O Holy Night Step Card

O Holy Night Step Card

This step card was made with elements from two kits from svgcuts called “Edisto Island Cards Svg Kit” (for the step card itself) and “O Holy Night Svg Kit” (for the nativity pieces). Click HERE to see the Edisto Island Kit and HERE to see the O Holy Night Kit at svgcuts.com.

These kits contains svg files of all of the pieces needed to create this card. I used my Cricut Expression with my Sure Cuts A Lot 2 software, but I could have used my Silhouette or any electronic die cutting machine that can cut svg files. I selected all of the paper I wished to use and set up all of the cut files on separate “pages” by grouping images based on the type of paper I wanted the pieces to be. Once all of the pieces were cut out by my electronic die cutting machine, I assembled and glued everything together and ended up with this cute card!

I am entering this card in the Mod Squad – Word Challenge – Holiday where “anything that is holiday related is fair game!” (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

Thanks for checking out my card project!

Falling Leaves Thanksgiving Card

Posted in Cards, Holiday Cards, Thanksgiving by lisababitz

Falling Leaves Thanksgiving Card

This is a triple layer card. The three stamped panels were first inked with Tim Holtz aged mahogany, rusty hinge, dusty concord, and vintage photo distress inks on Gina K Honey Mustard card stock. The panels were then temporarily taped together, centered one on top of the other. The leaf images were then stamped in versamark and aged mahogany and then were heat embossed with clear embossing powder. When stamping the images, I made sure that the leaves went over more than one layer. I also stamped and embossed the sentiment on a plain scrap of Honey Mustard card stock. The panels were then separated and matted on plain Honey Mustard card stock panels and a card base. After adding my raffia and wooden leaf embellishment, I layered the panels on top of each other in the same order and direction they were originally stamped, lining up the leaves as carefully as possible. I used pop dots to adhere the layers. The leaf image and greeting were from the Gina K Designs Fall Foliage set.

The panel measurements for this triple layer card are as follows:

stamped panel 2″ x 3 1/4″ mat 2 1/4″ x 3 1/2″

stamped panel 3″ x 4 1/4″ mat 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″

stamped panel 4″ x 5 1/4″ base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ – scored and folded in half so it creates a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ mat

This card is being entered in the StampTV MIUM Challenge, “Falling Leaves” where the card should have a leaf or leaves as the primary image. (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

It is also being entered in the Mod Squad Challenge – Word Challenge – Holiday where “anything that is holiday related is fair game.” (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)
