Whimsical Bird Christmas Card

Hello Everyone!
Karen McAlpine with you today.   There is still time for one more Christmas card before the big day.  I hope you are enjoying your Holiday season.  I am busy with preparations for the Holiday.  My nephew and niece are hosting dinner this year. Which is nice.  I will make a dish to take along.

So, let's check out my Christmas card made with Technique Junkies stamps.  I used a non Christmas stamp and a Christmas sentiment to make two pretty little cards.


Materials List:
Stamps: Whimsical Bird Branch and Christmas Ornament Trio set (sentiment) both from Technique Junkies
Ink: Real Red and Garden Green (Stampin' Up)
CS: white, bright green, light bright green, dark green
DP: Christmas paper
Copic Markers
Ribbons
Spellbinders Oval Die Cut



Make It:

  • Make card bases from green CS
  • Wrap ribbons around layers of DP and CS before gluing to the card base
  • Add layers of CS and DP to complete the backgrounds
  • On white CS stamp the Whimsical Bird Branch - once in red and once in green ink
  • Color the images with Copic Markers
  • Die cut the stamped pieces
  • Stamp the sentiment 
  • Tie ribbons in bows and add to cards




Inside of Card: sentiment is from Christmas Ornament Trio Set


I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!  I hope your Holiday is filled with Love, Laughter, and Joy!
