Good day!

I don't know about you, but I just LOVE these cute puppy's from the Bella and Friends stamp set! So adorable that I had to make another card using these cuties! You can check out the other projects made using this puppy for Christmas cards here and here.

How To Make It: 

This card started with a card base of Mint Macaron cardstock.

Then I added a strip of Fancy Frost Designer Series Papers that I had inked up with a Real Red ink pad.  Before adhering the strip to the cardbase I tied some Candy Cane Lane Baker's Twine at one end.

On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the cutie patootie puppy dog from the Bella and Friends stamp set with Archival Basic Black ink and once it was dry I cut it out using the circle from the Stitched Shape Framelits.

The puppy was then colored in using Aqua Painters and Crumb Cake ink (or Stampin' Write Marker). The collar was colored with Mint Macaron and Real Red Stampin' Write markers.

The Jolly Hat Builder Punch was used to punch Real Red and Whisper White cardstock. The hat was assembled with Mini Glue Dots and then added to the stamp circle.  Then the layer was added to the Fancy Frost Designer Series Paper strip with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Finally, the sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set was stamped with Black Ink and punched out using the Decorative Label Punch and added to the cardfront with SNAIL Adhesive.

Now, onto today's card which features the Jar of Cheer stamp set to make this pretty watercolored Christmas card.

How To Make It: 

This card starts with a card base of Real Red cardstock.

Then on the Shimmery White cardstock, the foliage and ornaments from the Jar of Cheer stamp set were stamped in Archival Black ink and dried with the Heat Tool. Once dry, the stamped image was watercolored with Aqua Painters and Crushed Curry, Real Red and Cucumber Crush ink pads, coloring in the background as well.

The background was dried with the Heat Tool and then the sentiment from Jar of Cheer was stamped with Cucumber Crush ink and the splatter from Jar of Cheer was stamped with Crushed Curry ink.  Then the Shimmery White piece was adhered to the cardbase.

On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, the jar from Jar of Cheer was stamped and then die cut using the Everyday Jar Framelits.

Then the candle from the same stamp set was also stamped with Archival Black ink and then colored with the Aqua Painters and the same color inks as the background.

The Crushed Curry Baker's Twine was tied around the top of the jar. Stampin' Dimensionals were added to the back and then it was added to the cardfront.

As a final touch, the Clear Wink of Stella was added to the stamped images for some extra sparkle!

Hello! 

Today's card features the Christmas Pines bundle- the Christmas Pines stamp set and Pretty Pines Thinlits-to create this fun Christmas wreath card. 

How To Make It: 

This card starts with a base of Mint Macaron cardstock. Then a layer of Watermelon Wonder cardstock and Whisper White on top. 

Then the Pretty Pines Thinlits were used to die cut several pieces of Mint Macaron and Cucumber Crush cardstock. The die cuts were layed out on the Whisper White layer to create the wreath. Once I was happy with the wreath layout I used the Fine Tip Glue Pen to add a dot of glue to each die cut glueing each one under the previous one. 

Once the wreath was completed, the sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set was stamped with Watermelon Wonder ink on the bottom of the Whisper White cardstock. 

I pieced together a bow out of Watermelon Wonder Striped Ribbon and added it to the card front with Mini Glue Dots. 

As a final touch, some Pearls Basics Jewels were added to the wreath.

Good Morning! 

Today's project features the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and Cookie Cutter Builder Punch to create this ornament. The base of the ornament was made using several cuts of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper using the Layered Squares Framelits dies. 

How To Make It: 

The base of the ornament is easy to make and can be used with other various stamps, die cuts and punches to create the focal point image.

Start by die cutting the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper three times using the Layered Squares Framelits. Score the squares down the middle and fold. Add some strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive to each folded half adhering two of the squares together. 

Before adhering the last square, take some Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine and thread the Christmas Trinket Embellishment onto the twine and then knot it leaving a loop at the top. Lay it in the middle of the already adhered squares, then add the last square with Tear & Tape Adhesive making sure the have the loop of twine coming out the top middle of the squares and the trinket ornament hanging off the bottom. 

From here, you can decorate the ornament any way you like. I kept it simple by stamping the gingerbread man from Cookie Cutter Christmas on Crumb Cake cardstock with Soft Suede ink. Then I punched it with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the gingerbread man to the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. 

As a final touch, some Rhinestones Basics Jewels were added to the front of the gingerbread man for sparkly buttons.
