Christmas Magic

Today I am sharing another set from our Christmas release. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a piece of patterned paper from the Christmas release as well. 

I stamped the sled, colored it using OLO markers and cut it out with he coordinating die.  I added the pattern paper to the base  and placed a strip of red cardstock at the top. I added some foam tape to the sled and placed it near the top. 

To finish the card, I added a greeting embossed on a red strip of cardstock.

Gnome for Christmas

I am up on the Sweet 'n Sassy blog today with these two Christmas cards featuring one of our newest sets, Christmas Gnomes.

To create these cards I started with top folding white card bases, some patterned paper from my stash by My Minds Eye, a black panel and a couple white panels. 

I stamped the images on the white panels and then colored them with Copic markers. I used a couple rectangle dies to cut them out and adhered them to the patterned paper.

Picket Fence Meets Concord & 9th

Happy Saturday!

We are only 3 days out from Christmas, do you have all your shopping done? I finally finished up making my holiday cards and they are all in the mail even though some of them may arrive after Christmas but that's okay better late than never right?

This is one of the cards I made for my family. I love this set by Picket Fence Stamps and the matching die! To create this card I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel cut down with a stitched die. 

I stamped the string of lights using Versamark ink and then embossed it with Perrisa powder by Wow. I love the look you get from this powder it has a touch of Copper, Gold and Silver. Below is a close up picture so you can see how gorgeous it is

The greeting I used is by Concord & 9th.

It's almost Christmastime in the valley....4 more days and I am busy working on some gift tags. We do Christmas with my Sister and her family so there are lots of gifts to be tagged. To make these tags I used an older mitten die by Impression Obsession that I have had for years but it's a favorite because my tree is snowman/snow themed. I also used this amazing background stamp by Ink Blot shop that is so realistic of a knitted cable sweater. This year I bought the snowflake die by Concord & 9th to help out with gifts under the snow themed tree.

Day 25 Joy to the World

Well today is the last day of my holiday series 25 Days of Christmas Inspiration and I wanted to end it with joy, so I decided to use an older set but still one of my favorites by Concord & 9th.  I will still be sharing some Christmas cards up until Christmas and even after as I am on a Christmas card making challenge blog DT. 

To create this card I started with a top folding Night of Navy card base and a white panel cut down a quarter of an inch smaller. To create the snowy background on the panel I used the Snowflakes Turnabout. I love their turnabout stamps They were created for the MISTI and they make creating a background super easy. I stamped on all four turns with one being embossed in white powder. 

For the focal point I used another set also by Concord & 9th, Joy it's an older set  but still one of my favorites and I use it regularly in my Christmas card making. 

I stamped the greeting in versamark ink on a strip of Night of Navy and embossed it in white powder and then used the "joy" diet for the focal point. 

I hope you have enjoyed my holiday series and continue to follow me here and on Instagram(@cealp) for more inspiration. I am also planning a 14 days of Valentines Inspiration in January so stay tuned.

I created a background on the panel using the Nordic Snowflake stencil by Taylored Expressions along with the Life Changing Blender Brushes and my favorite go to glittery stuff, Nuvo glitter paste.
