One Background Three Slimline Holiday Cards | Studio Katia

Hello, my friends! Have you started on your Holiday Cards yet? Today I'm sharing 3 Holiday cards made from one background. My examples include a Hanukkah card, and Winter Card, and a Christmas Card, just to make sure I have all my friends covered this festive season.

CARD DETAILS

All of these cards began with creating a simple snowflake patterned background using the SNOWFLAKES stamp set with a gold emb. pwd. onto an 8.5 x11 piece of dark blue cardstock. I then sliced the paper into 3 equal parts and then die cut each panel using the large frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2. 

On this first card, I die cut all the letters using the CHUNKY ALPHABET to spell out Christmas. I then used the same gold embossing powder to add some thickness to the letters. Next, I die cut a piece of vellum using the scalloped slimline frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2 to soften the background and to add my sentiments too. I then stamped the Merry from the POINSETTIA BORDER set and heat embossed it as well.

As a finishing touch, I added a few GOLD FOIL PEARLS, and this first card is done!

For this next winter slimline, I die cut the center of the panel using a frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2 to create a window for the shaker card. To the back of the panel, I added a piece of acetate and then created a border using BLACK FOAM TAPE and then filled the area using CRYSTAL STARS and SPARKLING SEA CONFETTI MIX. 

On a piece of white cardstock, cut slightly smaller than the front panel I stamped the sentiments celebrate winter using stamps from the POINSETTIA BORDER set. I then closed the shaker window using the stamped sentiment panel and then glued that finished piece to the card base. Once again I used the GOLD FOIL PEARLS as a finishing detail.

For my final Hanukkah Card, I die cut the oval frame from the snowflake panel using the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 1 and glued the oval to the card base. I then stamped out the sentiments using stamps from the HAPPY CELEBRATIONS set and centered it over the oval that I had glued onto on the card base. I then glued the snowflake slimline panel in place to finish the card. 

As a final touch, I added a few GOLD SPARKLE CRYSTALS.

I hope you were inspired by this snowflake slimline Holiday Set of Cards. There are so many possibilities you can take this idea using different stamps and different colors. If you aren't into the Slimline Cards you could use the same idea to create 4 backgrounds for A2 sized cards.

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

Winter Wonderland - A 3D Lit Winter Wall Decoration | SVGCuts

Did you have your first snowfall yet? Here in Edmonton we've had it for about a month now! Last week it came down pretty hard. Even though we all complain about the cold weather, Winter is actually quite beautiful! It was also the inspiration for my latest project... A 3D Lit Winter Wall Decoration. 

Isn't it "Cool"?!?

In order to make it a Wall Decoration, I added a hole to the backside from which to hang it from. Also on the bottom of the back panel, I created a cut out that folds open to allow you to insert some battery operated tea lights. This frame looks just as good as a tabletop decoration if you chose not to hang it. 

This is what it looks like with a soft glow during the day. 

Here is the list of files you will need to recreate this project:

Letter O (altered, and used to make the frame) - SVG Cuts - 3D Letters SVG Kit

Snowflakes - SVGCuts 

Christmas in the Village SVG Collection

Christmas Open House SVG Kit

Clara's Christmas Eve SVG Kit

Winter Wonderland - SVG Cuts - Free Designs

To create the Frame - I enlarged the letter O from the 3D Letters and altered the front and back pieces of it. (see the second image)

For the Front - I selected random snowflakes and if they didn't have an offset to them I created one. I then centered the "Winter Wonderland" within the center of the "O". Next, I placed snowflakes all around the empty spaces. Once I was happy with their placement, I welded only the offset of my snowflakes with the outside "O" frame. I then cut out all the pieces and decorated each of them with glitter and rhinestones. Each snowflake was glued onto its offset. For embellishments, I added a ribbon and sequin trim to finish it up. 

This frame measures 11.25" W x 10.5" H

All cut on the Silhouette Cameo

 TIP: Go easy on the glue when adding glitter to your snowflakes. Paper tends to curl when wet. To avoid the curl, you can also use the Xyron sticker maker to add a layer of tackiness, then glitter!

And now in complete darkness! COOL right?

I love to make things light up :)

I hope you enjoyed my Winter Wonderland Wall Decoration!

If you like this idea but want to make it more personal,  it's easy to change the Word Art in the center. It could say, "Merry Christmas" "Happy Holidays" in English or a different language. Make it personal, with your Family's Last name or as a gift for someone else... the possibilities are endless!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting  :)
