Let's get into the holly jolly card details!
First, I colored up my images from the
Freckle Friends: Holly Jolly Stamp Set
with Copic Markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I set them aside for later.
with Copic Markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I set them aside for later.
Next, I used the Simple Plaid A2 Cover Plate Die to cut the die from light gray paper. I took an A2-size piece of the same color paper, distressed the edges with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink, and adhered the plaid die cut directly on top. My goal was to create a wallpaper effect with the die.
I then took a thin strip of brown cardstock and distressed the bottom edge with Scorched Timber Distress Ink. I heat embossed the sentiment "Have a merry little Christmas" in white embossing powder. I adhered this strip to the bottom of my plaid panel, in landscape orientation, to act as a floor for my scene. I also took a thinner white strip of paper and adhered it directly above the brown floor to act as a floor board.
For my dreamy outdoor window, I took the Basic Die Cutting Set 1 and die cut the arched window from white paper. The whole shape wasn't going to fit on my card, so I trimmed off the bottom most section. I then placed the window frame on top of one of the dreamy patterns included in the
Holiday Watercolor Evergreens A2 Fabulously Glossy Cardstock, traced the shape lightly in pencil, and cut it out slightly smaller. I adhered my window frame on top of the evergreen scene, and then adhered the window unit onto my main card panel.
Using a combination of liquid adhesive an foam tape, I adhered my images to my card. I also adhered a few sequins from the Oh, What Fun Sequin Mix Plus to my card, and adhered the whole unit to an A2-size card base.
My card was completed!
