Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge #1 and a Quick Christmas Card tutorial

Friday, November 06, 2009

This is the 2nd card from me today, so make sure you scroll down on the blog to see the procject I made for Sukkersött this week.

It's time to start the challenges(every Friday)over at the Wags 'n Whiskers blog. You need to use a W'nW stamp to join and this week you have to make your card sparkle.
I have made a quick christmas card for this challenge. December is coming soon and if you're in a hurry it's nice to make some of those quick cards. Scroll down on this post to see my tutorial.
For this card I used the Sweet Danni and Bella stamp. The sentiments on this card are from Inkido. Papers are from Melissa Frances and the ribbons I bought at Walmart at our honeymoon to Miami and New Orleans;)

Here is the tutorial on how to make a quick christmas card:

Cut some cardstock in 6x12" and fold it in half.

The image is Sweet Danni and Bella from Wags 'n Whiskers. To save time I only coloured some elements of the image. I used Touch Marker Wine Red. The patterned papers I used are from Melissa Frances.
Cut cardstock and patterned papers. The measurements I used are:
White Cardstock: 1 piece 14,8x14,8 cm and 1 piece 13,5x11,5 cm
Striped paper: 14,3x14,3 cm
Music note paper: 13x11 cm

Red Cardstock: 7x10 cm

Image: 6,5x9,5 cm

Then ink the edges of the image and the patterned papers with some brown ink. I used Distress Ink Vintage Photo. Use adhesive tape to glue the image and the patterned papers to the cardstock panels.


This is how the panels look before you assemble the card.

Assemble the two patterned papers panels to each other. Then you tie some ribbons to your card.

And then you put the image over the ribbons.

Add some embellies to the card. I used some bling swirls from Prima, felt snowflake from SU and glitter snowflake from MM.

Make a white panel to use inside the card. The measurements of mine is 14,8x14,8 cm.
Stamp some snowflake stamps and sentiments on it before you glue it on the cardstock. I also onked the edges of this white panel with the brown ink.


Assemble the panels to the red card. At the end you use some Stickles(I used Frosted Lace) on some parts of your image. I used it on the sock and cat's hat. And also on the ribbon on Danni's dress.

When the Stickles was dry I spraye dthe whole card with some Shimmerz Spritz to make it sparkle even more.

This is how the card looked when it was finished! Good luck making your Christmas cards.
Hugs from Kristine:)
