Christmas Wishes

Every second Tuesday, three of the Teams that I design for fall together, so indulge me with one more for today.

Facebook Case-ing Tuesday (#486) where we CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit) cards found within Stampin’ Up!’s current catalogs.  Today?  The card can be found on page 23 of the Sep – Dec Mini Catalog.  

Influenced by a number of challenges, I took a dip into my STASH to complete this card. Just Us Girls (#752) for the Colors; Facebook Global Design Project (#471) for the Ornament; and Park Hopping (November) for the Snow and Color Blue which I am sure must be decorating Cinderella’s Palace.

I am also sharing this card with Love to Craft (#83) and Ellibelle’s Crafty Wednesday (November) for their Anything Goes theme.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Night of Navy cardstock.
• Background Panel: (5¼” x 4”) Gold Dipped Blue Envelope from the Gold Dipped Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes Pack trimmed to size.
  • The panel was dry-embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and the pattern was enhanced with a light rub using a Sanding Block.
• Cross Strip: (4⅞” x ⅝”) Gold & Navy Mistletoe patterned piece of paper from the retired Brightly Shining Specialty Designer Series Paper pack trimmed on the diagonal.
• Sentiment Block (1): (2⅝” x 1”) Night of Navy cardstock and (2¾” x 1”) Gold Foil.
  • The word, Christmas, from the retired Word Wishes Dies set was cut and adhered to the Label.
• Sentiment Block (2): (1¾” x ¾”) Mother of Pearl Specialty Designer Series Paper scrap.
  • The word, Wishes, from the retired Winter Wishes stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with Gold Embossing Powder and trimmed to (1½” x ½”) diagonally cut.
• Decoration – Ornament: (2½” x 2½”) Mother of Pearl Specialty Designer Series Paper die-cut with the Ornament die from the retired Handcrafted Elements Dies set. The Ornament Inset was also die cut with both the coordinating die and the Ornament die from a scrap of Gold Foil.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  The Ornament and the Wishes Sentiment were popped with Dimensionals.  A small Gold Trim Bow was affixed to the Ornament and a few Gold-Toned Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems were added for a bit of bling.

Happy Holidays!

Looking forward to seeing how you choose to use the sketch.
