Holiday Trio

2 Comments

Hi friends. Vera here. Today I am sharing a trio of holiday cards. I hope they inspires you to start working on your Christmas card stash. For my card, am featuring a few layering stencils. I used Berry Bits Layering Stencil, Winter Foliage Layering Stencil, Christmas Bows Layering Stencil and Pine Cones stamp set. Originally, I plan on doing 1 card. However, once I die cut all the pieces I realized that I can actually completed several cards. So, of course I went to town with it and made 3 cards.

To color the Berry Bits I used Matcha, Spring Salad and Dolled Up. For Winter Foliage I used Spring Salad and Bright Emerald. For Christmas Bows I used Dolled Up and finally for the Pine Cones I used Warm Hazelnut, Found Topaz and Spiced Chai. Of course, I’d encourage you to use any colors that you love. Experiment and if needed used unusual color combo.

Anyway, once I am done with the stenciling, I die cut them with the coordinating dies of each set. Put aside all the pieces. Using one of the circle from Circle Nested Dies, I die cut a circle on a piece of scrap paper and use this as a stencil to create the circle focal point of the card. Arrange the pieces around the circle. Adhere with glue and some with foam adhesive to create depth. Finish with some enamel drops.

I honestly very happy with the way these cards turned out. Clean and simple is my favorite type of cards. And, when I get to mix several sets in one card, that make me even happier.

Friends, I hope you enjoy today’s cards. With everything that’s going on in the world right now, my wish for you is that you find or see something good today that makes your heart smile. Till next time!

Tis The Season

Hello everyone! Hope you’re all doing well and having a great week so far! It’s TaeEun here today with a holiday shaker card to inspire you for some last minute cards for the season 🙂 .

I paired the Holiday Border cling stamp with a poinsettia arrangement I made using Poinsesttia Wishes , Berry Bits and Winter Foliage grouped layering stamp sets. 

I white heat embossed the Holiday Border cling stamp on a watercolor paper panel. I ink blended it in Soft Amethyst, Iris Blooms, Plum Wine, Caribbean Turquoise, Azurite and Deep Sapphire. I kept the center of the panel white making the border of the panel darker.  I cut the panel with the holiday border die and set it aside. 

The ink colors I used for the poinsettias and other holiday elements are below.

I stamped them and cut them using the coordinating dies. I arranged the poinsettia cluster and secured it with a sheet of Press’N Seal.

I made the shaker part with the front panel by adhering a clear acetate sheet on the back of it and adding foam tapes. As the shaker elements I used Midnight Frost Couture Mix. After the shaker was finished I added the poinsettia arrangement to the card. The sentiment is from Easy Expressions Holiday set. I gold heat embossed the scripty part and stamped the rest in Noir.

That’s it from me for today! Hope you like my holiday shaker card 🙂 and got some inspiration for your own holiday card stash!

Have a crafty day!

Hugs,
