights and a bling star..

Here's my Christmas Card CASEing Carly Tee. Elements from her card include an acetate sheet, a snowflake & glitter. My first attempt at a see-through card.

Products used:

#eksuccess punch (snowflake), holographic paper, acetate sheet, sticker sheet, glitter & #justrite (sentiment)

After die cutting a circle on the card front and a card front panel, a piece of acetate was adhered between the two. The punched snowflake was glued on either side of the acetate. For the inside, a circle of die cut sticker sheet was stuck, the snowflake adhered to align with the ones on the front, then glitter was sprinkled over. It was finished with a die cut sentiment.

Falling Leaves

Hello friends,

I can't get enough of the autumn leaves, and I'm here with yet another card with falling leaves.

Products used:

woodgrain embossing folder (company unknown), #rangerdistress inks (for the background & leaves), #lawnfawn (stitched leaves), gold acrylic paint (for spatters), #fiskars (sentiment stamp), & #vervestamps (sequins)

For the background, the debossed side of the embossing folder was inked, then run through the Big Shot. This was followed by rubbing the ink pad over the embossed area. To the half of the panel, a strip of gold cardstock was glued to one edge, the other edge was given a torn effect, and then adhered to the card base. For the leaves, a panel of watercolour paper was directly inked with various autumn colours, arranged closely together. It was then generously sprayed with water until the ink started to move and blend with the other colors. Once dry, multiple leaves were cut from the panel. I used only one type of leaf here and arranged them in a falling manner after gently folding them along the centre vein for added dimension. Finally, the whole card was spattered with gold paint, the sentiment was stamped, cut into a banner shape, adhered with foam and finished off with sequins.
