Christmas Cat

Posted on July 21, 2023 10:17 PM by Julie Comment

A cute little kitty Christmas card w/ Christmas tree cupcake & coffee. Perfect for the cat & coffee lover.

We are visiting Nature’s Jewelry & their Pinterest Board for this week’s Inspiration Challenge (IC920). I combined a couple of pieces as inspiration for my card. THIS cat & THIS tree.

After stamping, coloring & die cutting the images, I die cut a large tree print paper & smaller white panel. I added a very narrow red layer in-between the two for contrast. The greeting was stamped on a separate rectangle & layered onto a fancy red oval.

I added some stickles to the ornaments, whipped cream & a couple of stripes on the cat’s sweater for a little sparkle.

Here are the Copics I used:

Gold Glitter Trees

Posted on July 15, 2023 10:16 PM by Julie Comment

A very glittery, gold Christmas card featuring some die cut trees & greeting. Easy to make w/ lots of impact. Change the paper or colors & you’ll have a bunch of finished Christmas cards in no time.

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS858) so a big congrats to Vikki! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the gold trio element & horizontal layout, but I used trees instead of leaves, added a layer of designer paper & a die cut greeting instead of a stamped one.

For my glittery gold trees, I used a roll of glittery gold wrapping paper & attached to plain card stock before die cutting the trees & Merry out of it. There is one larger tree, but it was too tall to fit this direction so I used 1 medium & 2 small trees instead. I attached them to a piece of ivory card stock, then attached this to a larger piece of green print paper w/ a very narrow ivory frame behind it. I die cut of the shadows for the Merry greeting..one in ivory & one in dk green. The Merry is attached as normal on top of the ivory. The dk green shadow was offset a bit to add some contrast.

The center tree & greeting were popped up to add some dimension & interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Christmas Dogs

A mini slimline card featuring sweet little Christmas dogs & colorful paper. Change up the paper & colors to customize a stack of Christmas cards. The matching dies for the images make it quick & easy.

We are visiting the interesting Pinterest Board of Carole Jarvis for the Inspiration Challenge (IC919). I used THIS picture as the inspiration for my card.

I used a new set of adorable Christmas dogs & some new slimline paper for my card. After coloring & die cutting the cute pups, I used the stitched mini slimline dies to cut the layers of papers. I also wanted some of the reverse side of the striped paper so I used the corner of a square stitched die to cut the little triangle tabs & added a narrow red layer behind them. I also used the red for a circle layer behind the greeting.

The dogs & greeting circle were popped up just a bit.

Here are the Copics I used:
