Joy Noel & Melty Snowman

Posted on December 21, 2015 10:53 AM by Julie Comment

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

Today’s Free for All Challenge (F4A304) is to use just one word. Got it! Actually, I started this card a long time ago for the SC553 sketch challenge & since the parts were already colored & cut out, I just went ahead & finished it. Not a moment too soon, either. I still have a week until Christmas & I don’t want to rush into anything, lol.

After stamping & coloring the Triple Ornaments, I stamped the center & right ones again on another piece, colored & fussy cut. The blue one is elevated a little, and the red one a little bit more. The Joy was stamped & the original image has a cute little mouse sitting in the lower crook of the J so I wiped the ink off that part & used a black Micron pen to finish off the letter. It was colored & fussy cut to add on top of the black bar. The sketch had a semi circle element above the top line, so I used a silver half circle.

I added a silver die cut strip on top of the angled red piece on the left . The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 & here are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you haven’t, please head on over and check out the DRS Thursday Challenge..this week it’s a color challenge. DRS images are not required & there’s a nice prize up for grabs!

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.
