Tim Holtz Cozy Winter

Hello! I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with Tim Holtz supplies. With the Cozy Winter bear, it was love at first sight!

Tim Holtz Cozy Winter

  • I added white embossing paste through the Tree Lot stencil on to SSS Sea Glass cardstock.
  • I die-cut the Cozy Winter bear from SU Kraft, white, light pink, red, and black cardstock and colored the arms and base with Vintage Photo ink. I glued the pieces together.
  • I heat-embossed the Simple Sayings sentiment on to red cardstock and cut it with a banner die.
  • I added the bear and sentiment to the Tree Lot background.

This card combines my favorite cardmaking techniques of stenciling, die-cutting, and heat-embossing, as well as, a favorite color combination of red, light blue, and white.


Penny Black Autumn – CAS Pumpkins

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS card created with two Penny Black stamp sets from the Autumn 2021 release.

Penny Black Autumn - CAS Pumpkins

  • I stamped the 30-862 Pumpkin and Polka Dots images in a variety of ink colors and fussy-cut them.
  • I stamped the 30-863 Autumn is Calling sentiment in brown ink on off-white cardstock, which I cut with a stitched rectangle die.
  • I added the sentiment panel to a dry-embossed, rust-colored cardstock base.
  • I added the pumpkins to the panel, popping up the front one with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders Christmas Traditions – Another Take on the Nativity

Hello! Today I am sharing another card created with supplies from the Spellbinders Christmas Traditions Collection. I posted about this collection and the Rejoice Nativity die set here.

To begin, I stenciled All the Stars with gold gel on navy cardstock.

I die-cut the Rejoice Nativity set with Snowdrift, Brushed Silver, Brushed Gold, vellum, and gold foil cardstock and assembled the pieces.

Once the background was dry, I added the pieces to the card. This card came together quickly!


Penny Black Autumn is Calling

Hello! Today I am sharing two CAS cards of the same design that use the same two Penny Black products from the Autumn 2021 release.

Penny Black Autumn is Calling

For both, I began by stamping the 40-788 Autumn Majesty image with white pigment ink.

Once the panels were dry, I stamped the same image again with dye inks slightly offset from the white pigment ink image. On one, I used a variety of Distress Ink colors for the acorns and leaves. On the other, I used one dye ink color (to coordinate with the cardstock color).
