Christmas Sweaters

This is a card inspired by Brandy's Cards but I used her ideas to make it my own.  The stamp set is the Christmas Sweaters set from the 2017 Holiday Catalog.  Santa's beard is made by using Multipurpose Glue and Dazzling Diamonds.  Here is the rest of my instructions:




1.     The base of the card is Cherry Cobbler cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is Garden Green and cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Cable Knit 3-D Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder and run through the Big Shot.
3.    Wrap the ribbon around the Garden Green Cable Knit cardstock and put a Glue Dot on the back to hold it in place.
4.    Ink up the Santa sweater with the Memento Black ink and stamp it on the 2-1/2” x 3” Whisper White cardstock.  Color in the Santa with markers: Sahara Sand for his glasses, Blushing Bride for his face, Cherry Cobbler for his hat.  The sweater is Old Olive and Pool Party.
5.    Use Multipurpose Glue on all the white parts of Santa (beard, mustache, eyebrows, the brim of hat and pompom), but make sure the black lines will show through and then sprinkle Dazzling Diamonds over the glue. Shake off excess and let dry.
6.    Once dry, adhere to the 2-3/4” x 3-1/4” Cherry Cobbler layer and put Dimensionals on the back and adhere to the front of the card over the ribbon.

Christmas Sweaters

We had a few snowflakes yesterday morning!  Too early for snow, but at least it did not accumulate. Then, we had a hard frost last night.  Time to start making snowflake cards and get out those long-sleeve tops and start cleaning out my closets. Here are the directions to my card:



1.     The base of the card is Night of Navy cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is Marina Mist cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the front of the card with adhesive.
3.    The third layer is Whisper White cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 5” and randomly stamped with the snowflakes from Colorful Seasons with Night of Navy ink, Marina Mist, and Soft Sky inks.
4.    The Foil Snowflakes is inked up on the white side with Marina Mist ink pad.  Let dry before attaching to the Whisper White snowflakes layer.
5.    Die cut a scalloped Whisper White circle with the Layering Circles Framelits in the Big Shot.
6.    Ink up the sweater from Christmas Sweaters with the Memento Black ink.  Color in with Marina Mist and Soft Sky markers.
7.    Take the Fine Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Glue to add glue to the snowflake on the front of the sweater.  Add Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.  Let Dry!
8.    Attach Mini Tinsel Trim to the back of the sweater and attach Dimensionals to the back to adhere to the Whisper White Scalloped Circle.
9.    Then add more Dimensionals to the back of the Whisper White scalloped circle.  Add it to the Marina Mist Foil Snowflake on the front.
