Christmas in July 4

Hello, it’s Deborah here with you today and it’s my last Christmas in July post. This week I have three cards made using products from Lawn Fawn. Here’s the first:

This is a top folding A2 (US size) white note card. I used a stitch edged die to cut out a panel of white card onto which I stamped Lawn Fawn’s Snowy Backdrops in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with silver powder. I then blended pale aqua and soft grey inks to make the sky. I cut a piece of dark aqua card with the same die and adhered it to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the bold, crisp Happy Holidays sentiment from Lawn Fawn’s Simply Winter Sentiments in white ink and heat embossed with white powder. I adhered the panel to black card and glued it to the card. I finished the front by adding the row of cute snowmen from Lawn Fawn’s Simply Celebrate Winter. I stamped the snowmen on white card, coloured them with Copic markers, returned them to my stamp positioner and restamped with Versafine black ink. I heat embossed with clear powder and used the matching Simply Celebrate Winter die to cut out the snowmen. I adhered them with dimensional pads and added some shimmer with a clear aqua shimmer brush.

Inside the card, I cut a mat layer of black card. On the white panel I stamped the Christmas trees from Simply Celebrate Winter and coloured them with Copic markers. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn’s Simply Winter Sentiments.

Next, I created a Christmas scene using Lawn Fawn’s Simply Celebrate Winter and Snowy Backdrops. I started by cutting out the panel of white card with a stitch edged die. I masked off a section at the bottom, I used a post-it note and circle die to mask the moon and then blended several inks to create a night sky. I moved the mask and blended shades of green for the ground. I stamped the Christmas trees and houses from Lawn Fawn’s Simply Celebrate Winter, and used the same technique as above to stamp, colour and die cut the images. I cut the trees in half and glued one half flat to the panel on the left. I used dimensional pads to add the houses, and double pads to add the other half of the trees on the right of the panel. I adhered the whole lot to a black mat layer and then added that to the front of my notecard. I decided to skip a greeting on the front, but I did add some glitter to the snow on the roof tops and along the tree edges.

Inside, I cut a mat layer of black card. On the white panel, I stamped the Snowy Backdrop across the centre of the panel in pale aqua ink. I finished by adding the large sentiment from Snowy Backdrops – I cut it in half to make it fit.

My last card is very clean and simple. Using the technique outline above I stamped the Christmas baubles from Lawn Fawn’s Simply Celebrate Winter and used the matching die to cut it out. I coloured the image with Copic markers and used some glitter pens to add sparkle to the baubles. I finished the front by drawing in the strings to hold up the baubles and added a simple sentiment, also from Simply Celebrate Winter.

Inside, I cut a mat layer from red card. On the white panel I stamped the Snowy Backdrop in pale blue ink down the centre of the panel and added a greeting, from Snowy Backdrop, in black. I adhered the finished panel inside my card.

That’s it – I made a total of 12 Christmas cards for my stash during the month. It feels great to get ahead with Christmas cards – no rush later this year!!

Thanks for staying with me. See you next week.

Deborah, x
