Toasty Hugs Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back with this new super duper colorful Christmas card showcasing the lovely Toasty Hugs characters, as well as some of my all time favorite stamps from Scenic Route, and a color palette I've never used on a holiday card before, or even used at all.

As very often, I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Toasty Hugs - boy and girl • Scenic Route - strings of lights, houses • Cozy Christmas - Christmas tree, present • Santa Claus Lane - presents • Reindeer Games - reindeers • Snowmen In Sweaters - snowflakes, trees.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored using oxide inks. On the top part I blended some shaded lilac, wilted violet and villainous potion. I splattered water droplets on the sky, and dried the cardstock using a paper towel. I mixed some villainous potion oxide ink with water, and used a slim brush to add splatters to my sky. On the bottom part I applied tumbled glass and peacock feathers oxide inks. I mixed some tumbled glass with water, and used my slim brush again to add splatters on the panel. Next I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, and added splatters all over my panel, and I did the same with liquid stardust.

Once my panel was dry, I stamped "Wishing you a holly jolly Christmas" from Santa Claus Lane at the bottom of my panel using black versafine ink, and then I attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. For the last details, I added highlights on the images using a white gel pen and a dot of glossy accents on all the lights. And I wanted the snow on the trees and roofs to be sparkling, so I added liquid glue on those spots, sprinkled fine glitter, let the glue dry, and then went over the whole panel with a fluffy brush to get rid of the excess glitter.

And that's it! I love how this little scene turned out, this color palette is really gorgeous, isn't it? I hope you like it. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Merry Mocha Card with Alma

Hello everyone, Alma here! Today I want to show you a card that is as colorful and cheerful as I imagine Christmas to be! At the center of the card is the winter mug from the Merry Mocha Stamps set. 

Since everyone loves to enjoy a big slice of Christmas cake with their hot cocoa, I stamped the cake from the Special Day Stamps set and decorated it with elements from the Holiday Express Stamps set to give it a festive Christmas look. For me, the "marzipan" tree ;-) is the big highlight of the cake. The cake’s pattern is created with the snowflake from the Merry Mocha Stamps set. I colored the images using Copics.

Overall, the card is designed as an indoor scene, as I created the card base using the Windows Quad Square Dies. This die is perfect for quick window cards and fits a classic card format beautifully. It's also great for making shaker cards. The scent of hot chocolate and Christmas cake has even drawn in guests from outside! As you can see, Santa and his reindeer friends have sneaked up to the window, waiting for a big slice of delicious cake. Santa is from the Santa Claus Lane Stamps, and the reindeer are from the Reindeer Games Stamps set.

For the background, I used Distress Oxide Inks in Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers, and created a winter landscape using the Forest Trees Stencil and a white gel pen. Finally, I added sequins to complete the shaker card! To finish, I used the Brilliant Banner 4 Dies and stamped the text "Have a super jolly Christmas" from the Reindeer Games Stamps set.

Buffalo Plaid Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a Christmas card with a special background featuring the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die. This die makes it very easy to create that extra interest on your cards. And I love that you have options, you can create an embossed look or step it up a notch by using the matching Diagonal and Straight Stripes stencils to add color as I did today. Either way, you will get an awesome result!

Since I am so ready for the holiday season, I browsed though my stash and found one of my all time favorite stamp sets Reindeer Games. Just looking at that cute Santa with his fluffy friends makes me happy! It was the perfect match for my plaid background.

Starting off with a white card base, I glued on a slightly smaller mat of teal card stock for some contrast. Next, I die cut two panels from white paper with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Chevron set. One panel was used to create a snowbank while I embossed the other one with the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die. The result is beautiful as is, but I decided to go for a bit more contrast and added a teal ink by using the matching stencil (Diagonal and Straight Stripes stencils). After adding this piece to my card base, I mounted the snowbank with foam tape.

For my scene, I selected the Santa and two of his adorable reindeer (Reindeer Games), a few Christmas trees (Seasonal Trees) and some presents (Holiday Express). I used my Copic Markers for all the coloring, and I added some snowy details with a white gel pen.

The sentiment was selected from the fun Deck The Halls set and stamped directly onto the plaid panel with a red ink from my stash. Then it was time to build the scene, starting with the trees in the background, and mounting the other images with foam tape. I used a grey Copic marker to add some shadows in the snow. Three white snowflake die cuts were placed around the sentiment and I embellished them all with a few Pure White Jewels.

Thank you for joining me and I am looking forward to seeing your creations with these fun dies! Happy crafting!

Stamp the scenic routes stamp, die-cut. Next die-cut this piece using the semi-circle die. Assemble all the images to the card. I die-cut the sentiment using black card too and adhered it behind the stamped layer, slight offset. To finish, I added some nuvo glitter for the snow banks.
