Reindeer Christmas Tag

Hello everyone!! I'm here to share another tag that I made yesterday.






I cut a piece of red card stock to be the tag base and punched out a hole at the top. I stamped the reindeer and sentiment from the Hero Arts Swirl Christmas stamp set and embossed it in white. I added Nuvo drops ivory seashell for some snow effect. It is gorgeous in real life! I'm loving this Nuvo drops. I took a string of Baker's twine and tied it through the hole at the top. I might add this tag to a card base to make a simple card. I haven't thought it out yet. I'll let you know what I do.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Stars Christmas card

Hello everyone!! I'm here to share a Christmas card that I made just now.


This is a really clean and simple card. I stamped the stars from the Hero Arts Swirl Christmas repeatedly on white card stock with Simon Says Stamp cobblestone ink . The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Tree-mendous Christmas. I used this sketch with a little twist.

Silver Snowglobe

Hello everyone!! I'm here to share a snowglobe card that is not a shaker.






I used the svg file from Birds cards to cut the snow globe shape. I took a piece of navy blue card stock and stamped the reindeer from the Hero Arts Swirl Christmas and embossed it in silver. I really love the silver on navy blue combo. I cut the remaining pieces of the snow globe in silver foil paper ( that I bought from Dollar Tree last year). I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and embossed it in silver. I added few Nuvo drops ivory seashell around the reindeer.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Star Christmas Tag

Hello everyone!! I'm here to share a tag that I made recently.


 This tag was inspired by Tracy's 25Days of Christmas Tags. I cut out a piece of red card stock for the card base and punched out a hole. I stamped stars from the Hero Arts Swirl Christmas repeatedly and embossed them in white. The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Tree-mendous Christmas. Actually, I used the word 'Merry' from one sentiment and the word 'Christmas' from another. I added some Nuvo drops ivory seashell for tiny stars. I added bakers twine and made a bow.

Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know what you think about the tag.

Sparkle & Merry Snowflakes

Hello everyone! I'm here to share another Christmas card recently.

Here's what I made:






I masked off an area of my card stock and stamped the snowflakes from Hero Arts Swirl Christmas stamp set and Hero Arts Tree-mendous Christmas Stamp set repeatedly using Simon Says Stamp Cobblestone ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Hero Arts Tree-Mendous Christmas using the same ink. I also colored a thin strip of white card stock with the same ink and added it just where the stamping ended. I added Nuvo drops Liquid mercury and Ivory seashell to add some more interest to the CAS card.

So how do you like it? Thanks for stopping by. Thank you for all the comments on my previous posts. I enjoy reading your thoughts.

Blessed Christmas Wreath

Hello everyone!! A quick post to share a Christmas card that I made recently.

Here's what I made:






I stamped the Hero Arts Color A Wreath with black ink on a piece of white cardstock. I initially thought of using ranger liquid pearls in pink to make pearl accents inside the circles. But when I dropped a big blob on the biggest circle, it didn't maintain a pearl shape but fell flat. So I took a painting brush and used it to paint my bow and another big circle. For the smaller circles, I used it to create pearls. For the grey color, I used Nuvo drop liquid mercury. That on the other hand maintained a perfect pearl shape even in the largest circle. The sentiment is from Verve Stamps Christmas Blessings. I layered the white panel on pink card base.





Here's a closer look at the wreath. The liquid pearls and Nuvo drops both have a beautiful shine.

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave your thoughts and comments.

Snow Globe Robin

Hello everyone!! I wanted to share a card that I made recently.

I've always loved snow globes. They've always fascinated me, right from my childhood, though I've never had one till now!! So here's what I've made:


I bought this Bird stamp some time back, but I had not used it. So I decided to give it a try. I colored it with my copics. I inked the background with Distress Ink Broken China. I stamped a few branches from the Inkadinkado Branches stamp set. The sentiment is from Unity Stamps Our Hearts to Yours.






I used the SVG file from Bird's cards. I used the faux snow from Dollar Tree for the shaker part.

So how do you like the card? Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate you leaving your thoughts and comments.

Watercolored Christmas Card

Hello everyone!! It's time for the mid month inspiration here at Where The HeART Is. Our theme this month is Christmas Colors. Here's what I made to inspire you:


This is my first trial at 'freehand' water coloring. I used a rough pencil sketch as guide. Well, it's far from being perfect, but I guess it's ok for a first try. I used Yasutomo Pearlescent water color paint. It has a shimmer to it.



I love how the brush lettering has turned out. What do you think? Do you have any tips or tricks that you follow?

Please visit the Where The HeART Is blog for more inspiration.

Christmas Window Shaker Card

Hello everyone!! I should have posted this card yesterday. I'm so sorry for the delay. It's been a hectic week. It's time for a new challenge here at the Unstampabelles. Out theme this month is to add sparkle and the twist is to make us smile!! The prize for this month is a $20 Aust. Gift Voucher to an on-line shop of choice.

Here's what I decided to make:


I decided to use sequins for the sparkle, and there's something about shaker cards that make me smile. I merged two SVGs from The Lady Wolf - Window panes and cut it using my Cricut. I reused acetate from an old packaging. The sequins are from Dollar Tree. I hand drew the leaves and berries on top and the snow. The sentiment is also hand-written.

This is one of the card for the Caring Hearts Card Drive.

We had my daughter's 2nd birthday party yesterday. The theme was Minnie Mouse. I was busy this entire week making banner and buying return gifts. I will post the banner and other decorations that I made soon. I'm still behind on visiting your blogs. I hope I will make it this week.

Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know your thoughts and comments.

Shaker Ornament

Hello everyone!! I've been quiet for a few days. Life got busy and so I had to take some time. I'm here to share a shaker card that I made recently.



I had this thought on my mind for a long time - to make a card with a shaker ornament that hangs from a pine branch. But was little hesitant to try it - the shaker part was a little bit intimidating!! But after seeing one of the Blitsy live sessions, I went ahead and gave it a try (I don't have a fuse tool. I used the old school method).


I stamped the pine branches from the Inkadinkado branches set and embossed it with Stampendous Jade Pearl embossing powder and the brown part with Clear bark embossing powder. I stamped the ornament from Joanna Sheen Make A Wish set on the cardstock and embossed the holder with gold embossing powder. I cut out the ball part of the ornament. I stamped the ornament on a piece of acetate (I recycled a piece of package) and embossed it with gold embossing powder. I used tiny pieces of foam tape around the ornament and added brown, gold and green sequins inside.



The sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy - Christmas Penguins Clear Stamp Set and I embossed it with the Clear bark embossing powder from Stampenduous.

This is one of the cards for the Caring Hearts card drive.

Poinsettia Bouquet

Hello everyone!! Hope you are having a beautiful day!! First of all, I want to thank you all for the wonderful comments that you've been leaving on my blog posts. Though I'm not able to reply to them as I used to, I read through each one of them and they make me smile!! It makes my day!!

With that feeling of gratitude and satisfaction, let me show you my card for today. It's another Christmas card that I made using Winnie & Walter's In Bloom: Hollie's Festive Florals.


I stamped the Poinsettia outline alone from the Winnie & Walter stamp set, twice for each flower (six in total) and colored it with markers. Then I fuzzy cut the top layer of the poinsettia from one flower (3 in total). I stamped and gold embossed the flower center stamp in the center and layered this fuzzy cut top layer piece on top of the wholeflower fuzzy cut piece. Did I make any sense? If you have any doubts, please let me know. I will try to explain it a bit more.


I stamped the one of the branches from the Winnie & Walter stamp set and I used 2 other branches from the Inkadinkado Branches stamp set. I stamped the tag from Whimsy Stamps Mini Christmas Gift Tags and embossed it with gold powder. I decided I wanted to do a frame around this bouquet. So I cut a frame using my paper trimmer and embossed it with gold powder.

What do you think about this card? Thanks for stopping by and please let me know your thoughts. This is one of the cards for Caring Hearts Card Drive.

Poinsettia And Pines

Hello everyone!! Here's another Christmas card that I  made recently. While making these cards, I realized that I love to make my own pattern papers using various stamps. You can see all my Christmas cards and projects by clicking on the tab above.

Here's my card:


I stamped the poinsettias (big and small) from Joanna Sheen's Make a Wish stamp set and the pine branches from the Inkadinkado Branches stamp set. I used my gold gel pen to add a few dots to fill in spaces. I used the Hero Arts Royal Red and Forever Green inks for stamping them. I really love this color combination on the ivory card stock. Then I cut it into two pieces - in a slanting line. I used two thin strips of card stock which I embossed with gold embossing powder, as a border. The sentiment is from Unity Stamps' Unto us stamp set. I embossed it with gold embossing powder. The poinsettia is handmade (similar to the one in my previous post). I used my flower punch to cut the layers. I used tiny green rhinestones for more interest.

This is one of the cards for Caring Hearts Card Drive.

Poinsettia Bouquet

Hello everyone!! It's time for the final week inspiration at the Unstampabelles. Our theme this month is Anything Goes with a twist to add flowers.

Here's what I made to inspire you:


The poinsettias are handmade. I used my punches and colored them with markers. I also drew the veins (The red part of the poinsettias are actually leaves that change color and the yellow part in the center are the actual flower bunches). For the golden beads on the center, I used some microbeads that I bought from the nail art section of Dollar Tree. I The leaves are cut using the MS pine branch punch. I added pearls to look like berry sprays. I also made a bow from red sheer ribbon for a final finishing look to this bouquet. I use combs to help me with tying the bow.

Please visit the Unstampabelles blog for more inspiration. And please remember not to use any stamps!!

This is one of the cards for Caring Hearts Card Drive.

Silver Tree

Hello everyone!! It's time for a new challenge here at Fairy Tales Challenge. Our new theme for this challenge is to make Christmas projects without red and green.

Here's what I've made to inspire you:


Many of us have memories of Christmas cards from our childhood. I remember a particular Christmas card from when I was a small kid (early 90's), that was dark navy blue and it had a snow scene in silver holographic foil. I loved that card and color scheme. So I decided to make one with the same combination.

The swirly tree is a die cut using  a file from Bird's cards. I embossed it with Zing silver embossing powder. The sentiment is from Unity Stamps - Unto us stamp set. I embossed it with the same silver embossing powder.

This is one of the cards for Caring Hearts Card Drive.

Penguin Gift

Hello everyone!! I'm here to share a winter themed card that I made. Sweet n Sassy stamps is celebrating their birthday and I made this card to take part in their happiness.

Here's my card:



I used the Penguin stamp set from Sweet n Sassy Penguin Christmas stamp set. I have this stamp for more than a year now. Though I've used all the sentiments in the set, I have never used the 3 images with penguins, for fear of coloring them. Finally I mustered up courage and inked them up this weekend and colored them with my markets. I'm quite satisfied with the outcome.


I added some glitter glue for the fur on the cap. I added a red sheer ribbon ( bought from Dollar Tree) with a triple bow. I then mounted it on red card base.

This image and the sentiment can be used on many occasion during winter.

This is one of the cards for Caring Hearts Card Drive.

Pink Poinsettia

Hello everyone!! It's time for new inspiration for our current challenge at the Unstampabelles. Our current them is Anything goes with a twist to add flowers. Like I mentioned in my earlier post, I'm in the mode of making Christmas cards for the Caring Hearts Card drive :)

Here's what I made to inspire you:


I love wreaths. I wanted to make a pink Christmas card after seeing so many cards on Pinterest. So I went ahead and made a pink one for you. I hand drew and fuzzy cut the poinsettia (I cut 3 leaves in a layer and used 4 layers for this one). I used my MS pine branch punch to cut out the leaves. All the embellishments are pearls, half pearls and liquid pearl (I had this bottle for almost a year now and finally decided to use it). I used a twine (this one I bought it in India in Itsy Bitsy - almost 2 years ago :D) for the bow. A closer look at the wreath.


I used my border punch to make the fancy lacey border on the white panel. I used a light pink card base for this one, ti match with the wreath.

This is one of the cards for Caring Hearts Card Drive.

Hope you are inspired by this one. Do check out what other DT members have created at the Unstampabelles blog. You are sure to get inspired to make something!!

Starry Night Nativity

Hello everyone!! You might already know that I'm one of the guest designers for Fairy Tale Challenge Blog for this quarter. I'm so excited to be working with the team. It's time for a new challenge and our theme is to use starry sky or cosmos.

Right now, I'm on Christmas mode and here's what I created :)


I inked a piece of white cardstock with DI Tumbled glass, Weathered wood, Iced Spruce, Black soot and another blue ink. I hand drew all the stars - some were embossed with Zing silver embossing powder and for some I used silver glitter gel pen. For the star pointing to the manger, I drew a bigger star on a piece of paper, fuzzy cut it and embossed it with silver embossing powder.



I was planning to cut the manger silhouette on my Cricut, but my laptop is not working once again :(. So I had to hand draw and cut it. I used a white tissue paper as a backing for the silhouette and used DI Squeezed lemon for the halo and some light. The sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy Christmas Penguins stamp set. I embossed it with the same silver embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by. Please forgive me for the image quality. My laptop is still not working and I'm using my husband's for posting this. I tried to use some online image editing software which I'm new to, so it's taking me some time to learn it. Also, my comments on your blogs may be in a small sentence. I do love to leave large comments, but typing on my mobile is definitely not something I enjoy :) Thank you so much for understanding.

This is one of the cards for Caring Hearts Card Drive.

Blue Snowflakes

Hello everyone!! It's time for a new challenge at Where the Heart Is. This month our theme is 'Winter Blues'. Here's what I made to inspire you:


I stamped the snowflakes from ODBD Snowflake mini set and embossed them with Stampenduous Blue tinsel, Zing silver, Wow! clear gloss and Wow! opaque white on a piece of white card stock. I then sponged DI Tumbled glass on to it.


I stamped the 'Have yourself a Merry little Christmas' tag from the Whimsy Stamp Christmas mini gift tags set and embossed it with the Stampenduous blue tinsel embossing powder. The shine of this is awesome. I also wrapped a bow around the panel and added a triple bow with a pearl brad at the center. I tied the tag to hand from the center of the bow.
