Christmas Stars

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! Today I have 3 different variations of a similar pattern of Christmas card that is easy for making in batches. 

I used 2 different card stocks for these cards. The one on the left is a white core card stock, the one on the right is solid core. I used the Simon Says Stamp - Refined Snowflakes 3D embossing folder on both. The golden star shape is from Heartfelt Creations. The sentiment is stamped on matching cardstock with gold ink. 

For this card, I used Simon Says Stamp - Holiday Greenery 3D embossing folder. The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping stamp set, which I stamped in red and fussy cut.

Poinsettia Joy

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have a floral Christmas card. 

I used the Altenew - Poinsettia 3D die set to die cut the poinsettia in coral color and added shading with copics. For the center of the poinsettia, I used Altenew enamel dots. I die cut a few branches from the Altenew - Berries and Branches and colored them with copics as well. I did cut the card base with Scrapbook.com Arch dies. I did cut another smaller arch and embosse it with Altenew - Deck Planks 3D embossing folder. I arranged the florals on the card base layered with the brown card stock and adhered them down. For the sentiment, I die cut Altenew - Fancy Enjoy die and removed the e and n from it to use the word Joy. 

What do you think? Please do let me know. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day.

Christmas Lantern

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. I have another Christmas card for you today, using Simon Says Stamp Antique Lamp 3D Embossing Folder. 

I started by embossing my background grey cardstock with Simon Says Stanp - Wispy Pine Needle 3D Embossing Folder and inking the edges with Memento London Fog ink. I die cut the Antique lamp from the SSS Antique Lamp 3D Embossing Folder and embossed only the die cut part with the 3D Embossing folder. I colored it with copics and added some shimmer to the snow and candle with gold wink of Stella that has been in my stash for more than 7 years now. I die cut some pine branches using the Elizabeth Craft Designs - White Pine Pinecone and Bough. The pine one is using the die set from The Greetery. I tried to capture the shimmer from the Wink of Stella, but it doesn’t do it justice.

Christmas Candle

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today, I have a Christmas card with a candle and floral arrangement. 

I used the Simon Says Stamp - Wispy Pine Needle 3D Embossing Folder for background on a grey card stock and then inked the edges with Memento London Fog ink. Love the detail on the folder. The inking of the edges adds such a depth to the scene. I die cut the rest of the pieces with Honey Bee Stamps - Winter Bouquets die set. I used copics to color the pieces I die cut from colored cardstock. I used coral cardstock for the poinsettia and the berries, red for the bow, brown for the pine cones, green for the pine bough and white for the rest. I thought of leaving this without a sentiment for now.

Christmas Greetings Snowflakes

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have another Christmas card using a 3D embossing folder. 

I embossed a piece of cardstock with Simon Says Stamp Refined Snowflakes 3D Embossing Folder and then inked it with 2 different shades of aqua/blue. I used the dies in the embossing folder to die cut the snowflake from glitter cardstock and embossed them in the folder. The sentiment is die cut from the same glitter cardstock using the Creative Expressions die. Added a few gems to finish the card.
