Thinking Of You This Christmas

Hello my friends, the last Christmas cards rolled off the production line last week and are now in the mail. I'm sharing the cards I made for friends who will be spending this Christmas without their loved ones. I used my favourite snowflakes from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Weathered Winter and Simon Says Stamp Scripty Thinking Of You die from the DieCember release.

I trimmed Neenah Desert Storm cardstock to create 4 - 4.1/2" x 6.1/2" panels, stamped the large snowflake from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Weathered Winter, inked with Versamark ink, sprinkled with White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set.

I stamped a smaller snowflake from the same stamp set, heat set with Gold Embossing Powder and stamped a small snowflake from Simon Says Home For The Holidays, inked with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I die-cut the Simon Says Stamp Scripty Thinking Of You shadow from Distress Watercolor card, placed the word die on top and die-cut again. I fixed to the panels leaving the words in their negative spaces using Distress Collage Medium.

I fixed Simon Says Tear-rific Adhesive sheet to Gold Matte cardstock, die-cut the words, peeled from the adhesive sheet and fixed in place over the original words.

I stamped the sentiment from Simon  Says Holiday Messages on to Distress Black HeavyStock, inked with Versamark ink, sprinkled with White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set.

I die-cut the sentiments using Simon Says Stamp Nested Banners and fixed to the panels with Distress Collage Medium. To finish I added shading around the edges of the panels using Scorched Timber Distress Ink and a mini round blending tool and fixed the panels to 5" x 7" white card blanks.

Happy Crafting whatever you're making.
