Hello… I am back again with Christmas card 😉 Yup… still working on some Christmas cards. Today, this card is simple and clean, with lots of snow crystal die-cuts, and kraft-red-white-black color combo.

I used the kraft cardstock for the card base. Using my Evolution Advanced die-cutting machine, I cut out the white snow crystals from the Our Daily Bread Designs – Snow Crystals Dies, then I embossed them before I removed them from the dies. This emboasing give each of them extra texture.

On a black cardstok panel, I drew a line with pencil where I wanted to put my ribbon and sentiment. And then I arranged them on that black cardstock, once they were all in the spot where I like, I used glue pen to add them on the black cardstck.

Then using Versamark ink pad, I stamped the sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs – Jingle Bell Time stamp set and then added the White embossing powder and heat set it with my Craft Heater. Final step is to add the red & white stripe ribbon and then I added the finished panel on the card base with 3D foam tape.

I love the possibility we can do with die-cuts. We can create a background, too, beside stamping 🙂

This card I created also for my DT inspiration for the November – HLS Anything Goes With Dies Challenge. I hope you all can play along and share your projects using any kind of die-cuts with us. By linking up you can win a $15 discount to Happy Little Stampers shop.

Thank You so much for visiting. Have a fabulous day!

Christmas is getting closer…. It is 49 days away from today! I am still catching up with Christmas cards this month 🙂

Today, I am sharing 2 cards using 1 die set, 1 stamp set and paper pack. I like to make multiple cards from the same stamp, die sets and papers while I have them out. They can be different style and design. Totally up to you too.

On these 2 cards today I am using the new November paper collection, stamp set and die set from Our Daily Bread Designs: Jingle Bell Time rubber stamp set, Snow Crystals Dies, Snowflake Season Collection Paper Pad.

On the first card above, I went with clean and simple design. diecuts the snow crystals from American Craft silver glitter cardstock with my WRMK Evolution Advanced. After I diecut them, I run it through again with embossing mat to give extra embossed detail on them. On a A2 white card base, I added a strip of the Snowflake Season papers. I picked the stripes one for this card. Then I added the snow crystals on the card. I stamped the sentiment from Jingle Bell Time stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black with my MISTI so I could do double stamping to get crisp and bold result.

On the second card today, I created the galaxy background with Mini Distress ink pads and some water. I love making watercolored and galaxy background lately 🙂 For this technique with water, I used Canson Watercolor paper as the card base. This is a one layer card. I die-cut the snow crystals from Darice 110 lbs white cardstock. I did the same step: die-cut and emboss to get the details on them. Once the background dried well, I added the snow crystals all on the card and then I heat-embossed the same stamp set on the card directly with Ranger Princess Gold embossing powder. Then I wrapped some of the natural twine from May Arts Ribbon.

With the same supplies, I can created couple cards instead of only one 🙂 What about you? Do you have tips to share about cardmaking and mass-produce cards?

Good morning… It is Thursday! We are already in the middle of the week… I hope your week has been great so far. This week we have another warmer Fall days which is very unusual for us in Ohio in November. But I am thankful for sunshine and pretty colorful leaves to enjoy around us 🙂

You notice that coloring book for adults is a big hit lately. We see that at almost every stores, even when you go to grocery stores, you will find them! Today, I wanna share with you an adorable Coffee Time – Art Play Paintables from ADORNit.

There are lots of ADORNit Art Play Paintables available at store for you to choose. And this 12×12 – ADORNit Art Play Paintable page is covered with those cute adorable coffee theme pictures that you can paint and color with any mediums. Couple of weeks ago, I colored three of these pictures with watercolor paints (blog post here).

Today, I turned them into these cards. I grabbed some of the ADORNit – Blender Basic Papers to create these monochromatic cards:

On the patterned papers I added some Vintage Photo Distress ink with sponger to give some extra shadow to them.

I also embellished them with some natural twine, gems and mini staplers. Not to much so the focal point is still the colored images and sentiment on the cards.

I hope these cards give you some inspirations to create cards out of your coloring pages instead of just leave them sitting around. Let’s share some joy and love with handmade cards with others!

If you would like to check out ADORNit products, you can visit their website or they are can be found on Amazon.

Today, I am sharing this blog post with Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Thursday Coffee Break.

THANK YOU for taking a break with me today and have a fabulous day!!
