I’m using the Sweet Dreams Mini Cube Set for Galactic Stream, Tropical Forest Mini Cube Set for Parrot, and Red Cosmos Mini Cube Set for Coral Berry.
Seasons Greetings
Press Parrot on craft sheet, covering an area a few inches wide. Spritz with water and press cardstock into the wet ink. Lift up. Press Permanent Black onto the craft sheet and mist with water, then use the waterbrush to spatter.
Mat the piece on red and wrap with red cord. Glue to the card front.
Die cut the rectangle and stamp the sentiment with black, die cut the rectangle frame from black. Use foam tape to glue to the card front. Tie a bow in red cord and glue.
Happy Holidays
Press Galactic Stream in craft sheet and spritz, then press with glossy card. Sprinkle on a tiny bit of Golden Peach embossing powder, tap off and heat set. Edge with embossing ink and heat set.
Mat in white, light blue and dark blue.
Spatter card blank with watery Galactic Stream. Let dry, then glue the matted piece on top.
Die cut a circle from white and stamp the sentiment with Permanent Black. Die cut a second oval from dark blue and glue behind the white circle, slightly offset. Glue to the card front. Add a bow in blue cord.
Merry and Bright
Press Coral Berry and Parrot ink pads on to white cardstock. Ink the outside edge with Permament Black.
Die cut the oval. Stamp the sentiment on white with Permanent Black. Die cut the outer oval from black. Position them onto the inked background to determine placement for the small flower motifs. Stamp several onto the background with black. Glue the steamed sentiment and frame to the inked piece. Add tiny rhinestone stickers and a bow tied in red cord.
Happy New Year
Drag the Galactic Stream ink pad along a piece of white vellum. Heat set briefly but not so the ink is completely dry. Sprinkle on Golden Peach embossing powder. Heat set.
Make a watery wash of Galactic Stream and spatter onto a piece of white card cut slightly larger than the embossed piece. When dry, use a glue stick to adhere the vellum on top of the spattered background. Wrap with blue cord.
Mat onto kraft card, then onto the card front.
Use Permanent Black ink to stamp the sentiment onto a white oval die cut. Die cut the frame from white and use foam tape to adhere the two to the card front. Add small blue gemstones and a bow tied in blue cord.
