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.

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2018 – Day 17 Avery Elle

Hello! Today I am sharing two Christmas tags as part of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags event from Day 17 featuring Avery Elle. I was inspired by Tracey’s tag using the Avery Elle Polar Peek-A-Boo set.

I stamped and Copic-colored the moose and deer from Polar Peek-A-Boo and cut the pieces with their coordinating dies. I added Nuvo Morning Dew (dries clear) to the lights on the moose and the nose of the deer.

When the pieces were dry, I added the moose and the deer to tags cut from Stampin’ Up cardstock with the largest die in the Gift Tags set, on which I had heat-embossed the sentiment. I added snowflakes, cut with the now-discontinued Avery Elle Snow Caps die set, and twine.

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!

Tim Holtz – CAS Christmas Ornament

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with items from the Tim Holtz Stamptember Stamps and Stencils set. I fell in love with this sentiment the moment I saw it!

To create the ornament, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment on vellum, which I had backed with double-sided adhesive. I cut the heat-embossed vellum with a circle die and added the ornament top and string, which had been cut from silver foil.

I used the tree stencil from the Tim Holtz set to create the background. I added some Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes to complete the scene.
