Merry Christmas – Inked & Tiled

Week Two for my Guest Designer position with Krafty Chicks this month.  Week Two is always Christmas…Christmas in July, why not?

Other challenges with a similar theme: Inkspirational (#293); Happy Little Stampers (July); Jan’s Digi Stamps (July) and I selected to CASE the Designer for a simplified layout from Inspire Create (#146).

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (6½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
• Split Background: (4” x 5¼”) Pretty Peacock Gingham patterned paper from the Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper pack.
  • The panel was die-cut with the largest Stitched Rectangle die from the On-Line Exclusive Radiating Stitches Dies set.
  • The panel was cut in half at the (2”)
  • The (2”) panel was adhered to the card front and the remaining piece was adhered to the visible section of the inside.
• Accent Mat: (2¾” x 4⅛”) Real Red cardstock.
• Focal Panel: (2⅝” x 4”) Basic White cardstock.
  • The Leaf image from the Inked & Tiled stamp set was stamped randomly with Pretty Peacock ink.
  • The Berry image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set was added to the Leaf image with Real Red ink.
  • The selected panel was then die-cut with the medium Stitched Rectangle die, also from the Radiating Stitches Dies set.
  • The Berries were accented with Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a bit of bling / dew drop twinkle.
• Sentiment Accent Mat: (2⅞” x ¾’) Real Red cardstock scrap.
• Sentiment Banner: (2¾” x ⅝”) Basic White cardstock scrap.
  • The greeting, Merry Christmas, also from the Ringed With Nature stamp set was stamped with Real Red ink.
  • A couple of retired Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added.

Love being able to use a stamp set not especially festive for a Holiday card.  I really like how the Pretty Peacock and Real Red colors pop with each other.

Thank you for spending some of your time with me today.   Cheers,  Jolanda!
