Hi, everyone! It's Tuesday already! That means we have a brand-new sketch for you at
Tuesday Morning Sketches! I decided to make a winter holiday card. My goal this month is to make three, and this is my second one. All of the stamps are from Your Next Stamp.
My card began with the background. I decided to make my own background paper by heat-embossing a bunch of small holiday stamps in white on kraft cardstock. I layered this panel onto a white card base.
I stamped, coloured, and fussy-cut the bunny gingerbread image so I could pop it up on foam tape. I added Star Dust Stickles to the gingerbread's cap. Behind the image I layered a mini doily and behind that is a stitched vellum rectangle. I stamped the sentiment on a red scrap and then punched three snowflakes from the same scrap.
Clear stamps: Your Next Stamp (image and sentiment from YNS Christmas Cookie, tiny stamps on background from YNS Snowfall, YNS Waddles Holiday Food Truck, YNS Christmas Morning, YNS Sprinkles Happy Holiday, YNS Sweet Holiday Greetings)
Die: Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangle
Punch: Recollections Small Snowflake
Other: Doodlebug Mini Doily
Here's our

Hi teamie. What a coincidence that we both used vellum on our card. Pretty DP and that image is too cute!

Super cute image and a great background design for your holiday card.
ReplyDeleteI always think of embossing as a main feature of a card. For you to use it with small stamps to create a background is clever! Great idea that I must imitate. The layer of the doily is subtle but effective. The image of the bunny with a gingerbread man is adorable. You made a wonderful card.
ReplyDeleteA great card in all kinds of ways, your background embossing, the vellum etc. all make it so interesting. So glad you shared with us at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies, CarolG
ReplyDeleteWell done getting a few Christmas cards done early in the year! This is adorable! I love the embossed paper and wonderful design. Thanks for sharing this with us at Penny's!

ReplyDeleteLove your take on the sketch, this is such an adorable card. I love the embosdembon Kraft paper. I have never been able to make a card with Kraft paper. I am inspired to make one.
