Set of Coordinating Cards
For my blog hop post on release day, I wanted to showcase a set of coordinating cards you can create as a gift set or to send out to family for Christmas.
List of Supplies for Set of Coordinating Cards
My Monthly Hero Card Kit - October 2020 (actual kit link becomes live Monday, 1PM EDT)
Hero Arts Cranberry Cardstock (get the sampler first — you’ll thank me later)
Card #2 — Nordic Wonderland Scene
For this scene, I cut some curves out of plain paper and brushed on the Wet Cement and Soft Granite inks in graphic hills and meadows along the front. Then, i stamped the images in a flat array around the scene with the same inks, just adding pops of red here and there.
Card #3 - Have a Jolly Christmas
For this card, I stamped the large ornament image onto the front with Charcoal Ink. Then, I masked it off with copy paper. Then, I added the sweater-like embellishments on each side of the ornament.
I added the red deer, sprigs and sentiment with Red Royal ink.
Card #4 - Patterned Paper Card
For card #4, I created some patterned paper with the images from the kit and Charcoal ink. Then I popped in some Red Royal hearts. I die cut the ornament and the inside shapes, too. I inked up the scalloped edged piece with Charcoal ink and adhered it between the center shape and the main ornament piece.
Next, I embossed the sentiment on the front with the Red Embossing Powder included in the kit! To finish it off, I popped it all up on some foam tape! I wanted to tie a bow on the ornament, but can you believe I own ZERO twine?
Card #5 — Vellum Covered Patterned Paper Card
This card follows much the same steps as card #4. I just reversed the amount of red and gray colors on the patterned paper. Then, I covered it all with a vellum flap. I switched out the cardsock to Cranberry for the large ornament die cut, did the Charcoal ink to white cardstock for the scalloped piece and the Ivory Cardstock Center.
I stamped the sentiment with Charcoal Ink and adhered it all to the front of the vellum flap. I finished the front of the card by embossing the string for the ornament with White Sparkle embossing powder from the kit!
Open it up for a greeting! I added a backing behind the front ornament on the back of the vellum flap, to hide the adhesive. And on the inside, I adhered a red center die cut from the ornament.
You can write your own greeting inside with a white gel pen!
Card #6 — from the Countdown — check it out here!
Next, I die cut the Greeting fancy die from last months release and adhered it to the front of the acetate window. Then, I adhered the two card bases together to create a tri-fold.
Next, I trimmed down the graveyard scene and adhered to the inside flap of the tri-fold to finish off the card!
