ALL SUPPLIES LISTED BELOW!
- Create background panel using an A2 piece of Mixed Media Cardstock and Spun Sugar Distress Spray Stain. Spritz panel with water, spray on Spun Sugar Spray Stain, dry with heat tool, drop water on panel to cause the pigment to wick, then dry.
- Cut panel down to 4×5.25″
- Die cut a piece of white glitter cardstock using the largest die in the Border Bling: Skinny Ric Rac Die Set from Papertrey Ink. Adhere to background panel.
- Die cut all pieces for the stocking and the stocking stuffers from the Build a Stocking Die Set from Papertrey Ink.
- Use the Ink Smooshing technique to color all the part of the stocking and the stocking stuffers. I used Lumberjack Plaid Distress Ink for the main part of the stocking, holly berries and part of the candy cane, Lost Show Distress Ink for the cuff, toe, and heel of the stocking, Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink for the present, Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink for the holly branch, Twisted Citron Distress Ink for the bow, Black Soot Distress Ink for the Snowman’s hat.
- Color snowman’s nose, buttons, and arms with Alcohol Markers.
- Adhere the stocking, snowman, present, candy cane, and holly branch together.
- Wrap twine around stocking and tie into a bow.
- Then adhere the snowman to the front of the stocking and glue the remaining images to the back of the stocking.
- Adhere stocking to the card panel.
- Add white spatter over entire panel and stocking.
- Die cut script Ho Ho Ho from the This is Big Sentiments: Ho Ho Ho from Papertrey Ink using Glossy Black cardstock (mine was from my stash).
- Determine were to place holes for the Twinkle Lights. I wanted mine to be behind the “O’s” in the main sentiment. Use a hole punch to punch holes.
- Stamp “Push” from the PB Press Stamp and Die Bundle with Kitsch Flamingo ink on background panel above where you want the on button.
- Add battery to Twinkle Light Set and tape lights in place using clear tape.
- Use World’s Greatest Foam Tape to secure battery pack in place and around the background panel.
- Adhere panel to top folding white card base.
- Use thin foam squares cut into thin strips to pop up the Ho Ho Ho and place above lights.
- Heat emboss sentiment from This is Big Sentiments: Ho Ho Ho Stamp Set, then die cut using Honey Bee Stamps Mini Messages Banners Die Set.
- Adhere sub sentiment below Ho Ho Ho with a thin foam strip.
I am slowly getting my Christmas cards done. Whoever receives this one, will love the Twinkle Lights as it makes the card a little extra special. Make sure to check out the Pear Blossom Press Blog as there is a ton of inspiration for you.
