Joyful Holiday Paper Focused Cards with Marie and Alma

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here. I'm so glad to be back again to share a new Holiday Card inspiration with you featuring the new Joyful Holiday paper. For my card today, I decided to create some holiday gifts using pink, red, and grey toned papers. I also colored up a sweet penguin from the Penguin Party stamp set that goes perfectly with this fun scene. 

This card was super fun to put together and I especially loved and enjoyed creating the little gifts with Christmas colored twine! To create my gifts, I used different sized square dies. You can use any shape you want, it doesn't even have to be square! You can use rectangles and circles too, whatever small shapes you have on hand! I first cut out my shapes from 110 lb Neenah Solar White Card Stock as a study base for my pattern paper. Then I cut out my shapes from the Joyful Holiday paper and adhered it to the sturdy cardstock base. I wanted to give my presents a vintage look so I used some Distress Ink in Vintage paper and inked around my cut out squares. 

The fun part was adding Christmas twine! I cut strips of twine and attached it to the back of each shape using double sided tape adhesive. I created tiny bows and glued them to the front of each present using Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue. I set my tiny gifts aside and stamped my penguin from the Penguin Party stamps using Distress Ink In Antique Linen for my no-line coloring style. I used Derwent Inktense Pencils to color my penguin image, and cut it out using its corresponding Penguin Party dies. 

For my card front and background, I used the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die to die cut a beautiful scalloped panel from kraft paper. I attached this to an A2 sized panel of 110 lb Neenah Solar White Cardstock . For added fun and interest, I used some metallic watercolors and white acrylic paint to create some light splatters to my card. 

After creating my splatter background, I positioned and adhered my pattern paper gifts and penguin using a combination of foam tape and Craft Glue. I added some random white stars and some Mix Red Heart Drops for a pop of red! 

Moving onto the inside of my card, I used the beautiful Holiday Greetings stamp set for my big and bold sentiment! I love this stamp set because all the sentiments come with corresponding dies making it super easy to place!!! I LOVE THAT! I used the Holiday Greetings die to cut out my Happy Holidays Sentiment, and along with two little gifts, adhered them to the inside of the card. I really love how this card came together and I already know who I'm planning to give it to! Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope this card inspires you to think of other ways to use your pattern paper! Until next time, Happy crafting and card making friends!

Hi there, it’s Alma here with you. Today I want to show you how versatile you can use the new Joyful Holiday Paper pack! 

First of all I coloured the cute hedgehogs from the Hedgey Holiday Stamps with Copics and Pencils. After that I cut the Hedgehogs and add some highlights with the white gel pen. Then I die-cut the tree from the Autumn Tree Dies and the candy cane from the Santa´s Stocking Dies. 

Then I cut a rectangular card and I die-cut the snowy hills with the dies from the Slimline Nature Border Dies and Fluffy Clouds Border Dies.  After that I cut the poinsettia plants out of the mentioned paper pad. Finally I glued everything together and added the text.

Forest Tree Stencil Focused Cards with Anja and Marine

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I'm back with a clean and simple Christmas card in pretty pinks using the fabulous Forest Trees Stencils.

I started off with an A2 landscape card base and die cut a white cardstock panel with the stitched rectangle included in the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies set. I also cut out a window using the largest of the Stitched Oval 2 Dies.

Next, I cut down a piece of smooth Bristol cardstock to go behind the window and started applying Distress Oxide Inks through the stencils. I wanted to create an ombré look and went from light to dark pink (Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves). I used all three stencils and one even twice to fill the whole panel. I let it dry before adding white and moonlight ink splatters with a small brush for a bit of snowfall. I adhered the stenciled panel directly to my card base and popped up the oval window frame with foam tape.

For the sentiment, I combined a die cut with a heat embossed text. The word 'merry' is included in the Christmas Garland Frame Die set. I cut it from silver glitter cardstock as well as white cardstock since it is quite delicate. I stamped the word 'Christmas' from the Hedgey Holidays set in VersaMark Ink onto a small cardstock strip and white heat embossed it. To finish off the card, I adhered the sentiment in the middle and added three white star sequins around it.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you have an amazing day!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back this week with an enchanted shaker card featuring two cute fairies decorating a pink Christmas tree.

As always I stamped a bunch of images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used the coordinating dies to cut them all and before coloring everything using my alcohol markers, I used my memento black pen to give my cute fairies long sleeves, it's winter time and we wouldn't them to get cold.

Here are the stamp sets I used on this card:

• Bear Hugs - birch trees
• Holiday Express - presents, tiny snowflake and sentiment
• Garden Fairy - two fairies and flowers
• Seasonal Trees - biggest pine tree
• Scenic Route - strings of lights
• Penguin Pals - candy canes
• Enchanted - biggest star

Next I moved on to the background and covered a 5,5 x 4,25" bristol panel with spun sugar distress ink. And I used the Forest Trees Stencils to create a pretty forest background using worn lipstick distress ink. And once I was happy with the result, I added some texture to this background: water droplets first, and then I mixed some festive berries distress ink with water to create tiny splatters on the paper and this way bring a little bit more contrast.

I cut some elements to create my window frame. I started by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25"  white panel, and to cut an opening out of this panel, I used the largest die from the Stitched Oval 2 die set. And to give this window panel some texture and interest, I used the Woodgrain embossing folder. I just placed my panel in that folder and I sent it to my die cutting machine.

I attached this woodgrain window panel on a piece of clear acetate, and then attached foam tape at the back of that panel, all around the oval shape and on the four corners as well. I applied a generous amount of powder along the inside edges of the oval foam tape to get rid of any stickiness, and I cleaned up the acetate using a microfiber cloth.

I poured lots of clear sequins directly on the acetate window, and stuck my forest tree panel right on top of the window panel to create and totally close the shaker panel.

And to bring more interest to this window panel and make it even more pretty, I created a frame: I cut a scalloped oval shape using the largest die from the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 die set, and used the largest die from the Stitched Oval 2 die set to cut an opening in that scalloped oval shape and this way create a frame, that I attached on my woodgrain window panel using liquid glue.

I cut a white grass border using the Picket Fence die, and stamped my sentiment on it, I attached that border at the bottom of my panel using foam squares at both ends, and then I stuck all my cute images using foam squares mostly and also liquid glue. And once everything was attached, I added lots of details and highlights on the images and stuck my panel on a white card base.

And that's it! I hope that you like this magical Christmas shaker scene in the forest. Feel welcome to check the video above (click on the photo to be re-directed)! Thanks for stopping by, and see you next week!
