Good morning! I've got a few more Christmas projects to share, but hard to believe that Christmas is less than 2 weeks away already! I'm using a new stamp and die set from a recent Simon Says Stamp release that I hadn't had a chance to put to use yet! I have so many fond memories of taking my daughters to watch the nutcracker when they were younger - so when I saw this stamp set, I knew I had to create a card or two with it! I also recently ordered some beautiful pattern paper, and realized they would be a perfect pairing!
I started off by stamping in black and clear heat embossing the images from Nutcracker Christmas on panels of white cardstock. I stamped them slightly off the corner of the A2 panels, the used Basic Circles die to cut around to create partial circles. I cut another size up from Black cardstock to create a mat behind the image, and used a pink Copic marker to add just a *touch* of pink to their cheeks. I used a couple panels of pattern paper from the pretty Ink Drops Festive 6x6 paper pad, trimming slightly smaller than my cardfront, and offsetting to leave a small white border around two of the edges. I popped my partial circles up with foam adhesive, added stamped and die cut sentiments, and finished off with some Dazzling gems in Mandarin and Sprout for some sparkle! Here is a closer look at these finished cards:
