Faery Ink Wreath

I received another free image from the Kit and Clowder Christmas Advent Calendar, and when I receive an image for free I always try and do my darnedest to colour it up and use it on a card. This one is from Faery Ink and called Holiday Wreath and this is what I came up with:

Snowman at Outlawz Sunday CAS

Here is my next guest design project for Outlawz Sunday CAS and this week we are talking about Snowman, because really what's a Christmas card without a Snowman. Here is what I came up with.

Outlawz Sunday CAS, Bugaboo Digi Stamps Winter Goodies

I have used the technique of adding layers without bulk on this card by fussy cutting the image with my Broher Scan and Cut and then adhering it flat to the card and adding a border, also giving the illusion of layers with bulk.

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock: Standard white card base.
Stamps: Bugaboostamps winter goodies, AmyR Stamps merry and bright.
Ink: Versafine onyx black ink.

               Snowman: C1

Sunny Santa at Diecut Divas

What better way to show a warm and cosy theme but with a Summer Santa. Drawing inspiration from an Australian Christmas and this Bugaboo image here is my project.

Here is the inside of the card where I have created a pocket for a gift card.


Card Tip:
You can use any shape to create a pocket. Whether you use a die, electronic cutter or trace around something. The secret to creating a simple pocket like this one is to run double sided tape up each side and along the bottom, leaving the top open to place whatever you want inside.

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock: white card stock 5" x 7" base, Francheville green card stock.
Papers: Kaisercraft mint twist paper pad.
Stamps: Bugaboo Stamps Tropical Santa Suntan, Simon Says Stamps Warm Christmas Wishes, Gina K Designs Seasons Greetings.
Ink: Versamark ink, Allison Ellis white fine detail embossing powder, Memento tuxedo black ink.
Markers:
               Skin: E000+E00+E02+E11+R20
               Hair: C0+C1+C3+colorless blender
               Suit and Hat: R24+R35+R37+R39
               Towel: BG000+BG01+BG02+BG05
               Sand: Y00+Y02+Y06
Dies: Brother Scan and Cut for fussy cutting, Spellbinders grommet tags, MPress curved rectangle.
Other: Glossy accents for the glasses, Kaisercraft green gems, white ribbon from stash.
