Holiday Style Jingle Bell Cards with Emily

I made a couple of cards using the Holiday Style stamp set and coordinating dies. This is a layering stamp set, which means you use three shades of inks to stamp layer the bells or balls and they look so realistic!! I love the versatility of this set, especially the pine branch. Wow!

Here are a couple of close-ups of the layered bells and bows. They're so pretty! I used a shimmer pen on the bows to sparkle them up. Just look at how realistic those pine needles look with three shades of green ink!

The hooks are actually longer than they appear on my card. I used masking paper to shorten them because I didn't want the bells hanging quite so low on these branches.  I also used washi tape to stamp the sentiments in different colours.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Christmas Icons Snowmen Scene Card with Eloise

Hi everyone! Eloise here and today I'm gonna show how I made this fun Snowmen scene card. I combined a ton of sets today to make this card. As soon as I saw the little snowmen heads included in the Christmas Icons set I knew I wanted to somehow make them into full snowmen, so that's what I did today. The stamp sets I'm using today are Christmas Icons, Gleeful Reindeer, Birthday Smiles and Merry Sentiments, along with the Merry Word die also!

To begin my card today I stamped out all my images. I used the Snowmen heads from the Christmas Icons set, I then used the outline balloon image from the Birthday Smiles set for the body. I also used the trees, sleigh strings and one of the little dots from the Gleeful Reindeer set. I used my Copic markers to colour in all the images and then once that was done I die cut them out using all the coordinating dies. 

Now I moved onto my background. I used various blue Distress Inks to create the background today, just ink blending the colours together. I also used my favourite water splotch technique to give the background a little more interest. I also then cut a snowy hill from some white cardstock too. I die cut into the background using a scalloped rectangle die and cut into the snowy hill piece I cut also, then adhered them together. I used liquid adhesive to adhere down the trees onto my scene and then used foam adhesive to put down my snowmen. I used the sleigh strings for the arms, the little open dots for the buttons or coal and used the balloons for the bodies of the snowmen, they worked out great!

For the sentiments I decided to pull out my Merry Sentiments stamp set along with my new favourite Merry die and stamp in Versamark 'May your Christmas be' and then white heat embossed that onto the background and added the die cut Merry onto the background also. To finish it up I adhered my panel down with some fun foam onto a kraft card base and added a little double twine bow to the fold. To make it more Christmassy I added a little Wink of Stella to the hats and trees and that finished up my card today.

I hope you enjoyed and got inspired to look at your stamps a little differently. Check back the rest of the week for some more inspiration! :)

Little Angels Guard You Card by Lexa

Hello crafty friends! Lexa here today with an sweet card starring Little Angels stamp and coordinating dies. This set not only perfect for Christmas but also all year round; their sweet little faces won't bore you out. Just like I did for my card, it will be sweet for any occasion.

I started my card with two pieces of 4" x 5.25" white cardstocks The first piece will be my card base, so I blend some Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks as the sky, then I splattered it with water using my brush. The second one is for the cloud, I die cut three pieces of clouds and one piece vellum to go along with it. To create some dimensions, I use foam tape to adhere the cloud borders.

All the little angels are stamped with Versafine black ink on a piece of watercolor paper and I colored them with Distress Markers. I tend to keep them simple and white, so I just add a little shadow on their clothes and wings. Don't forget the rosy cheek for extra cuteness. :)

I absolutely LOVE Angelic Sentiments, it goes really well with the stamp set. The verse I used in my card catches my attention since the first time I saw this set. Lovely and comforting at the same time. I decided to use gold embossing powder to make it shine. Last but not least, I adhered my scene to a piece of 4.25" x 5.5" patterned paper with a gold foil in it to match my golden sentiment.

Here's a closer look to all the details in my card. The clear sequins add something special to finish my card.

I hope you like what I made today. Thank you so much for stopping by and I wish you an amazing day!

Merry Sentiments Merry Little Christmas Card with Vanessa

Hi there! Vanessa here with my first Christmas card of the year. You got to love the amazing new layering stamps like the Merry Sentiments set that can be used to create the cutest light bulbs!

I trimmed a piece of rustic cream cardstock slightly smaller than my grey card base and drew a string for the bulbs with a pencil. Then I stamped all the bulbs and adhered the panel to the card. I die-cut the "merry"from black fun foam and from pink cardstock and adhered it to the card. Now I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of pink cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it.

I love creating with the new stamp sets! Although I have to admit I am not in the mood for Christmas yet :) Hope to see you back next Thursday! Thanks for stopping by!

A Red, White & Blue Holiday Card with Lindsey

Hi! Lindsey here today sharing a holiday card using the new Gleeful Reindeer. I just love the cute little images in this set, and there is just so much you can do with it. Let's get started on how I created this card.

This card was a little different for me because I chose to do a 4 1/2" square card instead of the usual A2 size. I began with a red stitched square. On top of the red, I placed a 4"x 4" dark blue piece of cardstock that I cut some stars out of to make the night sky. To make the stars sparkle, I placed some silver, glitter cardstock behind the openings. Next, I created a moon using a die cut circle and some Copic markers. I colored the circle with a light gray and then added some darker gray circles to give it some dimension. 

I stamped the banner from the Little Angels set and added some shading with Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment from Gleeful Reindeer. Then I stamped and colored the reindeer with Copic markers. I cut the banner and reindeer using the coordinating dies. To finish the card, I added some Wink of Stella to the banner and some accents with a white gel pen.

That's it for me today. Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll check out this adorable set. I can't wait to see what you guys create. Keep checking back to the blog for lots of inspiration using the new winter release. Have a great day!
