12 Days of Christmas - Day 10 - Ornament Shaped Reindeer Card

Happy Friday! :o)

My second post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down, or follow a direct link here.

Welcome to 10th Day of my 12 Days of Christmas Series. I took a short break with sharing my series here with you (again). I had doctors' appointments and some tests to run and was too tired to write blog posts since Monday. 

Today I want to share with you this Ornament Shaped Reindeer Card.

 

To make this card, I was inspired with my cards that I shared on Monday here on my blog (here).

How I made the card...

First I die cut all parts from a white cardstock paper

I die cut an ornament three times. I used only frames, rest I left for other projects. I glued together frames (stacked frame die-cuts) and left them aside.

Then I die cut a reindeer three times, glued them together and left them aside.

Then I die cut a hanger two times and glued them together.

I used negative part of the die-cut ornament as a stencil. I traced the ornament shape twice on the white cardstock paper and cut them out. I used them to create a card base, but first I ink blended Distress Inks directly on one ornament shape panel. When I was satisfied with the color, I splattered the panel with a water, dabbed the surface with a paper towel and left the panel to dry on air. Then I mixed a white tempera color with a bit of water, splattered the panel and again left it dry on air.

After drying, all parts for my card were ready. I assembled the card. I glued two ornament shapes on the top and got the card base. Then I glued the frame on the card base, glued the stacked reindeer in the center of ornament shape glued the stacked hanger on the top of the ornament and my card was finished. I really like how my card turned out. :o)

12 Days of Christmas - Day 5 - Sweet Holidays Mini Circle Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

 

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I'm continuing with my 12 Days of Christmas Series. Today is 5th Day of day of my series.

Due to some important private stuff I had to finish, I took again a short break from sharing my series... This series is really not working as I planed, but I'm determined to finish sharing what I planned. :o)

By now, I only had giveaways and I Love Math Challenge #18 that I incorporated in this series. If you like, you can check all posts I shared by now here, or following these links:

• Day 1
• Day 2
• Day 3
• Day 4

There is still some time left to join the Day 4 Giveaway, as well as I Love Math Challenge #18 (Day 3). :o)

I'm continuing my 12 Days of Christmas Series with a card: Sweet Holidays Mini Circle Card. It was my spotlight project for Jane's Doodles on Tuesday, November 27th, 2020. I didn't share it here on my blog earlier because I wanted to share it in series I planned prior Christmas, but that also didn't work as I planned (I wrote about it here).

To make this card I used stamps from two SUPER CUTE Jane's Doodles stamp sets: 'Holiday Sweets' and 'Warm and Cozy'. ♥

How I made my card....

First I created a background panel. I randomly stamped candy canes and candies on a Kraft paper in watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink. Then I die cut a wonky stitched circle from the paper and heat embossed a sentiment in white on it.

Then I splattered the panel with a white tempera color mixed with a bit of water and left the panel to dry on air.

Next up was card base. I cut two circles from a white cardstock paper and glued them together on the top. Then I glued the panel on the circle card base.

Next up was an image. I stamped an adorable gingerbread man on a watercolor paper and colored him in watercolor technique with a Distress Ink Ground Espresso. After drying, I fussy cut the gingerbread man and traced edges with a black marker.

I stamped another gingerbread man on a white cardstock paper, colored him with a grey marker and fussy cut him, leaving white thin border around him. Then I glued the watercolored gingerbread man over the grey one.

You know I love dimension on my cards. I glued 3-D foam squares on the back of the gingerbread man and glued him on the card.

As a finishing touch I drew white highlights on the gingerbread man using a white gel pen and my card was finished. :o)

I love how my card turned out. :o)

Card measurements: d = 83 mm (3 1/4")

• Jane's Doodles 'Holiday Sweets' stamp set
