Christmas slider card

I combined the Ready For Christmas and Cookie Cutter Christmas sets to create an interactive slider card.

Santa, the gifts and baubles were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.

To achieve the two tones for the garland on the stairs, I first patted the stamp into the Granny Apple Green ink and then added some Tranquil Tide with a Stampin' Write Marker before stamping the image.  I finished with a light sponging of Lemon Lime Twist to the edges.

Likewise, the christmas tree fronds were all cut in both Granny Apple Green and Tranquil Tide and slightly offset.

Fun Fold Christmas Card featuring Ready for Christmas & Cookie Cutter Christmas

I used a die in the Bouquet Bunch Framelits set to cut the slot and followed a tutorial by Julie Masse at SplitCoastStampers for the basic Pull-Tab slider mechanism.

This is a very simple Christmas card using the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and the new Stampin' Blend alcohol markers that will be available from Wednesday 1 November.

The santa from Cookie Cutter Christmas is coloured with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers

The base card is Basic Gray.  The Whisper White layer was embossed with the Holly embossing folder and swiped with a Smoky Slate ink pad.  

Santa was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with the alcohol markers before cutting out with the coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder punch.

To finish the card there's a strip of Real Red cardstock with a line of Black Mini Sequin Trim and a sprinkle of Rhinestones.

Thank you for visiting.
