Today, I am sharing the cards made for the April Christmas Stampathon where we have a sketch to inspire us. Using the sketch, we are asked to make multiple Christmas cards to add to our stash, ready for Christmas. I have used the Merriest Trees stamp set and Dies to make my cards.
Colours used in these cards are:
To recreate the Merriest Trees cards, you will need:
Pretty Peacock card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Winter Meadow dsp – 5” by 1” x 3
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card
The trio of Winter Meadow dsp strips were glued to the – 5⅛” by 3⅜” panel of Basic White card, leaving a small border around each piece. The panel was then glued to the Pretty Peacock card base.
