Cute ideas for Santa Express bonus cards; included in the Kit to Go
Before we get to today's cards; I have to make sure you know about the Clearance Rack refresh. So many great deals; but they're while supplies last. Click hereto see them.
This month one of my kits to go features the Santa Express Memories & More cards seen here. I sincerely enjoy playing with these cards & the many extra elements included in them.
Besides the 10 cards & envelopes they'll make with the kit and PDF tutorial I've created some bonus cards they can make as well. Here's a peek at them:
There's no stamping on any of these; all greetings and layered pieces are from the kit itself.
Notice the cursive words and the stars? These are wooden elements included in the kit! I colored them with Blends markers. They're actually nice and thin; maybe around 1/16" in height.
Here's a link to this kit to go. It's while supplies last; so opt in soon!
Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black & Granny Apple Green.
She said she cased it from Tammy White. The card base is all one piece. It's called a side-step card and here is a linkto a tutorial I wrote years ago. She used the Scary Silhouette dies for the left side and the Bewitching stamp set for the hat & boots on the right.
The hat & boots are popped up on the steps with thin strips of window sheets. There is white glimmer paper behind the die-cuts on the front. I love the say she achieved the silhouette under the Black layer. She did this by snipping the green die-cut in half on the sides and moving it down from the top and up from the bottom.
I used the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here and these colors – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Real Red & Cherry Cobbler. My Soft Succulent card bases are either 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" or 4 1/4" X 11".
Here is the main template that you stamp on. It shows the cutting measurements that give you 5 pieces for your card fronts. I frequently use these measurements for the inside of cards; especially when I make a bunch at a time. Instead of just 4 layers you get 5 from one piece of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock.
In the photo below I stamped on the Basic White card stock (shown on the right) and then cut that into 5 pieces using the template above. I stamped down the center mostly, leaving open areas in each section so I could stamp a greeting. If it didn't work out (or I just want to), I add a die-cut or punched greeting.
Here's the other template for the colored layer under the stamped White piece. In my case it's Cherry Cobbler. Each piece measures 4 7/8" X 3 5/8" giving you a narrow edge, but all 5 from one sheet with very little waste! Love that!
