Hi crafty friends!
It’s Jarle here and I am back with my weekly project for Sunny Studio Stamps.
Today, I am featuring the Holiday Greetings on 2 mini square cards.
I really wanted the sentiments to be the star of the show, so I kept the backgrounds really simple.
I started by die cutting 2 square frames from the Scalloped Square 1 Large dies out of regular white cardstock.
After that, I trimmed down 2 square panels of Bristol Smooth cardstock.
I did some stenciling with the Forest Trees stencils on both cards.
For the pink trees I used Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry Oxide inks.
For the green trees, I used Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover and Pine Needles.
I ink blended the sky with Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac on the card with the green trees and Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers on the card with the pink trees.
I splattered on some Copic White for a little bit of texture and that ‘wintery’ look.
I stamped the Holiday Greetings with the same Oxide colors, so Spun Sugar for ‘Merry Christmas’ and Peacock Feathers for ‘Happy Holidays’.
I did stamp Merry Christmas a few times because Spun Sugar is such a light ink.
I adhered both sentiments on the card with liquid glue.
For the wreath, I used the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-On dies and I added jewels from the Bright Jewels mix. (I LOVE all these colors!)
The wreath was adhered with liquid glue as well.
I did mount the ink blended card panel with foam tape onto the Scalloped Square. A card always needs some dimension, right?
After that, I adhered both cards on a white square card base.
These cards were very simple to make, so I think they are easy to mass produce.
Square cards are always a little bit extra special in my opinion… I love that the sentiment really stands out.
The sentiment really is the most important thing on a card, isn’t it?
I hope you like this inspiration and I will be back next week with a new project!
Have a beautiful day!
Love, Jarle x
