Deck the Halls Card by November Guest Designer Amanda Wilcox



Welcome back everyone! This is my third post as a guest designer for Newton's Nook and the fun is just beginning. I love all of their products so much and have been planning this card out in my head since the last release in November. I hope you enjoy it!

To make this card I die cut my backdrop from white cardstock and then used distress inks and the Gingham Stencil and Ornaments Stencil to create backgrounds for my too cute Christmas Trimmings girls. I trimmed some glitter cardstock down for ground and added that to each panel.

Next, I set to work on my images from Christmas Trimmings, using the stamps and coordinating dies. I colored them with copic markers and added white gel pen accents and then laid out my card to started assembling.

I stamped my sentiment in the upper right box and popped up my gifts and ornament with foam squares. I added glossy accents to the ornament and Wink of Stella glitter brush to the gift boxes.

I popped up my next 2 girls and added glossy accents to the wrapping paper dots, scissors, and tree star and ornaments. The glitter here went on her hair bow and the Santa hat.

For this last fun girl, I popped her up with foam squares and added glossy accents to the light bulbs and ornaments in the box. I glittered the bow in the decorations box too.

I had so much fun keeping the color palette for this card limited to blue and teal tones. I just love those colors and it was a fun spin for a non-traditional Christmas card.

I hope you enjoyed this and find a little inspiration to create something beautiful!

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
