Birdbrain's Tropical Christmas

Hello again,

In an effort to get at least two Christmas cards made this month, I have been busy today finishing off James earlier and making another card this afternoon. I have used two images from From the Heart Stamps called Jingle Bell Birdbrain and Tropical Christmas and merged them into one, I have tried fussy cutting part of the image and die cutting the remainder, I need more practise having lopped off a little too much.

I have used this weeks sketch from the ladies over at Paper Play Sketches and I’ve been a little sneaky, the green polka dot paper is cut in half to make it fit the card since the middle has another design…

Here is my card:-

 

 

What I used:-

White 5x7” card blank

Carta Bella Christmas time 6” pad

Echo Park Dots and Stripes Christmas 6” pad

From the Heart Stamps images Jingle Bell Birdbrain and Tropical Christmas

Derwent and Faber-Castell pencils

Sprinkled sugar stickles

Scrap green card for sentiment

Leftover kraft cardstock

MFT Merry Christmas

 

MFT Pierced Circle die

 

Adhesives Double-sided tape, foam tape and adhesive sheet

James' Christmas

Hello again,

I’ve been concentrating on my family history of late and trying to ignore my PC issues, hoping my uncle will come up with the goods on how to fix it, blogger is still playing up I can only scroll through part of the list of blogs I follow, it is also adding extra spaces that are not there to each post or squeezing everything up super close to each other.

I thought I’d better get my skates on and make a couple of cards for Christmas before the end of the shortest month, I have been colouring some mixed image for upcoming birthdays and Christmas with the intent still to be making a few of the latter each month. I bought my first two digi stamps from LOTV including this super cute James Big Star with the plan of using some of my vintage-y papers for the cards.

Here is my card:-

 

What I used:-

White 5” x 7” card blank

Kaisercraft Yuletide papers

White cardstock for printing

Colorbox cat’s eye inkpad ‘Olive pastel’

Sanding tool, scissors and a good scrunching to age the papers

Faber-Castell and Derwent Pencils

James Big Star Digi stamp (LOTV)

Wink of Stellar pen (supposedly clear but I think white would be a better description)

Fine line black pen to trace over lines covered by above

LOTV Circular Christmas Sentiment Set 5

Marianne Design Star Punch die

Couture Creations nesting rectangle die

Couture Creations nesting scalloped rectangle die

Self-adhesive pearls

Adhesive:- Double-sided tape
