Day 22 – Holiday Card Series – Peace & Joy

Day 22 - Holiday Card Series

Happy Tuesday!

For today’s card, I broke out some more of BasicGrey’s Eskimo Kisses collection. Ya’ll know my fascination with small chipboard letters because they’re the perfect size for cards, right? These red woodgrain letters were just screaming to be put on a card! I group the chip alphas with the Eskimo Kisses paper, some Papertrey Ink ribbon, and on oldie-but-goodie Stampin’ Up! cardstock, Soft Sky. :)

NOTE: I’ve received a LOT of questions about the music included in the videos. It is a 10-second clip of royalty-free music I purchased online. It’s not a real song from an album. :)

Peace & Joy - Stampin’ Up! cardstock in Soft Sky; BasicGrey Eskimo Kisses patterned paper; BasicGrey Eskimo Kisses Chip ABCs; Papertrey Ink ribbon; Fiskars Threading Waters edge punch.

I’m loving your videos!! Thanks so much for taking the time to do them, I am a visual learner, so it is perfect for me.
I know you talked about ribbon in this video, and I actually have always wondered why you took so much ribbon, but I also wonder, do you throw away the scraps if you have a long piece leftover, or do you save the longer pieces of ribbon? And if you do save them, what do you do with them?

Kristina Werner December 1, 2009 at 9:52 am

No, I generally don’t save them. They’re usually a bit to short to use. :)

Another cute card. I really like the chipboard letters. It adds so much interest and dimension. Thanks.

Eveline van Heijst December 1, 2009 at 8:41 am

I love the chipboard letters from BG.
Great card. Only 3 cards to go! Can’t you just go on until Christmas?

Yummy!!! Good tip about using longer ribbon. Since one of your previous videos, I’ve been practicing with longer ribbon and making lots of little adjustments like you suggested and have been getting much prettier knots and bows! Your videos and explanations are SO helpful!!!
I hope you reply to Ara’s question, above, about what you do with the cut bits – I’d like to know too.

Love this card! I’ve been watching your posts religiously, no joke! How incredible that today is my 22nd birthday, and today is your 22nd card! Happy Tuesday indeed! Looking forward to the last 3 cards for your series. Question: Was there no Finally Friday card this past week?

Kristina Werner December 1, 2009 at 10:44 am

Nope! Took a Thanksgiving break. :)

Emmy December 1, 2009 at 10:06 am

Very pretty card! I can’t believe there are only 3 days left. This has been so fun!

Katy December 1, 2009 at 10:08 am

See you tomorrow!

Kristina, thank you for generously sharing your talent and time. I admire your dedication to your blog and craft.
You have inspired me to pay more attention to space, and design in my personal cardmaking.
Your 25 days of cards has passed way to quickly. I can only hope you will do another series of some kind in the new year!!!!

Lera December 1, 2009 at 10:56 am

This is surely one of my favs! Such pretty colors. It reminds me of a candy cane, I almost want to lick it!

Emma December 1, 2009 at 11:00 am

I absolutely adore the Eskimo Kisses Line by Basic Gray. Every time I go into the store to snatch it up it’s gone, empty, not there. =( Beautiful card!!! Love it as usual. =)

Vickie Lee December 1, 2009 at 1:23 pm

Simply ADORABLE!! I so enjoy your videos.Thank you so much!

Debra K December 1, 2009 at 7:09 pm

Love all your cards! Your videos are excellent. But alas, I grieve over those leftover ribbon ends in the trash! I challenge you to think of something cool to do with them. Video it and share it with us. Thanks always, love your blog.

Kristie December 1, 2009 at 8:03 pm

I have never used chip board on a card, I really should do it, this looks wonderful. Another great card!

Kimmie December 1, 2009 at 8:21 pm

One of my favorite things of scrap booking/card making are the small chipboard letters!!

This card is just too pretty.

elana k December 1, 2009 at 9:05 pm

Love this line and this cute card! Gotta get some of those little letters. :)

A tip for those wondering what to do with ribbon bits: something I do is on certain cards, instead of tying a whole bow, I add a little tab on the side or top of a card stock panel, secured with a brad or something-helps use up the scraps (hope that makes sense!)

karina December 1, 2009 at 10:09 pm
