The countdown is on!

 Christmas is only 61 days away!!!  I can't believe it is coming around so fast!  Do you make your own Christmas cards?  You know I do love a good quick and easy card....and then mass producing is even easier!  But I am terrible at sending Christmas cards.  I will admit it!  But I do enjoy making them.  The latest Greetery Release....click HERE to see it...is full of beautiful stamps and dies to create your own Christmas cards.  

Here is one I just whipped up!


The Greetery


To create this card, I grabbed the Ornament Box Top Vertical Rubber Stamp and added Altenew's Morning Frost Ink.  I stamped it off once, so it would appear even lighter on the background panel.  I just wanted it for a little bit of detail.  Next, I used the Tartan Builder Stencils to create that plaid piece.  I die cut it out with the Cozy Cup Coaster Die.  I added that to the bottom of the card base and then added in the Pine Wisp Dies.  I die cut them out of white card stock and then used Copics to blend in a bit of brown for the stem and some green on the needles.  I added some spray adhesive and then sprinkled on 2 different sizes of white glitter for some sparkle.  I finished the card off with a sentiment from Opposites Attract Holiday Stamp set and its coordinating dies. I added a little holly detail in as well from the Curio: Attic Ornaments Die Set.

I know it's been super quiet around here.  I have been in full band mom mode with all the marching competitions.  In addition to that, I do Covid Investigations for our Health Department so between the 2, there has been zero crafting in here!  I am glad you stuck around and stopped by today! Hope you have a great day!

Spellbinders


I chose 3 different patterned papers from the paper pack included in the kit and lined 3 card bases.  Next I tool the ephemera pack and added lots of details on each card.  I love that everything coordinates and works together!


Spellbinders


One of my favorite parts of the kit, is that so many of the pieces are covered in gold foil detail.  Love that shine!

Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Garden Rose Release Blog Hop + Giveaway





Nothing is prettier than a garden rose! Enjoy our Craft Your Life Project Kit, an exciting monthly package that is sure to get the creative juices flowing! Featuring a 6x8 stamp set, coordinating die set, as well as a stencil and embossing folder to fit the theme, this project kit has almost everything you need to start crafting. Just add ink and cardstock, and you'll be good to go! This kit features a stamp including two beautifully drawn roses with three layers each and four leaf outlines. Leave these unfilled, or add color with the stencil set! One stencil acts as a coloring/mask stencil, one includes bold stripes, and the third contains three words that go with the sentiments in the stamp set. Finally, add texture with the 3D embossing folder for a stunning project!


Altenew


This quick and easy card was made with the embossing folder from the kit.  I simply inked it up with an ink pad and then ran it through my die cut machine.  The ink transferred like letter press!  Super easy!
