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)

Sweet Holidays Card (CASology Week #357)

Hi everyone! :o)

On Tuesday, December 3rd, 2019, a new challenge started at CASology. This fortnight's cue word is Gingerbread. :o)

I didn't have time to write blog post on time, but there's still time to join the challenge, which ends on Monday, December 16th, 9 AM, CDT (UTC -6). 


And here is my take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), Sweet Holidays Card. :o)

Design defined: 

Adding dimension gives CAS card special interest.

How I made my card....

To make my card I used super cute Gingerbread Man stamp from Jane's Doodles 'Gingerbread' stamp set and free Impact Label Font.

I stamped the Gingerbread Man on a watercolor paper and colored him in watercolor technique using only one color: a Distress Ink Ground Espresso. After drying, I fussy cut the Gingerbread Man, traced edges with a black marker and softened the image with a stylus ball on a soft working mat. This curled the image a bit.

I stamped another Gingerbread Man on a white cardstock paper, colored him with a black marker, fussy cut him, leaving thin white border around him, and glued watercolored Gingerbread Man over him. Lastly, I drew black and white details on Gingerbread Man's scarf, drew highlights and the image was finished.

Then I wrote a sentiment 'Sweet Holidays' on my computer, printed it out on the white cardstock paper, cut it out, colored edges with a black marker and got a lovely label, as if I had label maker. :o)

Next up was a background. I splattered a Kraft paper cardstock panel with a white tempera color mixed with a bit of water using a paint brush. I left the panel to dry on air.

I love dimension on my cards. I wanted to pop up the panel, but I wanted to save on a 3-D foam, so I used the white cardstock instead. I cut two white panels, same size as the Kraft panel, and glued them and Krat panel together (stacked them). Then I glued stacked panels on a white top folded card base. I glued another white panel inside the card to make the card sturdier.

Lastly, I glued 3-D foam squares on the back of the image and sentiment labels, glued them on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 80 mm x 121 mm (3 1/8" x 4 3/4")
