Group of Seven Cardmakers October Technique Christmas Card



Be sure and click on the link above for all the Groups sample cards
and wonderful detailed descriptions for this awesome easy technique.

There is a Linky too so you can join in our Blog fun!  We are not a Challenge!

You will soon discover that you cannot make just one card using the technique:-)
The technique is Great for Christmas Cards too:-)

This video by Gina K is very helpful too..

My Stenciling over Heat Embossing Christmas Card.

I began by adding The Rabbit Hole Designs white powder to an A2 size
 cut piece of a Neenah white 110# cardstock.

Then used MISTI to stamp my SU En Francais Background (ret) using SSS White 
Premium Pigment Ink.  Removed from MISTI and sprinkled with
Wow White EB Powder and heat set and then set aside card front.
 
Next I attached my Brutus Monroe "Stick & Stamp Mat"
onto my glass mat using 3M double stick tape on the back of it,  
which I can use over and over again.

Next used wide 3M white masking tape to secure the cardstock over S&S Mat.
I always use my masking tape multiple times too.

I sponged Memento London Fog Dye Ink through my stencil using T.H.
Blending Sponge with handle.
Wiped off heat embossed En Francais with paper towel
to make sure no London Fog ink was left on script.

Then placed in MISTI and stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne black
pigment ink and heat embossed the Pinkfresh Poinsettia Stamp
sentiment with clear SU EB Powder.

I attached with Connect Glue the card front to Neenah 110# White Cardbase 
and embellished with 2 stacked layers of the Pinkfresh Poinsettia Washi Tape
wreath and center image and Done!
 
I was very pleased with the results:-)
The technique worked great for a Christmas card design.

Hope you join us and add your cards to our Linky:-)

The holiday season preparations have started in earnest...Enjoy💖
Time to bundle up too...we are now into our SW Oregon Rainy Season:-)

Love and Hugs and Thank you for visiting💕
