Scrap ‘n Stamp Festive Open House – #5

When Shellie and I were talking about samples that we wanted to make for the Festive Open House she said that she wanted to try something completely different and use lots of black on her cards. Black isn’t a color that I associate with Christmas but she’s very creative so I challenged her to see what she could come up with.

For her first card Shellie used the same Chinese Knot Chain punch that she used on the cards in Post #2 but this time she overlaid ribbon on top. The snowflake was cut out of black glossy cardstock using the Spellbinders Snowflake Pendant S4-286 and then layered the ornament digi image that she printed and colored onto red mirror cardstock. The silver shimmer cardstock used for the main card front gives a nice contrast. Just enough black on this card to make it interesting but she said she wanted to use LOTS of black. Well…hand on to your hat!

I think she was just getting warmed up because Shellie’s next card definitely used lots of black!

The card front is black glossy cardstock that was embossed and this was layered onto red glossy cardstock. Circles were die cut from all the pieces and acetate was attached to the inside of the card front to create  a window.

The center part of the snowflake was adhered to the acetate on the front and then she put the main part of  the snowflake on the inside on top of a black circle. Very cool!

Shellie added an extra white piece of cardstock  that she die cut with the same size circle on the inside of the card so you don’t see how the acetate was attached. It makes the inside look totally finished.

Thanks Shellie for thinking outside the box and showing us that you can use lots black on Christmas cards. I can’t wait to try making a window card like this. It is such a fun surprise when the inside of your card is all dressed up just like the outside!
