The Santa Express Suite is such a fun collection of new products.
The card started with a Shaded Spruce base. Then a tied a small bow in a length of Iridescent Trim and wrapped it around a piece of patterned paper from the Santa Express 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The DSP was then attached to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Christmas greetings and images were stamped before being cut using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. A few dimensionals later and the greetings were up on the card front.
For this W card I cut a 11-1/2″x 1-1/2″ piece of Poppy Parade cardstock and scored it into 4 even sections.
I cut four 2-1/2″ squares in Basic White cardstock and stamped Santa’s engine and three carriages using Mementto Jet Black ink. Then I used a variety of Stampin’ Blends pens to colour the images – Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Poppy Parade, Petal Pink, Granny Apple Green, Evening Evergreen, Shaded Spruce, Basic Gray and Mint Macaron.
A piece of Shaded Spruce was cut and placed inside the card as a pocket for the Basic White tag to sit inside.
Using a small scrap of Basic Gray cardstock, I die cut the lttle puffs of smoke to drift from the engine stack.
A few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to add some bling was the final step.
Who knows what tomorrow might bring.
Until then, happy stamping.
