Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas September 2023 | Technique Junkies | Christmas Card

 

Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2023 Edition of The Crafty Elves' Countdown to Christmas.  If this is your first time here, on the 25th of each month, I am part of a Christmas collab with some of my Crafty Elf friends - Debra of Meticulosity and Lisa of Life of a BZScrapper - and we each post a fun Christmas or Holiday card to help inspire you to make your own.  

This month we have a Guest Crafty Elf - Pam Kline Stang of Mustang Creations. Links to the other Elves' cards, and to our social media pages, are at the end of this post.   

This month I made a Christmas card using 2 stamps - Christmas Frame and the Gifts of Christmas Set - both from Technique Junkies.

• I made a top-folding A2 card base using red cardstock.  Then I stamped the Christmas Frame stamp on white cardstock, die-cut it using a 4.25" x 5.5" stitched rectangle die, and adhered it to the card front.  
• Next, I colored in the image using a variety of BIC Intensity Ultra Fine Tip Markers.
• For the center, I cut a piece of red and gold cardstock, used a decorative punch on the corners, and adhered them to the center.  
• I cut a piece of white cardstock and stamped one of the sentiments from the Gifts of Christmas Set.  I used the same decorative punch on the corners and adhered this to the gold cardstock.  
• For the inside, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock, die-cut it with a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, stamped another of the sentiments from the Gifts of Christmas Set, and adhered it to the inside of the card.  
• Lastly, I added some stickles to the card front to add some shimmer.  

I hope you have enjoyed this card and I really hope you will find time to visit the other Crafty Elves and see what they made.  Their links are all below.
