Winter Scenes Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a slimline card using the versatile Winter Scenes set. 

I first die-cut the stitched rectangle and inked it using Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Inks. Now I stamped all the images onto white cardstock, colored the pieces with Copics and die-cut the elements with the matching dies.

I trimmed the winter scene parts to fit the rectangle and was able to create multiple layers from a few images. For more depth, I die-cut a layer of vellum for the tree edge and adhered all images to the rectangle before adhering it to my card base.

Stamps and dies used today:
Winter Scenes stamps + dies (tree border, house border)
Harvest Mice stamps + dies (mouse)
Merry Mice stamps + dies (snowmouse, scarf, ear cozy, christmouse)
Season's Greetings stamps + dies (Merry)
Slimline Scalloped Frame dies (stitched rectangle)

Then I stamped the "Merry" using the same Distress Oxide Inks I used for the background, die-cut the word, trimmed off the "Christmas" part and adhered it using foam tape. Finally, I stamped the "Christmouse" onto black cardstock with watermark ink, heat-embossed it, trimmed it and adhered it to the card.

I hope you are well and not too busy during the last days before Christmas. Have a wonderful day everybody!

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I'm sharing a pastel holiday card using the Winter Scenes set. I love the rows of fir trees and little houses so much!

First, I started with the background by blending together the Distress Oxide Inks Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose, letting the colors fade into white. I added lots of tiny ink splatters with a paint brush.

Next, I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it with Copic Markers. This time I decided to color the trees like they were covered with snow. I used the coordinating die to cut out the scene and layered it on top of my ink blended sky.

I kept the design simple and stamped the beautiful sentiment from the Inside Greetings Christmas set in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. Finally, I adhered a matching small enamel heart.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a gorgeous day!

Holy Night Cards with Ana and Christy

Hello crafty friends! It’s Ana today with a Christmas card featuring Holy Night stamps and coordinating dies.

I really wanted to feel and see the glow on this card so I started working on the background first. To create the background I used peach sunray patterned paper from Spring Sunburst paper pack. I added Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks to the corners, lightly blending them to create the light in the middle.

I blended white ink in the middle (I used Hero Arts Unicorn White) and pulled ink out, toward the dark outline. I purposely left the streaks of white visible to make the center of the card look like it’s glowing.

I stamped the images from Holy Night and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers, then cut them with coordinating dies.

On a piece of kraft cardstock, I splattered brown ink mixed with water, then cut the piece with stitched border die (from Slimline Nature Border dies). I adhered the border to the background then added the images. I stamped the sentiment in black ink and added stars (from the Holy Night set) using white ink.

I love this stamp set so much and am so happy with the way this card turned out! Thank you so much for stopping by and I’ll see you next week.

Hey friends, it's Christy here with a sweet card using our Holy Night stamp set. This one was super simple to create! I colored all the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

Then I chose this amazing background patterned paper from the Very Merry 6x6 paper pack. I cut that down to the size of the card front using the outer die from Frilly Frames Quatrefoil. Then I stamped my sentiment in yellow ink in the center of the moon.

I added my background to my card base and then adhered all the images with liquid glue. As a finishing touch, I added a bit of Stardust Stickles.

North Pole Cards with Leanne and Isha

Hi there, Leanne here! Are you still working on your Christmas cards? I still am because it never hurts to have a few extra on hand. For today's share, I've created a North Pole comic strip design. If you are short on time for finishing up some last minute holiday cards, this Comic Strip Speech Bubble Dies frame makes it quick and easy to create a fun eye catching design. 

First I gave a white A2 card base a light dusting of Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink. Next I adhered the die cut Comic Strip Speech Bubble frame which is cut from a piece of patterned paper from the Classic Gingham 6x6 paper pad. I Copic colored images from the North Pole stamp set - colors used are listed below.  

Copic colors: N2, N4, N6, C1, C3, E00, E02, R00, E41, E42, E43, E44, R32, R35, R39, YG11, YG13, YG18, BG01, BG02

Next I added the images in each window. That's the fun part for me, arranging all the little scenes. I adhered them flat to the card so this one will be safe to mail. Lastly I added several tiny die cut stars as embellishment. The star dies are included in the Comic Strip set.

Penguin Pals Cards with Ashley and Mayra

Hello friends! It's Ashley with a cute Christmas card featuring one of my favorite new sets - Penguin Pals! I am a total sucker for penguins and these adorable little guys are no exception! I was inspired by one of the sentiments to have them work together to decorate a big Christmas tree!

I started by blending Pinkfresh Studio Soul of Provence inks on white cardstock to create a purple background. I die cut the piece with the stitched frame of Frilly Frames Quatrefoil to add detail, then splattered with white paint for a snowy feel. To complete the snowy background, I used several of the snowflake stamps from Penguin Pals and stamped them randomly in VersaMark ink and embossed with white.

I stamped the penguins from Penguin Pals, the tree from Seasonal Trees, and the star from Merry Mice in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink on white cardstock. I colored everything with Copics and cut them out with the matching dies before adding them to my card. I stacked three penguins to reach the top of the tree with the star and popped the one with lights up with foam tape for dimension. For the sentiment, I combined phrases from Penguin Pals and Merry Mice then stamped them in VersaMark ink on black cardstock and embossed with white. I added the sentiment with a bit more foam tape to finish.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Hello and happy Monday everyone. Mayra here with you today. I am sharing this sweet penguin-themed Christmas card. I used the adorable Penguin Pals stamp set. 

I began by coloring my images using Copic markers. For the gray areas, I used W7, W5, and W3. For the red areas, I used R46, R17, and R05. For the pink areas, I used R00, R01, R21, and R22. 

I then die cut the pieces I would use to create the scene. I used the Slimline Scalloped Frame, and the Slimline Nature Borders dies. I die cut the large rectangle from the Slimline Scalloped Frame set using Bristol Smooth cardstock. I added color to the panel using Distress Oxide inks in the colors Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers. I die cut the snowy hills and ocean water using glitter cardstock. To finish the card I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Trimmings stamp set using black ink.

I hope you enjoy this fun card. Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.
