I sure do love the colors in this Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper! I like traditional Christmas colors with a bit of the unexpected, and that's just what this paper delivers. The Secret Sea with Real Red just makes my heart sing:)
This is a fun technique that allows you to make four cards at once. I call it the "Four in One Technique." Yeah, very clever name right? lol To make it, start off with a 10″ x 7-1/2″ sheet of cardstock that you score down the middle horizontally and vertically. Then you stamp around the edges In a controlled/random pattern. Think collage-ish style as you select stamps. Fellow demo, Mary Mary Nabe used the textured notes stamp set when she did this technique. Those turned out beautifully, but I needed Christmas cards so looked through my stash both current and retired and selected four stamps from different sets. I used the ink colors found in the Designer Paper. After you've stamped around the edges of each quadrant, you trim right on the score lines which gives you four card layers. You adhere these layers to card bases then add a greeting. And voila, you have a pretty card. To jazz mine up a bit, I REALLY decorated the inside, and the envelope flap as well.
