The cards I have seen on Pinterest use a short word like 'Noel' or 'Joy' because they are created with steel letter dies and need to be cut in a straight line and have no repeating letters. However, since I was using my Cricut, I did not have these limits. I chose to cut 'Ho Ho Ho' and decided to use the Art Deco font. I simply sliced the words from the 5.25 x 4.0 designer paper rectangle, duplicated the letters in red twice and cut a red 5.5 x 4.25 mat and that's it!
Next I glued the designer paper mat to the red backing mat, then stacked and glued the Ho Ho Ho's together making sure the designer paper was on the top. I added strips of foam tape to the back of the letters and matching the design, I glued them back in the designer paper mat. Lastly I added the insides of the O's.
You can see how the letters are stacked here. I added a silhouette of Santa and his sleigh from the Christmas cart, and added a Santa from A Quilted Christmas inside.
The stamped sentiment comes from Sunny Studio. The magic of this card comes as you move it about and the words pop out at you. Really kinda cool! Quick and easy too!
Of course, by the time I'd finished playing with my card design, the challenge was over. : ) Good job there's a new one every week! Thanks for visiting today. : ) Christine
