December 2021 Card Kit Inspiration with Kristina Werner

Hello, all! Kristina Werner here with some inspiration using the December 2021 Card Kit! I created four one-layer cards using the cardstock and stamps from the kit.
First I cut down and scored the Lipstick Red and Aubrey Blue cardstock in the kit, making four card A2 card bases. I also temporarily taped them closed with a bit of low tack tape so I could work with them without them opening.

Using the Santa’s Helpers stamp set, I stamped the row of hanging ornaments and “Happy Holidays” in VersaMark ink on all for cards. Using the MISTI for all the stamping makes it super easy to stamp each card in the same position. After stamping, I applied gold embossing powder and heat set the powder.

Then I got to the blending–my favorite part! For the red cards, I used Merlot and Intense Black inks from Simon. For the blue cards, I used Teal and Soft Navy inks.

To finish off the cards, I added small pops of white with a white gel pen.
Thanks for stopping by! You can pick up the December 2022 Card Kit HERE, or subscribe for this kit and future kits HERE.
