1) use Real Red ink to stamp Merry Christmas greeting near the top of one of the smaller white cardstock panels(3.75x5")
2) use black ink to stamp snowman with knit cap underneath sentiment on small white panel. Color snowman's scarf as desired with green and red markers. Add accents of clear Wink of Stella if desired.
3)Allow ink and wink of Stella to dry then Run the stamped panel thru the eyelet embossing folder.
3) attach stamped and embossed white panel to Basic Grey panel then adhere to the Real Red cardfront.5.5" x8.5"
Stamp desired holiday greeting with Real Red ink on remaining white panel and adhere to the inside of card ..I used Merry Cbristmas but Let It Snow works well, too.
Stamp "hoping this season builds heartwarming memories" with real red ink in center of inside panel.
If you like, you can also add the snowball juggling snowman in bottom right corner of inside of card.Isn't he adorable? Don't forget to color his buttons red and his carrot nose orange!
a little "bonus project" for this month...how cute is the little snowman gift tag and the "go-jus" metallic gold pizza box! I ordered some just to check them out and oooohhh!! I love them and couldn't resist sharing them with you as a special little treat this month!
I am definitely ordering more to use for the kids' Christmas gifts this year...hard to wrap a check and make it look pretty! I suspect these could possibly sell out quickly so if you are thinking "stocking stuffers" don't wait too long!
To create this use the Scalloped tag punch and a 2" wide strip of red cardstock in whatever length tag you desire . punch out the tag and cut white cardstock at 1.75" wide just slightly shorter than your tab.
Stamp the little snowman at the bottom of the tag and stamp the Merry Christmas greeting in permanent black ink. To make the sentiment fit ink up Merry using a marker or by tapping only that portion of stamp on edge of inkpad. the stamp is clear so it's pretty easy to "eyeball it" when inking. Stamp Merry at top of tag then CLEAN stamp thoroughly and repeat inking "process " for "Christmas" and stamp that just below Merry and above snowman. Use a length of white polka dot tulle ribbon for a knot at top of the tag.
Hope you like it, too!
