Inspiration Thursday 50-2019

I love the inspiration board for this month because I adore plaid.

I used the same stack from DCWV called Christmas Plaid that I used yesterday.

One of the pages in the pack had a page of 9 panels and one of them fit this category with both plaid and metallic gold, so I mounted it on a kraft card base.  I jazzed it up by adding a lot of flat gold sequins in the white area and placing a twine bow on the picture of a bow.  Once again quick and easy - Denise

Sketch Wednesday 50-2019

Here is the sketch we are using this month

I used paper from a DCWV stack to make my card.

I fussy cut one of the panels in the stack then mounted it on another pattern from the pack and used red cardstock punched with a Martha Stewart punch for the bottom.  The cardinal was also from the pack and I fussy cut him and popped him up on a 3-D Zot.  Using my pretty papers can make a card go together quickly. - Denise

Technique Tuesday 50-2019

Our technique for this month is an ornament card and ways to do this can be found here.

I had a big snowflake die that I used to cut twice using a thick silver cardstock.  I glued those back to back so that the silver was on the front and back and looped some metallic thread through one of the openings.  Using patterned paper from Echo Park called Hello Winter, I cut a mat and a strip for the front.  I used another paper from the pack and stamped the sentiment embossing it in platinum.  I glued the strip only at the ends and slid the ornament down catching the prongs that stick out to keep it in place.  That way the ornament will slip right out to use.  Below is one I started, but it turned out so big, that I decided I would just put the greeting on the back as the card and not mount it to a card base.  Enjoy - Denise
