Hello All.
This weeks' card inspiration comes from Jamie Rodgers Crafts new Christmas Wishes Stamp Collection!
A lovely design for Christmas card batch making, giving you lots of options for colouring and sparkle.
Step 1
As seen in Picture 1 📸 - stamp out the Poinsettia Melody Stamp using a Versafine Onyx Black printed onto Polar White Elite Card.
📝NOTE - You will need to stamp it out twice on the same sheet.
This stamp is designed so you can extend out and match up your pattern; a Stamp Platform is a brilliant tool to use for this :-)
✅ TIP - If you don’t quite match up as well as you'd like, don't worry!
When it’s revealed, use a fine liner pen which will come in handy to meet the lines... so all is not lost!
Step 2
Let’s colour in the images now with a selection of Distress Ink Pads; swipe the stamp pad on a tile or glass mat and using a water brush.
Here I have used the following colours (which you can find in my 🛒 Shopping List below)
▪️Candied Apple
▪️Lumberjack Plaid
▪️Lost Shadow
▪️Mustard Seed
▪️Peeled Paint
▪️Pine Needles
▪️Rustic Wilderness
When this is all coloured and dry, take some Ranger ™® Stickles Crystal Glitter Glue and squeeze some out onto a scrap piece of card.
Then dip your finger in and dab it all over to create the look your are after.
Or you have the option to use glitter texture paste....
Step 3
Now trim this piece to 19½ x 17½ cm
Take a length of the above ribbon and wrap it around the left side of the above piece
(See Picture 1📸)
Mat and Layering
Then mat and layer this onto Gladiator Red Elite Card - measuring 20cm x 18cm.
Next add onto Gold Mirror Card - measuring 20½ cm x 18½ cm
Now take a large card blank and cut it down to 21½ cm x 19½ cm and stick on the above piece.
Step 4
From Jamie Rodgers Crafts - Essential Christmas Collection, I chose this sentiment
I cut out one in Gladiator Red and another one in Gold Mirror Card for the back piece.
I did a further one in Polar White for the plain circle (see Pictures 📸 below)
Now select the sentiment you would like from the Christmas Sentiments Stamp Set.
Here I chose "Sending Warm Wishes Your Way This Christmas."
Next place the white circle onto your Stamp Platform and centre your chosen sentiment, before stamping out with VersaMark.
Heat emboss with a gold embossing powder.
Then as seen 📸 below - stick the layers together with foam pads before sticking it onto the card.
To finish.... tie a double bow in the green ribbon and stick it onto the card.
✅ TIP - I use a Hot Glue Gun for this - once done it will never move again lol!
Place one red gem in the circle below the sentiment....
See.. a very easy, yet decorative card to make....
You have so many options with this card design and just changing colours can give you a lovely collection.
Go on and give it a go... we'd love you to share with us on our Facebook Group - Create With Craftmania And Jamie Rodgers.
Have a great crafting week and see you soon!
Best wishes
