Christmas Card Number Seven

Hello,

It seems that Saturdays are now my posting day, so I may just continue on with this pattern and see how it goes.

Today's card is designed to be easily massed produced as well as being easy to change aspects of it so you don't get bored after the 20th card.  I made three different versions with the same design in less than an hour (I spent most of this time picking what paper I wanted to use!).



As you can see they all have a repeated stamp across the top, the gold stripe, the embossed sentiment and the patterned paper.  The differences lie in the stamps used, the paper used and the size of the paper used.

Materials needed:
  • Patterned paper
  • Gold paper
  • Red, green and embossing ink
  • Gold embossing powder
  • Christmas themed stamp and a "Merry Christmas" stamp
  • Gold gel pen
  • White card base
To make the card:
Cut a piece of the patterned paper to fit across the bottom of the card base.  Stamp and emboss the Merry Christmas towards the middle right of the paper.  Adhere the piece to the card base.  Cut a small strip of gold paper and adhere above the patterned paper.  Stamp the Christmas themed stamp several times above the gold paper alternating the colours.  Using the gel pen, colour small portions of each of the stamps.

And there you have it, a simple design to make a bunch of Chirstmas cards!
Till next time
Stacey
