Joyful Christmas!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

Today I am showcasing a classic combo of white and gold Christmas vibes cards!

I cut the ornaments using leftovers of gold mirror CS. On my white card base, I added beautiful scalloped curved borders attaching with circled gold foiled PP at the top of the card. Die-cut some pine boughs in the snippets of gold mirror CS. Added them before adhering to the border. Added a gold string to the topper of the ornaments. Placed under the scalloped border before adhering using foam adhesive.

Added the sentiment in gold platinum EP. I leave my baubles free for swinging fun. Isn't the ornaments looking so cute!

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

Holly Jolly set is so super cute and fun to color and just so perfect for making festive Christmas cards!

I started by blending some DI on a white panel as shown in the below pic.

Then I stamped the hanging stockings on a scrap of a white sheet, watercolored it and fussy cut it.  Then I added some embossing paste dots through the back tip of the water brush as snowflakes. And heat embossed the, see the magic in the below pic.

This is seriously the easiest, most fabulous way to add snowfall to your cards!

Now, I stamped the deer image on a scrap white piece and watercolored it using my ZIG brushes.

Added some details as some snow using my white gel pen.

Now added that blended panel to my card base, and added a landscape panel, freely and cut it. As you saw some snowfalls here and there with a sentiment in blue.

Now adhered that deer and hanging stockings with dimension.

Hope you enjoyed the process!

Happy crafting!

Holiday season

Hello to all!

Happy December!

I am inspired by a very talented Designer Jodi Collins and CASEing her card. And it was the layout of the card that really appealed to me!

Here is my interpretation of this. Instead, of stamped flowers, I used a Nutcracker with Christmas trees. And I have opted for the traditional colors for my Christmas Holiday card.

I really enjoyed coloring this cute guy, perfect for coloring with so much space.

The winter Christmas tree are from white sheet and I watercolored them using ZIG.

On a red strip, I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it.

I have kept the design simple and added striped pattern paper to both sides of the centre panel.

I adhered to the focal panel with falling snow PP in a pastel brown color. Then placed my Nutcracker image with decorative trees.

I dazzled it with some rhinestones. Hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks for joining me today!

Happy crafting!

Joy to the world

 Hello everyone!

Happy Thursday!

For this card, I make a cute shaker with a fun deer with Christmas lights around him.

I started with that cute deer image and watercolored only light parts, ears and stags. Fussy cut it.

I die cut holly foliage and watercolored it.

Die-cut a window blind panel out of a white sheet and once from a pastel green glitter sheet. Inserted all the green stripes by taking white die strips.

Here is the pic:

Then I created a shaker panel, stamped the sentiment inside in green, added some fun shaker stars.

Added some glossy accents to the berries and lights for more interest.

I truly enjoyed making it with so much fun!
