'Twas The Night Before Christmas Card

Hi everyone! This is Elizabeth from 217 Creations. Lately I have been trying to use some of my cartridges that have been sitting.  BUT I just had to have the new Imagine Santa's Village cartridge. If you own an Imagine, I would rank this up high on "the must have list" with Lori's Garden and JT.  I love the look and feel of printed Kraft cardstock!

I started by taking an 8 1/2 by 11 in Kraft cardstock and placed it on the Imagine mat 1/4 inch in and 1/4 in down to the right.  Then I chose the 8.5 by 11 rectangle inside the Imagine Shapes.  I chose to fill the rectangle with this pattern. Then I set the Imagine to print only.

Next I used white textured cardstock to print and cut this Santa image at 4.0 inches in layers. I only used a few of the layers.  I usually print and cut all of them on an image and then I assemble and decide which ones to use. I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Gathered Twigs.

Next I used a top note shape from Art Philosophy cartridge, using more prints from Santa's Village.  I cut the image at 1/4 inch increments. I used pop dots to raise the layers.  The sentiment is from Pink By Design "Old Time Christmas" and was stamped using Distress Ink Gathered Twigs.

Finally I tied a strip of gold organza along the side.
