Hi all, I've got a couple more finished cards to share today. These two came together pretty quickly because they are stamped scene images by Anita Jeram for Colorado Craft Company.
I mentioned yesterday that I needed to step up the Christmas card making, so although these could have been winter or birthday cards, I went ahead and made them holiday cards.
This first card features the main image from the Snow Happy set. I started by adding a sentiment from my Scandinavian Prints Christmas set for Neat & Tangled.
Then I trimmed my panel down a bit, and adhered it to a light blue card base.
The frame is kraft cardstock that was first die cut using a rectangular die from My Favorite Things, and then cut a second time to add the oval opening using the Card Front Dies from Neat & Tangled.
The frame was then popped up over the image with foam tape. Super simple, but you really don't need a lot with a large image that carries the day.
The second card features one of the images from the Christmas Presents set. I love this image, but had ben kind of avoiding it because there are so many things to color in it and sometimes I get overwhelmed by having to find all the different color/shading combinations. Solution? Go with a monochromatic color scheme. In this case, I went with sepia tones.
I thought about making this just a birthday card since the colors aren't really Christmassy, but decided to go ahead and go with a Christmas theme. The sentiment is from Neat & Tangled's Santa's Wonderland set.
Papertrey Ink's Honey Nut cardstock was the perfect match for the color scheme, so I went with that for the base, but trimmed the panel down a bit more than I normally do so you can see more of it.
I'll have a couple more finished cards to share with you tomorrow!
