Today I have used the delightful Checking the List Elf digital stamp from Cute As A Button, two of our generous sponsors this month, to make three cards.

My first card uses the Flower Petals digital stamp from Colour Of Love.

THIS POSTther two cards using the
Checking the List Elf digital stamp from Cute As A Button.

My pair of cards started on my Silhouette Studio design mat.  I opened the image and a cut file for the card design (details and link below).  I enlarged the card base (as well as the associated mechanism and layers) to make a 5 3/4" tall card.  I added an extra layer to the front of the card and sized the image to fit.  I created a sentiment for the front (and inside) of the card (font details and links below), printed the front panel on X-Press It blending card, cut with Silhouette Cameo, heat set and coloured with Copic markers.  I used the Cameo to cut the card base, mechanism and layers.  As mentioned earlier, I added a sentiment to the inside matting panels, so I printed them on textured cardstock and cut with the Cameo.  I used a combination of liquid adhesives (details below) to adhere all the layers.  I die cut some holly leaves and coloured them with markers to match the image.  I used markers to colour sparkling clear rhinestones.  The holly leaves and berries were adhered to the card front and the tiny red rhinestones adhered over the berries at the end of the elf's cap, for more contrast against the cap.

Here are my finished cards.  The elf looks so cute while checking the list.

When you open the card, the fancy folds go in to action

and the fun surprise inside pops out.

Here is what the folded mechanism looks like as the card opens
