Christmas Cards with Guest Designer Anika Lerche

Hey stampers, Anni here. I am back again as a guest designer and so happy that Mendi is such a kind person to let me come back for a few cards.

With Christmas just around the corner I have some Christmas cards to share with you!
I played with the super cuts sets called Christmas Icons and Mug Hugs. For the sentiments I used the set Merry Sentiments and the Merry Word Die.

I totally love the Merry Word Die - just like every word die Mendi creates! So I made it the star of the show on my first very clean and very simple card. I just watercolored some pointsettias from the set Christmas Icons. For the sentiment I die cut a few Merry and stacked them up. I free hand cut some leaves and assembled the card!

When I realized the Christmas Icons fit perfectly on the Hug Mugs I couldn't resist! I stamped, colored with Copics and fuzzy cut the images. I created a background with ink blending and splashes of water. Another simple card!

For my last card I stamped all the snowflakes from Mug Hugs and  heat embossed them on watercolor paper. I love these outline snowflakes so much! For the soloring I used some ZIG Clean Color Real Brush! Just add a die cut Merry from glitter cardstock and another festive card is done!

  2. Such fantastic cards! You've covered it all from cute to elegant. Your coloring is so pretty--and on the snowflake card it looks 3D to me! At first I thought the some of snowflakes were die cut and popped up on foam.

  6. Hi Anika ~ Your cards are absolutely gorgeous. Your first card is CAS and it's stunning, followed by that precious card with the mugs. Your snowflake card is an incredibly elegant card with just the right amount of sumthin', sumthin'. Thanks so much for sharing!
