Time for our monthly blog hop with
ARTISTIC OUTPOST and this month our theme is Christmas, a perfect opportunity for me to tick another Christmas card off the to do list. My Christmas card has a very vintage feel to it using the fabulous Santa image from the
Snowy Woods plate.
This is a pop up card using the fabulous Pop 'n Cuts system, I love the interest it gives to the inside of a card. The front of my card has two baubles cut using a Spellbinders die, coloured with a little vintage photo Distress Ink. The fabulous Santa image has been added to each bauble.
I stamped the foliage stamp in the background using walnut stain Distress Ink and blended a little vintage photo ink around the edges to add to the vintage feel. Happy Christmas has been stamped onto cream card and sponged with a little vintage photo ink.
For a little more interest I have added twine and rusty stars to the top of each bauble, I love the rustic feel this gives to my piece.
This is the inside of my pop up card, I love the star pop up as this echoes the rusty stars used throughout my design. I have added Happy Christmas to my star along with more twine and a few more rusty stars to coordinate with the front of my card. I have also added the second Santa again from the Snowy Woods plate to the top corner of the pop up.
I love the sentiment from the Snowy Woods plate, the font is gorgeous and perfect for a little interest to the bottom of my pop up.
My fellow Design Team members have created some fabulous pieces, pop along and be inspired along the way.

Hi Tracy
This card is fantastic and the pop up element adds to how wonderful it is.

A really gorgeous card Tracy. I am intrigued as to how you stamped the Santa and kept the edges on the die cuts - fabulous. Love the star pop up too.
Superb card - love the composition and stamp xx
Wow, Tracy, that's a stunner! I was loving 'just' the outside ~ it's gorgeous as is, closed. But the inside adds remarkable details as well. Love it!
