Happy Holidays Card Tutorial and and Invitation

 Hello! It's release day at Gina K Designs and StampTV. That means we are having a release party and all new stamps will become available in the store at 11am Central today. I hope you can join us at the party, over at StampTV.  I used my brand new set, Joyful Holiday, to make this card. It and all the new sets can be found here at 11am Central.

The other illustrators are all posting peeks at their sets today, too, so hop on over to see what they have to share...

To make my card, I stamped the poinsettia w/ foliage image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and began coloring with YG97.

Then added YG95.

For for the holy leaves, I began with G03.

And added G07.

 For the poinsettia, I began with R27.

 Added R24.

Then filled in with R22. After coloring, I cut out around the outside. I also used a red Copic to trace over the swirls.

I stamped the sentiment on ivory card stock and cut it out using Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® Labels 18, then sponged with Memento Bamboo Leaves while still in the die template. 

I cut another piece of ivory using Spellbinders Ribbon Threader die template and sponged again with Memento Bamboo Leaves.


The layers were adhered with Pop Dots and I added a self adhesive pearl to the center of the poinsettia. I threaded a ribbon through the Ribbon Threader layer before adhering to the Pure Luxury Cherry Red card base (4 ¼ by 5 ½ inches). I also stamped holy in the corners. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!
