2 sketches final card

I really wanted to participate in the 2 sketches challenge since we are sponsoring this week and today is the last day. (FYI the prize this week is a complete collection of our Nativity set and coordinating sentiments AND a full pack of Sakura pens. Total value for this prize package is over $60.00!)

I started my card with the idea that I wanted to use a big glittery silver snowflake. I have been in a huge snowflake mood lately (stop back tomorrow for the blog hop and you will see just how many snowflakes I have used on my cards!) All the snowflakes are spellbinder dies. I used a mix of different flakes from 3 different sets. I used our 4" wide Stampers Magic tape http://starvingartistamps.com/stampers_magic_tape.html

To cover a piece of cardstock. Then ran that thru my cuttlebug with assorted snowflake dies. I had to use a couple of sheets of extra cardstock to shim it up and make it cut all the way thru but as you can see it worked.

Once I had them all cut I mounted each layer using 1/8" thick POP tape.

I learned with my first snowflake its better to attach the parts together before you glitter it as it makes a stronger bond. So I layered each layer peeling off the liner so that each part was sticky. Once the whole thing was assembled and each layer was sticky. I dumped a container of ultra-fine silver glitter on it. I used a brush to dust off all the excess from the nooks and crannies.

I also made the glitter stripes using Stampers Magic Tape in 1/8" wide. I just ran the double sided tape where I wanted it and then added the silver glitter, again brushing off the excess. I love using the tapes for glitter stripes. Its much cleaner than using glues and the layer is even and not lumpy.

Holiday Nativity Tag

Hallelujah! I made a tag! :)

This is an often neglected part of my holiday preparations, for some reason, so I was determined to make tags this year. This is a Nativitag! :)

I wanted a light background for the little scene, but the white was too stark against my pretty metallic paper, so I went with a magazine page instead and I think it works nicely.

It's my fave reanimated magazine - Food and Wine - because of the matte paper it's printed on.

I need to re-subscribe to a few magazines - my supply has dwindled! Hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Bearing Gifts

For this card I thought I'd emphasize the gifts, not the givers, so I colored the wise men from O Holy Night in greys, and then glittered the gifts. They're much sparklier and nice in real life! :)

Rejoice!

I love the O Holy Night set!!! The fonts in the sentiment set are some of my faves too.

You can't really tell in this photo but this is an acetate snowglobe card. I used my Big Shot to cut the cardstock and acetate. I colored the image with Copics and with a gold Pentel rollerball pen.

The baby Jesus is mounted on top of the acetate with dimensionals.

REJOICE!!

and you shall call his name Jesus...
