Joy Noel & Melty Snowman

My first card is for today’s Technique Challenge (TLC565) to put a bow on your project. This is a very simple card…the front is one big die cut that covers the card front. I die cut it out of a dk green w/ gold dots designer paper

After die cutting it, I die cut it again using the largest die from the flourished star pattern die then backed it w/ a piece of ivory that has small flecks in it. A lt kraft layer was added behind it & I used the same lt kraft to die cut the bow.

Supplies:

Stamps: none

Paper: dk green dp (Paper Studio -Christmas Traditions), ivory flecked, lt kraft

Ink: none

Accessories: ODBD Flourished Star Pattern, Medium Bows dies, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A, Holiday Greetings dies

Melty Snowman

My second card is also CAS (clean & simple) & is for the CAS356 Challenge to use a snowman. I stamped my snowman, masking just the very bottom, then added the “melty” part w/ a Micron pen. The tree line was stamped behind him & I added a little color w/ Copics & some sparkle w/ stickles.

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Simply Snowman, Snow Background, I Melt for You, Tree Line Border

Paper: X-Press It white, aqua, sparkle fleck gray

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Distress ink tumbled glass

Accessories: Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B, petite ovals dies, stickles, Copic markers

Green Snowman

This is for 3 Splitcoast Challenges…the sketch (SC570), the Technique (TLC563) & the CAS (CAS354). It’s been a long time since I combined more than 2 challenges.
For the CAS, it was to use Christmas greens. I used only greens…5 shades of green from a Kaleidacolor ink pad. And since I really didn’t color anything & it’s all die cuts, it really was easy. For the Technique, we were to use small stamps to create something. I used 3 small images to make the large circle & a small greeting to make the border. I just eyeballed the placement & it worked out pretty good. For the sketch, I did a little finagling….I rotated it counterclockwise, my panel 5 is a bit larger to accommodate the snowman & my greeting is also round.

Everything was stamped w/ the fresh greens rainbow pad onto water color paper (that’s why it isn’t bright white). For the snowman, I used a water brush to drag the color in for shadows then dried it & over stamped w/ the same ink to sharpen the details again. The panels were all die cut & I used the same inks & water brush to add color to the edges. A little stickles was added along w/ a glittery round embellishment I colored green w/ a Copic (it was clear).

Here’s a look at the simple inside.

ODBD joins CardMaker for a Blog Hop!

Posted on December 2, 2015 7:58 AM by Julie 10 Comments

Welcome! Today Our Daily Bread designs and CardMaker are teaming up for a fabulous Christmas Blog Hop you won’t want to miss!

For my card today, I used a piece of my favorite paper from the ODBD Christmas Collection 2014 as well as some very glittery card stock. I just love sparkle & shine for the holidays & it doesn’t get much more glittery than this! After I die cut the teal paper using the outer die from the Flourished Star Pattern dies, I used the tiny scallop die from the Leafy Edged Borders to cut off the lower section and let some of the white glitter card stock show through. The Merry & Ornament topper were die cut out of the teal glitter & the ornament back out of the white glitter & I stacked a couple of white die cut Merrys & ornaments under the glitter ones for some dimension.

The Medium Bow & and some Stars were also die cut & added to finish.

Here’s a look at the inside using the cut off piece of dp from the front, a few sparkly stars & a greeting from the Christmas Tunes set.

Your next stop is Mendi Yoshikawa!
