This week we're excited to have our first Digital / Hybrid prompt at Jingle Belles sponsored by Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More. She provided Lauren & I with some great stamps to use on our cards … and she's also providing a free digital stamp (their wonderful Christmas Bell) for all Jingle Belles participants this week, so you have no excuse not to give it a try.
All you have to do is e-mail susan_paulson@verizon.net and request your free Jingle Belles Digital Image. We're thrilled they're offering this opportunity for everyone to try a digital stamp.
And … it gets even better … Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More will award one randomly selected Jingle Belles cardmaker a choice of either 5 digital stamps or 4 digital stamps & 1 paper pack.
I decided to go with digital paper piecing on my fun images … Corner Holly & Home for the Holidays. (here's a link to my prior tutorial, which also links to Kristina's video tutorial … and here's a link to another tutorial from Allison).
I used a variety of papers (most from Vera Lim) and a sentiment sticker from EAD Designs. To get the slightly white color for my snowman, I found a piece of paper with texture I liked and then removed the color from it in PhotoShop. I repeated various papers to help tie it all together (the green in the scarf, birdhouse, and holly leaves … the organge in the carrot nose, shoulder bag, and birdhouse).
When I was finished, I positioned my images in Word to printout my card design and added an EAD Designs Stickerz Sentiment. The great thing about digital paper piecing is that once I'm finished, I can easily print out lots of these for mass production if needed.
Such a fun card…I’m going to have to dig around for some digis…I know I have some…somewhere.
Your card is so cute. I love the snowman image and your computer work to help him come to life.
