Jar of Cheers Christmas Tag Card -Try Stampin' on Tuesday #292

Can you believe it's the middle of October?  Christmas is rapidly approaching, so the card I am making for the sketch challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday is a Christmas card.  And because the added challenge is that a tag is part of the sketch this card is a tag card.

 

The snowman from the Jar of Cheers stamp set is coloured with SU markers, and dazzling diamonds applied to the hat and the snow upon which the snowman is standing.  Snow is stamped around the snowman using Pool Party ink.

 

A 3 by 3" piece of Whisper White card stock, after embossing with the Cable Knit Embossing folder, is die cut with the smaller of the mason jars and a shaker element made with red and green sequins  as the shaker elements. The jar is outlined with a gold sticker strip and a smoky slate lid added to the top.  The left upper corner was decorated with 2 evergreen sprigs, which were die cut using the.Pretty Pines Thinlets, a cherry cobbler ribbon, and a mini pinecone embellishment.  A 1/8" hole was punched with the hand held punch and gold tag twine inserted through this.

This "tag" was layered with a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock, and adhered to the card front.

The basic card is Cherry Cobbler, layered with Whisper White cardstock which embossed with the Lucky Stars embossing folder and then with Iridescent  Ice embossing powder.

Two strips of This Christmas DSP were adhered to the Whisper White layer.  The shaker element was adhered over this.

 Happy World Card Making Day!!

The weather on this first of October Day is finally cooler, and we're even having some rainfall, although not as much as the flooding deluge that Windsor experienced. A perfect day to stay indoors and make some cards - relax and make some cards - even though I really need to work and replenish the stock that was sold at my sale yesterday.

This is the card I ended up making.

 

The base card is Cherry Cobbler cardstock, layered with Warmth and Cheer DSP, followed with the Whisper White image piece.  This piece was embossed with the Brick Wall embossing folder. The rest of the die cuts were built on this background.


"Noel" was die cut in Cherry Cobbler cardstock and adhered to the top of the art piece.

On a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock, three stockings were stamped- one with Cherry Cobbler, one with Garden Green, and one with  Delightful Dijon and then die cut with the Christmas Stockings Thinlets.  They were then embossed with the new Cable Knit embossing folder.
The tops, heels and toes were die cut using Dazzling Diamond glimmer paper and adhered to the stocking; The snowflakes die cut from the center of another stocking.

The stockings were hung from pine boughs which were die cut in Garden Green and the Pretty Pines Thinlet.  At the top of each stocking I adhered a bow made with linen thread.

Cable Knit Sweater Card

At my class last Wednesday my students could not keep their eyes off the Cable Knit Sweater card that I had made earlier in the day.
I used the video tutorial by Tami White here to help me make the sweater.
Then, at the team meeting, I showed everyone how to make the sweater card using the Cable Knit embossing folder and the metal rimmed pearls. And   the sweater will be made at the next class as well.
