Hi there;

I am back with another post for this week for OCS. Christmas Eve has finally arrived and the children will all be in bed eagerly awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus. For my card today, I just had to use Santa Bob from the “Joys of the Seasons” release by High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

As I wanted the whole sheet of design paper to be seen, I only used a red card stock for the base of the card and no other patterned paper. I also used some of Heidi Swapp’s Minc accessories also.

Supplies used:

Ink: Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: X-Press It Blending Cardstock; DP is from my stash
Copic Markers : Skin: E0000 – Floral White, E000 – Pale Fruit Pink, R20 – Blush; Hair – Doll: E30 – Bisque, E31 – Brick Beige, Santa Bob – C00 – Cool Gray No. 00; Santa Suit: – R46 – eStrong Rd, T8 – Toner Gray No. 8, T7 – Toner Gray No. 7; G46 – Mistletoe; Bag: E41 – Pearl White, E40 – Brick White; Chimney – R89 – Dark Red, R59 – Cardinal; Other Copic Colours Y28 – Lionet Gold, R83 – Mist Rose, G00 – Jade Green, B91 – Pale Grayish Blue, BG70 – SantOcean Mist

Hope you enjoyed the card and as Clement Clarke Moore said in his classic Christmas poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas” — “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight.”

Do have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the time spent with your loved ones.

Cascade Card Tutorial

November 24, 2015Christmas/Winter, One Crazy StamperChristmas Wonderland (Carta Bella), copic markers, Penquin Love (High Hopes Rubber Stamps)Sue

Tuesday is here again and for today’s post I have a Cascade Card Tutorial. I originally saw this tutorial on Beccy’s Place. It is a rather unique shape and does make a rather nice card if you are looking for something different.

Outside of Card

Inside of Card

Supplies used:

Stamps: Penquin Love, We Wish You a Merry Christams (High Hopes Rubber Stamps)
Ink: Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: X-Press It Blending Cardstock, DP — Christmas Wonderland
Copic Markers: YR07 – Cadmium Orange, YR04 – Chrome Orange, C9 – Cool Gray No. 9, C7 – Cool Gray No. 7, G46 – Mistletoe, B0000 – Pale Celestine, B000 – Pale Porcelain Blue, R27 – Cadmium Red, R29 – Lipstick Red, R46 – Strong Red
Atyou Spica Glitter Pens: 00 – Clear
Flower Soft: Polar White
Embellishments: Forever in Time – Crystal Gems

Step 1: Take a 12″ x 12″ piece of cardstock and cut it to be 6″ x 12″.

Step 2: Starting from the left hand side and on the long side score at 2″, 4″, 8″ and 10″. Fold in along the scorelines as mountain, valley, valley and mountain.

Step 3: Measure 2″ down from the top left hand corner of the card. Draw a line from the mark that was just made to the top of the 4″ score line. Do the same on the right hand side using the top of the 8″ scoreline. Cut along both of these lines. Keep both pieces.

Step 4: Design Paper Preparation. Whatever design paper you decide to use, cut 1 piece to be 5 3/4″ x 3 3/4″. This is to be used for the inside middle part of the card. Cut 4 pieces of paper to be 5 3/4″ x 1 3/4″. Use the triangular off cuts to get the correct angles for the strips and make sure that you trim the panels in the right direction

The image Penquin Love, was coloured with Copic Markers. Polar White Flower Soft was used on the trim of the hats. The image was then fuzzy cut and mounted to the middle panel. The sentiment was added to the left front panel. Faux Snow was also added to the middle panel.

For any supplies that you have on your wish list for Santa, do check out Lora’s OCS store for some amazing products and prices.

Until next time, keep crafting.

Hugs,

Seasons Greetings
