Draped Ornaments Slimline Christmas Card | Technique Junkies | BIG SALE!

 

Hello everyone.  I hope y'all are doing well this holiday season.  I've been busy giving some album classes to photography clubs and making special order albums for some people in town.  Today I just had to make a card for a change of pace.  The stamps I used are on sale and that info is at the end of today's post. 

Today's card is a slimline Christmas card using 2 stamps from Technique Junkies -Draped Ornaments and Dotted Merry Christmas.  I also used 2 dies from the Essentials: Slim Stitched Rectangle Die Set from Pink Fresh Studio.  

• I made a 3 5/8" x 8.25" slimline card base by cutting a piece of white cardstock, 7.25" x 8 5/8"", then scoring on the short side at 3 5/8".  Folded it in half, burnished well, and I had my base.  
• Using the largest of the slimline dies from the Pink Fresh Studio Slim Stitched Rectangle Die set, I die-cut a piece of red cardstock and adhered it to my card front.   If you do not have these dies, you can cut a piece of red cardstock, 3 5/8" x 8.5/8".
• I used the largest non-stitched die to cut a piece of white cardstock.  Then I stamped Draped Ornaments on the cardstock - twice - using a stamp positioner and black ink.  If you do not have this die, cut a piece of white cardstock, 3.25" x 8.25" and then do your stamping. 

• Then I colored all the ornaments using my Ultra Fine Tip BIC markers and stamped Dotted Merry Christmas in the lower right corner.
• I adhered a piece of fun foam to the back and then I adhered the colored ornaments to my card front.  If you don't have fun foam, you can use foam tape.  

To finish off the card...

• I adhered some small crystals to the larger dots in the image, on the strings that are holding the ornaments.
• Then I added various Stickles to the ornaments for even more bling. 

The 2 stamps I used on this card - Draped Ornaments and Dotted Merry Christmas, are part of the HUGE sale - everything on the Technique Junkies website is 30% off (no coupon code needed) and, if you use my code at checkout, TJ10Michael, you will save an additional 10%.  THAT...IS...A...DEAL.

Hugs from Brasil.
