It's Time For Mistletoe

It's my day over on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog today, and I am also sharing my card here too.

I used the Mistletoe & Holly stamp set with matching dies.  Yep, they are on sale, and my code will give you an additional 15% off!  [code at bottom of this post]..

I used my Zigs to water color the image, and Versafine Black ink for my sentiment.  An easy card for creating, and mailing.  Since the majority of my cards get mailed, this is a good thing 😀

Have you checked out the Clearance section?  My code will work on those too!  I hope you check it out.

FaLaLaLa

Hello everyone!! Nora here from A Creative Touch with a Christmas card using something old and something new. I am in FULL Christmas mode over here in my craft room. I have an admission, though. It takes a mountain for me to create holiday cards so when the mood strikes, I have to RUN with it!

Dies: Mistletoe Fri-Dies, Pinked Slimline Fri-Dies

Stamps: Mistletoe and Holly

I started this card by stamping the Mistletoe from the Mistletoe and Holly set with Copic friendly gray ink. I used a stamp positioner because I knew that I was going to emboss the image later. I then colored in the mistletoe with Copic markers.

Next I re-stamped the image with Wow! Slow Drying Embossing Ink and heat embossed it with Wow! Gold Embossing Powder. 

I covered the bow and the berries with a clear shimmer pen and Glossy Accents, and set it aside to dry.

For the panel behind the mistletoe, I stamped the sentiment multiple times, using the same stamp set, using a green ink on white cardstock. I then die cut the panel using the Pinked Slimline Fri-die. 

I mounted the sentiment panel over a red, top folding A2 card base that I had embossed lines on with a score board. I took the dried mistletoe and die cut the image using the Mistletoe Fri-dies. My last step was to use foam adhesive to adhere the mistletoe to the card front.

This card was a really easy card to create and would be simple to make in an assembly line fashion to create. Much to my sadness, the Mistletoe and Holly and the Mistletoe Fri-die are in the clearance section right now. You can use my code NORASENTME to get an extra 15% off your total purchase.

That is all from me today. I hope you have a FABULOUS day!!

The supplies I used are below and can be found in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Store.

 

A Merry Shaker Ornament

Lisa here!  I hope your holiday season is full of love and peace in the midst of all of the hustle and bustle!  I have a card for you today using one of my fave dies in the shop, Ornament Tag Fri-Dies!

I love this die set because you can make it a shaker or not!  Usually I do because it's so easy and I love shakers!  I just place the two circles together, the smaller inside the larger, on my paper and use some washi tape to hold them still and then run them through my Gemini.

I just add a piece of acetate on the inside of the frame I've created and then add foam tape around the entire frame.   The small circle became my background to my ornament because I wanted the whole ornament to be gold this time.  I added my gold sequin mix within the smaller circle and then placed the windowed frame over the top.  I've used this ornament to create a fall ornament... it's good for any season!  It also comes with cool ornament holder and hanger dies that are hard to see in this pic, but I just love them... the curly delicate hanger is so pretty!

I embellished my ornament with the Mistletoe image from the Mistletoe and Holly stamp set cut with the coordinating Fri-Dies (I love how detailed the dies cut and they come with some cute little word dies too!).  I stamped, colored and cut two and the second one was cut apart and added underneath the first.

And that's me for today!  So happy you stopped by to spend a little of your busy season with us!  Hope you'll come again soon!  Hope whatever holiday you celebrate that you get a chance to enjoy it!  See you next year!

Merry Christmas and Merry Kiss-Mas Cards

Hello my crafty friends.  Maria here with you and I am back with this "mostly" die-cuts Christmas card, showcasing the Jumping Jacks Fri-Dies, Lovely Links Fri-Dies, Merry Christmas Fri-Dies, Mistletoe Fri-Dies and the Mistletoe & Holly stamp set.  

I stamped and colored the mistletoe image and used the coordinating die to die-cut the image.  I die-cut another piece of metallic red bow to adhere to my mistletoe.  

I used the lovely links die to die-cut 8 pieces on white card stock and adhered these pieces on my card base.  I also die-cut the Merry Christmas sentiment using the metallic red card stock.  Here's my card:

To finish my design, I used the Jumping Jacks Fri-dies to die-cut three pieces on some white glittered card stock, and adhered them onto my card.  Here's a little close-up:

And here are more cards I made with the Mistletoe & Holly stamp set.

Merry Coffee-mas!!

Hi everybody!! December is suddenly upon us and there is a flurry of activity in my house. My son has just gone off on school camp and I've got my first sunburn of Summer as I try to keep up with all the weeds. I'm still making Christmas cards and trying to get them in the mail and haven't even started any shopping yet, so its all go, go, go!!

At the moment the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2018 is in full swing and as CAS-ual Fridays Stamps are considered a 'Super Sponsor', I thought I would mix a little coffee with my Christmas projects for you today:

These were so much fun to make and would be perfect to attach to a present for a coffee-loving friend!!

I used the Coffee Cup Fri-dies and To-Go Cup Fri-dies for the tag bases and combined the Snowy Sayings, Mistletoe and Holly and Peace Love and Coffee for the decorations. Pop over to my blog post HERE to find out how I put it all together!!

I also wanted to let you know that the Retiring Sets are now all 50% off while stocks last, so grab them while you can!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you back here again later this month with some more Christmas inspiration!!

Take care
Shona

Simple Christmas Cards using the Mistletoe and Holly Stamp set and Matching Fri-Dies

Happy Sunday everyone!! Nora here on the blog with a way to make some simple Christmas cards that are easy to mass produce.

Stamps: Mistletoe and Holly

Dies: Mistletoe Fri-Dies

I started off each card by stamping the mistletoe image in Mistletoe and Holly on a piece of white card stock measuring 4" by 5 1/4" so that it was off set on the bottom right and the top left of the panel. 

I then went in and stamped the mistletoe again in the areas I thought needed it.

Next I stamped the sentiments from the same set, using a different ink color on each card. I get bored mass producing cards so I change it up just a bit where I can to keep my attention.

I colored all the white panels in using Copic markers and then filled in the berries with either white or red Nuvo Crystal Drops.

When the berries dried, I added the panels onto three different colored A2, top folding card bases and decorated the cards a tiny bit differently on each. For the card above, I added a frame around the outer edge and then some  sequins around the sentiment.

For this card I used the matching Mistletoe Fri-Dies to die cut the red bow and popped it above the black sentiment.

On my blue card, I not only popped the bow up using foam adhesive added a bow but used some sparkle over it to give it some shine.

I hope you enjoyed these cards and they inspire you to create some of your own cards in bulk. If you would like to shop, use my code NORASENTME to get 15% off your total order.
