Merry Christmas!

****************************************************************************

Good morning!

Jessica here this morning stopping by to share several Christmas/Winter themed cards with you.  With all the things going on this week leading up to Christmas, I was unable to finish the card I had started and was planning on sharing with you today so I decided to look through my files to find some of my past favorites to show you today.

My first one uses the adorable Cozy Friends - I forgot how much I love those wintery animals in the circles!

My second card uses another one of my favorite Teddy Bears - sweet Rhubarb from Rhubarb's Christmas stamp set. I made this card a few years ago for my father-in-law whose birthday is on Christmas day.

My next card uses the lovely Vintage Ornaments with their coordinating dies.  This one shouts 'Nordic Christmas' to me and my Norwegian heritage!  Love the blue ornaments and woodgrain patterned paper together!

And, last but not least - this one with the GORGEOUS Poinsettia stamp set with coordinating die.  LOVE the traditional Christmas colors on this one and that paper pieced/colored flower was so fun to make.  I may be allergic to poinsettias in real life, the stamped version gives me only joy! 

I hope you have a very blessed Christmas season with your family and are able to spend some quality time with your loved one's celebrating our Savior's birth!

Christmas Starburst

 

Hi there, it's Ceal here to share with you today.

I know it's Halloween but not being much of a Halloween person I decided to share a Christmas card. It seems that Halloween has become the start of the Christmas season anyways. I am already seeing the Christmas commercials and all the Christmas decorations in the stores can put someone in the Christmas spirit.

For my card I stamped the Poinsettia and cut it out with the Matching Die and then colored it up with my copics. The sentiment is from another set Christmas Sentiments

I used a technique called Starburst where you just take strips of design paper and cut them at an angle and arrange them on your front to give a star burst appearance.

Happy Halloween

Square cards

Hello everyone! I have 2 cards to show you today. Let start with this 5" square Christmas card. Here I used Poinsettia Set and matching die. I had a lot of fun creating the background for this card, actually I made a whole page and just cut a piece for this card, so I have a lot more left to use :) First, I sprayed the watercolor page, then added Gelatos in Banana, Acqua Dolce and Blood Orange, mixed them all, then I used Mister Hueys's Sunset and Estate Green. After that I combined Embossing Paste and Amber Gold Paint and added it to the page using a chicken wire template, then let it dry (it takes few hours). Then I die-cut and piece of Watercolor paper using the Poinsettia die, stamped the Poinsettia image and color the image with Inktense Pencils.
I die-cut a border and label in White, stamped the sentiment in Olive Archival and cut half of the label.
Put all pieces together, add crystal lacquer to poinsettia and sprinkle glitter, then add crystal lacquer to the leaves, finally I added a couple of pearls.

Second card, it is super cute and simple. I used the remaining of the red cardstock, and I made a cute 3.5" square card. Die-cut and stamp wreath in Versamark Ink, add gold embossing powder and heat set. Stamp sentiment in Golden Glitz Delicata. Add a couple of pearls and your mini card is done!!

Hope you like them!
Have a fantastic day
