Всем привет!
В блоге 7 Дотс Студио вышли разом два моих первых поста! В предпраздничное время покажу вам аж три открытки, одна из них будет с видео. Всех с наступающим!

Hello! 

It´s my first time on the 7 Dots Studio blog as a new DT member! So exciting!!!

The timing is perfect, so I decided to make two Christmas / New Year cards using our marvelous YULETIDE collection. I took the “Chestnuts” sheet and used both sides of it as background for my cards. Later on, I added some texture paste pattern onto the surfaces and multiple layers of embellishments. Among them, you can see some pieces of out patterned paper (“Sugarplum”).

The tags from the corresponding collection, some chipboard, die cuts, flowers, leaves… as well as little cheerful cuttings from a magazine (yes, the cinnamon, the orange slice, the nuts are all magazine scraps. I added some gold paint and glitter here and there and got a pair of curious Christmas cards to give to my friends.

Enjoy the magical time of the year! 

And don´t forget to add your festive creations to our December challenge!

Присоединяйтесь к декабрьскому заданию!!!

And a quick tutorial on how I created this rustic Christmas card.

I used the wooden texture of the “Chestnuts” sheet from the YULETIDE collection and enhanced it with mixed media materials like transparent 3D gel, colored sand, and white gesso. I kept the decorations simple in order not to hide the beauty of background. Among the embellishments, you can see tags from the same collection. The backside of the card and the inner money pocket are made of “Sugarplum” paper sheet.

From the video, you can also learn how to incorporate natural moss into such a simple scrapbooking project like a Christmas card. Adding natural materials usually gives this extra cozy feeling to your papercraft projects.
