Hello Bluebird Die-cut Holiday Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS holiday card created with the Hello Bluebird Holly and Pine Die set. I originally thought of putting together a card in which I artfully arranged the pieces, but instead, I arranged the pieces behind a gift box.

Using the Holly and Pine Die set, I cut the bow from red glitter paper, the greenery from solid green paper (included in a patterned paper pad), and the pinecones from solid brown cardstock. I created the wrapped paper box and the card background with patterned paper. I cut the Avery Elle sentiment (retired) with a Tim Holtz/Sizzix tag die and added it to the glitter bow with cross-stitch floss.

This card allowed me the opportunity to use up some of my enormous pile of patterned paper!

It’s Lovely Weather for a Sleigh Ride

Hello! Today, I am sharing another CAS holiday card using the Tim Holtz Mini Holidays 5 stamp set. As I mentioned in this post, I have had this set for years but hardly ever used it!

I wanted to recreate a sleigh ride on snowy hills (the inspiration being the song “Sleigh Ride”). To create the background, I stamped the greeting in Stampin’ Up Real Red multiple times with my stamp positioner . I heat-embossed the sleigh stamp with Ranger Black Sparkle embossing powder and cut the panel with an oval die. I cut a slightly larger oval with a stitched oval die from brushed silver cardstock to mat the image.

Once I had almost everything assembled, I realized I needed to add some snow! I die-cut a slope to fit just under the stamped sleigh and horses that I then cut with the oval die. I also added small die-cut snowflakes.

Lawn Fawn – Oh What Fun

Hello! Today, I am sharing a holiday card featuring Lawn Fawn Oh What Fun in a scene constructed with other Lawn Fawn goodies.

I had a lot of fun creating this holiday scene. I combined the Copic-colored bear Santa with a deer from Toboggan Together. The other supplies are listed below.

Tim Holtz Classic Christmas – Fast + Easy

I have been attempting to be more mindful on stamp purchases this season, and to that end, I have been going through supplies I already own before purchasing new ones. I pulled out the Tim Holtz Mini Holidays 5 set to create a CAS and traditional Christmas card that took just minutes to create.

Bonus – I used patterned paper from my enormous stash!

FA LA LA – Ten-Minute CAS Christmas Card

Hello! Today, I am back with another ten-minute CAS Christmas card. I recently shared a card with the same design here. This time, I created my background with the Echo Park Winter Pines stencil (discontinued) and changed the sentiment to “FA LA LA.”

To begin, I stenciled the background on to Stampin’ Up cardstock. While the background dried, (technically this card took longer than ten minutes since the background had to dry), I cut the sentiment with the Lawn Fawn Cole’s ABCs die set from red cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to a rectangle cut with a die in the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables set.

Best wishes for a terrific week. Mine is full of grocery shopping, cooking, and baking, given the Thanksgiving holiday!
