Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the sweet Truckloads of Love stamp and die set again. But this time we go holiday themed. I love that this set is so versatile, it can be used all year round. And how cute are the critters!!
For this festive card I selected one of the ornament dies from my stash and cut it from white Neenah paper. You can create this shape yourself with any circle die you have and a rectangle for the topper. The scalloped edge can be achieved with several dies like the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I inked the inside of the ornament with pink Distress Oxide inks Kitsch Flamingo and Worn Lipstick, leaving the bottom part white. Of course, I had to add splatters too!
Since this is a winter Holiday
card, I wanted to replicate a snowy, frosty look around the borders of the
ornament. First, I glued the pink panel into place and added an acetate layer
on top. Next, I added the white circle border with topper. I searched through
my stash to find a white pigment ink, which I then applied all around the
borders of the circle with a small blending brush. This also gave me an
indication of how wide I wanted my frosty border to be. Next, I used a glue
bottle with a fine tip and glue that dries clear. Then it was time for the fun
part: adding all the sparkly glitter (I use a dedicated box for this, if not my
desk is a real mess!!).
While the glue was drying, I selected my images from the Truckloads of Love stamp set. I chose the truck, the Christmas tree, and the cute raccoon. All the coloring was done with Copic Markers, and I added some snowflakes with a white gel pen.
The large Merry Christmas sentiment was stamped with red ink from my stash and cut with the matching dies (Holiday Greetings stamp and die set). I mounted the images and sentiment onto the ornament shape with foam tape. The topper was cut from white glitter paper, and I added a little pink bow to make the card extra festive!Thank you for joining me and I am wishing you a wonderful holiday season!
