We have been counting down the days until we can share over $2500 worth of prizes with all of you around the world. Are you ready to hum our favourite song at this time of year….let’s do it together…
“On the 1st day of SCT’s 12 days of holiday giving, SCT shared with me….a beautiful card from designer Sheri Reguly and a fabulous prize package from Janome Canada, Scrapbook.com and SCT!”
“Hello SCT friends! It’s Sheri Reguly with you today. Thrilled that you’re joining us for Day 1 of our 12 Days Of Holiday Giving event! I have a festive holiday card to share with you featuring two of my very favorite things in the world of cardmaking/scrapbooking…lots of layering, and the color pink!
I turned to Crate Paper’s, Merry Days Collection, for this particular card. I love the beautiful color palette, fun patterns and wide assortment of embellishments to choose from.
After creating the base of my card, I wrapped two widths of white twine across the centre of the strip of the wood grain patterned paper. I then tucked and adhered the die cut doily beneath the twine.
Next, I applied thick adhesive foam to the back of the red tag to create lots of dimension. After adhering the tag to the centre of my card, I topped it with several fun accent pieces from my favorite ephemera pack, including an additional tag, snowflake, and the most adorable pair of pink ice skates.
A sentiment sticker was then added to the bottom right corner of the tag using adhesive foam, and embellished with a pair of puffy sticker mittens. Additional puffy stickers were then added to the ice skates.
A threaded bow, a selection of enamel dots, and a touch of gold added the perfect finishing touches to my card.
Thank you so much for joining us today. Wishing you, and yours, a very happy holiday season! ~ Sheri Reguly
