Reindeer Games Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing some warm winter wishes featuring these sweeties from the Reindeer Games Stamps!

To start this card, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. I used the center portion of this die-cut piece for my background and inked it with Speckled Egg Distress ink. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Alpaca Holiday Stamps with white embossing powder.

Next, I die-cut the Autumn Tree Dies from light gray cardstock and cut the branches off. I adhered them to the left and right sides of the background piece and trimmed them along the edges. I die-cut birch trees from white and dark gray cardstock using the Rustic Winter Dies, adhered them to the left side and trimmed the excess along the top edge. I also die-cut the cardinals using these dies for a little pop of red above the reindeer.

For the snow along the bottom, I die-cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die from white cardstock and then die-cut the "sand" portion along the bottom edge using the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. I then adhered this to the bottom of the panel lining up the scalloped edges. I adhered the background panel to the center of a gray A2 card base.

To finish, I stamped the reindeer on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I decided I wanted a white border, so I adhered the frame portion of the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies to the card front.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Hello Sunny Studio friends! It’s Bobbi here with a card featuring the new Reindeer Games stamps and dies. Jolly Santa must feed the reindeer before their big night, flying in the sky. This herd loves all things sweet including candy canes, colorful gumdrops, and peppermints, too. This is food fit for Rudolph and all the reindeer!

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I created a simple background scene using the Scenic Route stamps. I blended on some blue ink at the top for the sky. I splattered on a little white paint for snow and added a few darker dots of blue in the sky. A little blue coloring was also added to the trees. I wanted to keep the background super simple so all the attention would be on the foreground scene. It’s Santa feeding the reindeer gang!

I stamped, colored and die cut the reindeer and Santa. For the candy, I used the candy cane, peppermint and gumdrop dies from the Gingerbread House dies. I put two candy canes in Santa’s hands. The reindeer on both sides of Santa are ready to take a few licks from these sweet treats! Gumdrops and peppermints, plus a broken candy cane cover the snowy hills.

I stamped a few sentiments from the Reindeer Games stamps at the top and bottom and shaded around the elements to ground them and finish this card. I used the following Copic Marker colors to color in the elements:

Browns: E00, E04, E11, E42, E47, E44, E55, E57
Greens YG05, Yg07, YG02, Yg00
Reds: R89, R59, R29, R27, R14, R22, R20, R00
Cool Grays: 100, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00
Pinks: RV17, RV55, RV0
Blues: B000, B00, B02

I also used a Gelly Roll white ink pen for accents such as Santa’s beard and highlights on the candy pieces. Santa, the candy canes in his hands and the front-right side reindeer were attached using dimensional foam tabs.

Mini Mat & Tag Die Focused Projects with Vanessa and Tina

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a set of Christmas tags using the Mini Mat & Tag dies.

These dies are such fun to play with! I die-cut tags, rectangles, stars, shapes etc from white, black, vellum and gold cardstock and combined these to create various tags. 

For an interactive feature, I die-cut a window from two rectangles, adhered vellum to both sides and filled the inside with small stars and sequins.

Onto some of the tiny tags I stamped "noel" and added a little star to replace the diereses.

These sets were used:
Mini Mat + Tag 1
Mini Mat + Tag 3
Mini Mat + Tag 4
Rustic Winter Dies
Stitched Rectangle Dies
Window Quad Square Dies
Winter Greenery Dies
Classy Christmas Stamps

I enjoyed creating these immensely! Have a lovely weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina with two mini cards for you today. I love making this smaller size card because it always looks so cute! Especially for the holiday season, it’s fun to create something different than the standard A2 size.

There are 4 beautiful mini mats with tags in the new release, today I am featuring the rectangle dies from Mini Mat & Tag 2 and Mini Mat & Tag 3. I used a smaller rectangle from the Infinity set to create a frame from both mats. Next, I also created two rectangle panels from Neenah card stock and ink blended the sky portion with a soft green combination of Distress Oxide Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover. Since these are Christmas cards, of course I had to do some splattering with water and white paint droplets to give the illusion of snowflakes. To finish the background panel, I cut two snowbanks from a shiny white card stock I had in my stash.

I stamped all my images using Reindeer Games (the cute reindeer), Santa Claus Lane (stockings) and the Penguin Party set (stars). All the coloring was done with Copic markers, adding snow details with a white gel pen.

The Autumn Tree die was perfect as branches to hang the stockings. Since these are mini cards, I only needed to cut one tree and divided it in half for each of the cards. I wanted the branches to look frosted, so I only added some warm grey tones in a few spots. The sentiment from Reindeer Games was stamped onto two skinny strips of white card stock.

I created two white mini card bases and glued a dark teal panel to both. Next, I worked on my background panel, gluing the branches in place, adding the snowbanks and finally the reindeer, stockings, and stars. Then, I mounted the Mini Mat frames to the backgrounds with foam tape for dimension. After adhering the sentiments, I could glue the mini mat frames to the card bases.

These mini cards turned out so cute, and they were a lot of fun to make! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Dashing Dachshund Cards with Marine and Waleska

Hey crafty friends, Marine here, Happy Thanksgiving! I'm so happy to be back on the blog with a pop-up card showcasing the ever-so-cute and fun Dashing Dachshund stamp set. My card features three lovely pups running in the snowy grass, and to complete my scene, I also picked the tree from Holiday Express.

I started off by building the pop-up card. I cut the back panel, the front + side pieces, and the grass borders out of white cardstock, the decorative pieces out of three different papers from the Joyful Holiday paper pack, and white heat embossed my "Dachshund through the snow" greeting from DashingDachshund on the long decorative strip that goes on the front.

I stamped the images on white paper using alcohol marker-friendly black ink: three dachshunds, three sweaters, as well as three hats + many trees, and I stamped each sweater a second time on pattern papers from the Joyful Holiday paper pack. I colored the images using my alcohol markers, and for the sweaters I used light grey shades to bring a little bit of shadows to those images.

Once the coloring was done, I fussy cut each sweater, stuck them on the non-colored sweaters, and then attached them on the dachshunds.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and next, I attached the images inside the box. To do a nice and clean job, with no oozing glue on the grass borders, I first attached each image to an acetate strip and then stuck the acetate strips inside the box at the back of the grass borders. Feel free to check the video to visualize the process more easily (click the image below)!

And that's it! Love those cute little guys, they're just so fun! If you and your family celebrate it, I'm wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving, I hope you have a nice day. Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Hello there, Waleska here! Today I have two good friends happy to see each other again on the winter season. For my card today I used the Snowman Kisses and the Dashing Dachshund stamps. 

The first thing I did was the snowy background, I used oxide inks in colors Bundle Sage and Evergreen Bough I used water, sparkly watercolor, and white acrylic paint to create the snow.

I then cut some birch trees from the Rustic Winter Dies, the top of the tree is white and the back is kraft cardstock. I cut a snowy hill and I added some chunky glitter.  I stamped and colored the cute snowman and doggy ready to reunite in this cute scene.

I finally added some little hearts and the sentiment to this panel, and used a kraft and red card bases.  This little scene is my favorite! Sunny Studio stamps are so amazing that you can mix and match them on all your projects. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of your week!

Joyful Holiday Paper Focused Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today with a card featuring some of my favorite papers from the Joyful Holiday Paper. I just love the beautiful bold poinsettia prints in this paper pack and the colors are so fun and fresh for the Holidays!

To start, I cut the pink poinsettia paper 3” x 5 1/2", centered a Stitched Semi-Circle Die along the bottom 5 1/2" edge and die-cut the paper. I adhered this piece to the top of an A2 card base. I die-cut the gray snowflake paper using the same die. Before I adhered it to the card front, I die-cut a tree from the Rustic Winter Dies from white and dark gray cardstock and adhered the tree to the left side trimming the excess along the top edge of the semi-circle.

Next, I cut the pink polka dot paper 1” x 5 1/2" and adhered it to the bottom of the card front. To create the double scalloped edges, I cut a piece of white glitter cardstock and dark brown cardstock 1 “ x 5 1/2" and die-cut the bottom edge of each piece using the Icing Border Dies. I overlapped the pieces and adhered them across the bottom of the semi-circle. For extra interest, I cut a piece of gray cardstock 5/8” x 5 1/2" and die-cut along the center of the strip using an Frilly Frame Eyelet Lace Die. I adhered this across the top edge of the glitter cardstock. I love that little bit of extra detail.

I stamped the cute reindeer from the Reindeer Games Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored it with Copics and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. The large poinsettia from the Classy Christmas Stamps goes beautifully with the poinsettia paper and I decided to fussy cut the image and pop it up with foam tape to really make it stand out.

To finish, I die-cut the gray/white plaid paper using the tag die from the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies, heat embossed the sentiment and added a Pure White Jewel over the hole in the tag.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Hello crafty friends. It’s Bobbi here and I’m sharing a few peppermints and shiny candies on this cute gingerbread house covered in fun holiday papers. I’m using the Gingerbread House dies with the new Joyful Holiday pattern paper pack and the cute penguins from the Penguin Party stamp set and dies. Inside, I also used one of the sentiments from the Holiday Greetings stamps and dies.

To make this gingerbread house, I cut the elements from the vibrant and coordinating paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper pack and Neenah 80lb. Classic Crest Solar White cardstock for the white elements. I also used a blue-violet color cardstock for the window insets and green and pink for the peppermints, too.  To make the white card base, I scored an 8-1/2″ X 5-1/2″ piece of white cardstock and placed the largest house die on top of the folded cardstock, ensuring the top cutting line (i.e., the rooftop line) was above the folded edge. This keeps the fold line intact and creates a scored card base.

In addition to adding the many cute accent elements from the gingerbread die set, I also applied Pearl Pen (similar to Nuvo Drops) to add red, glossy candies around the roof line and on the bottom. Next, I stamped and colored a cute penguin using the Penguin Party stamp set and dies. I colored the penguin using Copic Sketch markers in 100, C7, C5, C3, C1, YR68, YR09, RV09, RV55 and YG03. I added a garland of red candies between the penguin’s hands, too. I used a white gel pen to add extra “fluff” to the penguin’s Santa hat.

Inside the card, I added an outline of the pink confetti paper (cut out using the two different sizes of house outlines in the die set), two more penguins and a script phrase using the Holiday Greetings stamps and dies. I used blue ink for the script. Using my Copic markers, I added tiny confetti dots of color around the sentiment and penguins to match the pink pattern paper. I kept them tiny so that they would not bleed through the white paper. I used the following Copic Sketch markers to color the penguins: 100, C7, C5, C3, C1, YR68, YR09, RV09, RV55, RV02, R29, and YG03.
