Christmas Cards!

Dec 182010

Lots of Christmas cards to share today. They’re making a stop here before being sent on their way!

This card uses the “Bells and Boughs” set from SU’s Holiday Mini. It is colored with Copics.

(At the end of my blog posts I usually list the “recipes” for the cards. But today, because of the number of cards posted, I will put the recipe for each card directly following that card. This will make it easier for those interested to find the ingredients used for each specific card.)

Poinsettia Card

Stamps: SU Bells & Boughs

Papers: SU Whisper White and Old Olive; Papertrey Ink Pure Poppy; Daisy D’s Paisley Sugarplum Designer Paper

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black; Copics:

Accessories: GG Ribbon, Brads, SU Corners and Scalloped Edger Punches and Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder

——————————

Love this birch tree image from Papertrey Ink.

On the first card, a small bird was punched from Memory Box’s “Mistletoe” designer paper and popped up on the trees.

On the second card one of the bird images from the set was stamped with Craft ink.

Brown Birch Tree Card

Stamps: Papertrey Ink Through the Trees; SU Teeny Tiny Wishes

Papers: Papertrey Ink Select White; SU Bravo Burgundy and Bashful Blue; Memory Box Mistletoe Designer Paper

Inks: SU Bravo Burgundy and Bashful Blue (for sponging)

Accessories: GG Ribbon; Kaiser Pearls; 3/4″ Round Punch

Black Birch Tree Card

Stamps: Papertrey Ink Through the Trees; SU Teeny Tiny Wishes

Papers: Papertrey Ink Select White, True Black and Pure Poppy; Memory Box Mistletoe Designer Paper

Inks: Archival Brilliance Graphite Black; SU Real Red Craft

Accessories: 1″ Double Stitched GG Ribbon; Kaiser Rhinestones

——————————

As time got short, several cards with the same design had to be made.

I’m not a big fan of mass production, but this was a very fun, quick and easy one to do.

Love how the twine gives a touch of country charm.

Punched Trees Cards

Stamps: Verve O Christmas Tree

Papers: Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream and Pinefeather; Webster’s Pages Wonderfall Designer Paper (stripe); K & Company Christmas Cheer Designer Paper

Inks: SU Handsome Hunter

Accessories: Kaiser Rhinestones; Cuttlebug Snowflake Embossing Folder; Martha Stewart Pines Border Punch; Classic Circle Nestability Die; Twine

——————————

I wasn’t going to post or use this next card until my son, seeing all the various cards spread across the dining table, said that this one was his favorite. Must have a masculine appeal to it that I don’t appreciate!

Crown Card

Stamps: Flourishes City of David

Papers: Papertrey Ink True Black, SU Gold and Silver Metallic; Graphic 45 On the Boardwalk Designer Paper

Inks: Versamark

Accessories: Silver Embossing Powder; GG Ribbon; Cuttlebug Crown Die Cut & Embossing Folder; Fiskar’s Edger Punch; Brads

——————————

This next design is one that I CASEd from a card kit that I saw on Ebay. Unfortunately the auction ended, and I did not remember to record the designer of this clean and simple beauty.

This is such a creative use of this large medallion stamp from SU. The center sentiment circle was cut out using a Circle Nestability Die and then popped up with foam tape.

Medallion Wreath Card

Stamps: SU Medallion; Verve O Christmas Tree

Papers: Papertrey Ink Select White and Pure Poppy

Inks: SU Handsome Hunter

Accessories: Classic Circle Nestability Die; Kaiser Rhinestones; Satin Ribbon

——————————

This silhouetted bird image from Inkadinkado is stamped directly on to the designer paper.

A few of the flowers in the design were filled in with a white gel pen. Stickles was added for some sparkle.

Silhouetted Bird Card

Stamps: Inkadinkado Winter Birds and Papertrey Ink Sign Language

Papers: Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream and Dark Chocolate; Basic Grey Designer Paper

Inks: Archival Jet Black; White Gel Pen

Accessories: Stickles; Satin Ribbon

——————————

The final pair of cards uses Tim Holtz’s “Reindeer Flight” die cut and his “Tall Pines” embossing folder.

On the first card the designer paper and the Essentials by Ellen Craft-a-Board were cut separately and then adhered together with foam tape.

On the second card however, the designer paper was adhered to the craft-a-board before cutting out the reindeer. Then both the paper and craft-a-board were cut at the same time. This method worked much better and is what I would recommend.

Reindeer Card #1

Stamps: SU Itty Bitty Backgrounds (stamped on reindeer cardstock)

Papers: Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream, Fine Linen, Ocean Tides and Dark Chocolate; Webster’s Pages Waiting for Santa

Inks: SU Chocolate Chip and Close to Cocoa

Accessories: Essentials by Ellen Craft-a-Board; Tim Holtz’s Reindeer Flight Die Cut and Tall Pines Embossing Folder; GG Ribbon; Velvet and Lace Ribbon; Ruffled Ribbon; Metallic Rope; Kaiser Pearl; SU Corners Punch

Reindeer Card #2

Stamps: Papertrey Ink Sign Language

Papers: Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream, Fine Linen, Ocean Tides and Dark Chocolate; Webster’s Pages Waiting for Santa

Inks: SU Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa and Handsome Hunter

Accessories: Essentials by Ellen Craft-a-Board; Tim Holtz’s Reindeer Flight Die Cut and Tall Pines Embossing Folder; GG Ribbons; Metallic Rope; Kaiser Pearl; SU Corners Punch

Thanks for dropping by today. Hope that everyone is having a wonderful Holiday Season.

"May" Christmas Cards

Jun 092008

Yes, I know, it’s June. I had fallen behind on the Splitcoaststampers Christmas Card Challenge to make 10 Christmas Cards each month. But with these I have caught up!

There is one thing though… the sentiment. It always seems to be the hardest part of making the card. I still haven’t decided where I like it best or if no sentiment at all is my favorite. What do you think?

The ornaments are colored with Sakura Glaze gel pens. They are also embossed using the Swiss Dots embossing folder for my Cuttlebug.

Stamps: DeNami Design, SU! Peaceful Wishes, Memory Box Sentiment
Papers: Certainly Celery, Handsome Hunter, Rose Red, Whisper White, DP Paper Pizazz “Holly on Green”
Inks: Handsome Hunter, Craft White, Marker Certainly Celery
Accessories: Sakura Pens: White Gel, Stardust, Glaze Red and Glaze Green, Striped GG Ribbon, Gold Cording, Snowflake Eyelets, Brads, Scalloped Punch, Corner Punch, Cuttlebug, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder

Dove of Hope

Oct 242022

It’s getting close to crunch time, so here’s a quick CAS design that can help you get the last of those Christmas cards made and ready for mailing.

The card base was masked to leave a long wide strip slightly off center. Sponging the exposed strip, I began at the top of the card and worked to the bottom. An ombre effect was created by sponging with more pressure at the top. As I worked down the strip there was less and less ink on the sponge. I also applied less pressure the lower I got.

The dove was die cut and popped up on foam tape. A tiny bit of glitter was added to the olive/berry.

Seaside Notions

Apr 032020

For several months out of the year, I live in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The symbol of PV is the seahorse. So when I saw this stamp set I knew I had to have it!

All of the images were stamped and colored with Copics. They have been cut and arranged into a fun beach scene.

So far PV has had very few cases of this virus that is traveling the world. The governor of Jalisco (the state in which Puerto Vallarta is located) decided 2 weeks ago to have the state go on lockdown.. long before any cases were reported in the entire state. Hoping now that that may have been a very wise (though at the time seemed drastic) decision. Praying for the world.

Challenges:

Splitcoaststampers F4A528 Challenge: Beach Fun

Sunshine and Rainbows

Mar 202019

Is it Spring yet?! Well according to the calendar it is. Here are a couple of happy cards that are hoping the calendar is right!

One card is for a young friend’s birthday which is coming up soon. The other one is for one of my granddaughters who likewise has a birthday soon. Sunshine and rainbows for everyone!

On card one’s design most of the front portion of the card has been cut away. Only the clouds remain.

The clouds are still big enough however to cover the sentiment inside.

Both cards have lots of die cutting and fun dimension. Here’s the second card.

This is a card that I put in my gallery over at Splitcoaststampers last month.

The clouds were made by using the cloud die, cutting the clouds and then using the negative portion of the cut as a stencil when sponging.

Hope everyone is enjoying the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere! (Hmmm… does that mean it is the first day of Fall in the Southern Hemisphere?)

Tri Square Designs

Dec 202014

Time is short, so I’m wrapping it up with the last few Christmas card designs for the year.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

Added some glitter to the snowflake centers for a little pop on this pretty designer paper.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

And here’s another card using the Tri Square die. So easy and fun to add some lovely patterns. It’s a great way to use up some scraps, too, if you’ve got some.

The holly was colored with Copics and then fussy cut.

A stamped sentiment inside gives a nice finishing touch.

Penguin Celebration

Sep 232014

I just love these silly party birds!!

They are playing along in three challenges:
CAS on Sunday Challenge #42 to “make a celebration card using sequins.”
Work It Wednesday August 2014 to “use stamping in our creations this month.”
The Male Room Challenge #19 to “use metal.”

A couple of different “styles” of sequins were used as well as a big metal snowflake. Copics were used to color the birds and to add a hat to the special bird of the day.
