Quick Batch of Xmas Cards by Amanda Southern
00:00
Hi Everyone
Time is flying past me at the moment and at this time of the
year, I am sure like many of you, crafting takes a bit of a back seat. I
thankfully have never got into making loads of Xmas cards and have full respect
to those that do, but I do have to make a few for close family. So with time
against me, I always leave it till the last minute, talking about last minute I
haven’t bought any Xmas presents either yet!!! I had to come up with something
quick.
Here’s What I Did:-
I
started by making a masterboard which I made using a piece of kraft card stock
and randomly stamped the 3 different star stamps onto it. I then randomly added
orange and yellow Distress crayons which I blended into the stars using my
fingers. I then cut into strips, 3 in total from one piece of A4 card.
I then
stamped each of the 3 stars onto one of the wooden discs, you could also use
MDF shapes instead. Again I coloured using Distress crayons, blending into the
stars. I then flicked white Dylusions paint, slightly thinned down, onto the
stars and background.
I used
some fine natural twine to hang the wooden disc and wrapped some more around
the cut strip. The strip was then mounted onto a white background using 3D gel.
The sentiment is from a Dina Wakley stamp set, all was then added to a kraft
card blank.
What I Used:-
Distress Crayons – Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade & Squeezed Lemonade
Wooden Disc or similar ie MDF Shapes
Kraft
8” x 8” Card Blank
A quick one from me this week, but hopefully a little bit of
inspiration for you if you, like me, need a quick idea.
See you next week
Love
