I’ve been a little under the weather so I missed posting on Monday. I probably won’t be posting 3 times a week as I won’t be able to keep up with that and trying to keep my craft room from blowing up. Seriously, it is sooooo trashed right now!
I stopped at Hobby Lobby to pick up a few Christmas picks for card photos and came across the cutest paper pad by The Paper Studio. I don’t use a lot of patterned paper and I have a ton of of it. But I had to have this pad. The charcoal black background in many of the sheets is so cool. I couldn't link to it because it wasn't on Hobby Lobby's site.
I created this card based on a My Favorited Things Sketch Challenge #250 but just now realized I missed the deadline. Darn It! Maybe I’ll use that same pad to make one for next weeks challenge. ):
You guys need to let me know how much detail you want me to go into on how I made the card. I really don't want to bore you with long posts.
I stamped the sentiment from that same stamp set onto 40# vellum and attached it to the tag which I die cut using the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Duo 3 die and then created the banner bottom with a die set called Fishtail Banner Dies from a new company named Sunny Studio. I did a whole lot of die cutting and fussy cutting on this card.
This card is so stinkin' cute, Tammy. I love how everything you used goes together so well. And I didn't even notice the black background of the dsp because I was so busy looking at all the fun elements. It is an awesome card!! I see the cute little snowflake sequins that we both have. They are perfect for this card!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen! The little snowflakes added a nice final touch.
DeleteSuch a lovely card. I love the cute little Santa on top.
ReplyDeleteThank you and stay blessed

Thank you so much Salvwi!
DeleteIs Santa giving the universal "loser" sign? I love the black paper, who knew you could find a Christmassy black! Also, I love the stitching around the tag. Are the presents on the tag part of the paper or is that an embellishment that you added?
ReplyDeleteLOL, Santa is giving someone the loser sign. Hmmm were you a bad girl this year Jean? The presents are part of the stamp set. I just glammed them up a bit with some polka dots.
DeleteHa! Not badder than usual! But seriously, Santa is giving the L!
DeleteIt is just adorable, love the use of black - great paper!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my site and taking the time to comment.
DeleteI love this MFT set and it's really neat to see it against the black and that great patterned paper...in a world of white CAS, it's refreshing to see projects using lots of patterns and bold colors!!
ReplyDeleteThanks AJ. I like white space too. But most of my cards do not fall in the CAS realm. I don't think I am capable of making a simple card except if I copy someone else design. And even then I add to it. LOL
Deletewicked fun card! love the colors :) thank you for playing a long with us at simon says stamp wednesday challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by Jenn.
