Card #1 Twas the Night Before Christmas
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there…
The first card, inspired by the still of Christmas Eve, features the door die cut in half to create a fire place with stockings a tree and two pups. You can actually get two fire places out of one die cut with this door die. Just flip the bottom up and voila!
I used Copic markers to color in this card and die cut all the images, popping them up on foam tape. The sentiment comes from the kit and I fussy cut it. I backed the panel with some Hero Arts Azalea cardstock
Card #2
For my second card, I used the door die to create a card panel, and then I colored it in with Copic markers. The wreath and potted plants come in the kit, too!! This die can be used to decorate gift bags, too, but it works perfectly for cards.
Card #3
For my third card, I did some masking, so that the panel is just one layer. I started by stamping the ribbon down the staircase. Then the staircase behind it and the tree behind the staircase. Next, I stamped the pup and rug, and the chair image behind it. Afterward, I used my Scor Buddy and a bone folder to create the look of a paneled wall behind it all.
Card #4
For my last card, I did some repeat stamping with the grandfather clock image on some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. Then, I stamped and die cut the chair and mouse images with the same paper and popped them up on some foam tape. The sentiment goes perfectly with the clocks background.
