Hello and welcome! Thanks for popping by today to see my latest project. I am so pleased that you have.
This week it is time for a sketch challenge this week.
For this challenge I decided to make a Christmas in July card using the Whimsy & Wonder Suite.
I used one of the designs from the Whimsy & Wonder 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper to cut the 10 1/2″ strips that I adhered to a layer of Blushing Bride cardstock. Then I wrapped and secured a length of Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon across the decorated layer.
The Christmas greeting is from the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set and was stamped using Blushing Bride ink. After trimming the greeting down, I cut a slightly larger Blushing Bride layer. I attached a Wonderful Snowflake on top of the pink layer and then, used Stampin’ Dimensionals, to pop the greeting up.
I cut two additional strips of the DSP to place inside the card and down one side of the envelope. The final step was to place some Elegant Faceted Gems on the card front.
There are some totally gorgeous new products about to be available and I have used some of them on this card. In particular, the Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon is going to be a favourite.
The small gaps between each of the strips of DSP remind me of pattern making/drafting when I would cut a pattern piece into strips and split and spread it open. It has been such a long time since I did any pattern making.
Until tomorrow, happy stamping.
If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. Just click on any of the images below.
Because some of the products I have used to make this card are not yet available to customers, I am not able to show them at this time. As soon as product images go live, I will create this section.
