Let’s Get Lit Reindeer Pop-Up Card…

Today I am sharing a pop-up card that I made using a super cute stamp set called “Let’s Get Lit” by Beth Duff Designs.

I started this card by stamping the deer and tree images onto some paper and scanning those into my Silhouette Cameo software.  Once all the images were scanned, I arranged them the way that I liked and grouped them together.  I used an offset of .075 so that I had an outline of the image that would allow for a white border once I adhered the pieces to it.  I used the pop-up feature that is in the software to create the pop-up for my image.  [For an explanation of how this feature works, see this post where I share the instructions and another cute card].

Since the image was already in my software and grouped how I wanted it, I printed it off so that I could color it using my Prismacolor Pencils. Once I finished coloring the image, I fussy cut it and adhered it to the pop-up.   Next, I stamped and fussy cut the ornaments and candy canes and adhered those to the trees.  I stamped my sentiment onto some white cardstock and punched it out with my circle punch.  Then I sponged around the edges with some Close To My Heart Cranberry ink and adhered that to the pop-up layer. I adhered the pop-up layer to the inside of my burgundy card base.

Once the inside was complete, it was time to start working on the front of my card.  I kept it pretty simple.

I printed off some digital paper and adhered that to the front of the card.  Then I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut a large burgundy star for the mat, and a smaller white star that I added the “may your Holiday be LIT” sentiment to.  This sentiment comes with the stamp set.  I adhered those together and then added a clear jewel to each point of the star and adhered it to the front of the card.

Here is another look at the inside just before I added the ornaments.  You can really see how the image pops out.

Before you go, I want to tell you about my awesome opportunity to be a guest designer for Beth Duff Designs and take a minute to share a sneak peek of the shaker card I made using this stamp set.   You can visit her blog here to get the details on how this card was made.

That’s it for me today.  Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Get Creative Challenge #75

It’s time for another Get Creative Challenge.  This month’s challenge is an “Anything But A Card” challenge.  I decided I’d make a Christmas tag and I’m using this cute trio of Caroling Snowmen from Paper Nest Dolls.  Aren’t they so adorable!  I colored this image with Prismacolor Pencils and a blender pen.  I popped it up to add some dimension to the tag.   I’m still learning how to color with pencils.  I’m enjoying the process, though.

There are 3 jingle bells strung on some red striped twine and hung across the top of the tag.  Some crystal stars were added for a little twinkle.  The sentiment is one that I had from an Art C (Michaels) Ornament Set.

Thanks for stopping by to take a look.  Don’t forget to head on over to the Get Creative Challenge to enter this month’s challenge.
