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 know I showed a card yesterday with Kraft, but I just can't help myself! I love the look and feel of printed Kraft cardstock! Today I am sharing this card also with the readers at The Bug Bytes.
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.
