Merry And Bright Sparkly Rainbow Snowflake Card | Studio Katia

Hello again!

Back again with another rainbow snowflake card. Can you tell I love rainbows and snowflakes 😆

This card features some of my favorites from Studio Katia. These Chunky Alphas are so fun especially when you want to create your own sentiments and these snowflakes stamps are soooo pretty! 

To make this card, I first blended out the background using the distress oxide linked below. I then spritzed the background with water and picked them up with a paper towel. Next, I die-cut the panel using the frame from the Darling Ribbons and Frames Die set. 

Once the ink was dry I used an anti-static tool to prep the surface for heat embossing. I then stamped the snowflakes onto the background and heat set the ink with white emb. pwd.

Next, I die cut all the letters to spell out the Merry & Bright using the Chunky Alphabet dies. To each letter, I added White Puff Emb. Powder, puffed with heat, and then added glue onto the buff and dipped the puffy part back into Sparkle Glitter for extra sparkly snow. It's so hard to share the sparkle in these photos but in real life, they are so pretty!

I then added foam tape to the back of the letters and popped them onto the card front.

To finish the card, I glued some Icy Sparkle Crystals and added the random Snowflake Glitter to the background.

I hope you love this Merry And Bright Sparkly Rainbow Snowflake Card as much as I do and got inspired by it! Christmas cards don't all have to be traditional IMO😏

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Merry Poinsettia Christmas Card | Hero Arts

Hello, my cardmaking friends! Today I am sharing this Merry Poinsettia Christmas Card created with the Merry Poinsettia Bunch Stamp and Dies from Hero Arts.

I have been wanting to experiment with watercolors on Black Watercolor cardstock for a while and thought these poinsettias were the perfect excuse. I used metallic watercolors as I thought they would pop off the black cardstock the best and add more shimmer and shine to the finished project.

To create this card, I stamped out the Poinsettia Bunches twice onto the Black Watercolor Paper using Versamark Ink. I then heat set the lines using Gold Emb. Pwd. Next, I colored in the images and then used the coordinating die to cut out both Poinsettia Bunches. To the back of the bunches, I added foam tape and popped them onto the front of an A2 Black Card Base, and trimmed off any pieces that hung over the edge.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed with the same Gold Emb. Pwd. and trimmed the banner to fit across the entire width of the card front. I then glued the banner to a layer of the gold Glitter Paper Holiday Sparkle paper that was then glued to the front of the card.

For some finishing touches, I added glossy accents to the flower centers and berries and added some gold pearls.

Now is the time to SHOP if you've been waiting... check out this amazing deal👇

I hope you enjoyed today's Merry Poinsettia Christmas Card.  I have a busy week ahead but hopefully, I will be back to share more projects with you later this week! Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Turtle Dove Holiday Clear Bag Shaker Card | Inkon3

Hello, my friends!

I am back today with another clear bag shaker card. I told you they are addictive! If you missed how these are assembled check out this blog post 👉HERE. This time my card features a few of the newly released stamp sets from Inkon3. This card is part of the Inkon3 New Release IG Hop happening now over on Instagram. Make sure you hop on over there for inspiration and a chance at winning a $25 GC to their Shop.

This darling image comes from a combination of the Holiday Wreath and the Love Birds Stamp Set.

• Stamp the images out using Fadeout Ink
• Add color to the berries using the coordinating stamp with Atelier Sweet Petunia Ink
• Do the same for the leaves using Atelier Goddess Green Ink Cube
• Re stamp the wreath now using Juicy Ink
• Heat set the image using Gold Rush Emb. Pwd
• Stamp the sentiment using Blackout Ink
• Fussy cut the wreath and the birds
• Color in the birds, I used Copic markers
• Add Liquid Pixie Dust to the birds for a layer of sparkle
• Use foam to pop up the birds onto the wreath
• Glue the finished wreath onto the front of the Clear Bag Shaker Panel
• To create the shaker card base, see version one of my clear bag shakers HERE 
• Finish by adding glossy accents to the berries

I added a piece of vellum to the clear sleeve along with an acetate sheet to add stability to the front panel. The vellum adds a softness to the card front and hides the inside of the card. 

The image below is what the shaker card looks like when opened up. If you prefer the softer look, you could use this side on the front of your card. I like seeing the shaker elements on the front. You could also skip the vellum and make the front completely see-through by only using the acetate in the sleeve. The wreath on the front is large enough to conceal a written message on the inside of the card.

Here is a peek at how this card came together.
