❄️ Believe in Santa Claws ❄️

Balleigh Monster card by Leigh

My ‘Tis the Season Blog Hop finale inspiration for you today is the festive quirky cute Santa Claws Balleigh Monster card I made for my nephew❄️

 

 

I had some much fun watercolour painting Santa Claws Balleigh Monster as a cheeky lil snowball!

 

 

 Doesn’t that grin just make you smile!

 

He's super cute in his Santa Hat and belt....I fussy cut just the white fluffy trim and pompom and the belt from another print and layered over the top of the main image.  I coloured his belt buckle and sneaker laces with a metallic gold gel pen.

 

 

 For lots of pretty sparkle I applied Crystal Stickles glitter to his hat pompom and hat trim and clear Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to his snowball body, arms and the present's bow.  I fussy cut out a 2nd bow and glued it in place at the knot to create lots of fun dimension on the present.

 

 

I then layered both panels onto dark red cardstock and mounted them onto gorgeous white glitter card....in the sunlight the whole card glitters prettily like diamonds.

 

The "believe in santa claws" senti is 1 of 2 versions included in the Santa Claws Balleigh Monster set!

 

 

This is such a fun and festive card perfect for all ages❄️

🍁 Merry Craftmas Sandy Oddleigh Wreath 🍁

impossible card by Leigh

My ‘Tis the Season Blog Hop inspiration for you today is a festive quirky cute 3D pop up impossible card featuring my new Merry Craftmas Sandy Oddleigh Wreath, Merry Craftmas senti from the Crafty Sandy Oddleigh set plus the Craftmas Collage❄️

 

SHOP THE WINTER SALE!

 This was such a fun card to make but it took a few weeks to complete with all my ongoing back and wrist issues😖 but I loved every second of it and how it turned out🥰

 

The Merry Craftmas Sandy Oddleigh Wreath is bursting with festive crafty goodness.  I coloured the design with Copics and Prismacolour pencils and added white gel pen highlights and metallic gold detailing.  Plus lots of Viva Pearl magic transparent white gel dimension, Crystal Stickles sparkle and Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen shimmer.

 

 

I fussy cut out the Merry Craftmas Sandy Oddleigh Wreath and matching off set shadow mat with my Silhouette Cameo 4.

 

For the construction of the impossible card I completely modified a Silhouette Design Store cut file by Snapdragon Snippets.  I used a heavy weight white cardstock for the base construction and coloured it with Black Soot Distress Ink with sponged on Tarnished Brass Distress Stain Spray for a mottled effect.

 

The Merry Craftmas senti is from the Crafty Sandy Oddleigh set and I coloured it with white Dylusions paint pen and embellished the rubber stamp with 3D sparkle gel and Stickles glitter and edged with glitter too.

I used the fabulous Craftmas Collage to make the 2 "L" shaped panels and printed the design out onto the Distress Oxide background mixed media cardstock I made using Candied Apple, Festive Berries and Worn Lipstick with Tarnished Brass Distress Spray Stain splatters.  I also edged all the cut outs with Black Soot Distress Ink.

 

 

A single Holly Sprig is included in the Merry Craftmas Sandy Oddleigh Wreath which I printed and fussy cut out 4 times to embellish the 4 corners of the card base.  I curled the leaves over my paint brush handle to give them dimension and applied Viva Pearl magic transparent shimmer gel to the berries and Crystal Stickles glitter to the leaves.

 

 

I hand cut a smaller version of the sentiment label for the other side of the card and edged it with Spectrum Noir Midas gold pigment ink.  I wrote my Christmas message on it with a gold gel pen😉

A closer look at all the magical dimension and sparkle!

 

Of course she has glitter on her cute little nose and all over her hands😁

 

 

The card is called "impossible" coz of the cut that creates the pop-up.  The base starts out flat with 2 "L" shaped panels with one as the mirror image and the short side of the "L's" attached.

 

 

Then cut the "L" panels apart up the middle leaving them attached along the top edge crease where the pop-up part joins.  I then flipped the left side "L" backwards and the 2 label cuts bridge the gaps between the panels to keep the base sturdy.

 

 

I created a center strut for the pop-up and sandwiched it between the Merry Craftmas Sandy Oddleigh Wreath and the matching mat panel.  The whole card folds flat for mailing and I added a little easel stand on the back to help the pop up wreath stand up nicely once on display.

Soooo much fun, LOL!
