Feliz Navidad Cards with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this new trio of mini holiday cards showcasing a mix and match of images from different sets (listed down below), as well as the Feliz Navidad stamp set.

As you can see I went for a non-traditional color palette, and was actually inspired by Critter Country pattern papers to build and color my three Christmas cards. And speaking of which, I started off by cutting all my papers:

- three stripe panels using the second rectangle die from Stitched Rectangles

- three polka dot panels using a die from Mini Mat & Tag 4

- three gingham green panels using the same die from Mini Mat & Tag 4 again, and from each of those panels, I cut three wavy borders using a die from my stash

- three vellum panels using the smallest rectangle die from Stitched Rectangles

I white heat embossed a greeting on each gingham green wavy border: the words "Hoping your... is" and "on point" from Looking Sharp, and the word "holiday" from Santa Claus Lane, in order to read "Hoping your holiday is on point".

I followed the same order to layer my panels and used liquid glue to attach them on top of each other: a stripe panel on a card base, next a polka dot panel on top, then a vellum panel (I put the glue only at the bottom of it), and finally a gingham green wavy border. I set my card bases aside, and moved on to the stamping.

I stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Graph'it brush markers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. And as I was saying, I followed the same color palette as the pattern papers to color my images. Here is a detailed list of the sets I used:

- Lovable Llama: llamas, presents
- Looking Sharp: cactus
- Scene Route: lights
- Reindeer Games: hats
- North Pole: nice list
- Penguin Pals: candy canes
- Garden Critters: grass
- Merry Mice: scarves

Once everything was colored, I attached the images on my panels: the lights and cactus using liquid glue, and the others using 1mm foam squares. Next I white heat embossed three Feliz Navidad greetings on black cardstock, used the matching die to cut all three, and then attached them on my cards using 1mm foam squares again. And as always I finished my cards by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

And that's it! I hope you like those three non traditional but yet super adorable and fun mini Christmas cards. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Feliz Navidad Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, Tina here and today I am featuring the festive Feliz Navidad stamp and die set. I combined this sentiment with the adorable Lovable Llama set to create a sweet Christmas card!

My white striped background was created with both of the dies from the Frilly Frames Stripes set.  I wanted to keep the color palette light and pastel by adding a soft pink panel and a glittery snowbank. As an extra design element, I included a smaller white border (Mini Mat & Tag 1 and an infinity rectangle die).

Next, I stamped and die cut the sweet llama with the bow and presents (Lovable Llama set). All the coloring was done with Copic markers. Since this is a Christmas card, I also added a cute Santa hat from Reindeer Games. The Feliz Navidad sentiment was stamped with a red ink from my stash. This color really makes the words stand out!

I adhered the striped panel to a white card base and added the images and sentiment with foam tape. Next, I created a bunch of snowflakes (Snowflake Circle Frame die), I love that the die cuts multiple sizes at the same time. I layered two of each snowflake for extra dimension and scattered them around the small frame. Lastly, I added a teal gem to the center of each flake (Pastel Jewel Mix).

And that finishes my card for today! Thank you so much for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Lovable Llama Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, Tina here and today we are making a fun shaker birthday card! The super adorable llama is from the Lovable Llama stamp set and comes with matching dies. This set also includes a pile of presents which would work great with the Perfect Gift Boxes, so that is the design I am going for!

First, I cut a panel from white Neenah paper with the outer of the Frilly Frames Stripes dies. I then dry embossed this piece with the Quilted Hearts folder. I love the subtle detail it gives to a simple white background!

The shaker opening was created with the largest Stitched Arch die. I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of this panel with strong double-sided tape. Then I build a ‘wall’ for my shaker around the arch with double sided foam tape.

I folded a white card base and glued a piece of pattern paper with cute hearts (Subtle Grey Tones paper pad) to the front of the base. This will be the backing for the shaker element of this card. The three boxes were cut from pink, purple and orange tones (Gingham Pastel paper pad) with white trim and lids.

The focal element of the card is this adorable llama with the party hat and gifts (Lovable Llama stamp set). All these images were colored with Copic markers. I also added a small bow tie from Spring Showers. The sentiment was selected from the Happy Thoughts set and stamped onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

After filling the shaker with pink, purple and clear sequins from my stash, I added all my images and sentiment to the arch window frame. A few Chrystal Clear Jewels were adhered to the gift boxes and the little bow tie. 

I had a lot of fun creating this shaker with the cutest llama ever! Can’t wait to see your creations! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Hayley Alphabet Die Focused Cards with Tina and Vanessa

Hello crafty friends, Tina here with a card featuring a custom sentiment made with the versatile Hayley Alphabet Uppercase and Hayley Alphabet Lowercase dies. I love the scripty font of these dies and how easy they are to connect in creating words. The possibilities are endless with these amazing products.

As I have mentioned before here on the blog, I am always in need of fun birthday cards! So, what better word to spell than ‘Congrats’. I die cut all the letters from pink card stock and adhered them together with some drops of liquid glue. The letters all overlap to create that fluid scripty font, having the word already created will give me the opportunity to play around with the correct placement in a later phase.

The Cherry Blossoms stamps were the perfect match for the cute bear from Panda Party. First, I stamped the layering flowers in three shades of pink inks from my stash. For the leaves, I kept with the cool tones and went with a vibrant blue color. I used the same color for the Winter Wreath. The panda was stamped, die cut and colored with Copic markers. Of course, he needed a party hat too!

With so much going on in this design, I created a simple striped background panel with a stencil from my stash. I placed all my components on the background and decided I needed another small sentiment (‘It’s your birthday’ from Little Birdie). I didn’t have a card base in the same blue color as my leaves and wreath, so I just inked up the sides of a white one for a perfect match.

Next, I glued the background panel to that base and popped up the wreath, flowers, leaves and bear with foam tape. Lastly, I added the ‘Congrats’ word and sentiment banner. A few blue jewels from the Bright mix were scattered around the wreath.

I am sure you will love these amazing alphabet dies as much as I do! Can’t wait to see all your creations! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a colorful birthday card featuring the Hayley Alphabet Dies.

I was inspired by my former team mate Kavya and her colorful creations! First, I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than my slimline card base and inked the background with Broken Glass and Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide Inks. 

Now I stamped all my images from Panda Party, Fast Food Fun, Looking Sharp and Lovable Llama. I colored the pieces with Copics, die-cut them with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the card.

Then I die-cut the letters, spelled "Spec-taco-lar" and adhered them. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the rest of the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and adhered it before adding highlights with a white gel pen.

I hope this happy card will brighten someone's day! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting!
