Hello
This is a
lovely traditional christmas card – I know it was bought from
www.craftsuprint.com but
have no idea as to who designed it – it looks like an Ann-Marie
Vaux to me but I could be totally wrong.
Its one of
the many sheets I printed out to take with me when we went off to
Malham last month but I only got around to making it up a few days
ago...and that was mainly because I was 1 card short for the parcel
of cards I was asked to make.
So
materials for this card I used ….
Heat mat to
work on and protect your surface – I always use it...
A4 red card
stock
Decoupage
sheet
Gold mirri
card
Crafters
Companion Spray & Sparkle Iridescent
Double sided
tape
Sticky pads
Eazi Score
Board & tool
Tonic 8”
guillotine
Scissors
Tweezers
Shaping tool
from www.dimensionstamps.com
Foam shaping
mat – stamping mat or even a mouse mat
To
make the card ...
Using the
eazi score board I scored the red card on line 7 to create an A5 card
but this design needed a 6x6 card so after folding into the A5 card I
put it back on the board and score the card on line 7 again and cut
away the card which was below the line – so now I have my 6x6 card
blank.
I trimmed a
piece of gold mirri card to fit on the card front but leaving a
border of red all around it – this panel was stuck in place with
double sided tape.
The image
was cut out and then had double sided tape added to the back – the
paper backing was removed and this panel was attached to the gold
mirri panel.
On to the
decoupage – I started out really good with cutting the branches but
it all got too much so in the end I cut around them removing as much
of the white back ground as I could
The
decoupage layers were then covered on the back with tiny double sided
sticky pads - the backings were removed and the decoupage positioned
and pressed down firmly.
Rather than
highlight the many places that needed to be glittered I chose to use
the Crafters Companion Spray and Sparkle glitter spray – I covered
the entire front of the card in 2 or 3 short sprays
Once it was
dry I added a red christmas sentiment to the bottom right corner to
finish.
If you have
a lot of cards to make up for Christmas then these are the idea
sheets to use as its very little printing – its fairly easy to cut
out – depending on your print settings you can print smaller so use
smaller than 6x6 cards.
Whatever
size – whatever colour main card and however you chose to decorate
the finished card it will look super – just as this card does!
Did you
manage to spot the deliberate error in yesterdays write up?
See you next
time …

Stunning card, Angie. xx
