Welcome to this month’s Tech 4 Stampers Academy Blog Hop.
This month’s theme is: White Christmas.
This month’s theme really made me think about what White Christmas actually meant to me so I decided to show you 3 ways to make a White Christmas card. My first card I chose to use mainly white as the colour with a very neutral colour as an accent. My second and third cards I decided to make a snowy scene by using Craft Stampin’ Ink (white) ink.
3 ways to make a White Christmas Card – card 1
First I cut a Basic White Thick portrait card base and a Basic White mat layer. I embossed the Basic White mat layer using the snowflake/flower embossing folder from the Basics 3D embossing folders and stuck it onto the card base.
Next I stamped the church from the Yuletide Village stamp set onto Basic White card using Basic Gray ink. I then stamped the snow onto the top part of the card using Basic Gray ink but I stamped it off first onto a piece of paper before stamping onto the card.
Then using the white from the Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics I coloured in the snow and put to one side to dry.
Once dry I die cut the church using one of the circles from the Spotlight on Nature dies and stuck it onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Next I stamped the ‘Merry Christmas’ sentiment from the Reindeer Fun stamp set onto Basic White card using Basic Gray ink and added it to the card front again using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
3 ways to make a White Christmas Card – card 2
First I cut a Basic White Thick portrait card base and a Basic White mat layer. Then I cut a Misty Moonlight mat layer and stuck it onto the card base. I then embossed the Basic White mat layer using the snowflake/flower embossing folder from the Basics 3D embossing folders and stuck it onto the Misty Moonlight may layer.
Next I stamped the church from the Yuletide Village stamp set onto Misty Moonlight card using Craft Stampin’ ink. I then put a drop of Craft Stampin’ ink onto a stamp block and painted the snow using a Water Painter.
I then die cut out the stamped image again using one of the circles from the Spotlight on Nature dies.
Next I splatted the ink over the stamped image to make snow. I then repeated this by splattering Wink of Stella which added some sparkle.
Next I stamped the ‘Merry Christmas’ sentiment onto a strip of Basic White card stock using Misty Moonlight ink. I stuck the stamped sentiment onto a strip of Misty Moonlight card stock before adding both stamped images to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
3 ways to make a White Christmas Card – card 3
My third card is made very similarly to Card 2. Instead of stamping the church image in Craft Stampin’ ink I stamped it using Versamark ink. I then heat embossed it using White embossing powder. Yes I did remember to rub my card stock using a Stamping Buddy before stamping the image.
Again I coloured in the snow using Craft Stampin’ ink and splattered Craft Stampin’ ink and Wink of Stella over it to make snow flakes.
I finished off the card in the same way as I did for Card 2.
I am really pleased with how my 3 ways to make a White Christmas card turned out. Which one is your favourite one? Mine is card 3 and I might be using this card for this year’s Christmas cards.
