Just Jade, Brushed Metallic Foil and Merry Merlot wink of stellar using the Christmas Cheer Dies
In my last blog I explained that I had Gremlins, they seem to be following me around. However I have managed to play in my craft room without too many items going wrong.
Todays card is actually a CASE of a CASEd card. The inspiration for this card is here from Stamps-n-Lingers. Amusingly it is a card which was CASEd from the same card that I CASEd from the Catalogue. I absolutely loved the card and the colours which they used which I adapted to be used in my card. I of course, altered the card and used some cards I made earlier last week as the other source of inspiration. My original cards used Real Red and Old Olive with basic white and Kraft card. I changed up the design as I thought I had created too many Christmas Cards in traditional colours. I loved the combination of Soft Succulent, Just Jade and Soft Suede, but I wanted to see the gorgeous stamps as well and therefore decided to use craft card and crumb cake ink. I coloured the Berries in with Merry Merlot Wink of Stellar to make them glittery.
Card Sizes
Original
Coloured card - 6” x 12” scored at 6”
Basic White (x2) - 5 3/4 ”
Card on Video
kraft Card Base - 5 6/8 x 5 6/8 inches
Layer 1 and inside layer - 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches
Layer 2 - 5 1/4 x 5 1/4
The odd sizes for the second card is due to the card not being 6x6 but smaller to fit in the envelope.
I stamped the Kraft layer with Crumb Cake ink using the Words of Cheer Stamps.
I added the soft succulent to the card base, I added the kraft layer using foam pads and then add the Just Jade Cheer die cut.
I love the original cards, especially the berries one the Real Red card (I need to create a video on Berry decoration options) but I prefer the card I made on the video. Which do you prefer?
