7 weeks of Christmas part 2

Hi Stashers.  Today I would like to share with you my second video in the 7 weeks of Christmas series.

Featuring the Card front builder thinlit die set - 144674 and the Hearts come home stamp set - 145416 this card is super easy to make and doesn't take that much time either.

I love elegant eggplant, so that is the main colour that I have used and I think that Tranquil tide is the perfect green for projects like this.

Please check back tomorrow for another video in the series.

Take care every one and thank you for stopping by.

Hi Crafters

I love to challenge myself either by making something I have never tried before or trying to make something that is completely outside of my comfort zone (I learned to appreciate pattern this way).

This time I wanted to make a pop up card, but I also wanted to make a block step card.  I've not tried either technique properly before.  Well I did say that I like a challenge lol

 
I started by using two sheets of Tranquil tide to create my card blank.  The card measures 8x6 inches.

I cheated a bit with the box stepper part as I used a pre-bought blank.  I WILL learn how to make them from scratch, but I needed to make this card faster than I would be able to work it out (I rarely work from tutorials).  I used a piece of Cherry Cobbler to cover the front of the block step portion.

Through out the card I have used Very vanilla, Cherry cobbler and Tranquil tide.  I used a sentiment and the trees from the Hearts come home stamp set inside the card.

The front of the card was a lot of fun to make.  I used the Hearts come home stamp set again to stamp Santa and "Joy to the world" and a few sparkles around the reindeer.  I couldn't resist adding some AB bling in a trail behind the sleigh.

I finished off the card by adding die cut trees and a deer from the Card front builder thinlit dies set

This was a fun card to make and I am pretty sure that I will be making another one soon.

I'm going to head off as I have another idea for a card.

Thanks for stopping by
