It is not to early to start making some home-made Christmas Cards!I decided to try something a little different for Christmas cards this year.....a different size....different colors. This card is 6x6 and made with Bazzill cardstock and Stampendous Stamps. The colors aren't exactly "traditional", but I like em'.
How to do it:
Cut a 12x12 sheet of Bazzill Serenade in half then fold in half with the textured sides to the outside.
Cut a 5"x5" square of Bazzill Sprout 12x12 Cardstock
Cut a 4.75"x 4.75" of Bazzill Smoothies Coconut Swirl
Cut small length of white ribbon (a couple inches should do it)
Stamp the swirls (Stampendous Jumbo Ornament Set) on the 6x6 Bazzill Serenade cardstock (I used Ranger's Adirondack Ink Pad in Cool Peri.
Stamp the branches from the Jumbo Ornament set using green ink (I used Adirondack Dye Ink Pad - Lettuce). I stamped three branches in the top left corner of the coconut swirl cardstock.
Stamp the Jumbo Ornament in Black.
I used I'Kandee Chalk Earth Tones to color in the ornament.
Stamp the Merry Christmas from Stampendous Merry Messages stamp set in red (Adirondack Dye Ink pad in Cranberry)
Tie the white ribbon in a knot and adhere with a strong adhesive such as Mono Aqua or Glue Dots.
If you want to add a little "sparkle" you can use Stickles Icicle or Diamond color to line the ornament and dot the i in Merry Christmas. [note: Stickles takes a while to dry! You may want to let it sit for several hours before trying to handle it.]
Putting it all together.
Adhere the coconut swirl to the Bazzill Sprout square
Adhere the Bazzill Sprout square to the Bazzill Serenade Card.
I used Mono Aqua adhesive - because you can slide it around a little after you glue it down. Just in case you aren't "perfect" when you first put it down.
Whallaa!
