This card has a lovely vintage feel to it. Can’t believe it started out as plain Sahara Sand Cardstock. I used the same colour, Crumb Cake which is just a shade darker than Sahara Sand to do all the stamping and blending. It gives it a cohesive look. I kept the blending dark on the edges to give a border and make the centre pop.

I love background stamps. I have a huge collection and never purge any of them. They are so useful to create easy backgrounds in cardmaking, scrapbooking and of course art journaling. The gems are the Wonderful Gems and I’ve used them to look like berries scattered through the foliage. You could also heat emboss the Festive Foliage stamp set and then colour them in using your watercolour pencils. It would look fabulous.

Oh my gosh, aren’t these little critters cute!!! I want them all in my stocking this Christmas. I don’t know about you but when I’m not happy I gravitate to animals above people. Much easier to connect with I think.

These little cuties are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I put on an audiobook and had a nice relaxing half an hour of colouring. To add dimension I used the new acrylic shapes to decorate each of the stockings. They look really good in real life. The camera doesn’t show them off to their best.

I love this card as the strips of paper are meant to be wonky. The imperfect lines make this card look fabulous. I cut the strips at different angles with no measuring, no right or wrong. I just went for it. There is a little gap between each strip so they really pop from each other. The large sentiment and some foil sheet and bingo, you have a really great card.

How is everyone doing? Only a few weeks until Christmas. Are you excited? Yes, I am. I love the build-up to Christmas with all the lovely music, pretty lights and of course Christmas movies.

Here is a snowflake card I have to share with you today. I heat embossed the snowflakes with white embossing powder. They look so vibrant against the Night of Navy background. If you use a white craft ink it will never look as bright as white heat embossing. I used rhinestones in the centre of each snowflake for that extra bling effect!!

How to use Gilding Flakes with Stencils – Christmas

How to use Gilding Flakes with Stencils – Christmas – Perfectly Plaid – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I was so excited when the gilded flakes came out and couldn’t wait to use them. Of course, I did and then put them away and forgot about them. I was watching a video about gilding flakes and thought I need to pull them out and use them again so I did. Here is what I came up with.

I tacked my piece of basic white cardstock down to the stencil with low tack tape so it wouldn’t move on me. Next, I used versamark ink through the stencil, removed the stencil and applied heat & stick powder. Remember not to overheat the heat and stick powder, move on to the next section as soon as it’s melted. The gilding flakes stick to the heat & stick powder. Buff away the excess flakes and there you go!!

I just used one simple sentiment, repeatedly stamped to make this background. It’s quite effective. I stamped using versamark ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This gives a tone on tone effect but also some dimension to the background. The focal image is a journalling card from the Gingerbread & Peppermint Memory & More pack. Easy card to make and easy to repeat.

This is a really easy Christmas card to make. The Evergreen Elegance stamp set has a few trees of different sizes and heights to make your own forest. I stamped in Shaded Spruce as I love the lovely vibrant, saturated green it gives. The top of the card looked a little bare so I heat embossed the sentiment and stars in gold embossing powder. It wasn’t always easy to see the versamark ink for the stars, I can tell you.

I’ve made this style of card a number of times now. I just love the idea of the place for a hidden tag or gift card. The paper I used this time is the Sweet Stocking Designer Series Paper (DSP). It’s so cute that I didn’t want to cover it up with too many embellishments. I really wanted to let this paper sing good and loud.

I absolutely love the Poinsettia Petals stamp set. It carried over from the catalogue last year and I was so pleased. If you have read my blog before you will know I adore poinsettias and colouring. This card is a match made in heaven for me. I used the Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers to colour. I put a talking book and spent a lovely, relaxing time colouring in.

The Stampin’ Blends come in combo packs of a light and dark of each colour. If I wanted more shading I used more than one colour eg I used Real Red and Cherry Cobbler for the red and Olive and Mossy Meadow for the green.
