Now onto my creation.

I’ve created a Christmas card today using the gorgeous Bluebell with Robin image by Wild Rose Studio.

The paper I’ve used is also by Wild Rose Studio and is from the A Robin’s Christmas Paper Pack.

My image was stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured with Copic Markers. I have then fussy cut the image out and layered onto the front lever panel of my card using dimensionals. The sentiment on the front comes with the Bluebell with Robin image and I have stamped this also in Memento Tuxedo Black, fussy cut and layered onto another layer which has also been fussy cut.

The colours I’ve used are: E35, E33, E31, E30, R29, R27, R24, R22, G29, G28, G24, G21, G20.

Here’s a closer look at the image.

Here’s one of my card open.

This is a Lever Card. You can find a tutorial here at Splitcoaststampers but I liked Norma’s measurements which can be found here for a 6” x 6” card. I decided to turn the measurements into a studio file to be cut on my Silhouette Cameo. The main card and all the pattern pieces can be cut in no time at all and fit perfectly.

My sentiment on the inside if from Wonderous Wreath by Stampin’ Up. I have stamped this in Real Red ink, punched out and layered using the 2” Circle & 2 3/8” Scallop Circle punches. I’ve added a couple of Wild Orchid Crafts roses on the front with the Swirl & Flower Leaf die from Doohickey and a few Rhinestones in the other corners.

Here’s one last picture.

Now for my creation for this week.

I’m using Jingle Bells Rudolph from the Winter Wonderland Collection by Magnolia for my Christmas card today. I had this little fella last year and didn’t get around to using him (shameful I know) so I wanted to make sure he was coloured and shown some love this Christmas. I’ve used some Doohickeys dies on this card too. I’m using ‘Spruce’, ‘Cozy Fern & Snowflake’ and ‘So Wrapped Snowflake’.

Here’s the card with the ‘So Wrapped Snowflake’ tag out.

And here’s a close up of the image.

My image was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto X-Press It Blending card and coloured with my Copic Markers. I’ve then cut the image out using a Small Classic Circle Nestabilities and layered him onto a Large Classic Nestabilites. This has then been layered onto a Stately Circle Die. All of these are from Spellbinders. I’ve then Frantaged around the image and also on all the die cuts using Shabby White Frantage.

I hope you like my Christmas card I have made to inspire you today.
