Jumper Sketch Card – Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we have a sketch to inspire our creativity. I have made my card using the Stay Warm stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the jumper sketch card, you will need:

Secret Sea card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Traditions of Christmas dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 3¾” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 1½” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

 

The panel of Kintsugi Inspirations designer series paper was glued to the larger panel of Basic White card. I wrapped a length of Old Olive Linen Thread around the layer before gluing the panel to the Secret Sea card front.

From the square of Basic White card I die cut a circle using the Spotlight on Nature Dies.

Using Secret Sea ink, I stamped the jumper onto the die cut circle and added colour using the following Blends Pens – dark Real Red and light and dark Old Olive. The circle was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Festive Friends stamp set was stamped on the small piece of Basic White card with Secret Sea ink and added to the card front.

Festive jolly Santa jumper card

Christmas Sweaters featuring a Jolly Santa

I saw a fantastic video on Youtube recently by Brandy Cox, a fab American demonstrator, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOn6qnSxLpg showing some cards she had made using the quirky Christmas Sweaters stamp set. I loved them all but my favourite was the Santa jumper. Here is my take on it.

Seasonal sweater featuring Santa

I stamped the jumper using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it out using the Stitched Shapes framelits and the Big Shot. I coloured the jumper in using an Old Olive marker, the hat with the Real Red Marker, Santa’s face with the Pink Pirouette Marker, Santa’s glasses with the Sahara Sand Marker and the ribbed area around the neck, cuffs and bottom of the jumper with the Soft Sky Marker.

I followed Brandy’s tip and covered the beard, moustache, eyebrows, rim of the hat and the pompom in Tombow Liquid Adhesive and spread it around using a cotton bud taking care to stay away from the stamped black edge. I then covered the image with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and it looked fabulous, so sparkly. I added this piece to a scalloped square which had been die cut using the Layering Squares dies and Old Olive cardstock.

I took a layer of Real Red cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot with the Winter Wonder embossing folder on the right hand side of the panel. I really love the effect this gives. I stamped the sentiment from the Merry Patterns stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the Everyday Label punch. I punched again using a scrap of Old Olive cardstock and mounted the stamped piece on top and slightly offset so that the colour peeked out the bottom.

I added the sentiment to the lower left hand corner of the Real Red panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and added the Santa sweater image over the top using Stampin Dimensionals. The whole panel was then added to a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow.

I love how sparkly and festive this card is, love it. Thanks for the inspiration Brandy.
