Clear Christmas

Aly — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:01:44 +0000

This card was very much an "experimental" card for me. I wanted to try out the stencils in addition to a "window sheet" card. Instead of doing 2 different cards to play with these two ideas, I combined them into one! Here's what I came up with:

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

The Bone Folder method of folding doesn't quite do it when you're folding a window sheet – instead, try the scoring blade attachment in your paper cutter for a nice crisp, easy fold!
When stenciling, try applying a little bit of Dotto to the back of your stencil so that it doesn't slide while you're applying the ink. Be sure to remove the dotto dots from both the stencil and the cardstock when you're done.
I used Craft Ink for the brown base of the ornament, and Shimmer Paint for the swirly accent! Sponge Daubers were my applicator choice and worked like a charm. Be sure to let each layer dry thoroughly before applying the next layer!!
The greeting is a rub on – a fabulous way to get the sentiment you want on a surface other than paper (of course, you can use it on paper as well!)

WHAT TO ORDER:

Vintage Ornaments I Decor Stencil (117580), Merry & Bright RubOns (116801), Platinum Shimmer Paint (116807), Soft Suede Cardstock (115318), Medium Window Sheets (114323), Whisper White Satin Ribbon (114616) and Dotto (103305)

I just adored this cute little Dasher on the "Under $10" page of the catalog, and had to add him to my collection! Isn't he darling!? Purchase this stamp individually today for just $8.95.
