Make it Happy

Hi everyone!

Ilina here! I can't believe it's almost Christmas and also the end of the year! 

Today I am sharing a cheery card using the Cracking good stamp set and coordinating dies from Catherine Pooler Designs. 

This set is perfect to make New Years cards!!! I also used a coordinating paper pad called Snap Crackle Pop for my background.

To make the card, start by die cutting and stamping bunch of firecrakers:

• die cut the fire crackers from white cardstock. 
• Die cut a negative from contrasting color (I usually use black, navy, dark green etc) to use it as a template. 
• Place sticky mat in your MISTI and place your template for the die cuts. Make sure it's nice and secure. Put a bar magnet to keep the sticky mat in place
• Remove all the stamps from the printed acetate sheet (the sheet with the stamp images)
• Place one of the white die cuts into the template. 
• Position the stamp acetate sheet over it to line up the image with the die cut. Secure in place.
• Line up the stamp on top. Close the door of the MISTI to pick up the stamp. 
• Remove the acetate sheet and stamp :) 
• Repeat for all the images 

Next die cut a rectangle from the Ruffles and Dashes die set. Arrange firecrackers, adhere with foam tape and trim off the excess. Die cut a ruffled rectangle , to use as a mat for the firecrackers panel. Adhere them together.

Stamp sentiment in black and trim to a strip. Adhere to one of the firecrackers using foam tape. 

Cut patterned paper panel measuring 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere the stamped panel to it in an angle. Trim the excess and adhere to a top folding note card! 

You are DONE ;)
