Hello! You’ve reached the final post of our World Card Making Day celebration, and we’re getting merry here with design team member Mindy Eggen! Let’s take a look at her inspiration and your final challenge of the day!
………………………………..
Welcome, everyone! Happy World Card Making Day! I think it’s so fun to celebrate such an amazing hobby that can bring so much joy to people.
My card today features a set from the Hero Arts winter release called Stocking Bouquet and I created using this sketch from the fall issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine:
I’ve really been enjoying using sketches to create my cards as they make a great starting off point.
Stockings always make me happy at Christmas, so I chose the stocking image from the Stocking Bouquet stamp set. I stamped the image 3 times and changed up the colors on each one.
When using the sketch, I flipped the design to be able to fit all of my stockings onto the card front. Nothing screams Christmas like a good ol’ candy cane stripe. Lawn Fawn’s new Let It Shine paper pack was a perfect match!
To bring a little sparkle to the card without causing a distraction from the simplicity of it, I added thin strips of Lawn Fawn’s glitter cardstock.
Each stocking was attached with foam squares to add a little dimension to the card front. The bold black sentiment that I heat embossed draws your eye right to the center of the card.
Now it’s your turn! Use this sketch to create a card, and have fun!
