Morning All!
While I had the supplies out on my desk from an earlier card, I came across a large ephemera piece in the Merry Days pack that got my imagination going.
I wasn’t sure how else I’d use this ephemera, but the idea came to me to make a card in the style of festive mail.
Paper: Crate Paper – Bundled Up (r), Crate Paper – Merry Days (r)
Ephemera: Crate Paper – Merry Days (r)
Stamps: Papertrey Ink – Postmarks (r)
Die: Papertrey Ink – Postmarks (r), Magnolia – ZigZag and Scallop Lace Border (r)
Other: Stickles
I started out by covering my card base with the B-side of the Tinsel paper from Merry Days. I added a striped border with an off cut of paper from Bundled Up, but before I stick it down I cut a white border with an old Magnolia border die.
Then I created the festive postage stamp with the Postmarks set from Papertrey Ink, adding the festive cancellation detail from the same set directly to the card base.
Finally, I glued some scrap cardstock to the back of the main ephemera image to give it some pop.
Once everything was in place, I added some Platinum Stickles to the snowflake for a little festive sparkle.
And that’s it!
Until next time, happy crafting!
