- 4.25" x 5.5" white card blank, side opening
- a piece of white card stock, die cut using the NBUS MFT 'Stitched Cover-up Companion - Diagonal' die
- then I used the Santa stamp I wanted to use for the image as a guide to position the sentiment in place, using the Misti of course (with six to make it was such a help!). The sentiment is from Uniko's 'Most Wonderful' stamp set, stamped using Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink
- backed the aperture die with a piece of pale blue patterned paper from LOTV's 'Frosty Christmas' paper pad and glued the panel onto the card front
- then stamped the Santa onto white card stock snippets, using Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink and a stamp from MFT's 'Jingle All The Way' set
- coloured the image using Pro Markers, making the 'gift' blue to link to the LOTV background paper - and added some clear Wink of Stella to the fur and bobble on Santa's hat
- then die cut the Santa, using a card template for positioning the die (I've covered how to do this this a few times on here before), and the matching 'Jingle All The Way' set of dies
- stuck the Santa in place using thin sticky pads and stepped away from the 'cooking pot' - job done, times six, yay!
The design I used kept popping into my mind - so much so that I do wonder if I've seen it elsewhere and it lodged in a little brain cell here. I adore the MFT Cover Up die I used for this card, so many possibilities! I can see one finding its way into the Playground Toybox at some point :)
This is such a cute card! Love that Santa and the overall design of your card!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute Santa Di and the card looks great with the sentiment across the diagonal panel of this lovely die, and with a nice stitched edge too. x

I love Christmas too Di but SD would rather pretend it wasn't happening. I bought him a Bah Humbug mug last year and he uses it as his weekend mug for big cups of tea :-) xx

ReplyDeleteFabulous card, love that die too. Still not managed to make any Christmas cards yet. I just had to get that stamp set when it came out and it's still sat on Mount NBUS, you may have inspired me to ink it up. Cara x

ReplyDeleteThis one is so cheerful, Di! I'm pinning it! Whether you came up with the design or it lodged in there from somewhere else, it's brilliant! Hope your back continues to feel better! Love and hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous die. As you say, the possibilities are endless!
ReplyDeleteYour adorable Santa is perfect here and the Misti was perfect for centering your stamped sentiment.
I have mine with me this week, for our first trip up to the lake. I plan to give my Misti a go this week. Hopefully ot solves my crocked sentiment problems!
Love this - very designer.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Those santas are such fun too, but you really must stop enabling me as I'm off to check out the MFT die now.
