The newest SweetMissDaisy Designs release is brimming with sweet holiday cheer, and since I adore making Christmas cards, I’m diving headfirst into Christmas in July! 🎄✨
For this festive card, I decided to go a little off the beaten path and embrace a warm, honey-yellow color palette. Using Distress Inks and stencils, I created a glowing background and added some shimmer by heat-embossing over the top. Once the background was dry, I popped it into my Original MISTI with a Sticky Mat to hold everything perfectly in place.
I stamped the star and gingerbread border three times across the background, setting the stage for my star of the show—this absolutely adorable angel! I stamped her on a separate layer and colored her in a soft Sunflower Yellow and Blue Gray combo that makes her really shine. Isn’t she darling with her little gingerbread buddy and starry attire?
The sentiment banner is quite small, so I returned to my Sticky Mat to make sure nothing shifted during stamping. To ensure perfect alignment, I used my Alignment Grids—crooked sentiments are unacceptable!
This charming angel was a joy to color thanks to the MISTI and My Sweet Petunia tools; she magically enhances holiday cardmaking!
Tools I love and use often:
