Christmas Cards

“For though my faith is not yours and your faith is not mine, if we are each free to light our own flame, together we can banish some of the darkness of the world.” ~ Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks

Today I am sharing another set of cards that started out as a one sheet wonder project that I had started and then set aside. In the process I lost the layouts for the cards that went with the map so I just went with inspiration from cards I found on Pinterest.

Supplies used include, but are not limited to:

• Cards stock from The Paper Studio (bases) and Stampin Up!
• Design Paper “Festive Patterns” from Fun Stamper Journey
• Dies: Stampin Up! Edge die, CC Designs “Dottie Trim, Stampin Up! Corner punch, Sizzix “Holiday Words” and Maya Road “Holiday”
• Embossing folder: Stampin Up! “Gently Falling”
• Glitter Glue from Studio G
• Glitter paper from Recollections
• Glitter tape from Close to My Heart
• India Ink from Memories
• Iridescent Rhinestones from Recollections
• Other: White gel pen, adhesive and dimensional foam
• Sentiment stamps from Echo Park “Christmas Sentiments”, Close to My Heart “Christmas Story” and unknown
• Sequins from Close to My Heart
• Stash: Rhinestone Stars

Hi there!

Today starts a new monthly challenge at SheepSki Designs and this month our challenge theme is “For Someone Special”

This image I am using for my card is called Birthday Cocktail No.28 but I think it works for any number of celebrations, including everyday things we often overlook. 

The card layout is based from one found in the current June’18-June’19 Stampin Up! Catalog.

The background was created by sponging on several colors of blue ink then finger spraying them with a bit of water to get a bt of a droplet effect.

I covered the glass with diamond glaze after everything dried.
