Special Delivery
Today’s card uses the Santa Express suite of products to create a slim card. This is a really fun product suite to use with great images in the Santa’s Delivery stamp set and co-ordinating Santa’s Train Dies. The Santa Express 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper is gorgeous and has some great images which you can cut out using the Santa’s Train Dies. I began by using a Blending Brush to add Coastal Cabana ink across a panel of Basic White card. I die cut Soft Suede card using the train track die from the Santa’s Train Dies. I attached this across the bottom of the coloured Basic White card. I embossed two pieces of Basic White card using the mountain folder from the Charming Landscapes Embossing Folders.
I cut around the top of the mountains and layered up the pieces to cover the length of the Basic White card. I made sure to butt the bottom of the embossed pieces up against the top of the die cut train track. I stamped the images from the Santa’s Delivery stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also added greetings from the Santa’s Delivery stamp set onto the side of the two carriages using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the images using Ivory, Real Red, Old Olive, Dark Daffodil Delight, Dark Basic Black, Soft Suede and Light Smoky Slate ink.
I die cut all of the pieces and attached them to the card front using dimensionals. The tree and present images are attached separately. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped “Merry Christmas” from the Santa’s Delivery Stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the candy cane image from the Santa’s Delivery stamp set across the bottom of the Basic White card also using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blend to colour the candy canes. I am so happy with the way this card turned out. In fact I am very happy with all the product I have used from this amazing Product Suite.
Bye for now,
Kris
