Putting It Together

I printed the digi in two sizes 'cause I wasn't sure which size I wanted to use.

I coloured both of the images and really loved how they turned out. I used Nuvo alcohol markers on 110lb Hammermill paper.

For the larger version, I decided to do a square card. I used square dies to cut a sparkly glitter cardstock frame and found a great paper from a pad I recently bought. I found a sentiment die that could go with them and dry fit everything to make sure it would work.

I used the die to cut foiled cardstock and couple more from heavy black cardstock. I triple stacked the 'seasons' and double stacked the 'greetings' because I planned to use foam mounting tape under the picture. Stacking die cuts not only gives them dimension, it also makes them more stable or rigid.

All put together. I needed to add a bit more adhesive under the 'g' for it to stick better on the glittery frame. I added a little more adhesive and put it under something heavy (a small box with Distress Oxide sprays).

Inside, I used two inks to stamp a Unity sentiment to give it more character and added a strip of the scrap from the background paper on the front. I got the sentiment from a car boot sale, I think it might have been a freebie at some time.

For the smaller image, I decided to use the Frame Punch Board to make a frame like an old Poloroid. This kind of frame was one of the main reasons I picked up this punch board when I saw it at Tuesday Morning.

I found a great background paper from my stash and did a dry fit with a sentiment from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and a plastic snowflake embellishment. I added a black mat with a thin edge to the picture which I think amps up the Poloroid look.

I added everything to a kraft card base.

Inside, I used another sheet from the same paper pad and added another Kraftin' Kimmie sentiment.
