Welcome and thanks for dropping by. I'm continuing my quest to complete 50 Christmas cards before the end of September, and can happily say the end is very close indeed. I began two weeks ago and have been using a mix of products from the Mini Catalogue - September to December 2025.
So after making these many cards you could speculate I'd have a lot of bit's and pieces of cardstock and paper left over, and you'd be 100 percent correct.
One of the papers that I used a lot was the North Pole Delivery 12 x 12 designer series paper and ephemera. I thought this would be a perfect design mix to use for this week's sketch by Atlantic Hearts.
Here's this week's sketch challenge from Atlantic Hearts #646:
This card design utilizes strips of paper in a variety of sizes from 1/4", 1/2", 3/4" and 1" in width. The paper strips can go in any direction as long as the whole sheet is filled, right down to the most fiddle corners. The strips are glued on and overlap the edges of the mat, and then are cut off as sections of the card are completed. The strips can be laid down in any direction, but they must but up against one another and there can't be any gaps. The end product usually looks like a quilt design.
Here's My Card:
Supplies:
Stamps & Dies:
- Traditional Labels Die and Stamp Bundle #165865
Cardstock and DSP:
- Garden Green mat 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" for front mat. The decorative mat was cut from the center of this layer using the Colourful Contour dies.
- Petal Pink 4" x 5 1/4" mat for front layer and 2" x 3 3/8" mat for sentiment layer
- Strips of Poppy Parade and Petal Pink for quilted pattern 1/2" and 3/4" bands
- North Pole Delivery #165837 12 x 12 DSP cut into 1/2", 3/4" strips
- Poppy Parade
Accessories:
- Delightful Decorative Dots #165915
I hope you enjoyed today's stamping challenge card. If you've never tried one of these cards before they are a lot of fun and a great way to use up those paper scraps that are always left over.
HAPPY STAMPING!
