Hello! Today, I am sharing three takes with the same die set from the Spellbinders A Sweet Christmas Collection by Sharyn Sowell. All three of the CAS holiday cards showcase the Santa Parade set which is part of this fabulous collection.
The parade die measures a generous 7″ x 3″. With little effort, this set packs a big punch! I cut the parade out of black cardstock, glitter cardstock, and white cardstock, which I colored with Distress Inks. On all three cards, the bases are 7 ¼” x 4″; the rectangle backgrounds are 7″ x 3 ¾”.
For the card featuring the black cardstock parade silhouette, I used a sentiment from the same die set. I cut the sentiment twice from brushed gold cardstock for extra depth; I used the same gold cardstock for the base.
I heat-embossed a Hero Arts sentiment for the card on which I cut the parade from glitter cardstock. The gray cardstock base lends a cozy feel with the patterned paper .
On my final card, I used Distress Inks in Festive Berries, Barn Door, and Fired Brick to color white cardstock before cutting the cardstock with the parade die. I heat-embossed the Hero Arts sentiment on to the solid teal cardstock rectangle. To finish, I sprinkled on Taylored Expressions sequins.
That parade is a fabulous silhouette; and surprisingly to me I love the red ombre the best.
Three fab cards with that Santa parade. Jean!! Especially love the white one with the snowflake pattern!!
Love them all, and how fun to see the similar project looks so different in different color schemes.
