Hey there! I’ve made it to Day Three of Martin Stone’s #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge !
Today’s challenge is “
Warm & Cozy.” When I think of warm and cozy, I think of sitting around a roaring fire with a warm cup of tea and a good book. My husband and I just spent a relaxing weekend in the Maryland mountains in the ski resort at Deep Creek Lake. We stayed at the lovely Lake Pointe Inn–it’s our favorite place to be warm and cozy (until we buy a house and move there to retire)!
I don’t have any stamp sets where I could recreate this warm and cozy scene. So I thought about other things that make me feel warm and cozy…and immediately thought of the “Whiskey Business” stamp set. Could I make a Christmas card with that set? Yes I could!
I stamped two whiskey glasses in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Shimmery White Card Stock. I colored the whiskey with Dark So Saffron, Ivory, and Light Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends. I then colored the entire glass and liquid with Clear Wink of Stella. Then I fussy cut the glasses with my Paper snips.
Next I stamped the “cheers to you” sentiment from the “Whiskey Business” set and “Merry Christmas” from the new “Framed & Festive” set in Merry Merlot Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock. I cut this out with one of the Framed Florets Dies.
I cut a 4-1/8″ by 5- 3/8″ mat from gold Brushed Metallic Card Stock. Then I cut the frame out of the center (’cause who’s going to see the center of a mat?).
To assemble the card, I adhered a 4″ by 5-1/4″ piece of Boughs of Holy Designer Series Paper to the gold Brushed Metallic mat. I wrapped a length of Gold and Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon around this piece before adhering it to an Evening Evergreen Card Stock card base.
I adhered the stamped oval element directly to the card and then used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the gold frame. Finally, I used two Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of each glass and adhered them so they are clinking in a “cheers to you!”
I hope you are inspired by my “warm & cozy” card. Go visit Martin’s Facebook 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge page or see him on Instagram (@martinmayhem) to see ALL the other cards that are being shown during this challenge. You will truly be inspired!!
