Christmas Ornaments

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! Today I have another Christmas card today, with some red ornaments. 

I started by die cutting some red ornaments using the Spellbinders - Heirloom ornaments die set on red and red holographic paper. On the red paper ornaments, I gold embossed the Hero Arts - holly stamp. For the background, I used the Altenew- Deck Planks 3D embossing folder. I die cut some Simon Says Stamp - Pine Needles Border on green cardstock and adhered it on top. The sentiment is from Creative Expressions.

Pinecone Wreath Ornament

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have Christmas card to share with you!

A week or so back, I took out some of my supplies (stamps and dies) that I haven't used at all or haven't used in a long time and put it on my craft table, hoping to get some inspiration to use them. I love this Hero Arts - Pinecone Wreath stamp, but I wasn't really sure how to use it. I had a few die cuts of the outer ornament part of the Hero Arts - Snowflake Ornament die cut lying around on my table. Deeing that, I thought of making an ornament with this wreath stamped in the center. Initially, I wanted to do a no-line coloring with Copics and stamped the image with Fadeout ink. Then I thought it would be better to use the leaves as is without coloring, so I stamped the image again with Memento green ink. Now the pine cones are also green, but I was able to color on top of it with Copics. I used brown shades to colors the pine cones. Then I ink blended the edges with the same green ink. The sentiment is from an Inspired By Stamping - Poinsettia stamp set, which I heat embossed in gold. For the background, I used Altenew - Deck Planks 3D Embossing Folder. I die cut an ivy vine from Spellbinders - Susan's garden die set.

Christmas Pinecones and Ornaments

 Hello everyone!  I have a Christmas in July card with some pinecones and ornaments today.

I had this image of of Christmas ornaments hanging from a pine branch with pine cones in it with a kind of wood grain background on my mind, that was the inspiration for this card. I started by embossing a piece of 5 x 7 card stock with Craftwell - Woodgrain Cottage embossing folder and inked the raised edges with a light brown ink. Then I die cut all the pieces on my Craftwell SNAP. I used the Greetery - Botanicuts Pine Bough die set to die cut the pine cones on brown card stock. For the pine boughs, I used Spellbinders - Susan's Garden - Evergreen Foliage die set on light green card stock. I used my Copic markers to add some shading to the pine boughs. I used the Memory Box - Snowflake Ornament to die cut the ornaments. I used the Your Next Stamp - Merry Christmas die to cut the sentiment. Now it was just a matter of arranging the die cuts. I used liquid glue to adhere all of the die cuts. 

For the inside of the card, stamped a simple sentiment in black and stamped some pine bough and some berry branches from The Ton - Outline Holiday Cones in gold ink. This card is easy to make in batches, I made 20 of them. 

I loved how this turned out. Please let me know your thoughts and comments. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
