Merry Christmas Mistletoe Card

Uncategorized

25 Oct

Hello, Crafters.

At last! I’ve started making my swaps for the OnStage Convention on 10th. November 2018! OK, so I’ve only made nine, but I’m planning to make ten a day so it’ll be a lot easier! My design, which will be a video to be posted on 11th. November is largely die cuts. This year, not only do I need to make my swaps, I also need to make team swaps, and to work on some projects for our craft day. Therefore, I need help getting my swaps made, and hubby volunteered to help if it’s die cutting!

Today’s card is way, way out of my comfort zone, although I’m pleased with the result! I was inspired by a card I saw in the Christmas Catalogue, which I’ve put my own spin on. I love this design of Designer Series Paper (DSP), which is called All Is Bright, but I couldn’t think of any ideas for using it……………..hence checking out the catalogue! I think I struggle with it as it’s quite a dark design. I liked the idea I saw in the catalogue of using the Sprig Punch and adding Basic Pearls for the mistletoe berries.

I decorated the inside of the card with a one inch strip of the DSP, plus a small bunch of mistletoe. Instead of Pearls for the berries, I punched some 1/8″ circles from the Sparkle (Dazzling Diamonds) Glimmer Paper, and I think they look just as good as the pearls! The cardstock I’ve used is Real Red and Call Me Clover – bright colours to give the darkness of the DSP a bit of a lift. I painted the words and the mistletoe using my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen, and just for once, it actually shows up in the photographs! Now there’s a result!!

The double bow was straightforward! I made two the same, adhered one with a Glue Dot, then I added a Glue Dot to the second bow, and adhered it in front of the other! When I’d finished the front of the card, I decided to decoarte the inside, but horror of horrors!! I’d adhered the front upside down! So I cut off the back part and the scored line, and measured what size card base I needed! I wonder if you noticed that there’s an extra layer to this card? LOL! Never mind! It’s not the first time and it certainly won’t be the last!

I think that’s about it from me today. I look forward to be back here tomorrow, and in the meantime, happy crafting!

JanB.

    Oh my dear, you are too funny! I noticed, but thought it was completely intentional and absolutely love it … but then I’m a layers kind of person … almost to the point where “the more the better”. Not quite true, but let’s just say, I don’t like to skimp!! I think you’ve done a brilliant job, personally! It’s a beautiful card, and … so glad that you have such a willing (and compassionate!) husband, to do your die-cutting for you. Yesterday, I needed a die-cutting husband, too … but not one to be found. Maybe someday … Love the pearls on the front for the Mistletoe and the DD berries on the inside work just perfectly! You are one VERY busy lady these days. [but then, when aren’t you?] LOL Excited for you though. You’ll soon be Florida bound too?

      Hi, Geraldine. Yes, I am blessed with a very supportive hubby! The only price I pay is that there’s so much “confetti” on the floor in the kitchen (where he does the die cutting) it looks like there’s been a wedding! LOL! No I’m not going to Florida. I had initially planned to go, but then there were several people in my team who wanted to go to OnStage in Birmingham. For some of them it’s their first time. I decided I should be here with them. When I heard there are going to be 7,000+ demos in Florida, I’m glad I’m not going! For me, that’s just too many people. I prefer to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond! Happy crafting, JanB. xx
