Hello, friends and happy Thursday!! I have a card to share today featuring some of the new goodies from yesterday’s Triinty Stamps release!! This would be great to mass produce for the holidays, as it’s pretty simple to create. It fits in a 5″x7″ envelope and there isn’t any bulk, so there’s not any extra postage required.
I began by die-cutting the card base in the Arch-Shaped Die Set from heavyweight white cardstock (I had to tape the die in place and run it through my Empress a few times) and the second largest die in the same set from Bristol smooth cardstock. I gold heat embossed the nativity scene and star from the Sketchy Nativity Stamp Set and the sentiment from the Elegant Christmas Sentiments Stamp Set onto the Bristol smooth panel.
I blended Salty Ocean, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks onto the panel using Blending Buddy Brushes. I used a paper towel to buff the excess ink from the heat embossed image and sentiment.
Next, I die-cut the images with the Sketchy Nativity Dies and the sentiment from the Elegant Sentiments Dies from scrap cardstock. I laid the die-cuts over the images on the background.
The panel was splattered with diluted gold watercolor paint and white ink using a paintbrush.
The die-cuts served as masks against the splatters.
The panel was adhered to the card base using liquid glue.
I adhered lots of stars from the Gold Star Confetti Mix around the outside of the panel and this card was finished.
I love the unique shape of the card base. It makes this simple card a little more special.
Thank you so much for dropping by today!! Be sure to check out the fantastic new release from Trinity Stamps!!
