12 Days of Christmas - Day 8 - Sretan Božić Card

Hi everyone! :o)

Welcome to 8th Day of my 12 Days of Christmas Series.

Today I want to share with you this Sretan Božić Card. 

To make this card, I CASEd (copied and shared everything) my own card that I shared couple days ago here on my blog (here). I went with same design, layout, color scheme, used same techniques and stamp sets, I just went with some different stamped images and a different sentiment. :o)

Sretan Božić is a Croatian sentiment and it means Merry Christmas. :o)

For my card I used stamps from several Jane's Doodles stamp sets:

• 'Sretan Božić' stamp set (a sentiment)
• 'Winter Icons' stamp set (poinsettia)
• Snowflakes are from various sets:
• 'Winter Village' stamp set
• 'Snow Globe' stamp set 
• 'Driving Home For Christmas' stamp set

How I made my card....

First I created a background panel. I randomly stamped images on a Kraft paper panel in watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink.

Then I splattered the panel with a white tempera color mixed with a bit of water and left the panel to dry on air.

After drying, I glued the panel on a white side folded card base.

Next up was the sentiment. I heat embossed the sentiment in white on a black cardstock paper, cut the sentiment to a desirable size stripe, glued 3-D foam squares on the back of the sentiment stripe and glued it on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 121 mm x 89 mm (4 3/4" x 3 1/2")

List of supplies:

• 'Sretan Božić' stamp set (sentiment)
• 'Winter Icons' stamp set (poinsettia)
• 'Winter Village' stamp set
• 'Snow Globe' stamp set 
• 'Driving Home For Christmas' stamp set

Poinsettia Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

My 3rd and last post for today. If you missed previous two, just scroll down or follow direct links here and here. :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Poinsettia Card. :o)

This is a first Christmas/Winter themed card I made this year. I love this color combination and will make more cards using it for sure. :o)

To make this card I used stamps from two GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles stamp sets: a poinsettia flower from 'Christmas Blessings' and a sentiment from 'Winter Words'. :o)

How I made my card....

I stamped the poinsettia flower on a Kraft paper panel in watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink.

I mixed a white tempera color with a bit of water and, using a paint brush, splattered the panel and left it dry on air.

While the panel was drying, I worked on the central poinsettia flower.

I stamped the poinsettia flower on a white watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using only one color: Distress Ink Ground Espresso. After drying, I fussy cut the flower, traced edges with a black marker and softened the flower with a stylus ball on a soft working mat.

Then I stamped another poinsettia flower on a white cardstock paper scrap, colored it with a grey marker and fussy cut it, leaving a thin white border around the flower.

I glued the watercolored flower over the grey one. I did this to make the image thicker, as the watercolor paper I use is very thin.

I wanted to add some dimension to my card, but currently I don't have any 3-D foam in my stash. Instead, I used the white cardstock paper scraps. I die cut 4 circles from scraps, glued them together (stacked them) and glued them on the back of the poinsettia flower. Worked perfectly!! :o)

Lastly, I heat embossed in white the sentiment on a black cardstock paper and cut the sentiment to stripes of desirable size. To make the sentiment pop a bit on the card, without 3-D foam, I glued each word stripe to a same size black stripe.

With all parts ready, I assembled the card. I glued the panel on a white top folded card base, glued the poinsettia flower and sentiment stripes on the card. Lastly, I glued one more white paper panel inside the card to make it sturdier and my card was finished. :o)

I love how my card turned out!! :o)
