LOTS OF CHEER For Christmas: October Play Day 2019

Hi, Stampin’ Friends,
Today I am sharing a project with you that we made at October Play Day.  As soon as I saw this stamp when the catalog came out I knew I wanted to make a card with it; I just kind of fell in love with this sweet snowman!  Anyway, here is the project:

I also fell in love with the beautiful Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon when we used it on this project!  The ribbon is SO PRETTY and looks gorgeous on this card (the picture doesn't do it justice!).  

Here is my recipe:

STAMPS:  Lots of Cheer

CARDSTOCK:

     Night of Navy 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

     Mossy Meadow  4 x 5-1/4

     Brightly Gleaming DSP  3-7/8 x 3-7/8

     Brightly Gleaming DSP  1-1/2 x 3-7/8

     SCRAPS:  Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow

     INSIDE:

          Mossy Meadow  3-3/4 x 5

          Very Vanilla  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

INK:  Memento Black, Pretty Peacock

BLENDS:  Pretty Peacock (Light), Mossy Meadow (Light), Pumpkin Pie (Dark)

ACCESSORIES:  Rectangle Stitched Dies, Magnetic Platform, Big Shot, Dimensionals, Rhinestones, Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack, Reversible Ribbon (Old Olive/Pretty Peacock), Lakeside Framelits

The inside of the card looks like this:

I am not fond of "naked" insides, so I used a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock matted onto a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock.  I stamped the top portion of the snowman and colored him with Blends markers (my very favorite!).

HOW TO MAKE IT:

1.  Use Memento Black ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card.

2.  Stamp top of snowman stamp using Memento Black ink on lower right corner of inside panel of 

     Very Vanilla cardstock.  Color using Blends markers.

3.  Adhere inside panels together; adhere to inside of cardstock.

4.  Adhere DSP panels to Mossy Meadow cardstock.  Adhere Reversible Ribbon with the Pretty 

     Peacock side showing to the seam.  Tie Mossy Meadow twine from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon 

     Combo around the ribbon.  Adhere panel to card base front.

5.  Use Memento Black ink to stamp snowman on scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Cut out using 

     Rectangle Stitched Shapes and Big Shot (I used the fourth framelit from the largest).  Make sure 

     stamped image is toward the top of the die cut.  Color snowman using Blends markers.

6.  Use Rectangle Stitched Framelits (third framelit from the largest) to cut out a Mossy Meadow die 

     cut.  Adhere the stamped image to the Mossy Meadow die cut.  Attach to card front using 

     dimensionals.

7.  Stamp sentiment using Pretty Peacock ink on scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Cut out using die 

     from Lakeside Framelits and Big Shot.  Use paper snips to snip off decorative ends.  Use long, 

     skinny die from Rectangle Stitched Framelits to cut out a Mossy Meadow die cut.  Adhere 

     sentiment to Mossy Meadow die cut.  Adhere just below the stamped.

8.  Adhere rhinestones (see sample picture for placement).

We enjoyed making this card at Play Day and I hope you will enjoy making it as well!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy stamping,
Linda
