It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a card using Motorin' By Santa - T094 by High Hopes Rubber Stamps for the main image and Coming To Town - G271 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. Santa's motoring through town to bring everyone some Christmas Cheer!
To make my card this week, I began with a card base of Hammermill - Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock, cut and scored to be 5.5" x 4.25". I cut the background paper from Stampin' Up - Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper to be the same size as the base and inked around the edges using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Salty Ocean. I applied this directly to the base card using double-sided tape. AC - Black cardstock was cut to 5.5" x .75" and adhered to the bottom using double-sided tape. I die cut the village using my Cutttlebug, Hammermill - Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock and Village Edges dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I coloured in the homes and put some yellow cardstock behind for the windows. Then I took the little doors, coloured them in and inset them back into the die cuts. Once this was done, I added Gina K Designs - Glitz Glitter Gel - Iridescent to the hills and Stickles - Diamond to the roof tops.
With my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped both the image and the sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in the image with Copic markers and then I fussy cut around it. I added Stickles - Xmas Red to the Holly on the motorbike and Stickles - Diamond to the pop pom on Santa's hat. Using my Cuttlebug, I die cut the sentiment using Whimsy Stamps - Quick Strips Die Set. I ran this through my Xyron Create a Sticker and placed it on some red cardstock. Then using my cutter, I cut around it leaving a slim border.
Once everything was dry, it was time to assemble the remainder of the card. I applied the houses directly to the base over top of the road. The Santa image and sentiment were both popped up onto the background using 3M double-sided tape.
