Hey everyone! I'm up on the DRU Inspiration Blog today and I'm sharing a Christmas card I created. It's never too early to start working on your Christmas cards. 😄
I've used the following dies from Tutti Designs to create this project:
Tutti Designs: Have A Merry Christmas (any of these would work as well) |
I always struggle wit white on white cards, so I wanted to challenge myself for today's project.
I started out by creating some sparkly cardstock from a scrap of plain white. I added VersaMark all over and then heat embossed it with sparkly clear embossing powder.
Next I die cut the JOY letters and the Candy Cane from this piece.
I also die cut the JOY letters two more times and the Candy Cane one additional time from white cardstock. I wanted to give added dimension to all of these pieces and this is the easiest way to do it when you have intricate die cuts.
I also die cut the oval and the rectangle out of plain whie cardstock. I then ran the rectangle through an embossing folder.
The final die cut piece was my sentiment for the inside of my card.
This is what the inside looks like after I adhered the die cut.
Once everything was die cut and the layers glued together, the last part is the assembly of the card. I added dimensional tape tot the dry embossed rectangle before adhering it to the card base. Next I adhered the Candy Cane to the oval.
I knew that I wanted these pieces to overhang the rectangle a bit, so I figured out where I wanted them to be before adhering.
Here's one final look at today's Christmas project:
