Christmas Card Club - July 2023

Today I’m sharing my first Christmas Card Club project of 2023.

Christmas Card Club is where those who have signed up make 2 of a pre-designed card using the class kit and instruction from a YouTube video tutorial. The projects are made in their own time with a new video released on the 25th of each month (July-November).

For July’s project, I chose to make some Christmas baubles.

Using the Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP for the baubles meant that I had many colours to choose from. As I wanted a green shade, I chose Pretty Peacock for my basecard and stamping layer.

First a splat design from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set was stamped tone-on-tone on the background piece.

Next the lengths of Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon were added.

Then, punched circle shapes were covered with strips of the Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP, with the overhang carefully trimmed away. This leaves lots of scrap pieces to make some more baubles.

These were then stuck over the lengths of ribbon, with the central bauble raised up on Dimensionals.

Finally, a bunny ears bow was added to the top of the central bauble.

The process is then repeated for the second card.
