Tim Holtz Christmas Minis

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Christmas card that features the Tim Holtz Christmas Minis die set.

  • I stamped the Christmastime 3 sentiment in Tumbled Glass oxide ink on white cardstock. I trimmed the panel to 4 inches square and added it to a 4 1/4 inches SU Cherry Cobbler card base.
  • I die-cut the Christmas Minis from a variety of cardstock colors including SU Old Olive, SU Cherry Cobbler, SU Kraft, and SU Balmy Blue. I assembled the wreath, gingerbread boy, snowman, and package, added them to die-cut circles (die is in the Christmas Minis set), and popped them up with foam adhesive.

Penny Black Winter View

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed card created with Penny Black supplies. I previously shared a card with the 51-724 Viewpoint die set here.

  • I die-cut the set 51-724 Viewpoint from white and dark gray cardstock, taping the dark gray pieces to the back of the white window frame.
  • I stamped the 40-764 All Things Evergreen trees in Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness oxide inks on a white cardstock panel.
  • On the panel with the stamped trees, I applied Texture Paste through the Large Falling Snow Slimline stencil and added Rock Candy glitter. I set the glittered trees aside to dry.
  • I die-cut the 51-717 Border Collection border for a snowdrift and trimmed it to fit beneath the trees.
  • I heat-embossed the 30-257 Joy Filled sentiment in Red Geranium and cut it with a banner die.
  • Once the paste was dry, I assembled the card, adding it to a red cardstock base. I embellished with snowflakes cut with the 51-708 Dancing Snowflakes set from Sugar Coated cardstock.

Elizabeth Craft Designs Christmas Gnomes

Hello! I hope you are having a festive December thus far. Today, I am sharing a Christmas card featuring the Elizabeth Craft Designs Gnomes die set, which I just couldn’t resist.

  • I die-cut the Gnomes pieces including the packages from felt, cardstock, and glitter cardstock and assembled them. (The felt is from Taylored Expressions.) You can use the Farmer die set to cut the eyes.
  • I heat-embossed the Bitty Holiday Wishes (now retired) sentiment in Red Geranium and cut it with a banner die.
  • I added the Gnomes, with packages, and sentiment to now-retired Lawn Fawn patterned paper. Initially I had planned to die-cut a snowbank, however, this paper worked well with the bright felt colors.

Rubbernecker Santa in the Window

Hello!  Today, I am sharing a Christmas card combining several Rubbernecker die sets and one of their stencils. I previously used the Santa die on this card.

  • I heat-embossed the Simple Sayings sentiment on to dark red cardstock.
  • I stenciled the card base with the Repeating Bricks stencil in dark red ink.
  • I die-cut the pieces for the window, Santa, the presents, and the tree, and ornaments (with a circle die in the Fishing Boat die set) and assembled them. (I actually made this card twice. The first time, I had no tree and I showed the card to my eldest son who asked, “Where’s the tree?”)
  • I added Santa, the tree, and the presents to a light-blue cardstock panel.
  • I attached the window with foam adhesive and added the assembly to the card base.

Penny Black Hello Winter

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed card created with Penny Black supplies. Now is when I shift from making Christmas cards to winter-themed cards for the time of year between Christmas and Valentine’s Day. (I have noticed that every year this is a struggle; I enjoy making Christmas cards as I easily connect to the colors and themes.)
