Welcome to the Thursday Create Challenge by Create with Connie & Mary. I used scraps of Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper (DSP) for my card today, hence the “Scrappy Christmas.
The Challenge:
Today we have a sketch challenge. I have created a Christmas card I like using the Brightest Glow Bundle and the DSP mentioned above. I hope you like it too!
The Card:
I used traditional Christmas colors. Real Red and Mossy Meadow (red and green) For me, the simplest-looking card is one of the more challenging to design. Although I love how it turned out, I tend to be more of a ‘symmetrically OCD’ type designer. How about you?
The strips of Boughs of Holly DSP range from 3/4″ to 3/8″ wide. I started with 4″ lengths and then randomly cut them to the length I wanted. Each card will undoubtedly turn out different and, that is OK.
Scrappy Christmas Details:
I have actually given you most of the details already. My A2 card has a Real Red base with Mossy Meadow for the first layer and Basic White for the second layer, each layer cut 1/4″ smaller that the previous one. What do you think of the beautiful font used for the sentiment? I love it! This is from the Brightest Glow stamp set that is made up of all sentiments. I showcased the Real Red inked sentiment in a Labels Aglow die. Fancy!
On the left, you can sneak a peek at the inside of the card. It is layered the same as the front with an added piece of DSP to tie it to the card front.
The Inside:
And, there you have it; a beautiful sentiment in red with a 3/4″ strip of DSP. I hope you like the card and will try your hand at a Scrappy Christmas card. Stampin’ Up! DSP makes designing for the card so much easier than it could be. Why? Because the twelve double-sided sheets found in one package all work well together. So, don’t throw those Christmas DSP scraps away.
