Altenew November 2024 Inspiration Challenge - Mistletoe Wreath

-

November 2024 Inspiration Challenge with Nicki Baxley | 2 Layered Poinsettia Holiday Cards



Hello, today I’m sharing a Christmas card created with these products from Altenew:

  • ·      Mistletoe Wreath Outline Stamp Set
  • ·      Mistletoe Wreath Die Set
  • ·      Mistletoe Wreath Simple Coloring Stencil Set
  • ·      Organic Linen 3D Embossing Folder
  • ·      Altenew Fresh Dye Inks in Heart Beat, Golden Honeycomb, Sea Forest, Green Opal, Matcha Tea, and Crisp Dye Ink in Green Field

Other products:

  • ·      Ranger Gold Embossing Powder
  • ·      Red Cardstock

 

I started by stamping the wreath on Neenah Solar White Classic Crest 80lb. cardstock with Gina K Designs Amalgam Ink.  I used the Simple Coloring Stencil to color the wreath and the coordinating die to cut it out. 

 

I stamped the banner on red cardstock with Versamark Watermark Ink and heat embossed it with the gold embossing powder.  Then I used the coordinating die to cut it out.

 

To create a textured background, I cut a piece of Neenah cardstock down to 4.125” x 5.375” and I ran it through my die cutting machine with the Organic Linen 3D Embossing Folder. 

 

To complete the card, I used a piece of A2 size red cardstock and adhered the embossed background to it.  I glued down the wreath with Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue, and then I added the sentiment banner, adhering it with Simon Says Stamp Foam Squares.

 

That’s it for this simple card.  Thanks for stopping by!

Memory Box Cauldron Witch

  Hello!     Today I’m sharing a fun Halloween card I created with the Cauldron Witch and Fancy Gate Globe Dies from Memory Box.   To create the gate, I sprayed some Iron Gate Distress Mica Stain on a piece of black cardstock.  After it was dry I used the Fancy Gate Globe Die from Memory Box to cut it out.  Note: I used a lightweight black cardstock for the gate.  I recommend using a heavier weight cardstock so the gate won't be flimsy.   For the wall background I cut a piece of light gray cardstock down to 4.125” x 5.375”.  I used the “Small Brick Wall” stencil from My Favorite Things and ink blended some Lost Shadow Distress Ink on the gray cardstock.   I adhered the gate to the cardstock wall, about .5” up from the bottom.  I used Eclipse Masking paper to mask off the sides and I added some Black Soot Distress Ink to give the appearance of a path leading up to the gate.  I also put the stencil down again ...
