Morning!
Well today’s projects are definitely the poster child for much of my Christmas cardmaking as I finally succumbed and purchased the Home for the Holidays Stacks and coordinating Card Stacks Base dies that Concord & 9th released last year.
And here are the results of their first outing back in October:
Stamps: Concord & 9th – Home for the Holidays
Dies: Concord & 9th – Home for the Holidays Stacks, Concord & 9th – Card Stacks Base
Stencil: Simon Says Stamp – Falling Snow
These two cards were my test run for my larger Christmas card production plans and of course, with the use of texture paste and loose glitter, certain steps had to be done on separate evenings.
So I started out by cutting the bases and stencilling the falling snow on with texture paste, and adding Rock Candy glitter to the paste before it dried.
Then I cut all the elements I needed, mainly in my Sidekick, so they’d be ready to assemble.
Once the houses were assembled, I added vellum behind the windows.
I arranged the houses on the snowdrifts and added the lampposts and trees into the mix.
Then I added a dusting of more Rock Candy glitter, and once dry a stamped sentiment from the coordinating stamp set.
I still love the Papercute font (which looks to have been used for the Let it Snow sentiment) and was included in the Beautiful Mess app I used to use almost a decade ago – I would love it if they incorporated it on Instagram… but until then, will just have to admire it in clear stamp form!
Until next time, happy crafting!
