Merry Christmas with Guest Designer Maria
Hi peeps!
This is Maria from Krumspring – I am so honored to be here, guest designing for sweet Katia. Her products pretty much rock, right?
I have 2 christmas cards to share with you.
I looooove this little reading fox from the brand new stamp set Foxes. I have put him on top of this pile of presents and then I wrote “jul” in the little subject space on the book. Jul means Christmas in danish. I imagine him sitting there reading Christmas stories or singing jingle bells.
I used the Christmas tree from Origami Winter and topped the card off with some snowflakes embellishments, lipstick red sequins and majestic sequins.
A little closeup so you can see the colouring and details a bit better.
For my second card I used the new Elongated Dotted Hexagondie and again the Origami Winter Christmas tree (I love that tree, lol). I also used the snowflake for that set, embossed it white and did some inkblending for the background. It’s very strong coloured ha ha..
As with the first card I also added some sparkles in the shape of Majestic sequins, snowflake embellishments and some clear heart drops.
Well that is it from me today – thank you for having me Katia !
Merry Christmas everybody.
Hugs
Maria

Merry Christmas Card
Hello friends,
Valentyna here popping up to share another Christmas card. For this card, I used new Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames | Creative Dies to make a window panel from SSS woodgrain cardstock.
For the focal point, I went with an origami tree from the Origami Winter stamp set for one more time. Looks like this tree is my favorite for the season. I colored the tree with Zigs and adhered it to the base with 3D foam tape. To finish my card off I stamped sentiment from the same set and added Holiday Cheer Fusion sequins.
Thank you for stopping by!

Snowflakes Shaker Card
Hi everyone.
Svitlana here and in this card I want to feature a very interesting shaker filler – snowflakes. They’re plastic, matte and have some thickness. And they look more realistic, then snowflake sequins.
The inner part of the shaker I made out of dark blue cardstock, I cut it using Creative Nested Squares die set. Several snowflakes and dots from Happy Snowflakes set were white embossed on it.
The card base and the shaker border are made out of Neenah Solar White cardstock, and the dimensional part I cut out from white foam.
I used regular foam, not sticky back one. To make it sticky I adhered Stick-It sheets on the both sides. It’s so thin, that I didn’t have any problems at all die-cutting foam with Stick-It on both sides.
Inside of the shaker I placed snowflakes mentioned as well as some Icy Clear Seed Beads. Lastly I stamped the sentiment.
Shakers are fun cards, especially they’re fun for recipients. But they’re a bit more time consuming to make. So I this time I decided to go with the simpler design. And like how it turned out.
I like how clean it is. With some deep blue in the shaker window. I imagine this card as a view on a snowy night through the window 😉
Have a wonderful day!
Happy Winter

Origami Tree in Soft Colors
Hello friends,
Valentyna here and today I want to share another Christmas card using Origami Winter stamp set. I haven’t done any card with this kind of colors. Not Christmas colors. I love how everything came together.
Firstly, I embossed tree and the piece of watercolor paper with SSS Lattice background stamp and Hero Arts white powder. I colored tree and background with Zigs: 032 – Persian Blue, 051 Lemon Yellow, 091 Light Gray, 045 Pale Green.
I finished my card off with PTI Holiday Market stamp on the curved banner.
Thank you for stopping by!

Merry Christmas Watercolor Card
Hello everyone!! Laurie here back to share a Christmas card with one of my favorite stamp sets!! Its called Origami Winter and it’s just fabulous!!
I started by heat embossing the tree, the present and the star in white embossing powder on some watercolour cardstock. If you look closely, I stamped a couple of stockings as well but messed up and overlapped them. It’s ok, i ended up cutting that side off :).
My watercoloring medium of choice lately has been the Stabilo 68 markers. I have the set of 30 but really want them all!! I find these pens/markers so easy to work with and the colors are super vibrant!!!
I coloured my images in with traditional Christmas colours: red, green and a touch of gold and did a light wash of blue behind. I trimmed the panel down to approximately 3.5 X 5.5.
You can see here that I have everything adhered. I used some gold glitter tape directly on the card base and used some sequins from the Classic Christmas Sequins Fusion mix. What you don’t see here is the sentiment. I ALWAYS do this to myself!!! But I wasn’t going to give up!! I placed my card into my Mini Misti and chose a sentiment, which is also from the Origami Winter set.
Now because the background was watercolored AND heat embossed, I knew that the sentiment was likely not going to stamp perfectly, and I was right. I used Versafine Black Onyx ink and there is one tiny place that the sentiment overlapped some of the white embossing and didn’t stamp. I could have stamped it on a tiny strip and just adhered it over but I really didn’t want any distractions from the background. In the end, I LOVE IT!!!! And I hope you do too!! 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by today!!

Happy Holidays
Hi everyone, quickly popping in to share a fun holiday card.
I stamped the trees and marked triangle with a pencil, I used 4 shades of green to color the triangles, I didn’t do any blending. It’s been a while since I used copics and so happy that they didn’t bleed on the project. After coloring I cut them out and traced the lines with gold pen.
With Brush Strokes I wanted to create a snowy wind effect, I use light blue and stamped in circular motion.
I used Mini Misti to stamp the sentiment. I placed the trees down with foam squares and added a few Gold Sequins.
The mini triangles were inspired by Maria.
I hope you like it, have a wonderful day!
Katia
