Hello, everyone! This is my second post today! I'm back to share a collage-style card. I went through my Christmas stash and found some fun elements to layer together. The acetate die-cut did not photograph well due to the bright sun but it's transparent in real life.
I started with a kraft card base and stamped the music background in gray. I added strips of washi tape along the top and bottom and stamped "No peeking" at the top. Next I layered a journal card and then a Christmas tree die-cut. The acetate sentiment and snowflake die-cuts were adhered next, along with some thin strips I trimmed from a sticker. The cute snowman stocking contains a shaker so I thought it added a bit of fun and dimension. The die-cut kitties were next, and lastly I added some sequins and star sequins to finish it off.
Here are the products used:
- Die-cut packs: K and Company (tree, word, snowflake), Deja Views (journal card)
- Dies: Impression Obsession Cats
- Stamps: SugarPea Designs Sweet Treats Christmas (sentiment), Heidi Swapp Music Notes (background)
- Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin' Up Going Grey
- Ribbon: Won from Little Scrap Pieces (thank you, Karen!)
- Other: Sequins, star sequins, snowman shaker, and washi tape from my Dollarama stash

Wow, what a fabulous collage card! I love all the different elements you added Kitty, especially that gorgeous Christmas tree. It was fun looking for all the different items you said you'd added to the card, some of them I didn't notice until you mentioned them. Fabulous job!

You've combined elements I wouldn't have thought of matching as they're different in style, a bit of vintage, a bit of modern, some classy some fun, but I think this turned out beautiful and different!
ReplyDeleteOooh I love this! Dollarama has some pretty cool stuff! Awesome collage card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea to go back through your stash and find those holiday goodies! Combining and layering the elements that you did made the card so interesting and was a treat to see! I enjoyed looking at the things you found and combined. This made me feel so happy for the holidays and I'm grateful that you took the time to share your skills with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
