Hi friends!
I can hardly believe that Christmas Day is less than a week away. This year, the season has seemed to really fly by faster than ever!
This past weekend we had our annual Ukuleles for Salvation Army sing thing...we had over 20 players but by the time we got around to taking a photo, just over half were left.
Here is a close-up of the fresh flower lei po'o I made to wear as a hat band on my papale lauhala.
My Stamp Simply project for this week is a twisted gate fold card using a variety of stamps from some of our Christmas sets and our Church/Worship series. I started with bright Christmas green paper from Craft Consortium Ink Drops Organic. In lieu of pearly metallic gold paper (I ran out, need to order more) I used a sheet of gold dotted Swiss from Echo Park My Favorite Spring as a mat for this lovely angel.
I stamped the Glad Tidings sentiment directly onto the green designer paper, first with Memento ink, then over-top with the shimmery metallic Delicata.
Inside there is another verse stamped directly onto designer paper, this time a sheet from Craft Consortium Beach Hut. (I suppose this bright green design, even with its diluted acrylic paint "snow," is an ode to Christmas in Florida where you never know if it'll be shorts or sweaters!)
In this open, "inside" view you can see the score lines and mechanics of the card. It's a 10.5 inch wide x 5.5 inch tall card base, scored at 3 1/2 and 7. The two outside ends are scored diagonally from corner to corner, parallel to each other.
Just as an fyi, depending on your combination of stamps and their orientation, you could choose to flip the scored card stock over, which would change the angle of the tilt from right to left leaning. (Whereas here the diagonals run top-left to bottom right, when flipped they're top-right to bottom-left). And you can change the proportions of the card, so long as the width is divisible by three.
