Snowman Kisses Cards with Waleska and Marine

Hi Friends, Waleska here with you! Today I want to share a card I created with the super cute Snowman Kisses stamp set, I am very happy to start this month sharing more Christmas inspiration with you!

This time I wanted to create a snowy scene for this two friends, I started by choosing a background cardstock from the All is Bright 6 x 6 paper pad. I then cut the snow hills and I added sparkle chunky glitter to add more interest to this two pieces. I decided what images I wanted to use for my scene and colored them with Spectrum Noir Tri-blend brush markers, I used Dark Red blend and Alpine Green blend to color the snowmen and the trees.

I finally stamped the sentiment at the bottom of my card and the Here Comes Santa with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and I also added the snowflakes in the sky.

Thank you so much for stopping by today I hope you have a wonderful month full of warm wishes.

Hello crafty friends! Marine here with you today, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this super bright winter shaker card showcasing the ever so cute Snowman Kisses stamp set. I love those little dudes, when I saw them I immediately pictured them with rainbow colors, it suits them so beautifully! And I really wanted them to be the stars of the show so I didn't use a whole lot of additional supplies, just the banner from Balloon Rides, and the tree from Holiday Express.

I started by coloring the four snowmen from the set using my alcohol markers with light aqua shades on their bodies to create a frozen look, and rainbow colors on their outfits.

Next I created the shaker panel. I first cut a frame out of a Rainbow Bright pattern paper using the main die from the Comic Strip Everyday die set. I attached a piece of acetate at the back of that frame, and still at the back of the frame, I added foam strips on the four edges and slim parts. I poured shaker accessories inside each window: some Snowflake confetti, and a bunch of iridescent confetti. And to close my shaker panel, I first attached a vellum panel, and then another Rainbow Bright panel.

I cut another Comic Strip Everyday panel out of white cardstock, but kept the inside pieces only to create small snow borders, I stamped my "Warm wishes & snowman kisses" greeting from Snowman Kisses on one of those snow borders, and then attached them at the bottom of each window on the shaker panel. Next I stuck the images on the shaker panel using foam squares, and finished my card by adding white highlights and details to the images.

And that's it! I hope you like this super bright and fun shaker card! As always you are more than welcome to check the process video for more information (click on the image above). Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Sara Zoppi

Hi crafty friends, Sara here! Today I am really thrilled to be here, guesting for Sunny Studio again! I find their products really interesting and fun, and I know you think the same because you are here on their blog! For my guesting spot, I made three cards, using their recent Holiday release. So, let’s dive into the first one!

Look how cute are those snowmen from the Snowman Kisses stamp set! I wanted to feature them all on my card and I had the idea to color their accessories using rainbow colors. What’s happier than rainbows?

I stamped them on some Neenah Solar White cardstock and then I colored them up with copics. It didn’t took a while, since they are almost white! I then die cut them using coordinating dies.

I then moved into the background, which I ink blended with rainbow colors too! I used some blending brushes, they work really well when blending from color to white. I then stamped the “Happy Holidays” sentiment from Holidays Greetings stamp set using black ink. I knew I wanted a white sentiment, but I used the black to create a sort of halo: in fact, using the stamping tool I slightly moved the sentiment and I white heat embossed it (twice). I also added a few of the snowflakes included in the Snowman Kisses stamp and I white heat embossed them too.

To complete the card, I added the four snowmen using a combination of liquid glue and foam tape, and I stamped on of the sentiment included in the same set at the bottom of the card. I cut the rainbow panel to 4”x5,25” and I matted it using a white A2 panel to complete my design. And here’s the finished result!

My second inspiration features the Penguin Party stamp set, which has the most adorable penguins ever! I created a 5,5”x5,5” square card, with a bold sentiment at the centre and many penguins around.

I stamped all the penguins on some Neenah Cardstock (it is my favorite one when I have to copic color) and I colored them all at once, it really didn’t take a lot. I then cut them with coordinating dies and let them aside while working on the rest of the card.

I white heat embossed the “Merry Christmas” words (from Holiday Greetings stamp set) on red cardstock: I really love those hand-lettered sentiments, and they have coordinating dies too. I usually stamp those kind of sentiments using colored ink on white cardstock, but I am glad I tried to use white on red cardstock because I really love the result!

I kept the background really simple: starting from a light blue cardstock (which measures 5 1/8”x 5 1/8”) I splattered some white acrylic paint and I let it dry. Then I started adding the sentiment and the penguins I had prepared.

I had too much empty space, and since I am a “more is better” cardmaker, I added some Majestic Clear Confetti and some White Snowflake Confetti. To finish off the card, I matted it with a 5,5”x5,5” white panel too.

And here’s my third and last inspiration, using the Snow One Like You stamp set and the  Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies. I remember when I saw this cute stamp last year, I think it was a freebie with Black Friday Sale and I wished I had lived in America to get it. But now it is available for purchase and I couldn’t resist!

I stamped the cute image on some Neenah cardstock and colored with copics. I created a mini scene on the tag (included in the Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies), I used the trees from Here Comes Santa. I also decorated the tag with some of the greenery included in the Holiday Greetings stamp set.

I took a piece of Kraft Cardstock and I splattered some white acrylic paint. I then wanted to add a few snowflakes but when I looked into my stash I found the Snowflake Circle Frame Die, which has a gorgeous circle of snowflakes. And I cut it twice from my background, creating a lot of interest in my background panel.

I added the tag on the right side of the card, I added 4 small strips with the stamped sentiment on the left. I also matted the background with an A2 white panel. And here’s a finished result!

Thanks for stopping by! I really hope you have found my projects inspiring!

Victorian Christmas Cards by Ashley and Mayra

Hi friends! It's Ashley with a nighttime Christmas scene featuring the Victorian Christmas mini set. This card has a special surprise too - press the snowflake, and the moon lights up to illuminate Santa and his reindeer!

I started by blending a night sky background with Distress Oxides in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot. I splattered the piece with white acrylic paint for stars and zapped it with a heat gun to set. I used the small circle tag die in Sliding Window dies to cut out the moon, then backed it with vellum. I stamped the Santa and reindeer from Here Comes Santa across the sky and moon with Versafine Onyx Black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder to prevent smearing on the vellum.

I stamped the house from Victorian Christmas and one of the background scenes from Winter Scenes on white cardstock in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored with Copics. I also blended a bit of Pinkfresh Studio Ocean Breeze ink to the snow on the bottom of the scene to save some time. I cut them out with the matching dies and adhered them to the card. I stamped a sentiment from Inside Greetings Holiday in Versafine Onyx Black and embossed with clear. I also stamped a snowflake from Winter Scenes in VersaMark and embossed with white to mark where to press for the lights.

On a white card base, I created my light up mechanism using Chibitronics lights and a Pear Blossom Press Power Pack. I placed the lights just outside the edge of the moon to soften the effect a bit. Once I had my circuit set up correctly and the lights were working, I added a border of thick foam tape around the card base. All that was left was to add my card front on top! Before sending this card, I will put a note inside to tell the recipient to press the snowflake for a surprise! 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday everyone, Mayra here with you today. I have a CAS Christmas card that I am sharing with you. I used the lovely Victorian Christmas stamp set. 

I began by coloring my images using Copic markers. For the dark gray areas, I used W3, W5, and W7. For the red areas, I used R05, R17, and R46. And for the greens, I used YG17. I added a bit of E40, E41, C1, and W3 to the areas that are off white. 

I then die cut the panels for my card base. The scalloped rectangle is from the Frilly Frames Eyelet die set. This was such a fun and quick card to put together. I hope you enjoy this inspiration. 

Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by. I pray you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Winter Scenes Cards and Video Tutorial with Ana and Christy

Hello crafty friends and happy December! It's Ana and today I am sharing a holiday card featuring Winter Scenes stamps, Seasons Greetings stamps and dies and Here Comes Santa stamps.

I love creating winter scenes for my holiday cards, so I started this card with making the sky. I ink blended Salted Ocean and Faded Jeans distress inks then added white paint splatter for the falling snow.

While the sky was drying, I stamped the trees border scene from the Winter Scenes set and colored it with Copic markers. I decided to fussy cut the border and adhere the tree scene directly to the snowy sky.

I white heat embossed the word seasons (from Seasons Greetings stamp set) to the background then stamped the word greeting in red ink and cut it with coordinating die (Seasons Greetings stamps and dies). I finished the card by stamping Santa and reindeer (from Here Comes Santa set) ink dark blue ink.

I really love the retro look and colors of this card! I hope you liked it as well and got inspired!

Hey friends, it's Christy here with a fun Christmas card featuring Winter Scenes. I combined it with Santa and Mrs. Claus from the North Pole stamp set, turning my cozy little village into Santa's workshop and Elf Housing. Lol. I colored my images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For my background, I white heat embossed a sentiment from Inside Greetings - Holiday and a flurry of snowflakes from Penguin Pals onto a dark blue card base. Then I glued down my scene and added the images over top. As a finishing touch, I added a bit of sparkle with some Stardust Stickles.
