My Favorite Things - Stuffed Santa Card Kit - Release Day

Hey everyone today is the day you can purchase the My Favorite Things August Card Kit called 'Stuffed Santa', the release is now live!

To create my card using items for the kit I first used the A2 Stitched Rectangles STAX Die-namics (set 2) to create two panels.   One was done using Amarena Cherry Prestige Cardstock and the second was just with smooth white cardstock.   This second panel was stamped using the Ho Ho Ho Background Stamp and Versamark Ink then heat embossed in white.  I then ink blended first with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink followed by Tea Dye Distress Oxide Ink around the edge to 'antique it' a little.

I backed the smaller panel with white craft foam and glued it to the red panel which in turn was adhered to my card base.

I then used dimensional foam tape to apply the snow blown roof top by die cutting white cardstock with the Stitched Snow Drifts Die-namics.   You could make your rooftop flat but of course snow on a roof is always sculpted into beautiful curves by the wind and I love that look.    I popped this in my Misti and stamped the fun sentiment.

I stamped the images I was using from the stamp set Stuffed Santa and coloured the images with Copic markers.  Here's my colour palette:-

Chimney -  E44, E43, E42, E41

Snow on Chimney - BG70, G0000, G000

Santa - RV69, R39, R29, R24, W9, W7, W5, W4, W3, Y15

A white gel pen was used to highlight a few points then the images die cut, backed with foam tape and applied to the scene.

To complete the fun card I first used Nuvo Stone Drops in Chalk White to form the granular/fluffy snow fall and Stickles glitter was applied to the dripping edge of the snow on the chimney because it just wouldn't be Christmas without some sparkle!

I appreciate you stopping by my blog today and happy crafting!

My Favorite Things - Stuffed Santa Card Kit - Countdown Day 2

Today is Countdown Day 2 to the August 24th card kit release by My Favorite Things.   The kit is called 'Stuffed Santa' and is packed with fun.

My card was created by using the A2 Stitched Rectangles STAX Die-namics Set 2 to create a white panel which I stamped with the sentiment from the Stuffed Santa stamp set and ink blended a focal point using Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass and Kitsch Flamingo together with Princess Pink Premium Dye Ink.  This panel was adhered to a panel of Cotton Candy cardstock and I added Nuvo drops  to the sky for some snow and set this aside to dry.

Using cardstock in the Cotton Candy again together with Princess Pink, Sno-Cone, white and Gravel Grey, I die cut all the components to make the rooftop  and assembled it with glue and dimensional foam tape.   I then used some of the same cardstock to create the string lights using the die-namics 'Christmas String Lights'.

I applied the rooftop component to my card with foam tape and used Stickles to glitter up the snow and lights.

I added 3 snowflakes using Sweet Snowflakes Die-namics.

The fun finishing touch was to squeeze Santa into the top of the chimney.  I stamped the image and coloured it with Copic markers.   I used the following colours:-

Skin -  E04, E11 E21, E00

Cheeks - R21

Hat - RV000, RV10, RV02, T2, T1, T0

Beard -  T2, T1, T0

I placed him in the chimney with foam tape and highlighted a few points with a white gel pen and with that the card was complete!

I'll be back on release day with new inspiration for how to use the Card Kit.   I appreciate you stopping by today.  Happy crafting!
