Christmas Wreath

Posted on November 18, 2023 10:08 PM by Julie Comment

An easy to make Christmas Wreath card featuring a large stamped wreath which is colored in using a 4 part stencil. There is also a matching die to cut it out, making it a really quick project. You can make a stack of these in almost no time at all.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge, so a big congrats to Lisa! She has a marvelous gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout but used different images, dies & colors and made mine a Christmas card.

My large wreath was stamped & the colors were sponged in using a 4 pt stencil & some Color Fuse inks. There is a matching die for this, but I already had the 2 circles cut & decided to use them instead. I put the greeting on the smaller one & popped it up on top of the wreath & added some little red rhinestones.

I had the dk red strip but it was a little too long, so I cut it first w/ a mini slimline layer then used the pierced cover die on it before attaching my circles on top.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cheers Shaker

Posted on November 17, 2023 10:06 PM by Julie Comment

A fun, sparkly shaker card to celebrate the holidays, a birthday or New Year’s. Glitter was used for the shaker so it’s not bulky and shouldn’t take extra postage. Some step by step pics show you the process & it doesn’t require any special supplies.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC937) we are visiting Catch My Party & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture for my inspiration. The colors and the sparkle really caught my eye.

I first created the large background using a 2 part Bokeh stencil and some light green & teal inks. Some paler, larger circles were added using a white pigment ink. After making sure this was completely dry, I put one of the stencils back onto the background & sponged some silver ink here & there, in some of the smallest circles, then embossed this w/ silver ep. For the shaker element, I die cut the shapes into the turquoise rectangle, then did the same to 2 pieces of cardboard. A separate glass was die cut in grass green & inserted the outline into the opening. I used a piece of cellophane packaging (like those that clear stamps or embellishments come in) & attached this to the back of the turquoise piece before attaching the 2 piece of cardboard on top of it.

Below is the back. I’ve already filled the bottle area & attached a piece of white card stock over it to seal it.

This is how the front looks at this point.

I put some chunky glitter inside the opening of the glass, then attached another piece of white over it. The front side of the white cover was lightly sponged w/ the green & teal inks to give it a color. You can see that below.

Here is the right side, all finished.

The greeting was stamped, & the shaker element was attached to the Bokeh background. I glued some of the larger pieces of the glitter, here & there on the Bokeh bg for some additional sparkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Joy to the World

A Christmas card with a diagonal split front using a new set and coordinating stencil, making it easy and quick to add color to the images. A matching die is great if you want to add some dimension or layer it onto a different background.

A big congrats to Korimu, the newest Featured Stamper (FS874)! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the layout & divided front panel, but I used different images & dies, different colors & made mine a Christmas card.

For my joyful bells, I stamped the image then used the coordinating stencil & the Color Fuse inks to sponge in the colors. It has a matching die, but I didn’t use it here. I took 2 leaf dies from a floral frame set & used them to cut the edge on a diagonal. After placing my panel on top of a larger green one, I positioned all the cut out leaf branches in place. I did some minor surgery on a couple of them to keep them from covering part of my greeting.

I replaced the stamped Joy of the greeting w/ a die cut Joy to help bring some of the red into the corner & also help balance out the image, size wise, & not seem top heavy on the upper right.
