STAMPIN' UP! CHRISTMAS CARD IN CRUMB CAKE

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop is all about Crumb Cake, my favourite neutral!

It took a bit of thinking, to come up with a design using Crumb Cake as the main colour on my card.  I'm used to using it in the background, with other colours taking the fore, but for tonight's card I wanted to keep the focus on Crumb Cake.  I've gone with a simple Crumb Cake and white colour palette, creating a Christmas card to add to my stash.

The main panel of my card started off as a Crumb Cake piece of card, stamped with the Knit Together background stamp, in Crumb Cake ink.  I have used some other elements of the Knit Together bundle, in conjunction with a few "bits" I already had on my craft table.  I die-cut the Basic White Christmas tree a while ago, and wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it.  Doesn't it make a nice feature of this card?  Before adding the tree to the card front, I die-cut some zig-zags from Crumb Cake card, and adhered them across the stamped background.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set, was stamped in Versamark ink, and heat-embossed in white, on a piece of Crumb Cake card.  I cropped the sentiment with a Seasonal Labels Die, and raised it up on Stampin' Dimensionals, on top of a Crumb Cake border piece cut with another die from the Knit Together bundle.  The zig-zags, tiny trees, and reindeer, are all cut from dies in this versatile bundle.

The strip of patterned paper across the bottom of the front panel is from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper pack.  The Baker's Twine Essentials pack provided just the right colours of twine I needed for my card.

I sponged around the edges of the main panel, the DSP, and the tiny reindeer, using Crumb Cake ink.
