Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly - Kraft Card / Stamping With Melva

Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly - Kraft Card

Tuesday, 22 November 2022

During a recent Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp, I challenge everyone to make a card inspired by a picture of a Mince Tart. I had no idea what cards everyone would create. It was so much fun to see how everyone was inspired by the picture in different ways. Have you ever looked at a picture or saw something when you were out and about that you have used as an inspiration for?

First, here's the picture that I used as the challenge. What would you have created?

Now, here' my card. I used the colours and the layout as my inspiration. What do you think?

It was fun to create a card using Kraft Paper. I don't use it much. Definitely a bit of a vintage feel to this card with the sponging and the colours.

Instructions

Cut Early Espresso Cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". Fold and burnish on scoreline with Bone Folder to form card base
Cut Cherry Cobbler cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
Adhere to card base
