Hi everyone. I have a card featuring the Dimpled Cookies die set to create a Christmas tray full of yummy cookies. These turned out so real, it is making me want cookies.
Tray:
Die cut the 2nd largest Rectangle Basic Set die from the brushed silver paper from the Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad. Create a frame using the 4th and 7th smallest die using the same paper. Cut the frame in half the long way. Adhere to the sides of the rectangle to create the handles. Die cut either white rice or onion paper using the 2nd largest die from the Fringed Scalloped Frame set. Adhere the die cut to the tray with light glue under the areas where the cookies and sentiment will go.
Cookies:
Die cut the Dimpled Cookies die set twice from heavy white card stock. Ink blend the cookie die cuts using Distress Oxide Antique Linen and then very lightly ink blend the edges with Vintage Photo. Cover the cookies with embossing ink then dip into Distress Frosted Crystal powder and heat, just as the powder melts then dip into Distress Rock Candy Glitter and reheat set. Do this one at a time. This will make it look like the cookies are covered in sugar. For the rectangle cookies I used Liquid Appliqué in white and used the dotted cut outs as the pattered to “ice” over. Heat set so the liquid becomes puffy. Take the top icing die cut and over with Tsukineko Neon Amplify in white and fill the die cut all over. I created my own glitter to make the background paper by coloring Distress Rock Candy glitter with Current Alcohol Ink. Just mix a couple drops in a cup until the glitter is colored. Spinkle on the icing die cuts and let air dry. this will take several hours.
Assembly:
Cut white card stock to 9 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and score at 4 3/4″ to create the card base. Use a paper from the Yuletide Cheer and trim down to 6 1/2″ to 4 3/4″. The only way to get 6 1/2 is to use the end with the hole. Use a hole bunch to cut out paper from the excess. Adhere the paper to the card and then the paper circle in the hole. Adhere the tray with foam tape, making sure to cover up the hole that was batched up. Adhere the cookies to the tray. Stamp and white heat emboss Hope you Holidays are Sweet from the Sweet Christmas stamp set on the darkest red paper from Blush pack. Fussy cut and adhere with foam tape.
