Good Afternoon Everyone
Today I'm taking part in the Stampin For Christmas Blog Hop. We hope every month throughout the year and it really helps me get ahead for when Christmas crafting really kicks in. Although, during the Summer Months it feel slightly odd to be playing around with snowflakes and Christmas Trees - but Hey Ho!
Today I've used the Snowman Dies and the Yeti to Party to create a really fun Christmas Card - and it would be so easy to replicate closer to the time to get a nice batch made up.
Measurements
Parakeet Party Card Stock
1pc - 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", scored at 4 1/8"
Tahitian Tide Card Stock
1pc - 4 1/2" x 3 1/4"
Basic White Card Stock
1pc - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"
scraps
Butterfly Kisses DSP
1pc - 5 1/2" x 3 3/4"
-------------------------
Take the Parakeet Party card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base - adding the basic white to the inside and the DSP to the card front.
Bring in your Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out the snowflake frame in the Tahitian Tide. I used a couple of pieces of washi tape to make sure that I kept my border around the edge nice and neat and even.
On a scrap on basic white stamp the Yeti in Gray Granite ink and fussy cut.
Now adhere the snowflake frame down to the centre of the card front, and add the Yeti over to the right. I tucked one of his feet under a snowflake and had the rest of him over the top.
On some more scraps of basic white stamp the sentiments and trim, then a few of the presents, colour these with a few Blends, fussy cut and arrange them all onto the card front to 'fill' in the space.
And that is it - really simple, and like I said, you could split this card down and batch each process and have some really nice cards to give.
Please take a look at the list below and continue through the hop to get lots more Christmas Crafting Inspiration
