Hello!
Well, we’ve reached the end of my Christmas countdown for this year…
And I’m sharing one last favourite design to finish this series off!
Paper: Pebbles – Cozy & Bright (r), Pebbles – Merry Little Christmas (r), Pink Paislee – Auburn Lane (r), Simple Stories – Merry & Bright (r)
Dies: Lil’ Inker Designs – Silly Stitched (r), MFT – Joy, Love, and Peace
Possibly the most Yorkshire style crafting involved for this bundled of 5 cards, because I had just millimetre clearance left to use the lovely last pieces of Snow Day paper from Pebbles on some cards. I had to find a die that would cut around the word die but still leave me enough paper to manage as many whole panel cuts as possible. And I only just managed 4 panels – how’s that for frugal crafting Yorkshire style!
I also had only limited amounts of the woodgrain paper left, so thankfully was able to puzzle pieces in behind the words of the MFT die.
It all looks seamless, which is great, but behind the scenes there was a lot of measuring twice and hoping for the best! lol
Sadly things were less matchy-matchy when it came to the diagonal stripes in the background, some rotating of paper required (hence different directions of the stripes) and I even delved into some old MME papers for the pink/red/white stripes.
But I couldn’t see myself using anything but red/white stripes to mount these panels on.
And again, no need for 3D foam tape, I just used lots of strips/scraps of cardstock from the past few weeks to layer up the die-cut panel over the woodgrain for a little dimension.
It just remains for me to say, thank you for joining me on this year’s Christmas countdown – over 60 cards made and hoping the card tin is stocked with a good few extra cards ready for Christmas 2022. 😉
Until next time, happy festive crafting, and it just remains for me to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
