Merriest Moments Christmas Card

 

Christmas is a wonderful time of year when we can enjoy spending time with our family and friends. Giving handmade Christmas cards shows them how special they are to you. 

I love making Christmas cards and sharing with my viewers how I created them. I especially love the Merriest Moments Bundle because it comes with a beautiful embossing folder. I am looking forward to creating more cards using this bundle and sharing them in future videos.

Have fun stamping and have a blessed day!

Blossoms In Bloom Get Well Card

I created this card using the free Bedazzling DSP. Unfortunately this is no longer available. The free Sale-A-Bration items are always "While Supplies Last" even though, as of the posting of this video, this Sale-A-Bration period hasn't ended yet. We are always sad when this happens, but sometimes the items are so popular that they disappear quickly.

I said in my video that I used Polished Pink Ink refill in the spritzer, but it was actually Flirty Flamingo Ink refill. Sorry for the confusion. 

I am doing a drawing for all the elements for this card. All you have to do is watch my YouTube video, subscribe to my channel, like my video, leave me a comment, and then share my video. You will need to let me know in your comment that you shared my video. I will be using comment picker so it is important that you leave me a comment. I will announce the winner during my next YouTube video.

Stampin' Up doesn't allow us to stamp anything on the card kits we send out, so you will need to purchase the stamp sets if you don't already have them. Have a blessed day and have fun stamping.

Love & Joy Christmas Card

I love using the free Bedazzling DSP! It is a challenge to die cut with the intricate dies, but is well worth the extra effort. I filled one of the Stampin' Spritzers with 70% alcohol and four drops of Shaded Spruce re-inker. Then I took a piece of the 6x6 Bedazzling DSP outside and sprayed it until it took on a lovely shade of Shaded Spruce. After letting it dry, I used the Christmas Pinecone die to cut it out. Wow! I love the green sparkle on this card.

Paper Pumpkin Alternative #4 August 2021

Here is my final Paper Pumpkin Alternative for August 2021 unless I come up with another one next week. I hope you have enjoyed the variety of cards that I made using this month's kit. 

I used an embossing folder and a die on this card just to make it a little more interesting. This kit has some beautiful colors and was so much fun to work with. Please let me know if you are enjoying creating with this kit. Have fun stamping and have a blessed day!

Paper Pumpkin Alternative #3 - August 2021

To create this alternative, I cut one of the card bases in half. I used my blending brushes on the back half of the card (I got this idea from Chelsea Christensen), stamped the butterflies and flowers with Versa Mark ink, and then heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I cut that piece in half and then cut the pink card front in half. The end result gave me two cards instead of just one. 

I also utilized the backs of the labels that were not in English. The sentiments fit perfectly on some of them. The Double Oval Punch worked great on the larger labels that were in the kit!

Have fun stamping and have a blessed day!

Paper Pumpkin Alternative #2 - August 2021

This alternative card was very simple and easy to make. You will need to cut apart your Brilliant Wings Dies in order to create this card. My husband cut mine apart using a pair of tin snips (he used to work in the sheet metal industry). I also cut apart my Butterfly Brilliance cling stamp set. I decided they were more useful to me as individual stamps and dies. 

I cut apart one of the envelopes in the kit and used it as the background color behind the butterflies. If you cut a thin strip off of each end of the envelope and then open it up, you can use it like designer series paper. You could also just use the blending brushes and color a piece of basic white card stock.

Follow the link below to see a tutorial showing how I created this card. Also, there is a list of supplies and sizes below of the products I used. Have a blessed day and have fun stamping!
