Topflight Stamps: Peace on Earth Holiday Card

It's Tuesday which means you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week the team's focus is Christmas/Winter.

Here's my card created with the adorable Little Light Clear Stamp Set TP-1314 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create, AALL and Create's Bubble Talk Die Set 72 and their Holey Fun Die Set DI-88. The patterned paper is from the Jolly Christmas 8x8 Patterned Paper Pad by Woodware.

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the Little Light Angel from the Little Light Clear Stamp Set TP-1314 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create twice — once onto white cardstock and again onto repositionable sticker paper.

Color the Little Light Angel with Copic markers. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version of the Little Light Angel and place it atop its counterpart on the image panel as a mask.

Place the small rounded rectangle die from the Bubble Talk Die Set 72 by AALL and Create facedown on the image panel so it's framing the Little Light Angel. Secure the die in place with low-tack tape and run the combination through your die-cut machine.

Flip the secured cutting diet/die-cut panel to the reverse. Use low-tack tape to secure the die-cut to the back of the panel.

Flip the panel over again so that the masked image and the cutting die are facing upwards. Place a piece of low-tack tape horizontally just above the bottom of Little Light Angel's dress. Sponge light grey ink over the tape and the cutting die onto the bottom of the die-cut image panel to ground the the Little Light Angel.

Move the low-tack tape so that it's covering the grey-inked bottom of the image panel die-cut/cutting die. Brush or sponge Della Blue Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps over the back of the cutting die onto masked image panel die-cut.

Remove the low-tack tape and the die from the image panel die-cut. Clean the ink off of the die with a baby wipe.

Place the image panel die-cut onto the base of a stamping platform. Position the halo stamp from the Little Light Clear Stamp Set TP-1314 over Little Light Angel's head and use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp it.

Use the gold metallic marker from the Colorista Essential Metallic Markers Set by Spectrum Noir to color the halo. Set the image panel die-cut aside for now.

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the dove from the Little Light Clear Stamp Set TP-1314 onto a scrap of white cardstock. Fussy-cut the dove, color with Copic markers, and edge with a black pen. Set aside.

Use the largest die from the Holey Fun Die Set DI-88 by AALL and Create to cut a piece of blue patterned paper from the Jolly Christmas 8x8 Patterned Paper Pad by Woodware. This will become the background panel.

Use the smallest die from Holey Fun Die Set DI-88 by AALL and Create to cut a leftover piece of the blue patterned paper.

Flip the patterned paper and place low-tack tape across the back of the aperture left in the patterned paper. Place the patterned paper die-cut onto the tape in the aperture. Place the patterned paper onto the base of a stamping platform. Position the "Peace" sentiment so that it is facedown on the die-cut. Ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp.

Remove the sentiment die-cut from the tape holding it to the patterned paper.

Edge the background panel die-cut and the sentiment die-cut with sparkly gold ink. Heat set both pieces.

Adhere the Little Light Angel die-cut to the background panel as shown. Adhere the sentiment die-cut and the dove above her on the background panel as shown.

Adhere the completed background panel die-cut to a blue card that is .25" larger than the background panel.
