Deck the Halls Cards with Audrey and Vanessa

Hello friends! Audrey here, and today, I'm decking the halls! 

To create my card, I started off with a piece of watercolor paper cut 4" x 5.25". I used Distress ink in the shades Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness to watercolor a background on the top left of the card, leaving white space at the bottom and along the right edge. I usually stamp the sentiment on my card last, but this time, I knew I wanted in to fit in the white area, so I stamped it first. The sentiment and images from the adorable Deck the Halls stamp set.

I colored three ornaments from the set, and die cut them with the coordinating Deck the Halls dies. To hang then, I threaded some silver cord from my stash through the hole that the die creates in each ornament, and wrapped it over the top edge of the panel, securing it on the back side with Scotch tape. I popped each ornament up with foam tape. To fill in the area behind them, I die cut three of the Lacy Snowflakes from white cardstock and glued them to the background with a glue pen. 

Before popping the panel up on an A2 card base, I added a strip of candy cane striped paper from the All is Bright 6x6 paper pad to the left edge of the card front. To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents, Stardust Stickles and some extra snowflakes using white Nuvo Drops.

Hello to you! Vanessa here today with a Christmas card using the cute Deck The Halls set.

For the background, I inked the white panel with Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover and Pine Needles Distress Oxide Inks. Then I stamped the tree branches, stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment, added gold ink droplets and adhered the panel to the card. 

Stamps and dies used:
Deck the Halls stamps + dies
Holiday Style stamps
Christmas Trimmings stamps

Now I stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered everything with foam tape. Finally, I added the string with a black marker.

One Christmas card done, only a hundred to go :) Have a wonderful weekend everybody! Thanks for stopping by!

Lacy Snowflake Die Focused Cards with Marine and Anja

Hello crafty friends! Marine here, super happy to be back this week with a super cute and easy shaker card showcasing Santa who is experiencing a new way to deliver the Christmas presents this year!

If you know me, you know that I like to create cute and busy scenes with lots of images. Well this time I went with a very few of them: Santa is from Holiday Express, and the hot air balloon and the banner are from Balloon Rides. And that's it. I stamped those images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies and then colored everything using my alcohol markers.

Once the coloring was done, I cut a Subtle Grey Tones paper panel measuring 5,25 x 4", and I also took a plastic sleeve from stash. I cut the flap at the top of that sleeve, as well as the seams on the three other edges. I ended up with two plastic sheets, I kept on of those and applied strong double sided tape on the four edges.

I placed my grey panel in the middle of the plastic sheet, and cut the four corners off. Next I removed three of the backing papers, and folded the flaps to stick them at the back of my panel. I filled my pocket with some accessories: polymer clay peppermint candy, Pure White Jewels, clear sequins, some shiny red sequins, and a million tiny stars.

When I was happy with my shaker mix, I shook the pocket to spread the sequins inside of it, and I closed the sleeve by folding the remaining flap. Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25" white card base, and attached my shaker panel on top using liquid glue.

I assembled the hot air balloon and the banner, and placed Santa inside the basket, and I stuck those pieces on the shaker panel using foam squares, along with my sentiment "Season's Greetings" from Holiday Express that I heat embossed on white cardstock using silver embossing powder.

Finally I used the Lacy Snowflakes die to cut some snowflakes out of white glitter cardstock, and I attached those sparkly snowflakes around the balloon.

And that's it for today! I hope you like this lovely shaker card. Feel welcome to watch the process video above (click on the photo above) for more information. Thanks for stopping by, and see you next week!

Hello everyone, Anja here with you and today I'm sharing a shimmery winter card using the Lacy Snowflake Dies. They go perfectly with the snowflakes from the Snowflake Circle Frame Dies.

First, I started off with an A2 card base made from purple cardstock. Next, I created a watercolor background using Nuvo Shimmer Powders (Atlantis Burst and Blue Blitz) and Distress Oxide Inks (Salvaged Patina and Wilted Violet). I also added some shimmer spray to the whole background (see photo below).

To add some texture, I ran the dried background through my die cutting machine with the Lots of Dots Embossing Folder. I trimmed the panel down to be a bit smaller than A2 and adhered it to the card base.

The snowflakes were die cut from white glitter cardstock. I die cut a piece of vellum with the second largest of the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies. I stamped the scripty 'Happy New Year' sentiment from the Season's Greetings set in VersaMark Ink onto white cardstock and heat embossed it with some pretty WOW! Royal Crush Embossing Glitter. I used the coordinating word die to cut it out.

Finally, I assembled my card by scattering the snowflakes over the card. All the die-cuts are perfect to hide the adhesive behind the vellum semi-circle which I attached to the right side. I added some pearls and crystals as embellishments.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an amazing day!

Lazy Christmas Cards with Julia and Franci

Hello friends! It’s Julia here and today I want to share this fun holiday card with you!

I started by stamping all the images from Lazy Christmas onto Bristol Smooth cardstock and I colored them in using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

I cut a piece of the striped paper from the All Is Bright paper pad and added it to an A2-sized card base, then I die-cut the smaller of the Fancy Frames Rectangle out of white cardstock and layered it over top of one of the scene patterned papers from the Very Merry paper pad.

I added foam squares to the back of my scalloped panel and adhered it to the striped background. Then, I heat embossed the punny sentiment from the Lazy Christmas set onto black cardstock and I added that to the card as well. Finally, I added stickles to the snowy hills for more shine!

The holiday season is always such a mad rush, so these cute sloths are a great reminder to just slow down a bit, right?

Thanks so much for stopping by and have an amazing day!!

Hi there and happy Wednesday! It's Franci here with you today, showcasing the new Lazy Christmas set. Aww this little lazy sloth all dressed up festive and napping on all the presents is so cute!

First I stamped all the images from the Lazy Christmas set, colored them with Copics and die cut them with their coordinated dies. Then I die cut a couple of Stitched Rectangles out of white cardstock and patterned paper from the Sweater Weather 6x 6 paper pack and the All Is Bright.

I turned my white rectangle into a snowy hill using the Slimline Nature Borders Dies and stamped my sentiment onto it.

I built some dimension by inking some Distress Inks onto my blue panel and I assembled my card together using a combo of liquid glue and foam adhesive. Finally I drew some white dots onto my scene to create a snowy look and added some Nuvo Glitter Drops onto the snowy hill. 

Hope you like it as much as I do and thanks a lot for stopping by today!

Chloe Number Die Focused Cards with Kavya and Isha

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun card! I haven’t made a rainbow card in a while so decided to create a Sweet 16 themed card using some of my favorite previously released products and the new Chloe Numbers die set. I tend to use the Chloe Alpha set a lot so this new die set is a perfect addition for me! 

I first started off by ink blending the background of a mini slimline sized cardstock using colors of the rainbow. For my card, I used Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers distress oxide inks. For the bottom portion, I used Antique Linen. 

Then, I stamped and colored images from Candy Shoppe and Meow & Furever. I tried to maintain the same rainbow theme while coloring the candy too! Finally, I used a sentiment from Candy Shoppe and Chloe Numbers to finish off the card!  

That’s it! Isn’t this super cute? Can’t wait to find a 16 year old to gift this card too! Happy Crafting!
