Hi there!
Nathalie with you today to show you how easy you can transform Storyteller into Christmas cards. I know most of us are rather busy (even at home) during the holiday season. Well, let me show you two ideas to create cards in a flash, all you are going to need is patterned paper, a cutting template (cut file, dies or a good print and cut pattern), embossing ink and a few embellishments.
I kept my cards plain and simple, and easy to build, too!
For my JOYFUL card, I started with a piece of ripped tissue paper ( I happened to have a bit of gold from a present we had just opened). This was attached to a Foundation paper panel (4.5"x5.5") with a bit of Matte Acrylic Gel.
While the gel dried, I used a die from Altenew (Poinsettia Builder) to cut the Poinsettia from the Wild Child paper, and also fussy cut two of the Medley leaves. I simply glued them to the panel to form my focal point.
To finish the card, I mixed a bit of glitter with Matte acrylic gel to make my snow on the paper ( lots of glitter, little gel), then used it around the card. The sentiment comes from the 6x12 sticker sheet. Simple, easy and took no time to build it up.
For this card/tag, I am using one of the tags from the mini tag album. Here, I used Vicki's exclusive Christmas stamp to create the wreath in the middle of the tag. I simple heat embossed the image with gold powder.
I used FOundations paper to cut the J and Y, twice, using an Altenew Die. I glued them together so that they look like chipboard, and then attached them to the tag, so that they read JOY in a vertical way, with the wreath as the "O".
This time, I used a sentiment from the Sticker tablet, and a few of the puffy stars to embellish the tag! Simple and, once again, easy to put together!
I hope this inspires you to use Storyteller to create your Holiday crafts!
