Hi friends,
It’s that time of year when we all are busy making Christmas cards. Today I want to share a couple of cards made with Spellbinders A Charming Christmas Collection Becca Feeken. These cards are pretty quick to make and they involve no or minimum stamping. For some reason die-cutting takes me much less time to make a card that includes only die-cutting.
RED ORNAMENT ON KRAFT
For my first card I used Charming Round Tag Die Set from the collection. And went with a traditional holiday color scheme which always wins – kraft, white and red.
I made an ornament by die-cutting its shape out of a white cardstock for the back part and out of a white cardstock with some Festive Berries Distress Ink blending for the top part.
I did water splattering onto the top part too (of course). I also die-cut a white ornament cap out of a white cardstock, assembled the ornament and tied a bow of a baking twine through the cap loop.
Next I made a panel out of a kraft cardstock. I totally ran out of my usual kraft cardstock, which was a disaster in the middle of holiday season. Don’t worry – I’ve ordered a lot of it already and impatiently waiting for it to be delivered. For this card I still wanted to use kraft cardstock. Luckily I have a lot of random cardstock piles all over my craft room and always can find the one I need (I think I never really out of a cardstock completely lol).
So I found a darker kraft cardstock in my stash and used it. So it’s somewhere between kraft and brown I’d say. And I really like it actually. It looks like gingerbread cookies 🙂 And with a white spray splatters added totally works as a kraft cardstock.
So as you may guess – I splattered a white spray onto this dark kraft panel, foam mounted it onto a white card base and adhered the ornament on top.
BACKGROUND OF DIE-CUTS
For my next card I used Charming Round Tag and Charming Tag Pocket sets. The both sets actually can make non card objects. You can make a beautiful ornament tag using the first one. With a sentiment as a part of a tag already. And the second one will make you a tag pocket, so you can put something small into. But I wanted to make card, just because I felt like that.
So here I first made a splattered with a white spray kraft panel and adhered white die cuts of smaller object from both sets.
They all are meant to be used attached to tags so they all have loops. Which I trimmed off with scissors.
Lastly I wrapped a bakers twine around the panel, popped a sentiment onto it and foam mounted the panel onto a white card base.
