Bargello Christmas Card

By
It's been a while since I took part in Technique Tuesday - sorry Mynnette, but I am rectifying that now! The technique this month is Bargello and the step by step tutorial is laid out beautifully on Mynnette's blog for you to follow.
I am not new to this technique and have done it before take a look HERE and HERE - today I thought I would have another go as it is such a great technique and a great way of using up scrap pieces of decorative paper.
Today I have come over all Christmassy - take a look


I am frantically using up as many scraps as I can at the moment and this I think is probably the last of my Just Add Cake DSP and the two together look very festive don't you think?
On to my Bargello background I have added a panel of Whisper White card stock to which I then added my three Christmas Trees - can you see that I've made them 3D? I did that by stamping the tree six times with the stamp from Pennant Parade and then punching it out using the Pennant punch.


Fold them all in half and glue two together - they look a bit like a paper aeroplane - when you stick then down they appear 3D but will also fold flat for posting.
The colours I have used for my stamping are: Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade (retired) and Chocolate chip, my stamp set is Pennant Parade with the matching Pennant punch and my card stock is Poppy Parade (retired).
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

    Afternoon Jacqueline, thank you so much for joining us at Technique Tuesday this month, we really do appreciate the effort you make and hope to see you again next month. I love your Bargello background! I hadn't thought to use two shades to create such a designer effect. Lovely Christmas card hugs Karen, TT Crew

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
