Window Quad Die Focused Cards with Ana and Christy

Hello crafty friends! This is Ana and today I am sharing a Christmas shaker card showcasing Window Quad Square Dies and Warm and Cozy Dies.

I decided to go with non-traditional colors for my Christmas card today. I choose Pink & Purple Heart confetti first and pulled the colors to the rest of the card from the mix. I went through my colored cardstock and found the colors that matched the shaker hearts, then die cut the mugs, snowflakes and hearts (from Warm and Cozy dies set), adhered the pieces together, making sure I put the hearts in the center of each mug to coordinate with hearts in shaker windows.

Out of white heavyweight cardstock, I die cut the Window Quad panel then stamped the sentiment in purple ink. Sentiment is from Alpaca Holiday stamp set and I thought I went perfect with this card. To create the background of the shaker part, I heavily inked Wilted Violet distress oxide ink and once it was dry, added white splatter to the purple panel.

I backed the window opening with acetate, added double foam tape around each window, added the Heart confetti and closed the windows with inked purple panel. I added the colorful mugs using foam tape and finished by adding highlights with white gel pen.

I really hope you like today’s card and got inspired to use non-traditional colors and shaker pieces for Christmas! I think it turned out super cute and a bit unexpected with hearts confetti.

Hey friends, it's Christy here with a card using our Window Quad Square Dies. Each little square features an adorable dog from Party Pups. I simply colored their gifts in Christmas colors and added in a letter to Santa and a candy cane from Penguin Pals. I colored them all with Copics and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

Then I die cut the Window Quad Square from some Holiday Cheer 6x6 paper and used the outer die from Frilly Frames Quatrefoil to add the stitching detail to the edge as well. I stamped a sentiment from Inside Greetings - Holiday at the bottom of the panel with red and green ink and popped it up over another piece of patterned paper. 

I added the pups in the windows with foam tape and finished off the card with a few sequins and some Stickles glitter glue.

Surfing Santa Cards with Leanne and Isha

Hello everyone! It's Leanne here to share some holiday card inspiration with a tropical twist. I have combined my focal images with a fun striped background for a simple but festive scene.  

This card is A2 size. I created the striped background with the Frilly Frames Stripes Die. I die cut the frame from white card stock and the layered it over a panel of soft red card stock. I love a good candy cane stripe for the holidays. Next I Copic colored all the stamped images. Santa and surf board are from Surfing Santa. 

Copics used: YG11, YG13, YG18, E40, E41, E43, E44, R32, R35, C1, C3, E00, E02

The little island is from Tropical Scenes. Palm trees are from Seasonal Trees and Sending Sunshine. To finish off the card, I used the greeting included with Surfing Santa and white heat embossed it onto a small die cut speech bubble.

Hello everyone! Isha with you today sharing a no-line watercoloring card featuring the Surfing Santa stamp set. I am so happy that we have this set with summer theme Santa :)

I started by stamping the bigger palm tree from the Seasonal Trees stamp set onto watercolor paper using Antique Linen Distress ink. I bend it a bit more towards the left. It's so easy to manipulate the clear stamps a bit. I then marked my water, sand area roughly and started coloring the tree. 

I then created the background. Now stamp the smaller palm trees from the Surfing Santa stamp set. Again, I bent them as per my liking and added color to them. Stamp the Santa onto a watercolor piece and color in. I then die-cut the image using the coordinating dies. Apply puffy paint to the Santa hat fur and heat set.

Stamp the sentiment and emboss using WOW! metallic platinum embossing powder. Adhere the Santa image using 3D foam. Adhere this layer to a kraft card base.

Thanks for dropping by. Have a nice day!
