Seasons Greetings Rudolph Card

Seasons Greetings Rudolph Card Project is what we have for you today. This card is perfect for anyone that you want to share some holiday cheer with. We are having an awesome sale on our website too! Be sure to check it out as it is the best sale of the year and it ends soon!

Now that we got the shopping out of the way… Are you ready to get crafty? Let’s get rollin! This is the adorable project we are creating – Seasons Greetings Rudolph Card Project!

Supplies Needed for the Seasons Greetings Rudolph Card Project

A Creative Journey with Melissa Fall and Winter Holiday Sentiments Stamp Set

Acrylic Stamp Block

Card Base (5.5″ square)

Patterned Paper for Card Mat (4.5″ square)

Memento Ink

Corner Rounder

Tim Holtz Reindeer Flight Die

Iridescent Sequins

3-D Foam  Adhesive circles

Clear Liquid Adhesive

Tape Runner (ATG)

Sizzix Die Cut Machine and Platforms

Red Spica glitter pen

White Twine

Scissors

Beginning with the Patterned Card Mat Paper and corner rounder, round the corners of all four sides of your paper.

Take out your A Creative Journey with Melissa Fall and Winter Holiday Sentiments Stamp Set Acrylic Stamp Block  and Memento Ink.

Peel off your Seasons Greetings Stamp and adhere to your acrylic stamp block.

Ink your stamp and stamp your sentiment on your patterned mat paper.

      

Take out your Tim Holtz Reindeer Flight Die.

You will also need your Paper to die cut your reindeer as well as a Die Cut Machine and Die cut platforms. Place your paper on top of the die cut area on your die.

Using a clear platform, place one under your die and one on top of the paper you are cutting. Run the die cut “sandwich” through your die cut machine.

This is what the deer die cut will look like once cut for your Seasons Greetings Rudolph Card Project.

Take out your Red Spica glitter pen and color the end of the reindeer nose.

Take out your 3-D foam circles and place them on the back of the reindeer.

*Creative Tip: When you are finished using the foam circles, be sure to use the rest of the material as well. It works great for any area and you can cut it to any size or shape you need from what is left!

This is a perfect example of using the excess for a perfect shape of the head for the reindeer!

Remove the paper from the 3-D foam and place your reindeer on your stamped patterned card mat.

      

Place adhesive on your card front.

Place your reindeer card mat on top of the card front. Your Seasons Greetings Rudolph Card Project is coming along nicely.

Cut a notch out of the top of the card and on the bottom only the front panel. You are doing this for the white twine.

Push your twine from the back of the card through to the front and repeat twice.

Tie your twine in a bow as shown and cut off the excess twine with your scissors.

*Creative Tip: Rather than retie your bow, if you gently bend your paper you can adjust where your bow is by moving your twine. Once you have it where you want it, gently release the bend and you are ready to go!

Using liquid adhesive with sequins, you will want a precise applicator tip. This liquid glue is perfect for the sequin application.

Place a small dot of liquid adhesive on each sequin and place on the card front.

Here you can see on the left there is a more specific pattern for the Seasons Greetings Rudolph Card Project while the right card has a more scattered set of sequins on the card front.

Stamp block

Rhinestones & rhinestone quick stix tool

Adhesive

3-D pop dots

Scissors

Silver twine

Card

Card Mat

Paper to stamp sentiment on

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-c

This is the Snowflake Stamped Card I created.

Notice the bling on the purple snowflakes. I think it gives a little pop to the creation along with the silver twine.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-d

To start creating your Snowflake Stamped Card, take out your card base, mat, stamp paper and stamp block.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-e

Take out your Snowflake Beauty stamp set and remove the stamps you are going to use on this project.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-f

Add the snowflake stamp to your stamp block.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-g

Take your purple ink pad out. Stamp your snowflake stamp on your Snowflake Stamped Card base. Re-ink your stamp for every image you stamp on your paper to ensure clarity and consistency.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-h

This is what the base will look like once you have stamped the purple snowflakes.

Clean off your stamp and place it back on your stamp sheet.snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-i

Take out the next snowflake you wish to use for your Snowflake Stamped Card. Place it on your stamp block

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-j

Take your silver ink and ink your stamp. Stamp your card mat for your Snowflake Stamped Card.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-k

This is a close up of the silver stamped image. Now you will want to re-ink your stamp for every image you stamp on your paper to ensure clarity and consistency for your Snowflake Stamped Card.

Clean off your stamp and place it back on your stamp sheet.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-m

For the Snowflake Stamped Card, you want to take out your last snowflake stamp, white ink and ink pad. Place your stamp on your stamp block. Be sure you are re-inking your stamp for every image you stamp on your paper to ensure clarity and consistency for your Snowflake Stamped Card.

Clean off your stamp and place it back on your stamp sheet.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-n

This is what the card mat looks like once it has been stamped. I love how the white snowflakes are barely visable almost as if they are a watermark.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-o

Decide which sentiment you want for the card. Take off the sentiment, place it on your stamp block and ink the stamp. Stamp the sentiment on the paper.

Clean off your stamp and place it back on your stamp sheet.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-p

Using your tag punch, punch out your sentiment for your Snowflake Stamped Card.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-r

Apply adhesive to the back of the stamped mat paper. Place the snowflake stamped paper on the card base for your Snowflake Stamped Card.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-s

Now you will need your silver twine. This is something that can be really versatile for any celebration!

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-v

Wrap your silver twine around your punched out tag three times (or whatever you prefer) and tie a knot.

Take out your 3-d dots.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-x

Apply three (or however many you feel you need) 3-d dots. Remove the paper on the back of the dots to expose the adhesive.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-y

Place the tag to the card base.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-za

This is what the card looks like once it is finished. Although it looks great like this, I would prefer a little bit more bling to add that pop to your Snowflake Stamped Card.

Pull out your rhinestones and your quick stix tool.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-zc

Remove a rhinestone from the sheet by using the quick stix tool. Place the rhinestone on the stamped card mat. For my original Snowflake Stamped Card, I chose to place it on the purple snowflakes. For this Snowflake Stamped Card, I decided to use the rhinestones on the silver snowflakes.

snowflake-stamped-card-with-giveaway-ze
