2021 Holiday Card Series #25

Hello friends! Welcome to Day 25 of my Holiday Card Series! Today's card features some sweet images from Hello Bluebird Frosty Friends and Snow Play stamp sets. I wanted to create a cute little winter scene with a beautiful patterned paper frame. I colored my images to match the Simple Stories Make it Merry 6x8 pad and die cut them with their matching dies.

For the background, I watercolored with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink onto a piece of Bristol Smooth Surface Cardstock. Then I die cut that patterned paper with the Hello Bluebird Gallery Frame #2 and popped that up with foam tape. I added two Slimline Hill and Dale snowdrifts and adhered my images. Then I die cut the Jane Small Alpha dies out of colored cardstock and heat embossed the rest of my sentiment. I finished off the card with Tiny Iridescent Stars, Stardust Stickles, and some Dr Ph Martin's Bleed Proof White snow.

This is my last Christmas card for 2021, but I will be back for Day 26 of the Holiday Card Series with a New Year's card. If you'd like to see how this one came together, click below or watch on YouTube. And don't forget to like and subscribe! Thank you so much for watching!

 

Christy Gets Crafty with My Favorite Things - December

Hello and welcome to the December edition of Christy Gets Crafty with My Favorite Things! Today I'm excited to bring you a sweet card using the new Stacey Yacula stamp set Sweet Skunks. I think these critters are just darling and I love the background images, which can be used for so many different scenes. I colored them with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

Mini slimlines are some of my favorite shaped cards to make, and I love the detail of the new Mini Slimline Double Stitched Rectangle STAX. I used that for my background and blended on Distress Oxides to create a sky and grass. I applied Speckled Egg using the Cloud Stencil and Bundled Sage and Mowed Lawn with the Drifts and Hills Stencil.

I stamped a sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black Ink in the top right corner and adhered it to a Kraft card base. Then I added a few splashes of gold with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors, and then finished the card with a few Sparkling Clear Sequins filled in with Platinum Stickles.

I really hope that you enjoy this sweet scene and that you'll check out the video tutorial on the MFT Stamps YouTube channel. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #115 - 2021 Holiday Card Series #24

Hello friends and welcome to our final Lawn Fawnatics Challenge of 2021! This one has a fun inspiration board for you to be inspired by. It's definitely more of a New Year's theme, but I was still in a Christmas mood, so I created by card based mainly on the bottom right photo, while pulling in the dark woodgrain and silver accents from the bottom left, and the outdoor theme from the top right. I combined several stamp sets including Cheery Christmas, A Bug Deal, Frosty Fairy Friends, and Joy to the Woods.

I started by stamping the images in Jet Black Ink, coloring them with Copic markers, and trimming them out with the matching dies. Then I trimmed down a piece of teal Let it Shine Snowflakes 6x6 patterned paper to be my sky background. I added two Stitched Hillside Borders to be my snowdrifts. I colored the top edge of those with Copics as well, to give them a frosty look.

I adhered my background to a Rainforest card base and added my snow drifts and images. Then I die cut some Silver Metallic Cardstock with the largest Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frames to pull in those silver accents in the inspiration photo, and popped that up with foam tape. Then I finished off the card with a bit of Stardust Stickles.

2021 Holiday Card Series #22

Hello and welcome to Day 22 of my 2021 Holiday Card Series! Today I'm featuring the sweet Mama Elephant Hot Cocoa stamp set. I colored the images with Copics to match patterned papers from the Simple Stories Feelin' Frosty 6x8 pad, then trimmed them out with the matching dies. I used the Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics for the background, along with some Lawn Fawn Moonstone Cardstock for the scalloped layer, and Ballet Slippers for the card base. I finished up with some Sparkling Clear Sequins and Stickles.

2021 Holiday Card Series #21

Hey friends, today I'm back with Day 21 of my 2021 Holiday Card Series using the incredibly adorable Hello Bluebird Sweet Christmas stamp set. I am just in love with these gingerbread kids and that house was so much fun to color! I colored everything with Copic markers to match patterned paper from the DCWV Holly Jolly 6x6 pad and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

I trimmed down the patterned paper with the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables and added a Slimline Hill and Dale snowdrift. Then I adhered my images with liquid glue, and stamped a sentiment in Bubblegum Ink. I finished the card with some white gel pen details and  Stardust Stickles for a bit of sugary glitz.
