Hello! It's Mendi here with some quick and easy gift giving ideas perfect for the teenagers and other hard to shop for people in your lives. I am notoriously trying to whip up things like this at the very last minute and I thought I might not be alone so I thought I would share them with you. I was able to make these two cards in about an hour.
I started by cutting the stocking paper from our Very Merry Paper pack down using our Stitched Rectangles Dies. I then cut a smaller rectangle with those same dies using a red tone-on-tone print from the same paper pack which I layered with a pocket using Gift Card Pocket dies.
Hello crafty friends, Marine here,
I'm back today with an interactive card featuring a cute kitty from Christmas Critters.
Obviously it's a Christmas themed stamp set, but I like to use my supplies in
different ways, and today happens to be my birthday as well, so I thought it
would be fun to use this Christmas themed stamp set to create a birthday card.
As always I
stamped my images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used the
coordinating dies to cut them all, and then colored everything using my alcohol
markers. And to make this card super happy and bright, I used rainbow colors to
color the banners and the presents.
After the coloring, I moved on to the background.
I cut a 5-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches bristol panel, and with the colorful images, I
decided to keep this background pretty neutral so I covered it with tumbled
glass distress ink. I added a few drops of copic opaque white ink mixed
with water, as well as splatters of tumbled glass distress ink mixed with water.
Once the panel was dry, I created the interactive
feature, and I invited you to click on the last image down below to watch the
process video. I always easier to understand with images. So once the kitty was finally in its box, I
attached the other presents using foam squares, and then the banners at
the top and the party hats here and there around the presents.
I stamped my sentiment "Happy Birthday"
from Barnyard Buddies below the presents using black ink, and then I cut a 6
x 3 inches panel using a paper from the Spring Sunburst paper pack. I stuck this rainbow panel on top of a light blue card
base, and then I attached my interactive panel on top using foam tape.
As always I added highlights and details on the
images using a white gel pen, and to finish this birthday card and make it even
more happy and festive, I glued a whole bunch of jewels all around the presents.
And that's it. I hope that this card will inspire
you to stretch out your supplies. Don't forget the process video up above if you need
more information. Thanks for stopping by, and I wish you a very merry
Christmas. See you next time!

Hi everyone, Anja here with my final holiday card of
the year. Today, we are featuring the cute Christmas Critters Stamps.
I started off with an A2 card base made from
white cardstock. The gorgeous floral patterned paper is from the All Is Bright 6x6 Paper pack
and I cut it out with the stitched rectangle mat die included in the Frilly Frames Retro Petals set.
Since the paper is quite busy, I also die cut a white cardstock circle and one
of the stitched scalloped Fancy Frames Circles from
aqua cardstock.
Next, I stamped the sweet little mouse, deer
antlers and wreath in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and
colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to
cut out the images and adhered them with foam tape to the center of the framed
circle.
The sentiment from the Inside Greetings Holiday set
was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto
pink cardstock. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and cut out a
banner with one of the Banner Basics Dies. To create the right width,
I used partial die cutting. I die cut a white stitched strip with the
smallest Slimline Pennant Dies to
go behind the sentiment banner which I popped up with foam tape as well.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Merry
Christmas to everyone!
Hello there! It's Franci here with
you today with a cute Christmas card, showcasing the Holiday Express stamp set. Aww look at my Christmas express with all the Santa's reindeer and gifts! I love it so much!!
First of all I created a slimline panel with the Stitched Rectangle Dies ( using the partial die cutting technique) out of dark
blue and white cardstock, then I die cut a snowy hill out of the white one
using the Slimline Nature Borders Dies.I stamped, colored with Copics and die cutall the images and added lots of details to them all with my
white gel pen.
I stamped my sentiment at the bottom of my snowy hill and glued
it onto my blue panel. Then I created a slightly bigger card base and a matching
panel out of kraft cardstock and glued down all my elements as you
see.
I added all my images with foam adhesive and then drew little
white dots here and there to create a snowy scene + I added some sparkle to all
the Christmas gifts!
Building this scene was so much fun, can't wait to wish one of
my loved ones Happy Christmas with it! Thanks a lot for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hello! It’s Juliahere and
this time I want to share this fun polar express card with you!
For this one, I
stamped the images from Holiday Expresson Bristol Smooth cardstock and colored them with Zig Clean Color
Markers.
I ink blended a slimline background with Distress Oxide inks and added lots of
snowy splatters! I used the Slimline Nature Borders to create a hill for my scene. I heat embossed the sentiment in
white onto black cardstock.
Then, it was
already time to build my scene! I added critters and presents to the wagons and
Santa to the train! I adhered a few Lacy Snowflakes to fill the background and then glued down the sentiment in the
top right corner!
I just love
creating scenes like this and I had so much fun with this one! If you want to know which colors I used and how the card came
together, you can check out the video above!
I hope you have
a wonderful holiday and a very Merry Christmas!
I started by taking a 5 inch square card. Cut a white mat layer and then using the biggest of the Stitched Semi-Circle dies, cut it out in the center. Adhere the white part to the card base. Take the semi-circle, stamp the snowflakes from the Deck the Halls stamp, emboss using white embossing powder. Sponge salty ocean, blueprint sketch and wilted violet distress inks. Flick white paint and let dry. Stamp the images, color using Copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies.
Assemble the
scene and adhere the semi-circle panel to the card, it will fit like a puzzle.
I then die-cut the veins from the Pristine Poinsettia die,
dab it with Versamark ink. Emboss using WOW! Metalline Kiwi Crush embossing
powder. Cut the veins to get the single vein and adhere to the card. Stamp
sentiment.
This is my last
post before Christmas, so I wish you all Merry Christmas.

Hi folks, Kavya
here. I am back on the blog with another fun project to share with you all!
Some of my fav stamps are the ones that are small in size but have infinite
possibilities! SSS’s new Lazy Christmas stamp stamp is one such set. I also adore
puns so that’s another reason to fall in love with this tiny gem!
I first started off by ink blending a mini slimline sized
cardstock using Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire and Seedless Preserve Distress
Oxide inks. Then, for the base, I used the brown stripped pattern paper
from Dots and Stripes Jewel
Tones paper pack. Later, I stamped and colored
images from Lazy Christmas, Seasonal Trees and Scenic Route stamp
set. For the trees, I drew some snow caps using a black gel pen before coloring
it in!
Finally, I heat
embossed a sentiment from Lazy Christmas to finish off my card! Wasn’t that
simple? I love how this turned out! Hope this inspires you today :) Happy
crafting!
