HEY FRIENDS! I’m working away on holiday cards so today I have TWO cards and a video featuring the Anita Jeram All is Bright stamp set by Colorado Craft Company. I’m not going to go into great detail about the coloring the images because I have a tutorial for you on my YouTube channel. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.
Card 1
ALL IS BRIGHT (CAT)
Size: 4.25″ x 5.5″
Featured products:
- Anita Jeram All is Bright by Colorado Craft Company [ SBC | CCC | SSS ]
- Anita Jeram Christmas Hats by Colorado Craft Company (sentiment) [ SBC | CCC | SSS ]
- Folk Edge Rectangles Die Set by Pinkfresh Studio [ SBC | SBP | SSS ]
- Copic coloring (see marker list below)
- Additional supplies listed in the thumbnails below.
To start, I cut a piece of Neenah 110# cardstock to create an A2 portrait cardbase. I also cut a piece of Grapesicle Cardstock from My Favorite Things. I glued the two layers together with Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive and set them aside.
Next, I used taped together the mid-sized die from the Folk Edge Rectangles Die Set by Pinkfresh Studio along with its coordinating plain die to create a frame. I used the taped framed dies to cut twice from white cardstock. This created two frame pieces and two solid pieces. I glued the two framed pieces together. Then I ink blended Distress Ink in Spun Sugar in the center of one of the solid pieces and stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair.
You’ll see from the video that I stamped and colored all of the images at the same time. I’ll just note here that the images were stamped on Hammermill 100# Smooth Cardstock with Amalagam Ink in Obsidian by Gina K. Designs. After coloring the image were cut with the coordinating dies. I applied foam squares to the back of the images and adhered them to the card as shown.
Card 2
ALL IS BRIGHT (Cat & Dog)
Size: 4.25″ x 5.5″
Featured products:
- Anita Jeram All is Bright by Colorado Craft Company [ SBC | CCC | SSS ]
- Anita Jeram Christmas Hats by Colorado Craft Company (sentiment) [ SBC | CCC | SSS ]
- Folk Edge Rectangles Die Set by Pinkfresh Studio [ SBC | SBP | SSS ]
- Copic coloring (see marker list below)
- Additional supplies listed in the thumbnails below.
To start, I cut a piece of Neenah 110# cardstock to create an A2 landscape cardbase. I also cut a piece of Simon Says Cardstock in Fog Gray to 4.25 x 5.5 inches. I love this cardstock because it creates the perfect neutral background. I glued the two layers together with Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive and set them aside.
I wanted the cat and one of the branches to be set back from the dog and the rest of the tree. So I started by stamping the cat and branch on Hammermill 100# Smooth Cardstock with Amalagam Ink in Obsidian as shown below.
After the images were colored I trimmed the panel with the Folk Edge Rectangles die set and stamped the sentiment in the upper right corner with Versafine Clair. I glued craft foam to the back for dimension, but you could use foam squares or foam tape. I adhered the panel to the card base. I applied foam squares to the remainder of the colored die cut images and assembled as shown. I added Wink of Stella in Clear to the ornaments for a little added shimmer.
