Welcome to Day 5 of my Nutcracker series using a variety of stamps and die sets to make some nutcracker themed cards. My card today uses products by Spellbinders – Simon Hurley’s BetterPress press plates & dies set Nutcracker Trio and Dina Wakley Media’s BetterPress inks of Eggplant, Fir and Ruby.
Watch the process video below to learn how this card was made.
Cardbase: I used a purchased kraft paper A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) cardbase and matching envelope.
Nutcrackers & Plaid Background: The plaid background was created using the Spellbinder’s BetterPress of the Month – Design A Plaid press plate set using red and green ink. The nutcrackers and sentiment are from Simon Hurley’s Better Press press plates & dies set Nutcracker Trio printed in purple, red and green. The inside sentiment banner is from the Design A Plaid set.
Envelope: The panel card fits into an A2 size envelope with a nutcracker and “fa la la la la la la la la” on the envelope back using Karen Burniston’s Season of Cheer and Hero Art’s Nutcracker stamp.
