Card Club Kit - Set 2 - Card 4

I started with a deep warm grey green card.

I chose a designer paper by Fiskars - Kimberly Poloson - Old Fashioned Flowers/Harlequin. The 12x12 sheet was cut into six 4.00 x 5.25 inch pieces.  Those were then cut at 3.50 inches. I flipped the small piece and taped the pieces together with silver glitter washi tape.

I color printed the black greeting and punched it with the Stampin Up Word Window.  I then layered it onto the SU Modern Label punchie in black.  This greeting was adhered to the card front with two pieces of 3D foam tape.

Christmas Card Challenge - Sept - Focus Words

This is my card for my September Christmas Card Challenge which is Focus - Words.  I selected my designer paper from my Christmas drawer - Little Yellow Bicycle - Blue Harlequin. The diamonds in the top right hand corner are blue foiled.  I decided on a large greeting which would cover most of the card.  An easy way to do make elements the size you need is Cricut. I browsed through my cartridges and chose `Joy to the World` on the Winter Frolic cartridge. I selected a deep blue card stock based on the DP.  I cut the shadow in vellum just to provide some outline to the words. I found Kiwi Kiss matched well as the card.  I cut the DP to size and rubbed the edges on my Kiwi Kiss ink pad to get rid of the white edge. I added a length of 5/8 inch Kiwi Kiss gross grain ribbon which I taped to the back and brought the flag trimmed end to the front and adhered. I chose a large sequin which matched the foil color perfectly, then I layered a small white sequin and held it all in place with a tiny navy star brad. I placed three of them along the ribbon. I think it adds the right amount of bling.  I placed snail adhesive on the back of the blue greeting then placed it on the vellum shadow.  I then added adhesive to the back of the vellum and placed on the card front.  It makes for a non-traditional colored card but I am happy with it.
