After gathering some colored cardstock, I added an A2 piece of dark green cardstock to my card base. I used the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die to cut a piece of dark blue cardstock and adhered it to the center of the card base.
The next layer is a piece of cream cardstock and I stenciled Distress Oxides in Aged Mahogany, Tattered Rose and Victorian Velvet with the Layered Music Notes stencils. I splattered on some champagne gold watercolor to give it some shine and when it dried, I used the second largest Stitched Torn Rectangle Die to cut it out. Before attaching this piece to my card base with foam adhesive, I embossed the “Happy New Year” sentiment in gold from the Happy New Year stamp set.
Using the Happy New Year stamp set and Balloon Numbers stamp set, I stamped my images with an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used Ohuhu Art Markers to color my images; you can watch the video today to see the colors I used as well as how I added some white colored pencil and glitter markers to turn my balloons into mylar balloons! I used the Happy New Year coordinating dies and Balloon Numbers coordinating dies to cut out the images.
My balloons were added to the card base with liquid adhesive and I layered on the champagne bottle, champagne glasses and party horn with foam adhesive. For some final touches, I added sequins from the Matte Gold Confetti Mix around the card.
I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season and I wish you a Happy New Year!
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today for a Christmas card mixing new previously released products. I just love that I can mix and match from different releases to make a card!

I started with using the Layered Winter Wreath Stencils to add brown to the twig details of the A stencil, red to the berries of the B stencil and two green inks for the leaf and pine needles of the C stencil. When the stenciling was done, I used the largest Eyelet Rectangle Die to cut out the wreath so that it looked centered in the middle of the rectangle.
Next I stamped my images from the Poinsettia Corners stamp set on some cream colored cardstock and colored them in with Ohuhu Art Markers, then used the Poinsettia Corners coordinating dies to cut them out. I stamped them in a brown ink to match the colors and have a softer look to the poinsettias – I love the off-white poinsettia look of the colors!
For my sentiment, I’m using a cranberry red colored cardstock to cut two layers of the Happy Holidays Shadow Dies – just the words for this card. I used an adhesive sheet when die cutting so that I could easily adhere the two layers of the words together for extra stability when I’m ready to glue the sentiment to the card.
To assemble the card, I adhered the Eyelet Rectangle and Winter Wreath panel to an A2 size of brown cardstock which was then adhered to an A2 card base. I popped up the two Poinsettia Corners clusters with foam adhesive and then my liquid adhesive to adhere the sentiment to the center of the card.
For final touches, I used the Matte Gold Confetti Mix to add some shine around the card and some gold glitter embellishment to the center of the Poinsettia Corners images. I just love how rich this card looks and makes a beautiful holiday card.
I hope this brought you some inspiration today and that you’re excited for the Christmas season!
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today using one of my favorite PPP sets- Penguin Pals stamp set . I am coloring them with fun colors and putting them onto a box card!
Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube
I started with using the Layered Mittens Stencils to add green, blue and purple inks to a light blue piece of cardstock. After the splatter of metallic watercolor ink dried, I cut the scallop dies from the stenciled set and the box card dies out of a dark blue with the Scallop Box Card Dies. I assembled the box together using my adhesive runner.
Next I stamped my images from the Penguin Pals stamp set and colored them in with Ohuhu Art Markers, then used the Penguin Pals coordinating dies to cut them out. I added the penguins to my assembled box card and then moved onto the sentiment.
I decided to use “Winter” from the Holiday Scripts stamp set and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also stamped “Season’s Greetings” from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set. I cut the secondary sentiment with the Sentiment Strips Die Set as well as vellum and the dark blue cardstock. The sentiments were layered together and popped up to the front of the box card.
For final touches, I used the Aqua Shimmer Confetti, Mint Shimmer Confetti, and Purple Shimmer Confetti mixes to add some shine around the box card.
I hope this fun colored box card inspires you today to have some winter fun crafting today!
Hi everyone! Rebecca Keppel here today with three different shaker cards made with the Stocking Shaker Die.
Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube
The first card is created in a way that builds the shaker down into the card. The Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads are such fun shaker goodies with a traditional holiday color scheme. For the sentiment, I used the Hot Foil Merry Christmas plates and cut out the foiled sentiment with the Merry Christmas Shadow Dies.
For the second card, I create a stocking shaped card and build the shaker up above the card panel. I used a non traditional Christmas color scheme of light colors and so the Christmas Tree Clay Confetti for inside the shaker. The Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stamp Set has a ton of perfectly sized sentiments and I used one with white heat embossing. These sentiment strips work perfectly with the previously released Sentiment Strips Dies.
Finally the third shaker is an end to end shaker or a rectangular shaker with the Stocking Shaker Die used to create a flat die cut to decorate the shaker window. To create the rectangle shaker frame, I used the stitched rectangle from the Fancy Cake Die. For inside the shaker I used the Christmas Magic Shaker Beads. I love the way the beads move so quickly inside a shaker window!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope these cards inspired you!
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video making holiday tags that you can use when gift wrapping or to top goodie bags filled with sweet treats.
Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube
I started with die cutting all of my parts of the tags with colorful cardstock and holiday patterned paper. I love rainbows for Christmas! I cut the Merry Script Die out of silver metallic cardstock and white sparkle cardstock. Next, I cut the patterned paper with the square from the Mini Scallop Card Dies and the card base out of different colored cardstock so we can make six tags in total.
The two layers of cardstock for the Merry Script sentiment are layered together so the silver just peeks out to the right of the white sparkle cardstock. The squares were adhered to the front of the Mini Scallop Card. The colors of the paper inspired my colors for the next step, stamping and coloring my images.
I stamped the Christmas Cupcakes stamp set onto some white cardstock that is alcohol marker friendly. I wanted my images to have a grey outline, but I do not have an alcohol marker ink that is dark grey. So I started with stamping my cupcakes with a fadeout ink and colored them with a “no line coloring” look. I used my MISTI to stamp, so I put the paper back into the MISTI and stamped over my colored images with a grey ink to achieve the look!
After the images were cut out with the Christmas Cupcakes coordinating dies, it’s time to assemble the rest of the tags! I picked which cupcake would look best with the colored cardstock and patterned paper and adhered it to the Mini Scallop Card. My Merry Script sentiment was then adhered to the tags!
In my video, I share how I turned one of these little tags into a gift tag that can be later used as an ornament by using a hole punch and some twine. I hope this inspires you to create your own holiday tags for the season!
Hi crafty friends! Rebecca here with a card featuring the easiest way to color in stamped images! First I stamped out several of the pumpkins from the Autumn Pumpkin stamp set.
Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube
In different colors of ink. I quickly poured clear fine detail embossing powder on top and heat set the pumpkins. Next I used blending brushes to blend the same colors of ink that I had stamped on each of the pumpkins starting at the bottom and pulling the color to the top. This easy blending colors the pumpkins to look like they’ve been colored with blending and shading but only takes a few quick minutes!
Next I used the with the same colors of ink to create a rainbow argyle background.
Then I grabbed the Autumn Pumpkin Coordinating Dies to cut out all the pumpkins. I also die cut a flag with the Sentiment Strips Dies and placed the positive and negative of this die cut in a stamp positioner so I could line up the sentiment stamp from the Sentiment Strips Fall stamp set.
I layered a piece of white cardstock cut with the Stitched Torn Rectangle Dies on top of the argyle background and then popped up the sentiment strip and pumpkins on top.
I love this technique as it is the easiest way for my to create shaded and colored stamped images in minutes! I hope you’ll give it a try! Thanks for stopping by!
Hello friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today and I’m popping in to share some Christmas tags that I made, along with a tutorial on how to make them.
Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube
I used the largest die from the Scallop Square Tag dies for the base of my tags. I die cut the tag from white cardstock. I masked off the sides of the tags with Scrapbook.com Mint Tape and then inked a background inside the square. I added ink to the top of the tag to resemble the sky, but I did not ink the bottom of the tag. Instead, I left the bottom of the tag white so that it would resemble snow.
For the images of my tags, I used the Christmas Dinosaurs stamp set. I stamped the images onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors: Bright Yellow, Yellow, May Green, Light Green, Mid Brown, Turquoise Green, Carmine Red, Red, Violet, English Lavender, Persian Blue, Light Gray and the Blender.
After coloring the stamps, I die cut them with the coordinating dies. Next, I arranged the stamps onto the tags and stamped the sentiment. I punched a hole in the top of the tags and added a red bow.
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a great day!

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today and I’m sharing three cards and three ways that I used the new Tree Cover Plate from Pretty Pink Posh. I’m going to be using some holographic silver and gold cardstock to get a beautiful shine on my cards.
Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube
The Tree Cover Plate die is the size of an A2 size card (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”). There are nine Christmas trees that have beautiful stitched designs on them. You can take the Christmas trees out of the die cut or leave them in the die cut for a different look.
I die cut the Tree Cover Plate from white cardstock and then die cut it two more times using Holographic mirror paper in gold and silver. This gave me a total of three cover plate die cuts. I removed all of the Christmas trees from all three die cuts and set them aside.
For my first card, I glued the white Tree Cover Plate die cut shape onto an A2 card base and then added the silver and gold Christmas trees to all of the openings on the cover plate. I added dimensional foam to the back of the Christmas trees to give them dimension. I added a sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas stamp set and used the coordinating dies to cut out the sentiment.
For my second card, I added the gold Tree Cover Plate die cut shape onto an A2 card base and then added five of the white Christmas trees (from the white Tree Cover Plate) to the openings. For this card, I glued the white Christmas trees flat to the card and then added the sentiment with dimensional foam to pop it up.
For my third card, I used the silver Tree Cover Plate die cut shape and turned it into a shaker card! Be sure to watch my video to see how I made the shaker. I used the Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads for the shaker.
I love how you can get so many different looks from just one die! Thank you for stopping by today!
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video making three cards – they all have a similar layout, but they’re for a different holiday! The new Holiday Trees Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies make beautiful Christmas cards, but they’re also great for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
Watch the video above I Watch the video in HD on YouTube
I started with hot foiling all three of my sentiments with Satin Metallic Hot Foil and the Large Boo, Thankful Script, and Merry Christmas Hot Foil Plates. I used the shadow dies from the Large Boo, Thankful, and Merry Christmas Shadow Dies to cut each of them out. Next I cut out the second largest Eyelet Rectangles Die out of white, kraft and black cardstock.
For my backgrounds, I have a piece of pink, yellow, and mint blue cardstocks A2 in size. I used the Deco Leaves Stencil to add in a subtle background with Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold, and Evergreen Bough Distress Inks respectively. I also added some ink to the edges of the background and used Distress Mica for some beautiful splatter.
While my backgrounds were drying, I started stamping out my trees from the Holiday Trees stamp set for each of my cards. I used four different colors per card and you can see how I stamp each set of trees in today’s video. The Halloween card uses Distress Inks in Milled Lavender, Saltwater Taffy, and Spiced Marmalade as well as Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink. The Thanksgiving card uses Distress Inks in Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw, and Vintage Photo as well as Fallen Leaves VersaFine Clair Ink Pad. Finally, the Christmas card uses Distress Inks in Evergreen Bough, Kitsch Flamingo, and Salvaged Patina as well as Warm Breeze VersaFine Clair Ink Pad. When all the stamping was done, I used the Holiday Trees coordinating dies to cut them out.
I assembled each of the cards together similarly as you can watch in today’s video. The Eyelet Rectangles are adhered to the center of the background with foam adhesive, the Holiday Trees added with liquid adhesive and foiled sentiments with foam adhesive. For some final touches I added Purple Shimmer, Espresso, and Strawberry Shimmer Confetti Mixes for some extra shine!
I hope today’s cards bring you inspiration for all kinds of holidays and I would love to know what other holidays you think this layout could also work for… Maybe you’ll see more holidays from me with these trees!
