A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Happy Little Stampers "Twine" Challenge

It's June and time for another Happy Little Stampers challenge:


I have a roll of red and white twine, perfect for Christmas, so made this card as my Design Team card:


I stamped and heat embossed the ornaments and used their matching punch.  I then punched tiny holes in the tops and threaded the twine through the holes and around the branches of the die cut evergreen bow.  I popped up the ornaments on foam tape and only stuck down the top of the pine bough so that it also has some dimension. I added a Happy Little Stampers sentiment and popped the whole panel up on fun foam.

Come and join us at Happy Little Stampers and show us your Christmas cards using twine!






Supplies:
Stamps -  SU Delightful Decorations, HLS noel sentiment
Ink -  ColorBox Cranberry and Evergreen
Paper - white and dark green cs
Size - A2
Accessories - red/white twine, SU ornament punch, Memory Box pine needle border die, Ranger Rich Red embossing powder, Stampendous Pearlustre Emerald embossing powder, foam tape, fun foam
