Carussell Crafts: Split Panel card

Hello & welcome everyone to Week 12 of the Heart of Christmas by the Art With Heart team.

Following on from my post last week, I'm sharing one of the two cards we made in our last card class. I'll feature the second card in next week's Heart of Christmas.

You might recall my #Elfie Split Panel cards that I shared in Week 9 - if not you can click here for a refresher.
We hadn't made a Split Panel card in class before, so it was a good chance for the ladies to try something new and different - and they loved it!

To coordinate with my tissue box cover from last week, I've used products from the Wrapped In Plaid suite. I used Cherry Cobbler for the card base and matched it with this lovely pattern from the designer paper pack. The tree and sentiment are from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set.
The sparkly baubles on the tree are rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels, and the copper star on top of the tree is a Star Designer Element from the Brightly Gleaming suite.

On the inside I have used the largest of the Stitched Rectangles Dies for the writing panel, and stamped the outline tree in Cherry Cobbler. I stamped it low in the bottom right hand corner so that when the card is closed, it can't be seen.

This is a really simple and easy design, but you can change the whole look of it with any of Stampin' Up!'s amazing product suites.

Hello everyone.
Here we are at Week 9 of the Heart of Christmas by the Art With Heart Team.

I've been busy playing and creating with the fun stamp set called #Elfie from the Holiday Catalogue.

Stampin' Up!© #Elfie Stamp Set

Tonight I'm sharing two cards with you.

I have made these cards in the Split Panel design. This was my first attempt at this type of fold, and I really love the results.

The base of this card is Pool Party and I've used a pattern from the Wrapped In Plaid 6" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper, to compliment the Stampin' Blends colours I've used to colour in #Elfie - Pool Party and Cherry Cobbler. I love all of the patterns in this DSP, the plaid designs are gorgeous and the reverse side has all sorts of festive prints. I've chosen the reverse side of the plaid designs for both of my cards. Elfie was die-cut with a Stitched Rectangles die, matted with a slightly larger piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and then another Stitched Rectangle in Pool Party. I centred the stamped panel and glued into place at the top and added the bottom section making sure it was lined up with the bottom edge of the card.

Do you like the sign?

I stamped the image in Memento black ink onto a small section of the woodgrain pattern from the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper. After fussy-cutting it out, I backed it with two layers of Soft Suede cardstock for extra strength and dimension. Before the Tombow glue dried completely, I trimmed the excess cardstock to the size of the sign and by doing this, it gave me the look you can see in the photo above. I was really impressed with it!
I added Shimmery Crystal Effects glue to the globe at the top of the pole, and little rays of sparkle with the Wink of Stella brush pen.

The Wink of Stella worked it sparkly magic onto Elfie's clothes too!

Inside I matted the Whisper White writing panel onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler, and then attached to the card. I added a narrow strip of the DSP to the bottom and a rhinestone from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels pack. The lovely verse is also from the #Elfie stamp set.

Snowflakes in Pool Party stamped over sponged areas in Pool Party, add a softness to the Whisper White and help to fill in an otherwise empty space. I stamped first and second generation ink to get the variation of colour.
Elfie's pom-pom is a large Cherry Cobbler rhinestone and the other three rhinestones are in Coastal Cabana - all from the Holiday Rhinestones pack.

Here is my second card using a Night of Navy cardbase.

This time I heat embossed Elfie using the Shimmer Black embossing powder. I used Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy and Shaded Spruce Stampin' Blends to colour the stocking and hat. (In both cards, I coloured the face in Petal Pink.) I sponged area's on the Whisper White panel in Night of Navy, very lightly, and heat embossed silver snowflakes. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set - stamped in Cherry Cobbler and die-cut with a Stitched Rectangle die once, then re-aligned and cut again to get the smaller size. It's matted with a little bit of Cherry Cobbler and then added with dimensionals to the Shaded Spruce die-cut banner from the Ornate Frames Dies. I've matted the stamped panel the same as the first card. I did add some Silver Foil behind the designer paper this time.

Inside the card I matted the Whisper White writing panel to a piece of Silver Foil then a slightly larger piece of Cherry Cobbler before adding to the base of the card. I sponged the bottom corner with Night of Navy and heat embossed more silver snowflakes.

I had so much fun creating these cards - I'm sure it's because of this fun and happy little stamp set!
