Christmas Eve in the Village

Hidy Ho Teaspoon Fans,

Today Teaspoon of Fun is bringing you a cascading slimline card.  This very pretty card is done with a little masking and some Distress Oxide Ink.  This cute little village can be used year-round   Let’s take a look at what I picked for you today….

Christmas Village

Stitched Nesting Circles

Merry Christmas Script

Black Hybrid Ink

Distressed Oxide – I used Fossilized Amber and Uncharted Mariner

Blending Brushes

Luma Bleed Proof White

Paw Palette or Flower Palette

Silicone Dispenser

Soft Bristle Toothbrush

Media Palette Knife

Jewel Picker

Retractable Craft Pick

White Gel Pen

Glitter Drops – I used White Blizzard

EZ Grand Dispenser

Repositionable EZ Grand Tape refill

White Craft Foam Tape

Slimline Card Bases

Slimline Card Envelopes

It’s a fast and fun card to create.  On a piece of White Card Stock measuring 2″ x 7 1/2″ I used the masking technique to get the moon and the snow drifts.  I cut a small circle from the Stitched Nesting Circles die set and used our EZ Grand Dispenser and the Repositionable EZ Grand Tape refill to temporarily hold the moon and drifts in place.  Then I sponged Uncharted Mariner Distressed Oxide Ink on with our Blending Brushes.  

Cut the  Christmas Village (it comes with 17 fun village dies in the set) and decide where you want them to lay on the snowbanks.  Before you glue them down, use the Fossilized Amber Distressed Oxide Ink to lay some color down for the glow in the windows and lamp posts.  Then use your Deluxe Adhesive to glue them in place.

Now take the Luma Bleed Proof White and put a little into either the Paw Palette or Flower Palette.  Add a little water from the Silicone Dispenser if you need to (you don’t want it too thick or too thin).  Using your Soft Bristle Toothbrush spray some of the Luma onto the piece to form snowdrops.  Ohhhhhhh this is looking so so pretty!  Take this layer and adhere it to a piece of white card stock measuring 2 1/4″ x 7 3/4″  with  our EZ Grand Tape Dispenser.  Add some of our White Blizzard Glitter Drops to highlight the snowdrifts and the bottom of the buildings/lamp posts.

I stamped the Merry Christmas Script sentiment with our Black Hybrid Ink.

Use our White Craft Foam Tape to adhere the layered piece onto the Slimline Card Bases.  Add this to one of our Slimline Card Envelopes and you have a master piece waiting to be mailed out!  What did you think?!
