A Merry & Bright Card by Jessica!

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Good morning! Jess here with a card for our current Color Inspiration challenge!

I decided to pull pretty literally from the inspiration photo and palette for my clean and simple holiday card! First I die-cut the Forest Border from Lawn Fawn Raspberry, Sunflower, Cilantro, Mermaid, and Sugarplum cardstock! I alternated them and adhered them together to create a happy forest of rainbow trees! I adhered them to a white card base and then added a stitched white frame over trees to hide the cut edges!

Next I stamped the sentiment from Merry Messages onto black cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder. I trimmed it down to a label and adhered it at an angle on the panel. And, of course, I can’t leave a card with no sparkles so I added a little liquid glue to the tops of the trees and sprinkled them with Chunky and Prisma glitter to finish the card!

And that’s it! You have one more weekend to get crafty and I can’t wait to see what you create! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Franci’s Festive Rainbow Card

- Nancy Krueger 4 Comments

Hi there and happy Wednesday! Franci here with you today with a Really Rainbow Christmas festive card for our Color Inspiration Challenge!

To create my card I die cut some Stitched Snowflakes out of the new Really Rainbow Christmas paper, then I also die cut a Dotted Rectangle and a card base out of white cardstock. I sponged my card base with distress inks to create a nice dark background and glued my dotted panel on using Lawn Fawn Glue Tube.

I die cut all the Finley’s ABCs alphabet letters I needed to create my rainbow-colored Merry out of white cardstock, so I could color them with different shades of Distress inks. I added them to my card with foam adhesive then I stamped my sentiment from the Holiday Helpers set. Then I added the snowflakes with foam adhesive too and I trimmed the excess to clean up my card.

Finally, I added some sparkling clear sequins and lots of sparkle on my Merry sentiment with the Wink of Stella clear brush to complete my bright, clean and simple design!

Hope you like my project and thank you so much for stopping by today!
Have a lovely day

Here are the Copic marker colors that Mayra used to color the images for her lovely Christmas scene!
