Tree-Mendous Christmas


Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing the last of the Postal Collage Christmas cards, I have shared recently. Again this card uses products from Waffle Flower Crafts and Spellbinders. This is another 5 x 7 card, which I prefer over A2 sized cards.

The Postage Collage stencil used here is called Vertical Tree and is another from Waffle Flower Crafts. After stencilling the tree, I splattered over the whole image using white paint for a snowy look.

For the background I used Spellbinders Starry Snowfall 3D Embossing Folder, apply white pigment ink to the raised areas after embossing.

To finish off the front of the card I added an older sentiment from Made To Surprise.



For the inside of my card I added a panel of embossed card to the bottom of the card.

I also added a Christmas sentiment and postage cancellation images which are all from Made to Surprise.




 
   

Penguinning To Look Like Christmas



Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a fun Christmas card I created recently. This card is a Swing Box Card which is 5 x 7 in size. I used a tutorial by Sam Calcott, which you can find here.



To decorate my card, I used Spellbinders Festive Friends die set which was the Small Die of the month for October 2024. I had spent about a week looking for this die set in my stash, so when I finally located it I decided I had to use it again LOL!

For the bears jumper, I used Spellbinders Sweater Weather Embossing Folder, adding white ink over the top once I had embossed it.

For the snowy background, I used Spellbinders Snowfall Shimmer Betterpress Plate, using my die cutting machine to emboss it rather than Betterpress it.

I used an older Mama Elephant sentiment for the sentiment on this card.


Here is a look at the back of my card. I added two foiled sentiments using the Merry & Bright Sentiment Strips Betterpress Plate and added another of the cute penguins.

For my card, I used the new Playful Pop-up die set along with the Dog and Cat Playful Add-ons die set. I just love that adorable puppy! 

This die set can be used on a standard A2 card, but I prefer bigger sizes, so I created a 5 x 7 card.


To decorate my card I added used the new Woof! die set and Dog Borders to add the dog bowls complete with food and bones.


As the focus of this card is on the inside, I kept the front of my card fairly simple. I added the two patterned papers I used on the inside to the front of the card. I then added the bone border along the edge that the two papers meet.

I used the new Dog Sentiments and the Greetings Labels die set to add the birthday sentiment. To finish off the card, I added the two paw prints which are from the Woof! die set.

Arched Lights

 


Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog. Today I have 4 more Christmas cards to share with you. As you can see, these ones are Arch shaped.




I used Spellbinders October Betterpress Society Plate to create this card which is called Twinkling Tidings. It includes the Betterpress Plate and a coordinating stencil. 




I added foiled sentiments to the cards using the positive and negative images. These are older Pinkfresh Studio plates..


I kept the inside simple, adding a sentiment using red ink.



 




   

Pine Cone Christmas

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Christmas card I created using a couple of the new dies by Karen Burniston, these will be available for preorder on Monday 24th November.


I don't normally use Kraft card much in my cardmaking, but I decided I wanted to use it for my card today. For this card I used the new Pine Cone die set as well as the Greeting Labels die set. 

For the other layers on the front of the card, I used the Rectangles & Labels Crosshatch die set. 

The sentiment is from the Season of Cheer Clear Stamp set.


For the inside of my card, I pulled out the Katherine Label Pop up die set and the Christmas Wishes Clear Stamp set.
