Joy-Peace on Earth Christmas ATC

 Hi Y'all

Digging into the Suzanne Cannon Silhouette Store Designer archives!

for a quick ATC with a cut file and a print and cut file.

I love giving ATCs as they love lovely on a mantel, or you can punch a hole and hang them on a tree, or regift them as a gift tag!

After cutting I embossed with a Sizzix folder, inked with gold on the flat side

and painted the raised with some iridescent watercolors.

Slipped a scrap of glittery christmas paper behind the card.

The back is the cut file, add some fill color and print, set the design to no cut 

and just cut the card outline.

ATC Gift Tags-ho ho ho, twinkle & sparkle, joy, merry christmas,peace on earth, merry & bright

Hi Y'all Robyn here showcasing the versatility of Suzanne's digital files.

Finished ATC gift tags.

Have you spoken to Santa about a digital cutter under the tree?

These designed are sketched with pens, rather than cut.

 Raw materials!

On the mat the files are various sizes

To create ATCs, choose the rectangle function and draw a box 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" and  resize the file to fit.

Note the size change in merry and bright.

To sketch, go to the cut window and select just the word to cut, no cut on the outline of the card.

Scribble a bit with the pen, these are Sakura Stardust, and insert the pen into your pen holder. 

Place a popsicle stick under the pen to get the correct placement of the tip.

Be sure to do a test "cut" to make sure the pen is sketching correctly.

Using 80lb Neenah Classic Crest use Speed 5, Pressure 33.

DO NOT move the mat when it finishes sketching.

Replace the pen holder with your blade.

I use the CB 09 holders and blades, 65 for these fine cuts.

Go back to the cut window- select no cut for the words, and cut for the outline.

Some cards are  thermal embossed with clear embossing powder. 

You have time!

If you want to do less coloring, fill the letters with internal offsets.

Now embellish to your hearts content!

Ho Ho Ho

Stamp is from the vast selection of QF snowflakes!

Embossing powder is Ranger Christmas tree!

 Joy works both ways!

 The plan was to add , To: From: to the top of this card and I can't find the stamp!

Merry & Bright

Christmas is the day

 

Merry Christmas

plain and simple

 Peace on Earth

My christmas wish ( hold the flakes!)

 Twinkle & Sparkle

These are quick and easy. Please give them a try!

Peace On Earth - May You Have - Easel

Yogi here today with an easel card using one of the newest digital cutting files from Suzanne as a focal point. These words just begged to be made big...

This is what the file looks like available on the Silhouette onLine store

I'm also using a quote from Quietfire Design "May You Have The Gladness..."

Scored, and folded my golden toned beige cardstock to create the easel (6"w x 6"h). Cut another piece the same size as my card and adhered to front.

Electronically cut the "Peace on Earth" using SCAL (Sure Cuts a Lot software) and my Silhouette machine, sizing it to 5.8"h from white cardstock and while still on my mat, painted with Distress Dabbers "Tarnished Brass" acrylic paint. Removed from mat. Cut a shadow layer and painted that with "Black Soot", Adhered both layers together. Inked with Versamark and clear embossed then adhered it to my amethyst toned ribbed foil cardstock. Trimmed down and adhered to front. Added a multi loop Sari ribbon bow.

On the Floor: Used my Misti to stamp the poinsettia (Penny Black "Scarlet Majesty") on HP watercolor paper using Distress pads ("Victorian Velvet" all over the flowers; "Dusty Concord" at the base and on berries; "Shabby Shutters" on the leaves; "Forest Moss" on stems and accents; "Mustard Seed" on the center), misted with water and stamped. Misted with more water and stamped again. Moved around some areas with a wet paint brush. Dried. Trimmed down. Stamped the quote using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Sponged some purple around the edges. Added white pencil mark detail on the berries and Perfect Pearls "Butterscotch" dots to the center. Adhered to a piece of cardstock then on to floor using 3D foam tape to act as my stopper.

As a final touch, added the mini square amethyst rhinestones to the corners.
