WHITE HOLLY BACKGROUND WITH REINDEER FUN DIES!

Jenny Hayward

Did you know you can create your own textured background with dies?

For this card I diecut lots of white Berries and Holly leaves from the Reindeer Fun Dies and adhered these together. Then I added them to a white card mat. It adds a subtle texture.

Here’s how to Create this effect:

  • Diecut lots of Holly Leaves and Berries from the dies on white card.
  • Adhere the Holly and Berries together.
  • Lay all the Holly/Berry pieces out on the white card mat to position them how you like. Have some overhanging the edges.
  • Adhere them down to the card mat. Turn over the card and trim off the overhanging pieces.

Then complete the card as you like.

I added a strip of Reindeer Days Paper and a strip of the Green Glimmer Paper along with the bells coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I finished it off with a bow from the Real Red and Gold Ribbon.

Try this idea with some dies you have. It takes a little diecutting and sticking together but it is a fun way to use them.

Hope your Christmas Creating is going along well.

WEEK 10 – 12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – INKED EMBOSSED TECHNIQUE!

Jenny Hayward

Well this is an Oops!

Recently I posted our Week 11 project for 12 Weeks of Christmas – and I just realized Week 10 project was still sitting in the Drafts Folder! SO you all missed out. So sorry. So we might be out of order but here is our Week 10 project. Be ready for our last project later this week.

Week 10 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas Series. This week’s card uses a fun technique to add extra detail. It’s the Partial Inked, Embossed Technique.

This is the card.

I have used the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder. The technique is inking part of the Embossing Folder and embossing the card. You can follow along in the video below.

The paper strip is from the A little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper. The Holly is from the Reindeer Fun Dies and the sentiment from the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set.

We are coming to the end of the Christmas series. Hope they have inspired you. Check back on my blog for the past ones if you missed them.

Happy Christmas Crafting,

Jenny
