Distinctive Door & Wonderful Windows Christmas Home Card by Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share a house-themed Christmas card featuring our Distinctive Door Dies and Wonderful Windows Dies.

I enjoyed working with a larger 5x7-inch canvas for this Christmas card, which gave me plenty of space to create a beautiful holiday scene. In the summertime, deer visit daily and take their turns pressing their noses to our daylight basement window, so I loved the idea of adding the deer and cardinal visitors to the foreground using the Rustic Winter Dies. I decorated the porch with fir trees, wreaths, bows, and snow from the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Dies.

I altered the roof die from the Distinctive Door set to cut out the gable with my scissors and added the look of lap siding by scoring my cardstock every .25" using a scoring tool. I inked behind each lantern with Mustard Seed Distress ink with a PinkFresh Studio Blending Brush to give it the look that they are glowing. To add visual interest to my roof and provide the general idea of shingles, I cut two 3.5" wide x 1.5" high strips of grey cardstock and then "embossed" them with the Dotted Diamond Landscape Dies. I cut them into two separate strips to piece back together since the die is only 5.5" wide, and I thought it would be easier to line them up as two individual pieces than trying to line up the pattern on one long piece. I completed my card by heat-embossing a sentiment from the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamps onto a red banner using the Brilliant Banner 3 Dies.

That wraps up my project for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Designer's Choice: Distinctive Door Die Focused Card with Alma

Hello everyone, Alma here. Christmas is here! I wish you all a fantastic Christmas season with your friends and family! Today, I’d like to show you a very special card – a Leporello card. 

For this, I scored a piece of cardstock into three sections and die-cut the background three times using the beautiful Distinctive Door Dies and the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Dies. 

I crafted the roof with the Buffalo Plaid Straight Die. What I love most about this card are the colorful lights and the snow, which make it feel so festive. I drew the snow with a white gel pen.

For the design, I die-cut many wagons from the Holiday Express Stamp set. I also used motifs from the Santa Claus Lane Stamp set. What a long train full of gifts and joy!

I hope this celebration will also bring you joy, happiness, and gifts. Merry Christmas!

Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today to share this fun Christmas card featuring the Distinctive Door Dies and the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Dies. I had so much fun playing with these Distinctive Door and Holiday Add-on Dies and creating a house for these penguins that I was completely tempted to go out and start putting up the Christmas decorations on my own house. 

I stamped the penguins from the Penguin Party Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Penguin Party Dies to die cut them out. I also used the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Dies to die cut two trees and a wreath out of the same Neenah cardstock. I colored them with Copic markers and accented them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7, Y38 YR04, W0, R000/30
Hats: R24/29
Scarf: YG03/17
Trees/Wreath: YG03/25/17

I die cut the remaining door and the accessories from the Distinctive Door Dies and Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Dies from a piece of white, yellow, green and red cardstock. I also used silver cardstock for the door hardware and white glitter cardstock to represent the snow. I lightly colored the windows and lights with Copic markers (Y000/21) for a bit of dimension and realism. 

For the background, I took a piece of gray cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and added a slim strip of white glitter cardstock to the bottom edge for the snowy ground. I assembled the elements of the door and adhered them to the panel with a combination of liquid adhesive and foam tape. I used a white gel pen to add highlights to all of the elements. Finally, I attached the panel to a white top folding card base (4.25" x 5.5").

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to create your own front door card (or decorate your house for the holidays!).

Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina with an elegant Christmas card featuring the beautiful Distinctive Door Holiday Add-ons combined with the Distinctive Door dies! Together they create the most festive scenes!

To a white card base, I added an additional white panel embossed using the Buffalo Plaid Straight die and cut with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes set.

Next, I started to cut all the elements I needed for my scene (Distinctive Door Holiday Add-ons, Distinctive Door dies). This time I opted for Copic markers to color these pieces. I love how the shades of ‘white’ create an elegant look, with the door and greenery as pops of color. For the snow, bow, lanterns, and sentiment base I used a glitter paper which gives instant holiday vibes. 

The sentiment comes from the Victorian Christmas set, and I stamped it in a matching pink ink from my stash.

Then it was time to assemble the card, I found it easiest to work from the bottom to the top, starting by gluing the stairs in place and building the door scene from there. I love how the sentiment fits perfectly between the two pillars.

There are many great colors in the Pastel Jewels pack, they were perfect to decorate the garland and Christmas trees. As always on my holiday cards, I used a white gel pen to add a ton of snow to the die cuts.

Thank you for being here and I hope you got inspired by the combination of these two fun die sets! Happy crafting!

Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Die Focused Card with Nicky

Hello! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog where I'm sharing this new classic style Christmas card, showcasing our Distinctive Door Holiday Add-On Dies. Please read on for all the festive details!

I took two panels of white cardstock (A2) and I die cut one of the panels using the Distinctive Door Die. I shaded the white parts using Copic markers in C3, C1 and C0 and some BG10 on the glass above the door and then I glued the elements in place on the other white panel. I die cut a black front door and this was glued within the white frame.

Next, I used the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-On Die and die cut all the interesting little features that make the scene pop! I used gold cardstock for the brass features and black, green, blue and green cardstock for the wreath, bows and lighted trees in pots.

All elements were glued in place. I used a green Copic marker and a white gel pen to dot in some interest to the trees and wreath and then highlighted points with the white gel pen. The trees and wreath were applied to the scene with dimensional foam tape.

For the bold sentiment I chose the words 'season's greetings' from the Holiday Greetings stamp set and I stamped it on white cardstock using 'Cherry Kisses' ink by The Stamp Market.  I die cut the sentiment using the coordinating Holiday Greetings Die, backed it with dimensional foam tape and applied it above the door.

I hope you enjoy decorating your own Distinctive Door for various seasons and occasions. Thanks for stopping by to read the blog today and I'll be back next Friday with something brand new to share. Have a wonderful weekend!

Distinctive Door Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hi! Leanne here and I'm sharing a spooky cute Halloween card today. I have used the Distinctive Door dies to create a haunted house front porch scene. 

This card is A2 size. I started with a black card stock panel and added a light grey panel trimmed a bit smaller. I scored lines 1/2" inch apart on the grey panel to give it the look of siding. I die cut the Distinctive Door pieces from dark grey card stock. Before assembling, I blended on some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink onto all the porch pieces. When I adhered some of the porch pieces, I intentionally made them a little crooked. I thought this reinforced the whole haunted house vibe. 

Copic colors used: orange - YR21, YR12, YR16; purple - V22, V25, V99; green - G43, G46; black - N4, N6; brown E40, E41, E43; rosy cheeks - R20

Once I had my haunted front porch assembled, I added some of the adorable images from the Too Cute to Spook stamp set. I Copic colored the images and then used the companion Too Cute to Spook dies to cut them out. To finish this scene, I added webs to the top corners and stamped the trick or trick sentiment directly onto the door.
