Christmas Scotties - AHSC #595

 Here I am once again with my version of the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #595.  This sketch was created by Michelle and digitized by Brandi.  


HERE'S MY CARD: 
Since I'm trying to get my stash of Christmas cards built up I'm doing a Christmas theme for my focal point.


T
his was such a fun card to make. Nothing in this card is current. The stamp set and designer papers are all part of my stash that I'm trying to use. I love the Christmas Scottie stamp set and coordinating punch, and probably will never part with them, as this is one of my most loved Christmas bundles.


As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I'm obligated in my agreement to use what's called the "Angel Policy" when creating cards. It's really easy to add the Stampin' Up! logo and my brand when using light coloured cardstock, however when using black as a cardbase, or some other dark neutral, it's almost impossible to see this information.

To resolve this problem I came up with a simple solution, that not only looks good, but is easy to do.


Voila, problem solved by simply stamping on a neutral cardstock and cutting out a tag or die that holds the information.  I usually add my small  Stampin' Up! logo stamp as well, so that it conforms with the Angel Policy.  

Supplies:

Stamp Sets:
  • Christmas Scottie #159740 (R) 
  • Christmas Gleaming #150464 (R) for sentiment

Ink:
  • Momento Tuxedo Black ink
  • Real Red
  • Old Olive 
Card Stock and DSP:
  • Basic Black 81/2" x 5 1/4" scored at 4 1/4" for the card base. A 1" x 5" strip for the bottom of the card front.
  • Garden Green mat for card front 5 1/4" x 4", a 3" x 3" piece for stitched circle piece for focal.
  • Plaid DSP 2 3/4" x 5" for front mat
  • Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4" mat for inside card
  • Scrap of Daffodil Delight for Street Light
Accessories:
  • Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels #146924
  • 3" Stitched Circle Die 
  • Basic 3-D Embossing Folder Cross Hatch pattern (R) 
  • Dimensionals 

Well that's it for this sketch challenge.  I hope you enjoyed this card and that it inspired you to try a sketch challenge or create some Christmas cards using this stamp set.  Please leave me a comment, I love to hear from you. 

Happy Stamping!
