Hello everyone… I hope you all had a fabulous and joyful Thanksgiving Day with your loved ones yesterday. We had a great time with my family here in USA, though I always miss my family back in Indonesia, too. So… Thanksgiving has passed and now… Christmas is 1 month from today!

I still have more Christmas cards to share with you all 🙂 Today, I am sharing 2 cards I made with Our Daily Bread Designs November New Release stamps, custom dies, and paper collections.

My first card is clean and simple. I simply cut the stripe patterned paper from ODBD – Snowflake Season Collection 6×6 paper pad into 3.25″ x 5.5″ and added it in the middle of the A2 White card base.

For the sentiment, I cut a rectangle black cardstock (2.75″ x 1.25″). On the black label, I stamped the sentiment from ODBD – Jingle Bell Time stamp set and then I added some of the Super Fine White Embossing Powder. I heat it up with my Craft Heater. Adter that, I added the sentiment label on the card with adhesive runner.

I embellished the card with some snowflakes that I die cut some of the snowflakes from White heavy cardstock with ODBD Custom Die – Snow Crystals. I added light blue watercolor paint on one of it. When the colored snowflake dried well, I added them on the card with Liquid Glass glue. Then I added some Silver sequins with Liquid Glass glue.

My second card is no-bulky shaker card. Basically, the shaker window is not bulky because I do not use any 3D foam tape. I saw a tutorial on YouTube. Jennifer showed how to make this card so easy 🙂

I die cut A2 White card base with ODBD Custom Die – Rectangles to create a window on the card base. And then I die cut the holly leaves patterned paper from ODBD – Holly Jolly Collection 6×6 paper pad to create the front panel window with ODBD Custom Die – Double Stiched Rectangles. I added the patterned paper on top of the card base with adhesive runner. The window on the card base is smaller so it show a white trim, I colored the white trim edges with Moss Green – Spectrum Aqua Marker fine tip.

On a piece of acetate paper, I stamped the sentiment from ODBD Merry & Bright clear stamp set with StazOn black ink pad. I set it aside to dry while I was working on the Christmas Light strings. Stamping on non-porous surface like acetate, StazOn is the best ink to use.

On White heavy weight cardstock, I stamped the Christmas light strings with Versamark ink pad with MISTI stamping tool, added some Ranger Gold embossing powder, and heat it up with my Craft Heater. I did it twice to get the thick embossed image. It is easy to do double-stamping with MISTI tool 🙂 After I did the embossing, I colored them with Specteum Noir Blendable pencil colors. I picked the red and green that match with the patterned paper colors. Then I die cut the string lights with the matching ODBD Custom Die – Christmas Light.

I added the stamped acetate on the card to cover the window from inside of the card with Liquid Glass Glue. Then I added some color mixed sequins on it, not too much, or it will be too tight. I cut out a piece of white cardstock that slightly bigger than the shaker window, and then I added it on card to cover the window. I used 0.5″ Scor-pal tape for this. And the shaker card is done 🙂

Hello everyone! Thanksgiving is TOMORROW! Can’t you believe that? And that means that Christmas is only a month away… I am still working on Christmas cards and gifts, so today I would love to four cards I made with 1 design.

On today’s cards I used stamps from Joy Clair: Christmas Border clear stamp set and Holly Jolly Santa clear stamp set, together with Distress Inks, Versamark ink pad, Ranger Gold embossing powder, Clear Embossing Powder, ODBD – Ornate Ovals Dies, ODBD – Layered Lacey Ovals Dies, Perfect Pearl mix spray, Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers, and some plaid ribbons.

First, I started with creating the backgrounds. On Canson watercolor paper, I stamped and heat-embossed the images from Christmas Border clear stamp set.

And then, I sponges the Distress Inks on each background with make up sponges. Below you can see the color combo of each background. The clear heat-embossed background resisted the Distress Inks. After that, I splatters some water and dabbed it with paper towel for some extra texture on the backgrounds.

Next step is to put the card together. For mass produce cards, I love just to pick 1 design. For these cards, I die cut the labels using ODBD ovals dies and heat-embossed the sentiment from Holly Jolly Santa clear stamp set with Ranger Gold embossing powder.

Then I added the ribbon around the tag, and wrapped it around each background panel, tied up a bow on each. I secure the ribbon with a mini thin glue dot under each bow. But you can use any liquid glue that dries clear and safe to use with ribbons. I also decided to added extra glue dots under each label to make sure it stayed on the card.

I added the backgrounds on the A2 card bases with adhesive runner. I used a lot adhesive because to make sure they stay on the card. Here are the picture of each of them:

I colored the holly leaves and berries with Spectrum Aqua markers. And then I wanted to add extra shiny on the card but did not want to use gems since I already have those bows, so won’t be too bulky to send. So, I sprayed the Perfect Pearl mixture on each of them. Oh… they are shiny and pearly now! Check out the video below:

I know it is a long one today… 😀 I hope you find some inspirations today to keep creating handmade Christmas cards to share the joy of the season this month! THANK YOU for visiting me and have a fabulous day!

Hello everyone, today.. I am sharing another Christmas card, yup… still working with this holiday cards 😀

On today’s card, I am using the new November release stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread Designs: Snowflake Sky Die, Jesus Loves You stamp/die duos, and Snowflake Season Collection 6×6 paper pad.

For the background, I used a silver glitter paper that I die cut it with the snowflake sky background die, and then I added on a red A2 card base with Liquid Glass glue from Close To My Heart.

For the sentiment, I die-cut one of the patterned paper from the Snowflake Season paper collection with the word die – Jesus, and heat-embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set with Ranger Superfine White embossing powder on a black cardstock. I cut out the banner tail with micro-tip scissors. Then I added the sentiment banner first on the card with 3D foam adhesive and then the word die – Jesus with Liquid Glue on to of the banner.

My card is finish. Since I still have some more cards to make, for this one I go with clean and simple design. I hope you find this inspiring you to create handemade Christmas cards to spread the joy of the season 🙂 THANKS a bunch for visiting me today!

Hello everyone! Thanksgiving is less than a week from today and I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving preparation week so far. We will be so easy to get caught into the craziness and busyness of preparation, but by remembering the goodness He has done in our life, we give thanks to the LORD, from whom all the blessing we have received all year long. And let’s our hearts be filled with thanks and giving for the next year to come.

And… After the Thanksgiving day, we are preparing for the next merriest Holiday, Christmas! The beginning of Christmas is knowing who is the center of this Celebration. For us, Jesus is the center of this celebration. And it does not stop there… Jesus is the center of our lives for He is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6)

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs November Release, here is the card/project I created using ODBD – Jesus Loves You Stamp/Die Duos set, ODBD Custom Die – Snowflake Sky, ODBD Snowflake Season Collection – 6×6 paper pad, and ODBD Custom Die – Stitched Ovals.

For the sentiment label, I die cut a white cardstock with one of the ODBD Custom Die – Stitched Ovals and then embossed it with the same die. Then I stamped the sentiment from the ODBD – Jesus Loves You Stamp/Die Duos set on the oval die cut with Red mini ink pad. I die cut one of the patterned paper from ODBD Snowflake Season Collection – 6×6 paper pad with the Jesus die cut that comes from the ODBD – Jesus Loves You Stamp/Die Duos set. Also, before I remove the die cut of the die, I run it through again my machine to embossed it. Love the extra texture on it after the embossing. Then I added the die cut Jesus on the label base with Liquid Glass glue.

For the background paper, I used the ODBD Snowflake Season Collection – 6×6 paper pad. I cut it into 4.25″ x 5.5″ and added it on the A2 card base. And then I die cut a piece of silver foil paper (DCWV) with the ODBD Custom Die – Snowflake Sky, and then embossed it with the same die for extra texture on them. I added the die cut background on the card base with Liquid Glass glue (CTMH).

After creating the background, I added the label I made on the card with 3D foam tape. I decided not to add any embellishments because I want the Jesus and the Bible verse be the center of the card. And I think the snowflake patterned paper and foil snowflake sky die cut give the extra bling on it already 🙂
