Layered Snowflake Merry&Bright card

11/26/2021

I always enjoy making Christmas cards with a snowflake as a center piece. For the card below, I used the color pink because I haven't seen a lot of people use pink for Christmas cards yet, and I wanted to try something new. I love how the word "Merry" contrasts with the snowflake.

First, I created a background using a very light pink cardstock. I blended the cardstock with some Distress Oxide ink in Kitsch Flamingo, Spun Sugar, and Seedless Preserves using a blending brush. Then I embossed the blended cardstock with a snowflake embossing folder.

After completing the background, I die cut two sets of snowflakes from Lawn Fawn out of some lavender and white cardstock. I layered the white cardstock snowflake with the lavender cardstock snowflake. I also die cut the word “ MERRY” and added glossy a accent on the "MERRY" for the shine.

The final step is putting the layered snowflake on the center of the cardstock. I also added some white dots on the card itself using a gel pen and some crystal beads for some bling. The layered snowflake Christmas card is then completed.

BELIEVE in the magic of Christmas with a country village in a starlight ombré background

First, to create the background, I blended the distress oxide ink onto the card, spritzed some water on the card, and then padded it dry with a paper tower to create a "water marks" effect.

For the sentiment, I stamped the "believe" using distress oxide ink in Wilted Violet and then went over the letters with the Versamark watermark ink, to make it sticky. After that, I heat embossed the text with clear embossing powder.

After I heat embossed the word " believe," I die cut it out, along with the house and wreath below.

I decided to add some more stars in the sky. Unfortunately, while I was gluing the wreath and the star, I noticed that the glue stained the background.

Because of the staining issue, I changed the adhesive to Sticky peck instead of glue.

To make the house more interesting and more detailed, I added some pieces of die cut for some additional dimension.

This is the final look of the card. I really like how the color of the word "Believe" matches the background. As well as the look of the house with the star wreath.

Clearly Besotted Magical Christmas in pastel | STAMPtember 2021

I am sharing this whimsical Christmas card with a rainbow, fluffy clouds, a Christmas tree and an adorable unicorn. The stamp set I used is a Simon Says stamp from the STAMPtember collaboration release with Clearly Besotted. I have previously created another card using the same stamp set. You can see it here. This is a simple and easy to make card, and I love the look of pastel. Hope you like it!

For this card, I wanted everything to stay in soft tones so all the Copics I chose were very light in color. You can see the color numbers are listed below. Once the coloring was finished, I die cut all the pieces, making the card ready for assembly.

This Christmas card is set in a very whimsical scene. The cute unicorn looks just like a stuffed animal, which I absolutely love. The rainbow, the fluffy clouds and the Christmas tree in the circular card goes really well with the white 3D snowflakes in the background.

First, I stamped the rainbow, clouds, Christmas tree and animals with the VersaFine Clair ink in Nocturne, and then colored them with Copic markers. At this point, I have not decided which stamps will go on the card, so I colored them all. I have saved some stamped animals for another card.

For the background, I have decided to leave it white and embossed it using the Stampin Up Wintry Snowflake embossing folder. Since the folder was designed to be 3" by 6", I embossed the top and the bottom sections of the panel individually to cover the whole panel. Before I assembled the card, I added some foam tape on the stamped items to add some dimension. Then I put all of the components together.

Magic of Christmas! Favorite flake

This is an adorable wintery unicorn clear stamp set from Whimsy stamps. Who doesn't like snowflakes and unicorns? I think we all dream of catching snowflakes with a unicorn friend!

First, I stamped the images with the VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink, and then colored them with Copic markers.

For the background, I blended the panel using the distress oxide ink in the color Wilted Violet with a blending brush, and then splashed some white dots on the panel using white acrylic paint as snow. After that, I positioned the girl and unicorn on the panel, and then I arranged the snowflakes to make it look like the snow was about to fall on their tongues.

I chose the "Magic of Christmas" sentiment for the card from the Tim Holtz's tiny text Christmas stamp set. The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder and then cut into strips.

Sparkling Winter

This is another card that I made using a snowflake background stamp for a winter scene. This time I used embossed glitter and Sapphire jewels to add more bling to the card.

First, I used ink blending on the panel with a distress oxide blueprint sketch ink pad. Starting from all of the edges, I blended and slowly lighted the ink up towards the center. When the panel dried completely, I stamped the snow flurry stamp using a watermark ink pad and then heat embossed the panel with the Wow! silver embossed glitter.

I chose three sentiments for the card from the Tim Holtz's tiny text Christmas stamp set. The sentiments were heat embossed with white embossing powder and then cut into strips. I then heat embossed some extra sentiments to save them for later.

Snowfall turns the season into sparkling winter. It is a magical time to dash through the snow and walk in a winter wonderland.
