Happy Holidays

Hi There! Today, I’m sharing a cute holiday scene card using the 'off-the-edge die cutting' technique. I came across this cool technique on Jennifer McGuire's YouTube channel recently and thought of give it a go. I was totally inspired by her technique! It was so easy to make this card with the help of her step by step, crisp and clear instruction.

For this card, I used the little car stamp from Lawn Fawn - Home for the Holidays set and ‘happy’ sentiment die from Happy Lawn Cuts die set. First, I drew a pencil line on a Neenah Solar white cardstock and arranged the dies of the stamp and sentiment. I positioned the car wheels and edge of happy sentiment die right below the pencil line. Then, I placed my cutting plate lined up with the pencil line and run it through my Cuttle Bug machine. Next, I used my MISTI tool to stamp the coordinating car image and colored it with Copic marker. For the happy sentiment, I die cut the sentiment and inked the top with Candid Apple distress ink and Hickory Smoke. I adhered it on the partially die cut sentiment.

Next, I moved on to create the road. I masked off the car image and inked up the bottom part of it with Hickory Smoke and Black Soot distress ink. Then, I die cut the grass border using Lawn Fawn - Grassy Border die and inked it up with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn distress ink. I pulled the holiday sentiment from Lawn Fawn - Winter Penguin set and stamped it below the happy sentiment. To give a little dimension to the overall card, I adhered the partially die cut card along with the grass border card on to the base card using foam tape. I finished off the card by adding some stitched line on the road using white gel pen. I absolutely enjoyed making this card with this great technique.
