 Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing four more Christmas cards I created recently using stencils & foil plates.
These cards were created using Spellbinders Baubles & Festive Background Stencil which was the Stencil of the Month for October 2024. I used red & green inks for the baubles and then used a gold texture paste for the hanger. I used Waffle Flower Crafts Merry Christmas Duo & it’s coordinating foil plate for the sentiment for the two cards above. 
For this card, I used a Spellbinders sentiment which is the negative image of my foiled sentiment. 
When I was adding the gold texture paste, I got some where I didn’t want it. As I didn’t want to waste the panel, I cut the layers smaller for this one,
For the inside of my card I stamped a Christmas sentiment from Divinity Designs using Metallic Gold ink.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing another Christmas themed Floating Cube Fold Card using a tutorial by Sam Calcott, which you can find here.
This card folds down to 5 x 7 if you do the single row of cubes like I have for my card, or 7 x 7 if you have a row of cubes on each side of the white panel.
To decorate my card, I used Hero Arts Best Gift Ever Collection, which includes Press Plates, stencils and dies to create the presents. Rather than use the Betterpress, I used gold glimmer foil on all the bows & sentiments.
Here is a look at the back of my card, I added another sentiment and two more presents. Both sentiments used on this card are the negative image using the leftover foil after foiling the original.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a Gingerbread themed Christmas card using papers from Spellbinders / Stamperia Candy Christmas Collection. This was a nice quick card as it mainly uses papers or stickers from the collection.
I added the gingerbread house paper to the right side of my card. I then used a fishtail banner die to die cut the waffle paper on the left.
For the inside of the card, I added a gingerbread themed sentiment and also the gingerbread tree sticker.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a fun Christmas card using a tutorial from Sam Calcott. This is called a Floating Cube Tower Card and you can find her tutorial here.
I opted to just make the half version of the card, adding the 4 cubes to the left side of the card. The full version would have the cubes on both sides.
To decorate my card, I used Spellbinders Chimney Capers die set. I added the “Ho Ho Ho” sentiment to the moon area. I also added two strip sentiments to the bottom of the card using the Marry & Bright Sentiment Strip Betterpress set.
I added the “Merry Christmas” sentiment which is a foil plate from Waffle Flower, and also added another of the strip sentiments I used on the front.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I have a Christmas themed Shaker Card to share with you using products from Hero Arts Best Gift Ever Collection.
Using the stencil in this collection I stencilled 6 different panels in each of the colours used for the presents which you can see in the card above. I have lots of presents left over to make more cards using this collection.
Once I had the stencilled presents, I pulled out my glimmer machine and the Press Plate/Glimmer plate and gold foiled all the bows over the presents, this was pretty easy to line up.
I then used the coordinating die to die cut all the presents, which gave me a number of frames I could stack up to form my shaker well for my card.
I added the shaker elements to the shaker portion of the card and then added another frame to. which I had cover the back with acetate.
To finish the front of the card I used a sentiment from the coordinating Press Plate Sentiment set. I used the negative image for this particular card.
For the inside of the card, I added another sentiment from the Press Plate/Glimmer Sentiment set. I also added a Merry Cristhmas Betterpress image from Spellbinders under the sentiment. Both sentiments are also the negative image.
To finish off the inside, I added one of the extra presents I have in my stash for other cards.
