Deck The Halls With Kara

Hi Guys! I'm continuing to build up my holiday card stash. I saw a friend on Instagram has already finished all of hers. I've got a little bit of work ahead of me. Lucky for me, it's my favorite kind of work!

For this card I decided to give an older set a fresh new look by pairing it with the Clear Cut Stackers Hexagons. These hexagons add a modern twist to any set! I decided to use Festive Greetings because this string of lights is so fun and easy to color. When creating many cards for a holiday I want each one to be special, but not too time consuming to create. This is just that!

I started with a white panel and die cut three hexagons in a staggered pattern. That left a large white space at the bottom right, perfect for my sentiment. On another white panel I stamped the string of lights three times. I was careful while stamping to make sure the lights would show through the hexagon windows.

I colored the lights with Copic markers and clear Wink of Stella. Before I popped the die cut panel up on dimensional adhesive over the holiday lights I added a few hanging down from the windows. I felt it needed just a bit more so I used the die cut hexagons that were left over and stamped some lights on them. I popped them up as well and had three layers of dimension and shimmering lights!

This is another card design that is very easy to recreate and mass produce. Thanks so much for stopping by!
