HCBC Week 1 Card 1 - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

After going through Summer Card Boot Camp, I just had to sign up for the Holiday Card Boot Camp. It was so much learning and inspiration for me previously and I know it's going to be more learning and inspiration on this one.

Day 1 is about places where we get inspirations from and here is my card inspired by Jennifer McGuire.

I cut the star and the bow using my Silhouette. The star was white embossed and inked with Shabby Shutters, Crushed Olive, Forest Moss and Evergreen Bough distress inks. It's not clear from the picture but there's a shine on the star as I brushed perfect pearls over.

Supplies Used:

Paper - PTI Rustic Cream, Vintage Cream, DCWV Citrus Cardstock Stack, AC Neutrals

Inks - Distress Ink Shabby Shutters,  Crushed Olive, Forest Moss, Evergreen Bough, SU Chocolate Chip

Stamps - Hero Arts Tiny Flakes,  PTI Christmas Poinsettias (Sentiment)

Others - Silhouette, Zing White Embossing Powder, Ranger Perfect Pearls, Sizzix Evergreen Embossing Folder, Studio G Red Gems, 1/8" 3D Dots,  WRMK 1/2" Corner Chomper, PTI Holly Die

Card 23 - Happy Birthday

My sister's birthday is just a day after my mum's. We have totally different styles. I'm more of a clean and simple while she is the elaborated, frills & layers type so it was a challenge thinking how to approach the card I wanted to do for her. Well I'll definitely look for more inspiration from the other crafters online and explore further through trial and error.

For now, here is the completed card.
