Oddball Carolers Stage Card | Stamping Bella

Hi all, today I'm sharing how I made is Stage Card featuring the super cute Oddball Carolers

This card is 5.5" square and is a great way to display these characters. The card can also be adapted to suit any occasion 

The papers I used are Santa Claus Lane and The Magic of Christmas from Echo Park, and there are loads of extra pieces that can be cut out to use as tags, sentiments and embellishments. 

Supplies:

Oddball Carolers rubber stamp

Festive Gnome Sentiments 

Card

Patterned papers

Scoring board and bone folder

Adhesive

Foam tape/dots

Embellishments of choice

How to:

Cut red card:

(1x) 5.5″ x 5.5″ 

(1x) 2″ x 6.5″

(1x) 5″ x 3.5″

Cut paper:

(1x)  5-3/8″ x 5-3/8″

(1x) 3-3/8″ x 3-7/8″

(1x) 1-7/8″ x 5-3/8″ 

Score the 5.5" square at 2.75"

Score the other two pieces of card at 0.5" from each end

Fold the 5-3/8″ x 5-3/8″ piece of paper in half, then adhere down to the 5.5" square, lining up the score line and the fold line. 

Curve the 5″ x 3.5″ piece of card and fold back the two end sections. 

Taper in the edges of the outer sections. 

Adhere the paper layer

Apply adhesive to each end. 

Flatten the card base and adhere the panel in the centre, approx 0.5″ up from the bottom.

Fold the base card into a slight V to curve the smaller panel. 

Adhere the 1-7/8″ x 5-3/8″ piece of paper to the remaining piece of card.

 Curl the piece over your fingers and fold back the 0.5″ end sections.

Again, taper in the edges of the 0.5" sections. 

Apply adhesive to the inside of the 0.5" sections. 

Adhere one end of the strip behind the card base, lining it up with the bottom

Bring the strip across the front and adhere the other end behind the card base.

Stamp the Oddball Carolers onto white card and colour using your desired medium. Fussy cut around the outline of each image. 

Decorate the middle panel with a tag or cut out from the designer papers. 

Apply foam tape to the back of the Carolers and adhere them to the middle panel, with their feet just below the front panel. 

Stamp the sentiment from Festive Gnome Sentiments. To remove part of the sentiment, apply some tape over the words you don't want, ink the stamp and then remove the tape. Stamp the top part. Clean the stamp, and repeat for the "Christmas" underneath the first stamping. Using a stamping platform allows you to do practice runs to get the stamps into position. 

Cut some embellishments from the designer papers, or use die cuts/stickers to embellish the front.

Mini Oddball Christmas Pudding rubber stamp (sentiment included)

White card

Designer paper (used: Carta Bella, Welcome Winter)

Pencil, ruler, craft knife

Stitched circle dies

Cut a piece of white card measuring 11" x 5.5". Score at 5.5" on the long side and fold in half to make the card base. Adhere a 5-3/8" piece of designer paper on the front. 

*Brown card for illustration purposes only. 

Measure down 5/8" from the top and, from the open side, measure across 4". Then measure down 4" and in 5/8" on the open side of the card. Draw a line from the 5/8" to the 4" lines as shown below. 

Using a craft knife and a ruler cut from the 5/8" point to the 4" point.

Take a ruler a place it diagonally across 5/8" points. Score from the points to the outside of the card

Gently fold back the score lines to flip the corner. 

To ensure it's straight, place a piece of white card behind the card front. Adjust the creases as necessary 

Flip the corner back over and apply adhesive, from the top right corner, across and down to just above the 4" points. Flip the corner down again and adhere down. 

Cut a piece of white card measuring 3-7/8" square and a piece of paper measuring 3.75" square. Adhere them together

Adhere the square panel to the card front, leaving small border around the edges. 

Cut a white card circle approx. 3.75" in diameter, an a paper circle approx 3.5" Adhere them together, then adhere them to the card front. 

On the inside, adhere a 5.25" white card square, a 5-1/8" paper square and then a 4" square panel for a greeting. Ensure the 4" square is tucked behind the panel on the card front. 

Fussy cut around the outline of  Mini Oddball Christmas Pudding. 

Adhere over to the right of the circle panel using foam tape/dots

Stamp the sentiment onto a white strip and cut apart. 

Adhere to the circle panel beside the image.
