Hello SCT friends! Welcome to Day 9 of our 12 Days of Holiday Giving! While it would be fun to have 9 ladies dancing, it’s early on a Sunday morning so instead, we have Cathy Z joining us and a fabulous prize package for you! Ready to see what we have in store for you today? Let’s get started…
“On the 9th day of SCT’s 12 Days of Holiday Giving, SCT shared with me….a beautiful card and tag set from our Art Director, Cathy Z along with a fantastic prize package from our friends at American Crafts and My Favourite Things Stamps!”
“Hello and happy holidays, dear SCT Blog Readers! Cathy Z here and I have two very clean and simple projects to show you, a card and a coordinating gift tag.
The idea started with a simple wreath that was not actually part of a holiday stamp set, but rather, the Wreath Greetings set from Simon Says Stamp. First I cut a card panel from some Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock at 3-7/8 x 5-1/8, which will give you a nice margin of space on your card base. Next, I stamped the card wreath using Memento Tuxedo black and colored it in using just one Copic marker, YG95 Pale Olive. I stamped berries all around the wreath using the small berry stamp from the set and some of Gina K. Designs Red Velvet ink.
I stamped the word PEACE from my CZ Design Ornamental stamp set with Versamark ink, then added some Gilded embossing powder from Brutus Monroe. I added a simple Cheater’s Bow to the front of the card (learn how to do this by watching this video from Gina K. of Gina K. Designs), put some Fun Foam on the back, leaving the area around the bow uncovered, and adhered it to my A2 sized Red Velvet cardstock base using some liquid glue.
It’s such a simple design, but I think it’s very do-able and I love all the white space! Plus, it was easy to make a coordinating gift tag with the same supplies!
I love my Hero Arts Nesting Tag Dies set around the holidays! I used the same Red Velvet cardstock and stamped my wreath bleeding off the bottom edge of the card, then embossed with the same gold powder for a simple, elegant design. The “From All of Us” sentiment is from the Tiny Words Christmas stamp set.
Thanks, everyone!” ~ Cathy Zielske
