Galaxy Christmas Card with Natalia

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! Natalia is here.  Today I would like to show you galaxy card made with SNOWFLAKES stamp set.

I took a piece watercolor paper and coloured the panel with Gansai Tambi watercolor paint. Once it was dry I added splatter with white, golden and silver paint. After all the splatter was dry, I heat embossed snowflake images from SNOWFLAKES stamp set using white embossing powder.

I die cut out the word Merry out of gold glittered cardstock using a die from MERRY POINSETTIA die set. Next, I heat embossed the sentiment from MERRY POINSETTIA stamp set using white embossing powder. I die cut a piece of vellum and gold glittered frame using hexagon die from HALF STRIPED COVER DIE.

I adhered the panel onto a dark card base and embellished the card with some SHIMMERING ICE sequins.

Thank you so much for join me today have a great day!

Poinsettia Shaker Card with Isha Gupta

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a card using watercolor markers and a watercolor stencil technique.

I started by creating the background stencil layer. I dabbed green and teal distress oxide ink to the stencil, spritz it with water and put it on a watercolor mat layer color side down. Remove the stencil slowly and this leaves a subtle and beautiful faux watercolor look. Let this piece dry and then I die-cut it using the Elegant Scallop Oval die. Flick some gold paint to it.

Adhere the negative piece of the oval to the cardbase. I then adhere a piece of vellum to the back side of the mat layer to create a shaker. Put some some confelli and glitter on top of the negative piece, adhere glue all around the mat layer and adhere it to the cardbase.

Stamp and emboss the images using WOW! gold embossing powder. I colored them using Zig watercolor pens. Let it dry and then die-cut it. Flick a bit of white paint.

Adhere the images. I then die-cut the word “MERRY” and embossed it using WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Ultra High powder. This give it a raised 3D effect. Adhere the word and the sentiment to the card.

Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day!

Lots of Gifts Slider Tag with Liliya

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Winter Holidays

Happy Friday, everyone!
I had so much fun playing with the Slider Tag Die Set. It’s a great set with lots of dies, but for today’s post I only used the dies I needed to put a slider together.

First, I started working on my focal point. I stamped Kobi from KOBI BEARING GIFTS and coloured him with alcohol markers. I added some accents on the gifts with silver and gold gel pens. I die cut it out with coordinating die.

I die cut out the front of the tag and the inside tag out of white cardstock. For the back part of the tag I picked dark teal cardstock, and die cut out reinforcers out of the same cardstock.

I stamped images from Lots of Gifs Trimmings stamp set on the top part of the tag. I also stamped the gifts border on the bottom of the inside part and a sentiment from GIFT TAG GREETINGS: WINTER.

I decided to keep the colouring simple, otherwise the tag would turn out to be too busy, and only coloured some accents on the gifts using the same colours of alcohol markers that I used on the gifts carried by Kobi. To tie the white top with the rest of the tag I ink blended the edges of the tag using Studio Katia INK BLENDER BRUSHES and Peacock Feathers Oxide Ink which matched the teal cardstock perfectly.

I assembled the tag using strong double sided tape and adhered Kobi to the moving part of the tag, making sure to glue him to the bottom part only. I also used silver and golden embroidery thread to make twine for the tag.

I left the inside of the tag plain – a spot to write a personal message.

I hope this will give you some ideas for creating your own Slider Tags. And this kind of tag would be perfect for any occasion really.

Have a wonderful and inspiring day!

Christmas Card with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello, friends!

Today I’m sharing a simple Christmas card featuring just a bit of stencilling, light blending and heat embossing. This card use our brand new products.

I used a stunning Floral Snowflake Stencil. This is one of the most beautiful designs I’ve ever seen. I think I’ll be using this stencil a lot this year for my Holiday cards and probably even in the years to come. It’s just that pretty.

I started to work on this card by making background. And it’s so simple! I just shaded triangle in dark green ink onto the light green cardstock. That is the silhouette of a Christmas tree turned out. Next I applied white paste through the stencil in different places onto my panel. For quick drying paste I used a hair dryer. lol

Then I did a sentiment panel. For this I used new Slider Tag Die.  But I dye cut only one tag from the red cardstock. Here I heat embossed the sentiments using GIFT TAG GREETINGS: WINTER stamp set.

I adhered the background panel to A2 white card base, I foam mounted the sentiment panel over it and tied the string with the pompoms on the tag. Also to embellish the card I used VINTAGE SHIMMER PEARLS. There are very few of them, only two, but it is there and adds a nice finishing touch to the card.

I hope you will give this idea a try. Have fun!

XO

Winter Wishes with Laura

/ CATEGORIES - Other


Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with a card I created with the new Floral Snowflake stencil and the Holiday Village stamp set. There is also a video tutorial for you at the end of this post, in case you are interested.


I started off the card by creating the background on some Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock. I die cut an A2 sized panel with the Darling Ribbon and Frames dies and did some ink blending with Distress Oxides in Blueprint Sketch and Shaded Lilac. I then used the Floral Snowflake stencil and the Faber Castell Glass Bead Glitter Gel to create two large snowflakes on opposite corners of the background. 

I left the gel aside to dry and started working on my images. I used the Holiday Village stamp set and my ColourBlend pencils for my coloring. I the die cut them all with the coordinating dies. 

For my sentiment I used stamps from the Holiday Winter stamp set – I created a banner from some white cardstock and stamped the greeting Holiday Wishes from Our Home to Yours.
Before adhering everything to my background, I added some extra detail and sparkle to it with Perfect Pearls. I diluted them with water and created some droplets with a paintbrush. 

I raised the images and the sentiment banner over some foam tape and mounted everything on a top folding A2 card base.

Cute and simple Christmas card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Winter Holidays

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts here with you today and what is a better way to start a week than with cute Christmas card?

Take a look at what I created:

Christmas is aproaching with lightning speed, so I must admit that my card are getting simpler and simpler each week in order to get all of them done.

I started making this card by coloring a deer from Friends of winter stamp set and three trees from Holiday village set. I decided to go with a alcohol markers as a coloring medium, since I love the clean look it gives.

Next, I used a Light ray stencil in the top left corner to get a bold background. I used distress oxide in Broken china first on the stencil and then I removed the stencil and used new Studio Katia brushes to add some light blue next to the rays.

The only thing missing on this card was a sentiment, so I stamped ‘Merry Christmas’ from Gift tag greetings: Winter. I wanted a clean look, so I used white paper and black ink.

I glued everything together using double-sided foam tape and Studio Katia glue and the card was finished!

Thank you so much for joining me!

CAS Happy Holidays Card by Ilda

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Winter Holidays

Well hello again friends, Ilda here!

Today I have the perfect card to mass-produce for the Holidays! It was one of those cards that came together so easily and so quickly that I have to share with you my process.

To start I die cut a piece of green and red cardstock out using the HALF STRIPED COVER. I then flipped over the die-cut green layer and glued it to the red layer. Because you will be seeing the underside of the die-cut piece, make sure your cutting plates are new or smooth, or you can use a piece of cardstock underneath to avoid the transfer of impressions onto the paper.

I then glued the panel onto the card base.

Next, I stamped out the Happy Holidays stamp from the GIFT TAG GREETINGS:WINTER onto black cardstock and then white heat embossed the letters, trimmed the piece out and then added to the center of the card front.

To finish off the card and to make it look like a present, I added the die-cut bow from the ELEGANT SCALLOP OVAL die set and glued an ICY SPARKLE CRYSTAL to the bow.

Thank you for stopping by, hope you enjoyed this quick and easy tutorial.

Until next time… Happy Crafting!

Ilda
