Scrapbook.com – Ballerina & Nutcracker Card

| ullycatdesigns

Welcome to Day 7 of my Nutcracker series using a variety of stamps and die sets to make some nutcracker themed cards. My card today uses products by Scrapbook.com – Nutcracker paper collection and Nutcracker and Ballerina die set as well as and Spellbinders’ 3D embossing folder – Waffle Cone, Simon Hurley’s Better Press press plates & dies set Nutcracker Trio and Art Impressions Nutcracker stamp.

Watch the process video below to learn how this card was made.

Cardbase: I turned a top-folding A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) cardbase in white on its side to make a short side-fold horizontal card. Start with an 8.5×4.25-inch rectangle and fold in half. Cover the front and back with panels of patterned paper embossed with the Spellbinders’ 3D embossing folder – Waffle Cone.

Nutcracker & Ballerina: Using Scrapbook.com’s Nutcracker and Ballerina die set, create your nutcracker and ballerina as shown on packaging or in the video above.. (There are many teenie tiny pieces, so I found it easiest to glue pieces together as I cut them so I wouldn’t loose them.)

Sentiments: The sentiments are from Simon Hurley’s Better Press press plates & dies set Nutcracker Trio printed in red BetterPress ink and cut out using the matching dies in the set.

Envelope: The panel card fits into an A2 size envelope with a nutcracker on the envelope back using Hero Art’s Nutcracker stamp stamped in red ink.

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.
