Christmas Theme & Giveaway Week- Day 3

Hi there! Marge here today. I’m so glad to share two cards featuring Angel Friends stamp set and Stacked Edges 1 Dies. Enjoying crafting for 3 years till now, I’ve never seen such unique and pretty stamps and dies like those I’m using today. I really had fun playing with them!

I used deep red and gold to express holiday color scheme. For this, you can use your own gold or glitter card stock, but I used gold glitter tapes to make a glitter card stock as shown in the picture.

To make zigzag patterned background, I used a chevron shape die included in Stacked Edges 1 Dies set. I first die cut a piece, and then cut again side by side, with some space between those two cuts to make negative diecut pieces in chevron shape.

You can control the width of negative diecuts simply by moving a die a little from side to side before cutting through on the paper. I made a little bit thicker negative cut with gold glitter one, and thinner cut with red one. Then I trimmed all the positive and negative cuts into 5.5 inch length to fit them into A2 sized card base.

I stamped cute Angel Friends stamp set on a copic friendly white cardstock using Memento black ink, then colored them with copic markers. You don’t have to choose specific colors for coloring these angels, just use any copic colors that you have in your stash.

I thought coloring is not a matter in these cards, you can also choose any types of coloring media that you like, including pencils, watercolors, other markers etc. I mostly used light colored copic markers here. For your interest, I used E21/E23/E25/E27, or E51/E53/E55/E57, or E11/E13/E15/E18 or YR7/YR4/Y17 in coloring hair of angels. Then, I cut them out using the Angel Friends Coordinating Dies.

For the first card, I adhered red and gold chevron cuts onto white cardbase, then foam mounted angels. To give more interest, I added some left-over pieces of Autumn Blossoms Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies, which I used in my other card featuring Autumn Blossoms Set. I chose sentiment “Merry and Bright” from Reindeer Friends Stamp Set. Final touch was adding Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix  here and there.

Then I made the second card in horizontal layout using the similar way as in the first, vertical one. But, this time, I used Metallic Gold Confetti Mix as embellishment.

We’re continuing on with our week of giveaways and today we are giving away a $30 Ellen Hutson gift certificate. It’s super easy all you have to do is leave a comment sharing which craft item(s) are on your wish list!
