Joyful Holiday Paper Focused Cards with Tina and Vanessa

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina and today I have another Christmas card for you featuring the beautiful Joyful Holiday Papers! Patterned papers are perfect to create stunning panels on your cards or you can use them for paper piecing. I will be combining both techniques in this card.

First, I selected three pink papers from the pack that work very well together. After cutting a rectangle panel from the snowflake paper, I also used one of the Stitched Arch Dies to create a frame. I then inked up another rectangle from Neenah Solar White card stock with Distress Oxides  Peacock Feathers (floor) and Kitch Flamingo (wall) and sprinkled some water droplets for extra interest.

For my scene, I wanted to create a cozy and festive living room for one of the cute penguins from Penguin Party. He is totally ready for a wonderful Christmas! The chair, Christmas tree and the tree holder (which is actually the lamp shade up side down) are all from the Cozy Christmas set. I stamp these images on Neenah Solar White paper and again on pattern paper for the chair and the lamp shade. I fussy cut these last images on the black outer stamped lines. Next, I glued the pattern paper shapes to the images from white paper. This creates paper pieced images with a white border. I colored the cute penguin and Christmas tree with my Copic markers.

As for the festive decorations on this card, they consist of small branches from the Winter Greenery dies (in white, distress oxides Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron) and the beautiful bow from the Winter Wreath set (distress oxides Spun Sugar and Kitch Flamingo). Next, I stamped a combined sentiment from Bear Hugs onto a small white banner.

And then I was ready to assemble the card, I mounted the snowflake panel to the inked background rectangle with foam tape for dimension. Both were glued directly to the card base. All the other elements were added with foam tape, except for the branches, I tucked them under the bow with a drop of liquid glue. And finally, I adhered the sentiment and a few Chrystal Clear Jewels for that extra sparkly touch!

And that finishes my Christmas paper piecing card! I hope you enjoy this technique as much as I did! Thank you for visiting the blog and I’ll see you soon!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a set of cute gift boxes made with the Joyful Holiday paper.

I created the boxes with a score board, you will find a pic of the measurements below. To embellish the boxes, I made little rosettes using the Scalloped Circle Mat 1 Dies - be sure to check my Instagram to see a how-to-video. 

I tied on matching baker's twine to each rosette and added two tags cut with the Window Quad Square Dies. Finally, I stamped the images from Penguin Party, colored these with Copics, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered the elements with foam tape.

When trimming the paper for the lid, be sure to add a millimeter on every side to make the lid fit smoothly. These boxes are easy to make, the lid keeps closed and they provide enough space for sweets or other small surprises.

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Snowman Kisses Cards with Waleska and Marine

Hi Friends, Waleska here with you! Today I want to share a card I created with the super cute Snowman Kisses stamp set, I am very happy to start this month sharing more Christmas inspiration with you!

This time I wanted to create a snowy scene for this two friends, I started by choosing a background cardstock from the All is Bright 6 x 6 paper pad. I then cut the snow hills and I added sparkle chunky glitter to add more interest to this two pieces. I decided what images I wanted to use for my scene and colored them with Spectrum Noir Tri-blend brush markers, I used Dark Red blend and Alpine Green blend to color the snowmen and the trees.

I finally stamped the sentiment at the bottom of my card and the Here Comes Santa with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and I also added the snowflakes in the sky.

Hello crafty friends! Marine here with you today, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this super bright winter shaker card showcasing the ever so cute Snowman Kisses stamp set. I love those little dudes, when I saw them I immediately pictured them with rainbow colors, it suits them so beautifully! And I really wanted them to be the stars of the show so I didn't use a whole lot of additional supplies, just the banner from Balloon Rides, and the tree from Holiday Express.

I started by coloring the four snowmen from the set using my alcohol markers with light aqua shades on their bodies to create a frozen look, and rainbow colors on their outfits.

Next I created the shaker panel. I first cut a frame out of a Rainbow Bright pattern paper using the main die from the Comic Strip Everyday die set. I attached a piece of acetate at the back of that frame, and still at the back of the frame, I added foam strips on the four edges and slim parts. I poured shaker accessories inside each window: some Snowflake confetti, and a bunch of iridescent confetti. And to close my shaker panel, I first attached a vellum panel, and then another Rainbow Bright panel.

I cut another Comic Strip Everyday panel out of white cardstock, but kept the inside pieces only to create small snow borders, I stamped my "Warm wishes & snowman kisses" greeting from Snowman Kisses on one of those snow borders, and then attached them at the bottom of each window on the shaker panel. Next I stuck the images on the shaker panel using foam squares, and finished my card by adding white highlights and details to the images.

And that's it! I hope you like this super bright and fun shaker card! As always you are more than welcome to check the process video for more information (click on the image above). Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Holiday Greetings Cards with Marie and Alma

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here. It is officially the Holiday Season! I am sure by now, most of us are busy preparing for the Holidays and that includes Holiday Cardmaking! Today I am sharing a card design that I think is perfect If you don't have much time to create but still want something super festive, simple, and classy. Today's card features our Holiday Greetings stamps which creates beautiful bold Holiday sentiments in a gorgeous cursive font! I absolutely adore them! I also used the Classy Christmas stamps which features the classic super festive poinsettias that paired perfectly with the Holiday Greetings stamps. 

To get started with my card, I die-cut an A2 size panel using 110 lb Neenah Solar White heavyweight cardstock.  I then cut an A2 sized panel from the All Is Bright 6x6 pattern paper pack. I used the candy cane striped pattern paper and adhered that to my heavyweight cardstock. I then die-cut another slightly smaller rectangle from 110lb cardstock and used the Moroccan Circles 6x6 embossing folder to create a very simple but elegant texture to my card background. After embossing, I inked the outer edges with Distress Ink in the Colors Vintage Photo, and Walnut Stain. I created a gold accent frame for my sentiment by die-cutting a very thin frame from 2 oval dies. 

I stamped my Seasons Greetings Sentiment using the Holiday Greeting stamps and cut out my sentiment using the Holiday Greetings coordinating dies which is such an amazing feature of this entire set! I really love how you can cut out the sentiments because it makes placing them so easy!!! I stamped my poinsettia images from the Classy Christmas stamps using Distress Ink in the color Antique Linen onto watercolor paper. I used Derwent Inktense water soluble pencils to color my images. Then I cut out my colored images using the Classy Christmas coordinating dies.  

After coloring, I put together my card by adhering my Moroccan embossed panel to the A2 paper panel using double sided tape adhesive. I then centered my Sentiment and glued it down using Bearly art Precision Craft Glue. I placed my gold oval frame around my sentiment and framed that using the two poinsettia images and leaves. Finally, I adhered my poinsettias using foam strips to create dimension and placed the leaves just underneath them. 

That concludes my simple Holiday card inspiration for this week! Thank you so much for joining me today on another card adventure! I hope you have an amazing week! Until next time, happy crafting and cardmaking!!!

Hello, my dears! It's Alma and I'm really getting into the Christmas spirit! I love to wrap presents beautifully and today I want to show you an XL gift tag that I made with the Santa's Stocking Dies.

First I punched out the individual sock elements in red and white three times. This gives the tag more stability when you glue it together later. I embossed the red sock part with the Lots of Dots Embossing Folder. This gives the socks a happy and fun pattern. Then I glued the individual sock elements together, also using 3D adhesive pads to make the tag look more lively.

To decorate my stocking, I decided to use the Deck the Hall Stamps images and stamped three of them, coloured and cut them out with the Deck the Halls Dies. Now we come to the most important thing! The stuffing of the stocking! I punched the candy canes from the Santa's Stocking Dies and the Winter Greenery Dies and coloured them with Copics.

Also snowflakes from the Snowflake Circle Frame Die should not be missing. To make a present, I used a die-cut window from the Window Quad Square Dies in kraft paper, painted white dots on it and tied it with red paper ribbon. A mini tag from the same set perfects the Christmas sock! Now I glued everything together and add stars and hearts from the Basic Mini Shape Dies 3.

Finally - and as a special highlight - I stamped the Merry Christmas from the Holiday Greeting Stamps in red and punched it out with the Holiday Greeting Dies. At the end I attached the text to the waistband of my socks, put an eyelet so that the tag can be tied with a bow - and the gift-giving can begin!
