I was very surprised when I found out that the design team of the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog will give us every day during the december month a christmas card/ happy new year card as an inspiration.
I decided that I will play along and make as many cards as possible, inspired by the cards that are posted each day.
8 cards I've made so far and I am working on 2 more. Nice to mention that I have not spend one eurocent on all these cards. I made everything from my stash.
Great thanks to the design team for the inspiration!
Overview of my christmas cards
Backing pretty die cut designs with pretty paper:
I used my alphabet dies.
Making a shaker element:
My first shaker card :)
Making a mixed media background:
Embossed en inked background. Decorated with stamp, die cut and wood veneer.
Using a sketch:
Making an all white card:
Not all white....
Ink blending inspiration:
I used Ranger distress ink colors tattered rose and faded jeans
Washi tape :
This one still needs a sentiment
Adding hand-stitching and sequins:
I made the snowman with 3 die cut circles and draw the hat and cut it out. But let's be honest: my inspiration came from Melissa Philips' card that you can find HERE
Hopefully I will be back soon with another set of cards.
Have a nice day,
Coby
Coby! These are fantastic! I'm so happy to hear that we inspired you to try out some new techniques and use up your stash in the process. I really like the mix of styles you have here - do you have more to share?!?!? We would love to see them. :-)
