\nI made these for the\u00a0Splitcoaststampers Fan Club June Christmas Challenge<\/strong><\/a>! I’ve been having so much fun being a part of the challenge this year & the bonus is I’ll have a bunch of Christmas cards finished in plenty of time for Christmas this year. You’ll need to be Fan Club<\/a><\/strong> member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how.<\/span>\"\"<\/a>
\nThis was a lot of fun to make. It took a little engineering w\/ the light string image but I think it accurately represents what has surely happened to us all at one time or another. And if I could have gotten away w\/ it, I would have totally left them like this & called it a day. This tangled mess of lights is one reason my tree is now one of those that comes w\/ lights already on it, lol. I used a stamp a ma jig to position the light string into the chaotic mess it is then colored it & added the plug on the side. I stamped just a few pine branches & 1 ornament to give the impression of the unlit tree off to the side. The greeting was made up of little die cut letters. A while back, I saw one of those hand drawn joke cards w\/ this idea & thought I could create something similar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the Copics I used.<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Paper:<\/b>\u00a0Staples 110# white, pine green<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Accessories:<\/b> Copic markers, Lil’ Inker Stitched Rectangles dies, Sizzix celebration words dies, Copic mulitliner pen<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd just because I bought this set on clearance over a year ago & have never used it…I made a second card. Very easy since the stamps & matching dies pretty much do all the work. Stamped the whole image on the sand card stock, then again several more times on white, colored them, die cut them & popped the layers up on the original.\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
