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!

Winter Wreaths with Marine and Waleska

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, super happy to be back with this new shaker card showcasing the beautiful Winter Wreaths stamp set. As very often I went for non-traditional colors, and I started off by stamping the wreath using blue ink. I used blue shades to stamp the poinsettias, and a light grey ink to stamp the bow. And I added embossed details in silver on those elements to bring some shine.

Next I created the window. I cut a white Comic Strip Speech Bubble panel, a second one out of scrap paper, and an acetate panel. I temporarily taped the second frame to the acetate panel, and used white ink along with a sponge dauber to create a frosty look on the acetate. And I also added splatters of that same white ink all over the acetate.

Next I worked on the shaker panel. I first attached the white frame to the acetate using double sided tape. At the back of the panel, I added foam strips on the four edges and on the slim strips as well. I made the inside foam edges non sticky using my powder tool, added White Snowflake Confetti and iridescent confetti inside each small window, and closed the shaker panel using a pattern paper from the Very Merry paper pack.

I heat embossed my "Happy Holidays" greeting from Holiday Greetings in silver on black cardstock, cut it using the coordinating die and attached it below the wreath using foam squares. And finally I added a few clear droplets here and there to bring more shine to the card.

And that's it, this is the final result and I hope you like it. As always, you are welcome to check the process video for more details (click on the image above). Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Hello there, Waleska here. Today I have card inspiration for you with two of my favorite elements, rainbow colors and inks! This colorful card is just so happy and bright I hope you like it!

For this card I started by creating the inky background I used some of my favorite Oxide Ink colors on Nina Solar White cardstock. The colors I used are Festive Berries, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers and Wilted Violet. I added water splashes to this panel to add interest and for some shine I added glitter watercolor too. I then stamped the wreath from Winter Wreaths, I used the pine bough with white embossing powder and I inked it with the same colors I used for the background panel, I cut the wreath with the coordinating die and I adhere it to the center of my front panel.

I stamped the beautiful layered bow that comes in the stamp set trying to match the colors I previously used. I used Spectrum Noir Inks in tones: Red: bordeaux, orange and Chinese red; Yellow: honey pot, lemon tonic and straw bale; Purple: damson wine, crushed velvet and pale fig; Aqua: Lagoon, parakeet and Oasis. I love the 3D look of this bow.  

I cut some peppermint candies from the Gingerbread House dies and I started decorating the wreath with all this elements. Finally I added a frame from the Fancy Frame Rectangle dies with white cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the Jolly Gingerbread stamp set. Super fun and colorful card, thank you so much for stopping by, have a wonderful rest of your day!

Penguin Party Cards with Alma and Marie

Hello my dears. It's Alma here and today I want to show you a card with the super sweet Penguin Party Stamps.  I chose a rectangle format for the card and I die-cut three windows with the Wonky Windows Dies.

Then I stamped the three penguins with the gifts from the Penguin Party Stamps and die-cut them with the Penguin Party Dies. After that I coloured them with Copics. Then I glued the cardstock with the windows on the red striped paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper . Then I added snowflakes with the white gel pen. Then I die-cutted green leaves with the Winter Greenery Dies and glued them together with the penguins on the cardstock.

Hi Crafty Friends! Marie here. Happy December! Christmas is finally in the air! I'm sure we are all busier now more than ever trying to create as many cards as possible before the Holiday deadline. I know I am! So for this  week's card inspiration,  I am sharing a super simple and festive box card featuring Sunny Studio's Penguin Party Stamps and the Holiday Greetings Stamps. This happy little box card is sure to bring smiles to your friends and loved ones  and will make such a cute display piece this Christmas! 

To start off,  I die cut all the elements of my interactive box card using the Lawn Fawn scalloped box card- pop up die. For this, I used Bristol smooth cardstock paper for easy ink blending. Once I had all my box card panels, I cut off all the box flaps so that the only thing left is a box. I then took an arched dome shaped nesting die to create my background panel. I used bristol smooth cardstock for this also. I then ink blended the outside of my box, and all four snow drift panels using Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink followed by Uncharted Mariner Distress Ink. For the Domed Background panel, I used a cloud stencil to create some soft clouds using Speckled Egg Distress oxide Ink and Uncharted Mariner Distress ink for all the edges.  Before putting together the box, I used a watered down acrylic paint to splatter on some snow texture to the outside of the box, the snowdrift panels, and the background panel. 

After putting together the box, using double sided adhesive tape and Bearly Art Craft Glue, I stamped out all my images from the Penguin Party Stamp and Christmas Tree from the Cozy Christmas Stamp onto watercolor paper using Distress Ink in Antique Linen. I then used the Penguin Party Dies and Cozy Christmas Dies to cut out all the images. 

I stamped out the beautiful "Merry Christmas" sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Stamps using Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink. I cut out the sentiment using the corresponding Holiday Greetings Dies. To add a little bit of dimension to the Merry Christmas greeting, I die cut the greeting 2 more times and layered the pieces together so I could create height without using foam tape.  I  played around with my image placement but before adhering my images I  reinforced all of them using a thin strip of 110 lb cardstock which I glued to the back of each image and then adhered them to the snow drifts. Doing this ensures that they will be strong enough to stand on their own.  For my finishing touch, I added a few die cut stars to the background and made them sparkle with Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue. 

And that does it for this week's Holiday Card Inspiration! Thank you so much for joining me today!! I wish you all a very Happy Card-crafting Week!!! 

Cozy Christmas Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone, Isha here with a cute little shaker scene featuring our Cozy Christmas stamps and dies. I love this set as it's perfect to create that cozy feel, which we all enjoy during this time of the year.

I started by creating the wall and the floor using some distress inks. I added a slight brick texture to the wall. Die-cut a window using the Stitched Arch dies.

Adhere vellum behind the window. Sponge ink to the card base, add snow from the Snowman Kisses stamp set. Add white paint flicks. Now add some chunky glitter and adhere the front panel with the window.

Next, I stamped all the images, colored them and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Adhere the images to create the scene, stamp sentiment and the card is ready. Thanks for dropping by.

Hi folks, Kavya here with another fun project from the latest release. I have used the Cozy Christmas stamp set multiple times in the past and I see myself coming back to it every time!

For today's card, I created my background by ink blending dark blue dye ink on some light blue cardstock and added a strip of dark blue cardstock for the ground. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Cozy Christmas and Santa Claus Lane stamps set.

Adhered them to the background and I was done! I decided to skip the sentiment as I couldn't find a good place for it on the card but you can always add one if you like!

Hope you like today's project! Happy Crafting!
