Gledelig jul {Kort & Godt}

Hi, crafty friends! I’m back to share another holiday card I made for the Kort & Godt gallery blog. I’ve actually made my card in traditional red, green and gold this time. The color palette may not be my cup of tea, but cards are to be gifted, and I’m sure whoever ends up receiving this will card appreciate it anyway.

I rummaged through my scraps of patterned paper and found these from Maja Design. Their patterned papers coordinate really well, even across collections years apart. In fact, I’ve used three different collections on this card. The Happy Christmas collection from 2021, the Vintage Winter collection from 2011 and the Gammaldags Jul collection, which is even older, but I’m not sure what year it’s from (it was before they started printing the year on the strips at the bottom of their patterned papers). I used Die 240 from Kort & Godt to cut the patterned paper. This ia a die set with these fish tail banners of different sizes. I then arranged them how I wanted them and die cut them all at once using a stitched rectangle die (Die 182 from Kort & Godt) to give them all that faux stitch line at the top. I used the same rectangle die to cut a piece of white cardstock which I adhered to my card base with another layer behind it for a tiny bit of dimension.

I mounted the banners in layers using foam tape, and die cut the sentiment from gold glitter cardstock. I stacked a few white ones behind it for dimension (I think I used four layers in addition to the gold glitter cardstock) and also die cut the shadow from white. I added dimension behind it and adhered it on top of the banners to finish the card.
