Hello!
I am so happy to share a Christmas card with you today! As I created this card, all I could see out my window were changing leaves, green grass, and sun! Sure enough, though, the Christmas season will be here!
For my card today, I used a couple of the newest products that were just released, Stitched Octagon Layers, and the adorable, Gnome For Christmas stamp set, and matching dies.
To begin my card, I die cut the largest octagon die twice, and set one aside. I applied two shades of blue ink to the top, blending downward. I then hand cut a couple snow mounds, and set bot aside. I stamped out my trees, as well as the adorable Polar bear, and colored those with Copic Markers, die cutting them out when I finished.
I then stamped my sentiment, which I trimmed so that I could stack them. Don't worry, you can always put them back together to stamp the way it was intended. Taking the second octagon, I scored the top portion of it, and adhered that flap to the card front, so that it would open. As a finishing touch, I added snow using my white gel pen, and glittered the bears scarf with a bit of glitter pen.
I hope you've had a chance to check out the fabulous new products available! There are so many to chose from, and all are fun!
