I really had very little holiday dsp until I bought a card kit from Simon Says Stamp at Christmas and it included some really nice vintage style patterned paper and frames, which I used for this card.
I started with a collage design sheet of paper, trimmed it down and adhered it to a 5 x 7" ivory card base. Another piece of the paper had Santa's cute face on it, so it was trimmed down to go on the inside of the shaker window. A piece of acetate was glued to the back of the frame, then foam tape was adhered around the perimeter before adding some of a sequin mix and adhering the piece with Santa on the back.
To make this look old and "vintage" I used a tool to distress the edges of all the pieces of designer paper and ink blended some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide around the outside. As the panels were layered on the card, I made sure to have some tears and have the corners curled up. After adhering the shaker, I added two sentiment stickers to the bottom front of it and three snowflakes cut from white glitter paper to finish it up. I do love that Santa face peeking out of the shaker window!
Now is a great time to build your supply of holiday cards, and we'd love to have you play along with us this month. The challenge is open until 6 pm GMT (2 pm EDT) April 9th.
Thanks for visiting. Take care!
