Merry Santa

Posted on December 2, 2023 10:21 PM by Julie Comment

A fun, die cut, glittery Santa card using die cuts & a heat embossed (partial) greeting. Easy & fun to make since no coloring & only a bit of embossing.

A big congrats to Karen, the newest Featured Stamper. She had a fabulous, scrappy gallery & I chose THIS page for my inspiration. I kept the Santa hat image & die cut greeting, but used different dies, glittery paper & made mine a Christmas card.

My Santa card is really easy. Everything was die cut out of either white or red glitter card. The small stamped greeting under the Merry die cut was heat embossed using some white, sparkly powder. It was all attached to a black background & I popped up the die cuts a bit for some dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Green Glitter Christmas Tree

Posted on December 1, 2023 10:12 PM by Julie Comment

An easy to make, glittery Christmas card that will surely catch the recipient’s eye! So sparkly w/ 3 shades of green glitter card stock, a gold embossed greeting & a negative tree die cut overlay.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC939) & we are visiting Crafting My Home where I found THIS display for my inspiration. For my very glittery card, I die cut two Kraft panels..1 large & 1 smaller. The smaller one was used to die cut a large pine tree & I used the negative portion only, On the larger background, I cut 3 strips in 3 shades of green glitter card stock & attached them across the front. I also cut a couple of extra smaller panels & also cut the tree out of them. Then I stacked them behind the top panel to give it some depth.

The greeting was gold embossed on the large panel & I added a small gold star on top of the tree. Pretty easy!

Christmas Bicycle Postcard

Posted on November 25, 2023 9:46 PM by Julie Comment

A Christmas card reminiscent of vintage postcards, using understated grey & white w/ splash of red, here & there. Easy to make & easy to mail since it’s one layer.

A big congrats to DonnaJeanne, the newest Featured Stamper (FS877)! She has a marvelous gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the muted grey & white w/ a splash of red colors & the 2 wheeler, but I used different images & dies, a bicycle instead of a motorcycle & made mine a Christmas card.

After stamping & die cutting the bicycle, poinsettia, holly & bow, I stamped the snowflakes & postcard border using light grey ink. The paper came w/ this distressed look & I thought it worked well for my vintage postcard look. I also inked the edges just a bit w/ the same grey ink. For the greeting & other postcard writing, I stamped it first w/ black ink then over stamped w/ red to give it the burgundy color. I added a die cut little cardinal on the bicycle seat. I added another die cut bicycle under the original to give it a little dimension & sturdiness.

Here are the Copics I used:
