Holiday Express Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and I am so excited for the festive season! Today, I am sharing another sweet Christmas card that I made with the amazing Holiday Express stamp and die set. Not only do you get a fantastic train but also several cute passengers and even a Santa!

Let’s start with creating 3 panels from white card stock. We will turn the first one into a snow bank with a die from my stash. The remaining panels will become our shaped sky cut with the Fluffy Clouds Borders. To get an instant shiny and sparkly sky, I sprayed both panels with a blue Distress Mica spray.

I set the panels aside to dry and selected my images from the Holiday Express stamp which wasn’t easy since there are so many options in this set! Continuing with the bright blue from the sky, I added some contrast with coral, red and grey Copic markers. When I was done coloring, my sky panels were dry to the touch and I could glue them to the snow bank.

Next, I created a white card base slightly smaller than the scene we just assembled and used liquid glue to adhered the whole. I placed my images on the lower part of the card to see where I could put my sentiment. While browsing through my stash, I decided that the Holiday Hugs sentiment would match this card perfectly. I stamped the words in a red dye ink and used the matching dies. To create that chipboard effect, I ran the dies through the machine two more times using plain white paper. I stacked the three layers with liquid glue and adhered both words to the blue sky. Next, I used foam tape to add my train, it’s passengers, the gifts and all the decoration.

This wouldn’t be a Christmas card without loads of snow. I recently invested in a few white paint pens and they are perfect for that magical snowy look that I love so much! I added a light shadow under the train by using a grey Copic marker. And of course, I had to finish this card with some bling (Champagne Clear Jewels).

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
