Holiday Greetings Cards with Marie and Alma

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here. It is officially the Holiday Season! I am sure by now, most of us are busy preparing for the Holidays and that includes Holiday Cardmaking! Today I am sharing a card design that I think is perfect If you don't have much time to create but still want something super festive, simple, and classy. Today's card features our Holiday Greetings stamps which creates beautiful bold Holiday sentiments in a gorgeous cursive font! I absolutely adore them! I also used the Classy Christmas stamps which features the classic super festive poinsettias that paired perfectly with the Holiday Greetings stamps. 

To get started with my card, I die-cut an A2 size panel using 110 lb Neenah Solar White heavyweight cardstock.  I then cut an A2 sized panel from the All Is Bright 6x6 pattern paper pack. I used the candy cane striped pattern paper and adhered that to my heavyweight cardstock. I then die-cut another slightly smaller rectangle from 110lb cardstock and used the Moroccan Circles 6x6 embossing folder to create a very simple but elegant texture to my card background. After embossing, I inked the outer edges with Distress Ink in the Colors Vintage Photo, and Walnut Stain. I created a gold accent frame for my sentiment by die-cutting a very thin frame from 2 oval dies. 

I stamped my Seasons Greetings Sentiment using the Holiday Greeting stamps and cut out my sentiment using the Holiday Greetings coordinating dies which is such an amazing feature of this entire set! I really love how you can cut out the sentiments because it makes placing them so easy!!! I stamped my poinsettia images from the Classy Christmas stamps using Distress Ink in the color Antique Linen onto watercolor paper. I used Derwent Inktense water soluble pencils to color my images. Then I cut out my colored images using the Classy Christmas coordinating dies.  

After coloring, I put together my card by adhering my Moroccan embossed panel to the A2 paper panel using double sided tape adhesive. I then centered my Sentiment and glued it down using Bearly art Precision Craft Glue. I placed my gold oval frame around my sentiment and framed that using the two poinsettia images and leaves. Finally, I adhered my poinsettias using foam strips to create dimension and placed the leaves just underneath them. 

That concludes my simple Holiday card inspiration for this week! Thank you so much for joining me today on another card adventure! I hope you have an amazing week! Until next time, happy crafting and cardmaking!!!

Hello, my dears! It's Alma and I'm really getting into the Christmas spirit! I love to wrap presents beautifully and today I want to show you an XL gift tag that I made with the Santa's Stocking Dies.

First I punched out the individual sock elements in red and white three times. This gives the tag more stability when you glue it together later. I embossed the red sock part with the Lots of Dots Embossing Folder. This gives the socks a happy and fun pattern. Then I glued the individual sock elements together, also using 3D adhesive pads to make the tag look more lively.

To decorate my stocking, I decided to use the Deck the Hall Stamps images and stamped three of them, coloured and cut them out with the Deck the Halls Dies. Now we come to the most important thing! The stuffing of the stocking! I punched the candy canes from the Santa's Stocking Dies and the Winter Greenery Dies and coloured them with Copics.

Also snowflakes from the Snowflake Circle Frame Die should not be missing. To make a present, I used a die-cut window from the Window Quad Square Dies in kraft paper, painted white dots on it and tied it with red paper ribbon. A mini tag from the same set perfects the Christmas sock! Now I glued everything together and add stars and hearts from the Basic Mini Shape Dies 3.

Finally - and as a special highlight - I stamped the Merry Christmas from the Holiday Greeting Stamps in red and punched it out with the Holiday Greeting Dies. At the end I attached the text to the waistband of my socks, put an eyelet so that the tag can be tied with a bow - and the gift-giving can begin!

Dashing Dachshund Cards with Alma and Marie

Hello, my dears, Alma here. This week is Black Friday Week and Sunny Studio Stamps has come up with something special. This cute Dashing Dachshund Stamp set is only available as a free gift with purchase (see details below). 

I stamped the dog, the hats, the antlers, and the sweater six times and colored them in different colors. I then punched out the images with the associated punches. I chose a square format for the card. I embossed the white cardstock with the Lots of Dots Embossing Folder and punched a round hole in the middle. As a highlight, I placed the Snowflake Circle Frame Die around the circle in brown as decoration. So I created a shaker card.

I made a background with the clouds from the Slimline Nature Border Dies and wiped the sky blue with the Distress Oxides. I then drew the snowflakes with a white gel pen. Now I coloured the Christmas tree from the Cozy Christmas Stamps set and punched it out with the Cozy Christmas Dies. Finally, I glued the foil to the white cardstock and filled the shaker card with snow. Now just stick on the dogs and the black snowflakes from the Snowflake Circle Frame Dies set and they all sing "Running Around the Christmas Tree" together.

Hello Crafty Friends!! Marie here back to share another Holiday Card Inspiration featuring the cutest mini stamp set from Sunny Studio Stamps called Dashing Dachshund. This is such a delightful mini set that's perfect to mix and match with other sets!

As a dog person, I couldn't wait to color this little dachshund and put him in a nighttime scene where he is flying to chase a special holiday candy cane treat from Santa. All good boys get treats every day, especially Christmas! 

To create this card, I started by die-cutting 2 panels from 110lb Neenah Solar White Cardstock. I also cut two more A2-sized panels of pattern paper from the Joyful Holiday 6x6 patterned paper pack. I also used the Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 Paper. The papers used are both grey tones with white print and go so well with my theme! After cutting, I adhered each pattern paper panel to the white cardstock. I then inked the edges of both panels using Distress Oxide in Speckled Egg and Chipped Sapphire. 

I then die-cut a dome shape and used a cloud stencil to create my night sky background. I inked my could stencil using Distress Oxide inks in the Color Speckled Egg, Uncharted Mariner, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot for that super dark edge. I then cut out a dome frame using 2 dome dies. I also die-cut some glitter snowflakes to frame the outside of the dome. 

I stamped out my Daschund image using Distress ink in Antique Linen onto watercolor paper. I colored him using Derwent Inktense water-soluble pencils. I used the candy cane element from the Penguin Party stamp set and cut it with the coordinating dies. I cut out the rest of my images using Dashing Dachshund dies. I placed my dachshund in the middle of my card in a flying position so it looked like he was chasing after his candy cane. I glued down my images using adhesive foam strips. I adhered my snowflakes using bearly art precision craft glue. 

Moving on to the inside of my card, I used the Holiday Greetings Stamp to stamp out the "Merry Christmas Sentiment" using Candied Apple Distress Ink. I then used the coordinating dies to perfectly cut out my sentiment! I also used sentiments from Penguin Party to finish off my inside greetings. As a finishing touch, I added stars to the front of my card using a white Sakura Gel Pen. 

That does it for my card inspiration! Thank you so much for joining me today and I hope you all have a very Happy and Memorable Thanksgiving!!! Until next week, Happy Cardcrafting!!

Winter Wreath Cards with Tina and Vanessa

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina and today I am creating with the new Winter Wreath stamp and die set! A beautiful layering set that you can use for so many occasions! Of course the wreath is gorgeous as is but there are so many cute critters in this holiday release that I just had to include an adorable penguin from Penguin Party.

I stamped one of the wreaths on Neenah Solar White card stock with Distress Oxides. Salvaged Patina for my base layer and Peacock Feathers to darken the outer edges. If you use a blending tool you don’t get harsh lines between the two colors. Next, I die cut the wreath with the matching die. The bow in this set consists of three layers, I used Spun Sugar, Kitch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry distress oxides. The details on these stamps are just stunning!

To embellish the wreath I chose the beautiful snowflakes from the Snowflake Circle Frame die. So easy to create a bunch of these! I just ink blended two circles on a piece of Neenah paper with Peacock Feathers and Picked Raspberry. The die cuts all the snowflakes with each pass through your die cutting machine. I layered the pink and teal snowflakes with some liquid glue.

Next, I stamped, die cut and colored my cute penguin from Penguin Party and added some glitter to his hat. I wanted a bold sentiment but didn’t have enough space on my panel for the complete Holiday Greetings. So, I stamped and die cut the entire ‘Merry Christmas’ and did some easy fussy cutting to select the ‘Merry’ part. The ‘Christmas’ word comes from the Reindeer Games stamp set.

The Woodgrain Embossing Folder is the perfect backdrop for our wreath and I created it from Neenah Solar White cardstock. Two frames from Fancy Frames Rectangle dies give the card that elegant festive look. To balance the colors in my design, I cut an additional skinny frame (with two nested rectangle dies) and ink blended it with Picked Raspberry.

Assembling this card was the next step, I glued the Woodgrain and frames directly to the card base. Next, I added the wreath, bow, snowflakes, and penguin with foam tape. And finally, I adhered the combined sentiment. As I mentioned in a previous blog post, I love the Pure White Jewels for that snowy look bling! 

I hope you will have fun creating with this beautiful wreath set! Thank you and I’ll see you soon!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a cute holiday card using Winter Wreaths.

I started with a panel of white cardstock and added pink ink droplets before adhering it to the Kraft card base. Now I stamped the wreath elements, the birds from Little Birdie and the sentiment from Holiday Greetings and die-cut the pieces with the matching dies. I colored the birds with Copics and adhered everything to the card, popping-up several elements with foam tape.

This adorable couple was made to be sitting on this beautiful wreath, don't you agree? Happy weekend and thanks for visiting!

Snowman Kisses & Snow One Like You Cards with Kavya and Isha

Hi folks! Kavya on the blog here with another fun card inspired by a movie that you might have watched once or twice (if you have kids!) - Frozen! This adorable Snowman Kisses stamp set reminded me of Olaf and I just had to figure out a way to create a Frozen themed card!

I started off by stamping and coloring a bunch of images from Snowman Kisses, Enchanted Stamps and Country Scenes Stamps. I then ink blended a soy using blue and purple dye inks. 

Adhered the images and added a heat embossed sentiment to finish off my card!

Hope you like this card :) Happy crafting!

Hello everyone! Isha here with a card featuring the Snow One Like You stamps and dies. This is one of the cutest stamps in my collection :)

I decided to frame this by stamping the pine leaves from the Classy Christmas stamp set all around the mat layer. Sponge slightly all around. Flick white paint to it. Stamp the image, colour using copic markers and die-cut using coordinating dies.

Stamp the sentiment from the Holiday Greetings stamp set and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Die-cut the frame from the Snowflake Circle Frame die. Adhere to the layer. Adhere the sentiment and the images using 3D foam.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!
