2021 Holiday Card Series #14

 

Hey friends, welcome to Day 14 of my 2021 Holiday Card Series! Today's card features the adorable Sweet Christmas by Hello Bluebird stamp set. Aren't these gingerbread people just so darling? I colored all the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies. Then I blended some Distress Oxides onto Bristol Smooth Surface Cardstock for my backgrounds. I used Cracked Pistachio for the snow globe background, then stamped on the peppermint candies as snowflakes. For the card base panel, I also added in some splatters of Lucky Clover and the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.

Then I took the Hello Bluebird Snow Globe Builder and trimmed out two white snow drifts, a frame in Lawn Fawn Guava Cardstock and a base in Lawn Fawn Light Brown Woodgrain Cardstock. Then I stamped a sentiment from Merry Little Christmas in Walnut Ink. I adhered the inked panel to a Kraft card base, then glued the snow globe in the middle of that. I added my images and finished with a bit of White Gel Pen details and some Stardust Stickles.

Fawny Holiday Week! + 2021 Holiday Card Series #12

Hey friends, it's Fawny Holiday Week at Lawn Fawn, and I'm so happy to be participating today with this fun card combining so many sets to depict Santa's Workshop! I used Ho-Ho-Holidays, Holiday Helpers, You're Just My Type, Purrfectly Wicked, Unicorn Picnic, and the Virtual Friends Add-on. I colored them all in with my Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

To give the room that old-world charm, I blended Distress Inks onto a panel of Bristol Smooth Surface Cardstock. I used Antique Linen for the walls, and Gathered Twigs for the floor, and masked off the baseboard with Post-it Tape. I trimmed that panel down with an Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables and glued it to a Ground Coffee card base, then finished with a Walnut Ink sentiment and a bit of Stardust Stickles.

2021 Holiday Card Series #11

Hey friends, welcome to Day 11 of my Holiday Card Series! Today I'm featuring the sweet Avery Elle Christmas Critters. This was the very first Christmas stamp set I purchased for my series this year, so I'm so happy to finally be using it. I stamped all the images in Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

Then I mixed patterned papers to my heart's content! I used the DCWV Holly Jolly 6x6 pad, which is just so pretty. I cut the two base prints with the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables and gave the red plaid a rounded edge with one of the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders. The two I used for the focal panel I die cut with the Large Cross-Stitched Square Stackables and used another one of the Simple Stitched Hillside Borders for the snow drift. I popped my focal panel up with foam tape, adhered my images and Everyday Sentiment Banner, and finished with a few Sequins and some Christmas Red and Stardust Stickles.

2021 Holiday Card Series #10

Hey friends, welcome to Day 10 of my Holiday Card Series! Today's card features one of my favorite sets from the Hello Bluebird new release, Deck the Tree. For this card, I featured the cute little bunnies. I stamped them and their Christmas accessories in Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

Then I die cut the High Rise Tree Scene from Kraft Cardstock and inked up the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink.

For the background, I die cut some Bristol Smooth Surface Cardstock with the largest Nesting Mini Slimline, and inked that up with more Distress Oxide Inks. I used Cracked Pistachio and Evergreen Bough, then splattered that with Gansai Tambi Starry Colors and adhered it to a Sage Leaf card base. I added some Slimline Hill and Dale snowdrifts (since I don't have the regular size) and adhered my tree with foam tape between them and added some Chunky Glitter and my images, as well as a Nesting Circle sentiment moon.

I also created a full-size slimline version of this card featuring the red squirrels decking bunny's home. This one features a much darker night sky. Which version is your favorite? I can't decide!

Christy Gets Crafty with My Favorite Things - November

 

Hello friends, and welcome to the November edition of Christy Gets Crafty with My Favorite Things! For today's card my youngest son actually picked out some of my supplies. He chose the Winter Wonder stamp set, because it has two of my favorite animals in it, polar bears and red squirrels. I decided to pair that with Put the Jolly in the Holidays for the trees and the sentiment, since I'm still working on my Christmas cards. I colored everything in with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

Then I white heat embossed snowflakes onto an Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX and blended over that with Distress Oxide Inks, then added a Stitched Slimline Snow Drift (since I don't have the regular size in my stash).

The other item that my son picked out for me was the lime green tree patterned paper from the Holly Jolly 6x6 pad, which I of course, had to use, but I also wanted to add in more color so I pulled in a plaid from the Cheerful Plaid 6x6. I die cut both of those with the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 2, and sandwiched a Stitched Scalloped Basic Edges 2 between the prints when I adhered them to the Sno Cone card base.

I popped the focal panel up with foam tape, and added a sentiment stamped on one of the Grounding Elements for something a little different, then adhered my images. I finished the card with a couple sequins and some Stickles glitter glue.

I really hope you enjoyed this one, especially since my son had a hand in it's creation! That just made it extra fun for me. If you'd like to see this card come together, click below or watch on the MFT Stamps YouTube Channel! Have a great day!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #113 - Holiday Card Series #9

Hello there friends, it's time for another Lawn Fawnatics Challenge and this is a good one! It's time to bust out those Holiday Critters! For my card, I wanted to go with something more unexpected, so I combined the Halloween kitties from Purrfectly Wicked with a bunch of Christmas sets, including Furry and Bright, Joy to All, Holiday Helpers, Cheery Christmas, and Baaah Humbug. I colored them all with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

For my background, I used Let it Shine Snowflakes 6x6 patterned paper for the wallpaper, Woodgrain Dark Brown Cardstock for the floor, and a little strip of white for the baseboard, all trimmed out with the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I glued those down on a Chili Pepper card base.

Then it was time to stage my scene with these naughty kitties getting into the Christmas decor. I adhered all my images and stamped a custom sentiment using "have a PURR-FECT" from Spooktacular in Jet Black Ink and "Christmas" from Baaah Humbug in Lobster Ink. I stamped a Flirty Frame around that and hung it on my wall like a picture frame. And then of course, added a bit of Stardust Stickles.

This is also Day 9 of my 2021 Holiday Card Series, which I really hope you've been enjoying so far. Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss any videos in the series! And if you'd like the video, I would really appreciate your vote of confidence.
