Spellbinders – A Charming Christmas

Hello and fa la la! Today, I am sharing my first Christmas cards of the season featuring die sets from Spellbinders A Charming Christmas Collection by Becca Feekan.

My first card showcases the Cinch and Go Poinsettia die set.

I cut the flowers from Stampin’ Up cardstock in Real Red and the leaves from Garden Green. The center circle piece was cut from Taylored Expressions Gold Foil. I secured the die-cut pieces with a gold brad.

I stamped a Stampin’ Up sentiment on Echo Park patterned paper which I cut with one of the dies in the Vintage Stitched Squares set. I added sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and Kelly Purkey.

My next card features the Charming Christmas Boughs die set.

I cut the swirling wreath from Neenah white cardstock. I also gold heat-embossed the sentiment from the Technique Tuesday Twinkle On set (retired) on to white cardstock; I cut that cardstock with the swirling wreath die and placed it into the wreath.

I cut the ornaments from American Crafts glitter paper in red and silver and Taylored Expressions Gold Foil. I added bows made from May Arts gold metallic twine. The background paper is Lawn Fawn Let’s Bokeh in the Snow (retired) patterned paper.

Penny Black Watercolored Wintertime Cheer

Hello! Happy Boxing Day. Today, I am sharing a watercolored card featuring Penny Black supplies. I had some time recently to watercolor and my husband chose this image from the Wintertime Cheer set. My husband has a tractor and really liked this cute image.

I heat-embossed the Wintertime Cheer image on Canson Montval paper and watercolored it with the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. I used Tumbled Glass ink for the sky and Hickory Smoke for the ground using one of the brushes in the Claritystamp set. I stamped the sentiment with an image in the Joy Filled set. I adhered the panel to a red card base.

I am entering this into the Penny Black Saturday Challenge December – Winter or Christmas.

Supplies:

Hero Arts – CAS Winter Trees

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card created with an older Hero Arts rubber stamp – Winter Trees. I bought the stamp five years ago and had only used it once.

Hero Arts Winter TreesI stamped the Hero Arts Winter Trees image with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink on my MISTI. (I think it would be fun to stamp in a number of different Distress Oxide ink colors.) I heat-embossed the Hero Arts Christmas Messages sentiment (my most used this season) with silver embossing powder.

 

 

Lawn Fawn – Die-Cut Christmas Village Scene

Hello. Today, I am sharing a CAS holiday scene created with Lawn Fawn supplies. I had in mind a town in the American Southwest (think Taos or Santa Fe) while making my card, hence the mountain background.

All of the colored cardstock is from Memory Box. I used the last of my red for the Village Border. I cut the Stitched Hillside Backdrop Landscape  before stamping it with one of the sentiments in Merry Messages on the MISTI. I added a snowbank on the left-hand side to cover up the section of the Village Border, which would have been exposed.

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #269 {Color Challenge}

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card created for Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #269 – a color challenge.

I created the background from Stampin Up Gumball Green (retired) cardstock, stamped with the Hero Arts Candy Stripe Bold Prints stamp in VersaMark ink. I used a Lil’ Inker square die set to cut it. I stamped the Hero Arts Winter Wishes sentiment on white cardstock, which I cut with one of the My Favorite Things Snow Drifts dies and a circle die.

I stamped Stampin’ Up Melon Mambo cardstock with a now retired Hero Arts background stamp (whose name I have searched for and been unable to find) in Taylored Expressions Sugar Cube ink, and cut it with the mitten dies from the My Favorite Things Warm & Fuzzy set. The background circle was cut from SU Soft Sky. To finish the scene, I added one of the Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes.

I like color challenges a lot. I would have never combined these colors otherwise.
