Nativity Stamp | 3D Pop-Up Card | Hedgehog Hollow Guest Design

Nativity Scene

 

Hey crafty friends! This is Donna from Creative Pixie Designs and I am so excited to share my second post as a guest designer for The Hedgehog Hollow using the November 2020 kit.

I wanted to make a scene card using all of the images from the Nativity Stamp and thought that a 3D Pop-Up Card was a perfect choice.

To begin the card, I created an A7 card base out of black card stock. I cut the card stock down to 7” by 10”, then scored it at 5”. To create the pop-up element, I took the left-over strip of cardstock and trimmed it down to 1 ½” by 7, then scored the piece at 3/8”, 5/8” and 1 1/8”. This will make more sense in the video.

After attaching the pop-up element, I created the Nativity scene. I ink blended a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock with Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot. Once the panel was dry, I spritzed the panel with water and blotted it dry. Then I added white splatters to create stars and create a ton of texture. I created a second piece of ink blended panel for the ground by ink blending Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. And finally, I die cut the panel with Kinetic Waves Die Set by Whimsy Stamps.

Hanukkah Sameach | The Joyous Festival | Hedgehog Hollow Guest Design

Menorah

Hey crafty friends! I am thrilled to be guest designing for The Hedgehog Hollow using the November 2020 kit. The November Box is packed full of goodies relating to the upcoming holiday season!

As luck would have it, this month the kit includes a Hannukah stamp set, which I have been looking to add to my collection for a while.  I begin with a Hannukah inspired card and combined it with the beautiful pattern paper.

Using a stitched A2 sized rectangle die, I die cut the snowflake pattern paper. Next, I wanted to create a focal panel and add the stamped image. I debated on the background and settled on a blue inked background to match the pattern paper.

I began with a piece of powder blue cardstock cut down to 3” by 4.25” and ink blended the panel using Hero Arts’ Dusty Blue, Catherine Pooler’s Something Borrowed, and Distress Ink in Chipped Sapphire. It took some effort to build up the ink layers, but I love the end result.

Once the panel was completely dry, I stamped the Menorah using VersaMark ink and added silver embossing powder. I added a little sparkle to the Menorah with a sparkle gel pen. Of course, I had to add some splatters to the front panel and finished this card by adding the panel with foam adhesive to the background.

I will be back later in the month to share another fun project using the contents of the November kit. As always thank you so much for stopping by, until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!
