My first card showcases the adorable Surfing Santa Stamps, perfect for tropical Christmas Cards. Whether you live in Florida, Hawaii, Australia, or are just visiting a warm destination over the holidays, sometimes snowy cards just don't fit your circumstances at Christmas time. I paired my Santa Claus with the beach & palm trees backdrop from our Ocean View Stamps, the beach chair from the Kiddie Pool Stamps, and the VW bus and surfboard from the Beach Bus Stamps. I enjoyed keeping things festive for Christmas by coloring the umbrella and lounge chair with red and white candy cane stripes. Lastly, I added the "Happy Holidays" sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Stamps. I love that the script of this greeting has the feel of a vintage postcard when paired with my beach scene.
For my second card, I paired the two sloths, tree branch, ornaments, and stack of gifts from the Lazy Christmas Stamps with the wreath and sloth face from the Christmas Critters Stamps. I lined up three mini scenes, which were framed using our Stitched Small Circle Dies and then matted with red cardstock using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. I completed my card by heat-embossing a punny sentiment from the Lazy Christmas set onto an elongated turquoise pennant strip cut with the Notebook Photo Corner Dies.
That wraps up my projects 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. 💛

Hello Crafty Friends! Marie here back to share another festive Holiday card featuring
the gorgeous recently released Winter Wreaths Stamp Set. I absolutely adore this set for creating
quick and easy beautiful wreaths that you can layer up and decorate on its own
or pair it with other stamps like I did for today's card! It is perfect if
you have to mass produce cards! Alongside my wreath, I also used the Lazy Christmas Stamps which features the cutest Christmas sloths ever.
To create this card, I first started by die cutting 2 white
scalloped panels from Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. Next, I die
cut an A2 sized snowflakes pattern paper from the All Is Bright 6x6 paper
Pack and a smaller size solid red gingham pattern
paper from the new Joyful Holiday paper. I also cut a white scalloped frame for my smaller
rectangle using the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies.
For my wreath, I used Distress Ink in the color Mowed Lawn to stamp
my image on to Neenah solar white 110 lb cardstock paper. In my experience,
using a thicker paper is better when stamping with distress inks rather than a
smooth cardstock because it absorbs better and creates a sharper image. I love
that the Winter Wreaths layering stamps have tiny reference numbers with
letters that indicate the order in which to layer the stamps so you don't get
confused. For my Pine cones, I first stamped my base layer in Antique
Linen Distress Ink then stamped my next layer using Vintage Paper Distress Ink.
For my holly leaves I used bright green watercolor on my big leaves and an
Olive green Ink for my smaller leaves. For the Bow, I used Spun Sugar Distress
Ink as my base, then I used Saltwater Taffy distress oxide as my 2nd Stamp
layer and for the 3rd stamp layer, I used Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink. I
cut out my wreath using the Winter Wreaths Die Set.
For my sloth image and candy cane images which
comes from the Penguin Party stamp set. I colored everything using Derwent Inktense Water
Soluble pencils. I cut all my colored images using the Lazy Christmas Dies and the Penguin Party Dies for my candy cane images. I arranged all my images and glued everything
using Bearly art Precision Craft Glue and Foam squares. I also added a
touch of glitz using Sunny Studio Embellishments in the Bright Jewels Mix for
my aqua jewels and the Ruby Red Jewels.
For the
inside of my card, I used the Lazy Christmas Sloth image and Sentiment to
carry over my Holiday theme. And that finishes off my card inspiration for
today! I really enjoyed creating this card, and I love how it came together!
Thank You so much for joining me today and I hope I've been able to inspire you
to get started on Holiday Card Making for before you know it, it will be upon
us again!

Hi dear ones, Alma here with you. Today I want to show you a
card with the beautiful Winter Wreaths Stamps.
First of all I stamped the wreath with a
stamping tool in 3 colors (Distress Oxide Inks Mowed Lawn, Pine needles and
Ground Espresso). After that I colored the sweet Santa from the Santa Claus Lane Stamps and
the supplies from the set. I colored the images with Copics. I love the result
of the no line technique so much!
Hello crafty friends, Marine here,
I'm back today with an interactive card featuring a cute kitty from Christmas Critters.
Obviously it's a Christmas themed stamp set, but I like to use my supplies in
different ways, and today happens to be my birthday as well, so I thought it
would be fun to use this Christmas themed stamp set to create a birthday card.
As always I
stamped my images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used the
coordinating dies to cut them all, and then colored everything using my alcohol
markers. And to make this card super happy and bright, I used rainbow colors to
color the banners and the presents.
After the coloring, I moved on to the background.
I cut a 5-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches bristol panel, and with the colorful images, I
decided to keep this background pretty neutral so I covered it with tumbled
glass distress ink. I added a few drops of copic opaque white ink mixed
with water, as well as splatters of tumbled glass distress ink mixed with water.
Once the panel was dry, I created the interactive
feature, and I invited you to click on the last image down below to watch the
process video. I always easier to understand with images. So once the kitty was finally in its box, I
attached the other presents using foam squares, and then the banners at
the top and the party hats here and there around the presents.
I stamped my sentiment "Happy Birthday"
from Barnyard Buddies below the presents using black ink, and then I cut a 6
x 3 inches panel using a paper from the Spring Sunburst paper pack. I stuck this rainbow panel on top of a light blue card
base, and then I attached my interactive panel on top using foam tape.
As always I added highlights and details on the
images using a white gel pen, and to finish this birthday card and make it even
more happy and festive, I glued a whole bunch of jewels all around the presents.
And that's it. I hope that this card will inspire
you to stretch out your supplies. Don't forget the process video up above if you need
more information. Thanks for stopping by, and I wish you a very merry
Christmas. See you next time!

Hi everyone, Anja here with my final holiday card of
the year. Today, we are featuring the cute Christmas Critters Stamps.
I started off with an A2 card base made from
white cardstock. The gorgeous floral patterned paper is from the All Is Bright 6x6 Paper pack
and I cut it out with the stitched rectangle mat die included in the Frilly Frames Retro Petals set.
Since the paper is quite busy, I also die cut a white cardstock circle and one
of the stitched scalloped Fancy Frames Circles from
aqua cardstock.
Next, I stamped the sweet little mouse, deer
antlers and wreath in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and
colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to
cut out the images and adhered them with foam tape to the center of the framed
circle.
The sentiment from the Inside Greetings Holiday set
was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto
pink cardstock. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and cut out a
banner with one of the Banner Basics Dies. To create the right width,
I used partial die cutting. I die cut a white stitched strip with the
smallest Slimline Pennant Dies to
go behind the sentiment banner which I popped up with foam tape as well.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Merry
Christmas to everyone!
