Another new challenge has started on the CRAFT Challenge blog. The theme this week is to make a project with non-traditional Christmas colours. So to meet the challenge I made a Christmas slimline card.

The sponsor this week is:

For this Christmas slimline card, I also got to work with one of their digital stamps. The name of this stamp is “Santa Cute Helper”.

So let’s talk about this card.

You need a white piece of card stock to make the base of the card. This is 21 centimeters by 21 centimeters. You score at 10,5 centimetres

Making the slider piece.

I wanted this cute lady to snowboard off a mountain of snow. And the best part, of course, is when she moves. So I decided to make a slider card.

From a piece of white paper, I cut a hill of snow. I first drew on the white paper exactly how I wanted it and then cut it out.
The width of the hill had to be 20.5 centimetres. After that, I just looked at what I liked best for the hill to start from.

Then I cut the sliding part in. I drew this where I wanted it, then cut it out of the paper.

With a little circle die, I cut a circle from white paper. On that circle, I put some foam tape and placed my image on it. So the image can slide.

Decorating the card.

Now its time to decorate the card. Because it is a Christmas card with non-traditional colors I wanted the background to match with that.

The background paper comes from this papercraft set from Decotime Crafts. I bought this one last year but still had a lot of paper left over. So I thought this designer paper would go perfectly with this card.

The trees come from this Luxe paper block from Decotime. You can currently buy it at ActionNL. So I placed the trees behind the hill from the snow.

For the finishing touch, I placed some Deco Snow on top of the hill.

And now the card is finished.
