Welcome to the newest Make My Monday bi-weekly challenge #267. Our host, Caz, chose A Quickie CAS Christmas Card for the theme. I was able to combine this card with the Creative Crafters Challenge #95, where the theme is always Anything Goes, which is also going live today.
When you finish here, please visit both challenge sites to see what the rest of the very talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to both galleries. We look forward to seeing your creations there!
Here’s my CAS Christmas card:
This gorgeous paper, the Traditions of Christmas 12″ by 12″ Specialty DSP, from the September – December mini catalog completely carries this card. It’s absolutely stunning! I paired it with Old olive and Real Red cardstock and a greeting from the Peace on Earth stamp set.
What I Did:
- The Old Olive base measures 8-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
- I trimmed the Real Red mat to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
- The DSP measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- Don’t forget to trim a coordinating piece of DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- I also punched a 1-inch circle from DSP and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- After trimming the red cardstock, I cropped the circle from the center of the mat using the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes set
- I stamped the outside and inside sentiments using Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock
- I cropped the outside sentiment using the next smaller circle die from Stylish Shapes
- The inside piece of cardstock measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- The only place I used dimensionals was behind the white circle Merry Christmas sentiment
- For the other pieces of the card, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere them together
- I adhered the red cardstock to the base
- Next, I wrapped a piece of Real Red ribbon around the front of the card and tied it in a square knot
- Then I adhered the DSP to the red cardstock, and anchored the ribbon knot in place with a mini-glue dot
- Adhere the larger red circle with multipurpose liquid glue and slide it under the ribbon
- Place the dimensionals on the back of the white circle making sure they straddle the ribbon, and adhere
- Add five red enamel dots to the front sentiment
- Adhere the inside white cardstock to the base of the card
With that, I’d finished this CAS coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
