This is the second project I created for the Creative Crew gallery on Splitcoast Stampers. You can see my original post with the challenges details here.
The second challenge was to do an easel card using the Letters to Santa DSP or color scheme. I had some Designer papers leftover from a class as well as some matching sticky die-cuts, so I pulled them out to make this project.
I thought the Something for Christmas stamp would make a nice focal point, so I inked it with markers, stamped in on Whisper White cardstock and matted the image with a Early Espresso piece of cardstock punched with the Scallop Trim border and corner punches. I had some Cherry Cobbler polka dot ribbon I wanted to use on the card, so I decided to hang my image from it and add a vintage brad (the whitewashed ones are my favorite because they look like snowflakes!) in the center of the bow.
At the bottom of the card, I added a chipboard ornament that was die-cut using the Stocking Accents die. Covering a piece of chipboard with Designer paper is super easy when using the Big Shot and the dies, because you simply die-cut the same image out of paper and chipboard and glue the paper in place. It fits perfectly and no sanding is required! The center of the ornament was created using circle punches and the star image from the Delightful Decorations stamp set. I added a ribbon bow on the ornament and a piece of matching taffeta ribbon along the edge of the top part of the card, to make it look like the ornament was hung in place.
