Christmas Card #14 | Clearly Besotted

Hi there! It's the first day of the 30 day coloring challenge and I decided to try to join it ;-)

With this Christmas card I started from scatch because only the cute deer is really colored.

I used the 'layered wreath' stamp set from Clearly Besotted to create that beautiful wreath and used silver sparkle embossing powder for the second layer. I also decorated it with nuvo glitter drops. 

The label and sentiment both are from the same sentiment and for all these elements I used Lawn Fawn dye inks. For the background I chose a settle pattern with 'festive' stencil from Tim Holtz and hickory smoke distress ink.

To add a little bit more interest I adhered blue glitter paper to a craft cardbase and adhered the front panel with foam tape to the base. The little deer is clued to the panel with foam dots as well. 

After all the cute scene I wanted to create something different so I left my comfort zone and voilà - this is the result ;-)

Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you soon!

Christmas Card #13 | MFT

Hi everyone! When I first tried out the screen ink together with the beautiful art screen 'wood' I had the idea of this card which I am showing you today.

I made a whole set with 6 cards in total because I will need them for family members. So I cut down pieces with 11 x 11 cm (4,3 x 4,3 inch) and used the art screen and screen ink like a stencil. After letting it completely try I put gold foil on top of it and ran it through my Minc machine. I also tried a background using minc paper from the 5th avenue collection.

Then I diecut frames out of gold glitter cardstock using the second largest die from the 'stitched square scalloped frames' from My Favorite Things. I also used the same die to cut the inside of the frame out of white cardstock.

Then I stamped the cute images from 'deer friends' (MFT) with lawn fawn ink pads. I also added the small sentiment from the 'mini messages' stamp set (Mama Elephant).

To add more interest I diecut white birch trees with the MFT die, adhered them next to the deer and ran the whole square piece again through my Big Shot using the same square die as before - so that I have the same edges for the trees as well.

After that I adhered everything to a craft cardbase!

So happy that the cards turned out exactly the way I wanted to :)

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Christmas Card #12 | Mama Elephant

Hi there! Aren't those sheep from Mama Elephant the cutest??! I tried to create a little story with my 12th Christmas card - a little sheep which was late with all the Christmas preparations and knitting Christmas stockings. So it is currently finishing the last stocking (apparently under stress) while the presents are ready and the other sheep is tensely waiting for the stocking to be finished :)

Thank you for stopping by and have a beautiful day!
