Global design project Christmas

It’s time for another fun project with @global_design_project! Challenge #GDP507 is all about Christmas, and luckily my order arrived just in time for me to sneak this in before it closes!

I had so much fun creating this card using the adorable new set “Long Time No See” — how cute is this doggy in a striped sweater tangled up in Christmas lights? 😍🐾

I didn’t have any current Christmas DSP on hand, but no worries! I used a green strip for the background and stamped the rest with some festive accents from the set. A little improvising goes a long way!

Instructions:

Create Card Base
Start with a white card base (standard A2: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2").
Background Layers
- Take 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 white cardstock Cut a strip of green DSP for background, Then lightly trace a pencil line over the edge of the DSP
- Stamp and color string lights across top and bottom edges of your the pencil line you just made.
- Using the long sweater stamp and create a border for top and bottom.
Stamp and Colour
- Stamp the dachshund on white cardstock. then stamp the lights around the dogs neck and leading do to the ground creating little pile of lights.
- Colour the dog the Christmas lights and boarder.
- Fussy cut the dog and the connecting lights.
