Non-Christmas Stamps on a Christmas Card with Laura

October 16, 2019 / CATEGORIES - News, Other, Winter Holidays

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a Christmas card I created by combining Christmas and non-Christmas stamps. There is also a video tutorial for you at the end of this post, if you’d like to see the step-by-step process.

The sets I used today are the Merry Poinsettia and the Kobi Bearing Gifts stamps sets. I started by stamping them on Neenah Solar White Cardstock with alcohol proof black ink and I then colored them with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. I created a color chart for you, if you’d like to use it as a reference.

Once I was done coloring, I die cut the images with the coordinating dies to the Merry Poinsettia and the Kobi Bearing Gifts stamps sets and I moved on to my background.
I die cut three panels out of some watercolor cardstock using dies in the Darling Ribbon and Frames, Dotted Patterns Set 3 and Scallop Frames sets.

I used the new Studio Katia blending brushes to add some color to my die cut rectangle and oval, over which I blended Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides, respectively.
The blending bushes feel so super soft and blending with them was really easy! You can see them in action in the video at the end of this post!

It’s hard to see in the pictures, but I added some shimmer to the scalloped rectangle using some Clear Sparkle Embossing Powder by Wow!. I stamped the smaller images in the Merry Poinsettia stamp set using Versamark ink over the entire panel, I coated them with the embossing powder, and I heat set the powder with my heat gun.

I also added some more sparkle to the card by coating some of the images with a Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay pen. It is hard to catch on camera, but in real life it’s really pretty!

As a final touch, I glued some Icy Sparkle Crystals to the card front (a new favorite of mine!).

Thank you all so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Christmas Shaker Card with Liliuska

October 9, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello Everyone! Have you finished making your Christmas cards? I sure hope you still have need to make some more, as I have a Christmas shaker card to share with you today. I used Studio Katia MERRY POINSETTIA stamp set. The flowers from this set are so beautiful and absolutely perfect for any Christmas card!

I stamped the images on Bristol Smooth cardstock with embossing ink and heat embossed them with gold embossing powder. For my medium I chose ZIG watercolour markers. I didn’t use any water here, simply blended with lighter colours.

For the shaker I die cut out a round frame our of golden glitter cardstock using a die from FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES. I cut out 4 more frames from white cardstock and glued them together, adhering a transparency between them and the golden glittery frame.

Since the frame is pretty big, I decided to glue some GOLD FOIL PEARLS inside the shaker window, before filling it with SPARKLING SEA CONFETTI, which I love to use for winter cards. I also added few GOLD FOIL PEARLS in the middle of each poinsettia. I die cut out a panel out of white woodgrain cardstock using largest die from MERRY POINSETTIA DIES.

After I adhered coloured images on top of the shaker frame, I decided to add a sentiment. The shaker frame was large enough to stamp a sentiment onto the shaker background (by the way, if you don’t like making shaker cards for winter holidays, you can simply use the layout and stamp the sentiment inside the frame), but I felt I needed another glittery element here and so I die cut out word MERRY from MERRY POINSETTIA DIES out of the same glitter cardstock as the frame and three more out of white cardstock. I glued them together shifting top die cut slightly off to give it a white shadow. I adhered everything onto a dark blue cardstock from my stash to match the colour of the poinsettias and the SPARKLING SEA CONFETTI.

Thank you for stopping by today and have a wonderful day!!

Simple Christmas card with Kaja

October 8, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi guys,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I will show you a simple Christmas card!

Take a look:

I decided to make a lot of Christmas card this year since I always run out of them, so making simple cards makes it a lot easier. I started by stamping out the poinsettia from Merry poinsettia stamp set which I colored in using ZIG watercolored markers.

Then I took a patterned paper in gray color and cut a wide strip out of it which I placed on the left hand side of the card.

Of course I also added a sentiment and this time I went with ‘Be merry’ which can also be found in Merry poinsettia stamp set.

For the last detail I added July crystals that corespond nicely with the red flower we have on a card.

As said, the card is really simple to be able to make a lot of Christmas card this year. Hope you like it.

Shark-tastic Christmas with Kaja

September 26, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I decided to make a fun Shark-tastic Christmas card!

Take a look:

First, I did the background for which I used distress oxides in three colors: Tumbled glass, Broken China and Chipped saphire. Once the ink blending was done I used some clean water and sprinkle it on it to get some cool splatters. Then, I used white ink and the Underwater sun rays stencil to add even more depth to the bacground.

Next, I used Scallop oblong die on the ink blended panel to give it a nice finnished look.

I wanted to make a fun holiday card, so I decided to combine images from Jawsome and Winter Kobi stamp sets. I went with masking technique, so it looks like the lady shark is wearing Santa’s hat and the boy shark in bringing a Christmas tree. I added some other images from Under the sea stamp set as a scene builder and color everything in using Alcohol markers.

Then, I stamped ‘Holiday wishes’ saying from Holiday village stamp set on a piece of gray cardstock. For some extra texture and detail I added some Clear drops around the Ocean background that look as air bubbles.

The last thing I did was glueing everything together using Studio Katia glue and some double sided tape.

Thanks for joining me,

Kaja

  • Studio Katia – Under the sea
  • Studio Katia – Jawsome
  • Studio Katia – Winter Kobi
  • Studio Katia – Holiday village

Christmas in July!

July 22, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there! Emily Midgett with you here today sharing some Christmas in July inspiration! I know. It’s approximately 19,173* outside, and summer is nowhere near over, but I had some of my holiday stuff out and thought “why not?” Never too early to get started on holiday cards! For today’s project, I focused on the Merry Poinsettia stamp set. I kept the color scheme simple, using bright pops of cherry red and black accents. Let’s get started with all of the details!

To start, I stamped all of the blooms from Merry Poinsettia, once on an A2 panel of cardstock in a swag in the bottom corner, and then the larger bloom, some foliage, and some berries on another panel of white card stock using Copic-friendly black ink. I then colored the images in with my Copic markers, using a bright, cheerful red combination for the flowers, with some muted sage green leaves and deep cherry red for the berries.

After I’d finished coloring the images, I fussy cut them with some detail scissors (though you could use the coordinating dies… I just didn’t have them!). I layered the die cuts approximately where I wanted them, then used that as a guide for my sentiment placement, also from Merry Poinsettia. After I’d stamped my greeting, I adhered the die cuts to the card front using foam adhesive.

Next, I added some Onyx Crystals to continue the elegant black, red, and white theme and add a bit of sparkle. I then used my T-square and black fineline pen to add a black frame around the edge of the white card front. I had it a little off-center, so I trimmed a bit off of the white A2 panel and mounted it in the center of a black panel to create a bit of a mat and center things up!

Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed this little foray into some holiday crafting. I was listening to my Pentatonix holiday albums while creating this project, and it’s totally got me wishing that summer would go a-way ASAP. (As though I didn’t already wish this miserably hot weather would disappear.) Anyway, thanks for stopping by today! Have a marvelous week!

Holiday Village with Kristina

January 30, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! It’s Kristina here.  Spring is on the corner, so I decided to make my last winter card this season.

I’ve started by stamping cute images from Holiday Village stamp set onto piece of watercolor paper with black inks. Then, I stamped it again onto masking paper and fussy cut the masks.

I masked the images and blended coral and orange inks over it and splattered the background with clean water. Next, I watercolored the images with my watercolors and added some details with colored pencils.

 

To finished my card, I stamped the sentiment with black ink and embellished my card with Pink Fusion sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!
