North Pole Mischief is the perfect stamp set for quick and easy cards. While the images are large and easy to color, they add humor to holiday cards. As there are no coordinating dies, North Pole Mischief is ideal for making SIP cards. Not sure what a SIP card is? It’s simply a card made from stamps, ink and paper!
I don’t often do SIP cards. Not because, I don’t like them but more so, I don’t think to do them. But as I gazed at the images, I just wanted to do simple stamping. My goal was an imperfect watercolor look to the images, not perfectly colored and polished looking. The images were lightly colored using Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils. I chose to use Real Red layered with Real Red Designer Series Paper. On a second card below, the Designer Series Paper was used to “paper piece” a frame around the colored image.
Ready to get started? The video, below, demonstrates how to make the card. Additionally, the measurements, instructions and supply list can be found further down in the post. I would love to hear from you! Leave me a comment below.
