Home For the Holidays

The Stamp of the Month for October is S1410 Home for the Holidays.

All of the images above in black have coordinated die-cuts on the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge which make using the stamps super easy!

The following card was made for a Close To My Heart Consultant Swap using Home For The Holidays, Snowhaven Paper pack, CTMH Cricut Artfully Sent and Art Philosophy Cartridges:

I used a White Daisy cardbase and cut the bottom layer with snowflakes using the Shift Sleeve Function on page 49 of Artfully Sent. I trimmed off the unneeded part of the cut. I cut two paper paper ribbons (doodling with LePen on the cardstock ribbon) and one using the Teal Glitter Trim and embellished with two Silver Sequins. 

For the middle piece I stamped using Glacier Pigment Ink on the shape cut from CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy page 27 at 2 1/2". For the top piece I stamped onto a scrap piece then quickly applied clear embossing powder and heat embossed. Using the R11 ShinHan Alcohol Marker I easily colored in the letters of "believing" because the embossed edge of the embossing kept the ink inside the lines. 

To pop-up both layers, I used the Thin 3-D Foam Tape to keep the card from being too bulky.

The scalloped "Let It Snow" liner is also in Artfully Sent on Page 49, Shift Scene Function, using Glacier cardstock that was cut at 7 1/2" Real Dial Size since it was originally designed for a 5" x 7" card. I backed the sentiment with Lagoon cardstock.

Tomorrow I will show some of the cards I received from the swap.
