MERRY CHRISTMOOSE (1)

I’ve had the Chevron Cover-Up die from My Favorite Things for a very long time, but I never used it before. I finally came up with the perfect idea for a Christmas card, combining it with the Merry Christmoose stamp set, also from My Favorite Things.

I started by die cutting the Chevron Cover-Up from grey cardstock. This is going to be my base. I also die cut it from red, yellow and blue cardstock. I used the inside pieces. I adhered the base to the same grey cardstock I trimmed to a rectangle. I then adhered all the inside pieces, creating a pattern.

I set the base aside and went over to my sentiment. I die cut the word merry with the Merry Script die from Mama Elephant. I die cut it twice from white cardstock and adhered them together. To create some extra dimension, I covered the word with Versamark Ink and heat embossed it with Clear Gloss Embossing Powder from Wow. On a strip of yellow cardstock, I stamped the rest of the sentiment, in Versafine Onyx Black Ink, that I also heat embossed with the same Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.

I stamped the moose and the rug from the Merry Christmoose stamp set and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Moose: E57 – E29
Antlers:E41 – E43
Hat + sweater: BV05 – B05
Hat + Pants: Y15 – Y38
Mug: R46 – R59
Shoes: W2 – W7
Rug: R46 – R59/ W2 – W7

I fussy cut the images and started assembling my card. I adhered the word merry with stick-it adhesive, the word christmoose with foam tape, the rug flat and the moose with foam tape as well. I added the panel to a dark yellow cardbase.

Something different, but it turned out exactly the way I wanted.

WEEKLY WISH LIST (7)

Here is this week's wish list.

Stamps: Fairy Friends (Lawn Fawn)

 

 

We're in the middle of inspiration week over at Lawn Fawn. Their new release is amazing and I want almost all of the stamps and dies. But this Fairy Friends set is probably my favorite stamp set of them all. It's something new, no critters. And it's a great set to build a cute scene. And don't you just love those sentiments?

Dies: Chunky Chevron Cover-up (My Favorite Things)

 

 

I love creating my own bakcground. Now I do that by stamping, watercolor or with stencils, but how about this amazing background die. It cuts out a chevron pattern onto your paper. Dies are always so expensive, but this is one I would really like to have someday.

Inks: Fish Tank (Lawn Fawn)

 

 

I have an aqua blue and a very dark blue, but I need a blue like this Fish Tank ink. Such a gorgeous color.

Other: Spring-loaded micro-tip scissors (Fiskars)

 

 

Fiskars is a great company when it comes to cutting. I already have the non-stick scissors and the paper trimmer. This Spring-loaded scissor is perfect for fussy cutting. I saw reviews on YouTube telling me that it's really easy to work with and it doesn't hurt your hand.
