MCCR Letter G - LATE :(((

I'm So sorry everyone... I coulda swore I had this all ready to go and turns out I didn't I didn't even remember to get it to Erica in time. How horrible of me. First time I've ever missed a post for a DT. Gosh I can't believe I did that. I've had the card done for a week! UGH!

Anyway to see more projects starting with the letter G go to MCCR and check out everyones awesome projects.

To make my card I used DCWV paper for the brown background... Oscar the Grouch (my letter g is for Grouch and Green)... i cut with Sesame Street Friends... I put the Heart on a pop dot and under "I <3 trash" I wrote "(like one direction)" lol.. its a funny card.. and the sentiment says "CRAPPY BIRTHDAY" and is held on with duct tape. I made this for my lil cousin who loves Oscar the Grouch... and obviously One Direction.. and someones gotta give her a hard time about it.

Again... so sorry I'm so late!!

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

Grouch Chrirstmas Card

Our challenge this week at the SweetSassyDivaDT was to make a Christmas card using the Scotch Post-It Paper. I made this Oscar the Grouch Christmas card to give to one of my cousins (she loves Oscar).

Recipe:

Black textured cardstock

White Post-it paper

Crimson Post-it paper

Lime Post-it paper

Cocoa Post-it paper

Silver ink pad

Gold Adirondack Mixatives Alcohol ink (Tim Holtz)

6.5 x 5 inch white card

Christmas patterned paper (DCWV Holiday Collection the Christmas Stack)

Small paint brush

Sesame Street Friends cart

Happy Hauntings cart

Cricut

Instructions:

Using the Sesame Street Friends cart cut out Oscar1 at 3 inches, "blackout" with the black cardstock, "white" & "Layer 1" with the white Post-it paper, "Layer 2" with the Crimson Post-it paper, "Body" with the Lime Post-it paper, "Layer 3" with the Cocoa Post-it paper.

Using the Happy Hauntings cart cut out the "M e r r y" using the white Post-it paper at 1 inch.

Take the white garbage can and ink over it with your silver ink pad to give it the realistic look (I would have used a different color but I thought this would be a nice touch). Assemble Oscar. Adhere your patterned Christmas paper to the front of the card (make sure you have it cut a little smaller than the main card) and adhere Oscar to the bottom left of the patterned paper. Put a small amount of the gold alcohol ink on a piece of plastic or an acrylic block, using your paint brush paint on some of the gold ink over the letters from the Happy Hauntings cart. Peel and stick these letters to the top of your card (above Oscars head). With the gold ink write "Christmas" across the middle of the card just by using the tip of the ink itself. Let it dry and you're done! Hope you enjoyed my card!
