Holly Leaves Joy Christmas Card

Here are traditional Christmas colors mixed in with a trendy card style.

Sentiment:  Joy

For the holly leaves, I layered shades of Copic markers.  Then, I fussy cut one side of the leaves to create a dimensional card border.  Adding the Joy sentiment on vellum with a few adhesive gems finished out the look.

My quick video tutorial shows the process.

Soft vellum orchids thank you card.

Here is a floral card with a soft look to the orchid flowers.

 

Sentiment:  Thanks 

I used a layer of vellum along with a background of the same florals.  To get the softness, I colored the opposite side of the vellum stamping using Copics.  Then I added the vellum to the background florals.  To get the duplicate floral look, I used the Misti stamp positioning tool.

My quick video tutorial shows the process.

MCT products used:

Open If You Dare
Stitched Belly Band Dies

For this project, I die-cut assorted patterned paper for the belly band and for the tombstone.  I adhered the bat band around the chewing gum box.  Then I added a solid shadow layer to the die-cuts and also added the fun die-cut EEK sentiment.  With a little bit of twine, I tied it all together.
