Happy Seasonal, Sentiment Saturday!
Welcome to day 9 of the 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways. The days of inspiration and giveaways are just flying by. This time next week we will have started the countdown to the Christmas in July New Release!
Today I thought it would be nice to let those sentiment stamps shine and take the stage for our Christmas cards and here is what I came up with.
I started by selecting my sentiment from Christmas Sentiments, Holly Jolly. And because I chose this one I selected the holly leaves and berries from Winter Foliage.
And here are the 3 cards I came up with using this combination.
When I know I want to make more than one card with a product or a combination of products like this, I always sketch out some layouts. That way the creativity flows better. Let's have a closer look at each of them.
One thing I need to start doing, is using more coloured card in my crafting. Even if it's just a little bit like this for a sentiment. I think this just helps draw the focus to the sentiment and adds impact to a CAS card.
Next I wanted a repeating sentiment. I've done this before with the Let it Snow sentiment from this set. You can see the sample on the Christmas Sentiments product page.
Once I stamped the sentiment I created my own stamped patterned paper look with the holly and it was quick and fun to do.
Lastly I wanted to create a fun focal point with the holly and berries, so I came up with this fun flower style arrangement to add impact to the sentiment.
I started by stamping the holly leaves, 5 of each colour, plus some berries and fussy cut them out. I set these aside until it was time to assemble next to my sentiment once stamped, which I stamped to a thinner panel of white card. This layer again gives a little extra interest to a CAS card.
If you fancy watching me make these 3 cards in less than a minute, real time 30 mins. Then head on over to YouTube HERE.
Before I go, the giveaway.
