Hello there crafty friend!
It's day 4 of the Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party!! I'm having so much fun seeing all the wonderful entries in the linky party! Today I'm adding another cute card to my Christmas stash! This time I played with the super cute Flurries of Love stamp set from Sponsor Pink & Main that was an exclusive stamp for STAMPtember over at Simon Says Stamp. It was just too cute for me pass up! If you love this stamp set, check out Hello Winter over at Pink & Main... some super adorable and cute snowmen stamps! Just saying!
I paired up the cute Flurries of Love with the Knit Picky 6x6 Petite Paper Pad from our Sponsor Lawn Fawn! These pretty papers aren't available anymore. But they do have some similar papers called Knit Picky Winter Petite Paper Pack. I love these pretty papers! I've had them for quite awhile and thought it would be fun to use some of the scraps for the paper scrap quilting technique that Jenni Shamblin shared for our last linky party. It's a great technique for scrap papers.
I had hoped to share a video for this technique but time has not been on my side. But the basic idea is to adhere strips of pattern paper diagonally to a piece of copy paper leaving a little space in between the paper strips. I used a 8-1/2 x 5-1/2" piece of copy paper and just went all the way across with my strips of paper. I used 1/2" strips of pattern paper for the card I shared earlier this month for the Friends of Unity Blog Hop. But for this card I used 3/4" strips of pattern paper and then I cut the paper into 3.4" strips. And then I adhered the strips again to a piece of copy paper leaving a bit of white space between the strips. I then die cut the panel using the largest die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} from our lovely Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. All of my papers layers are adhered using the iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from Sponsor Therm O Web.
I stamped the cute images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them up with my Copics. I die cut the images using the coordinating dies and then adhered them to a white stitched circle that I die cut using a die from the Scallops & Circles {nesting dies} from Unity. I also die cut a red mat using a die from that set from Pure Poppy card stock from Papertrey Ink. I then added foam tape called iCraft 3D Foam Tape Jumbo Roll from Therm O Web to the back of the circles and popped the focal image up on the card. To finish off the card I added a bit of red bling from the Hologram Red Card Bling from Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs. I just love how this card turned out!
Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:
Snowman: C00, C2, R00, R20, YR15
Snowman Hat: N2, N4, N6, R20, R14, R46
Scarves: YG11, G24, G46

ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch, Becca!
DeleteWhat an adorable card. Absolutely love it. <3
ReplyDeleteThe strips on the background, are they diagonal, vertical or horizontal? The way that you explain it makes me think that they must be vertical, but I can't quite see that as they are not aligned vertically.
Thanks so much, Ann! The strips on the paper are diagonal and then cut into strips vertically. I hope that makes sense.
DeleteI like the strip technique shared. I'll have to find the post you mentioned to see better how it's done.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
