Christmas Trimmings for the Ink. Stamp, Share. Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp, Share Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Christmas in July’.  We have so many lovely Christmas goodies coming in the new July – December 2021 Mini Catalogue that we can sometimes overlook the Christmas sets in the Annual Catalogue. I have chosen to use one of these sets, Christmas Trimmings,  to make my card.

Colours used in this project are:

 

T recreate the Christmas Trimmings card, you will need:

So Saffron card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Early Espresso card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner x 2 – one for the inside
Early Espresso card – 3¼” by ⅝”
Gold Metallic Speciality Paper

Using the’ basket weave’ image from the Natural Textures stamp set I stamped in 2^nd generation So Saffron ink to stamp all over one of the Very Vanilla panels. This gives both colour and texture to the background. The stamped panel was then added to the Early Espresso panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then to the So Saffron card base with the same glue.

Next, I took the star dies, both the outline and the detailed, from the Christmas Trimmings Dies and cut them from the Gold Metallic Speciality paper.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the large and small star frames and the small solid star to the stamped background panel.

I decided to leave all the infill pieces in the more detailed stars in situ and added them to the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas to Remember stamp set,  in Versamark ink onto the strip of Early Espresso card, covered it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. I flagged the end with Scissors and added the piece to the card front on Dimensionals. To complete the card, I added a scattering of Gold Metallic Pearls.

I hope you like it.
