Hello everyone! Leanne here and I’m excited to back on the blog to share a festive holiday card featuring the Christmas Cake Pops. I loved the Halloween Cake Pop dies and was so happy to have this new set to continue the cake pop paper crafting fun well into the holiday season. 

The background for my cake pop scene is an A2 size panel of light blue card stock with lots of white and silver paint splatter. I used dies from the Christmas Cake Pops set to create the tree, snowman, and reindeer cake pops complete with all the details for each character plus the bows on the sticks. 

I wanted my cake pops to be arranged in a little pine greenery. I used dies from the Holiday Wreath Builder set to cut out the pine sprigs. I sprayed them with Fresh Balsam Mica Stain to add the shimmer effect before adhering them along the bottom edge of the card. 

To finish the card I added a greeting and some extra pine to space above the reindeer. The Joyful Holiday Wishes sentiment comes from the new Christmas Banner Greetings stamp set. I die cut the banner shape with Banner Greetings 1 dies. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Happy holiday crafting!

Hello crafty friends, it’s June and I’m sharing a card that has quickly become one of my absolute favorite holiday cards I’ve ever made. Something about this Christmas Bell Shaker just makes me so happy so I can’t wait to share my process with you all.

I took the traditional route and cut my bell out of yellow cardstock, so it would look gold when doing some ink blending on it. I filled the shaker with Enchanted Shaker Beads and Holly Berries Clay Confetti.

I love how there are a variety of embellishments included with the Christmas Bell Shaker, so I used them to add more details to my bell. I cut 2 of each sprig from sage green cardstock and the bow from pink cardstock. I did some ink blending on those pieces as well, and also added gel pen details to the bow and the bell. I felt like it could use even more detail though, so I also used the snowflake from the Christmas Bucket Additions as a little embellishment.

Now here’s the favorite part of my card: the background! The new Argyle Pierced Plate and the Candy Cane Stripes Stencil are a match made in heaven! While the candy cane stripes look beautiful on their own, I’m a sucker for everything plaid, so I didn’t even think twice about creating a plaid background for my card. And when you add the nice stitching detail from the plate in the mix, it gives such a beautiful effect! I went for a pink-ish purple to add even more color variety. 

To make the bell stand out from the busy background, I cut an Eyelet Circle out of white cardstock. For the sentiment I wanted to use the new Large Merry Shadow Die and complete the sentiment with one of the Christmas Banner Greetings. I cut the ‘Merry’ from pink cardstock and backed it onto the shadow piece cut from vellum. I stamped one of the sentiments in pink ink onto pastel pink cardstock and cut it out using one of the banners from the Banner Greetings 1 set. I can see this set becoming my #1 most used die set for sure, I already used one of the banners on almost all of my cards I made using this release. Such a nice basic set that still adds a bit of interest to any card!

And that’s the finished card. I hope you’re enjoying seeing all the cards the design team has made so far, cause I am for sure! Christmas card prepping season is always such an inspiring time, don’t you think? Anyway, see you again soon with another blog post, bye!

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today with a fun Christmas card featuring the adorable Gingerbread Holder Dies, Christmas Holder Additions Dies, Christmas Banner Greetings Stamp set, Banner Greetings 1 Dies, Candy Cane Stripes Stencil and the Holiday Gingerbread Clay Confetti. 

I started by making my background using the Candy Cane Stripes Stencil and ink blending with Candied Apple Distress ink onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. I took another piece of the Neenah Solar White cardstock and trimmed it with the second largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies.I added a piece of craft foam to the backside of the white panel before I adhered it to the candy cane panel. 

Next, I diecut all of the elements from the Gingerbread Holder Dies and Christmas Holder Additions Dies out of white and colored cardstock. I love that there are so many accessories available to decorate these gingerbread men. I added some color to the white parts of the hat and candy cane with Copic markers (C00, C1 and C3) for a little more realistic look. I assembled all of the parts with liquid glue and highlighted with a white gel pen. I trimmed off part of the legs in order for him to fit onto the white panel. He was adhered to the panel with foam tape for added dimension.

For the sentiment, I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Christmas Banner Greetings Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock. I used the dies from the Banner Greetings 1 Dies to trim out the sentiment as well as an additional green banner. The banners were adhered to the panel with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. 

The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25″ x 5.5″). I finished the card with a few peppermint candy from the new Holiday Gingerbread Clay Confetti and Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix. 

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Hi Crafty friends, Debbie here with Pretty Pink Posh’s new Holiday Word Scenes and the adorable Gingerbread Friends stamp sets from the Holiday Release. How cute are these sets together? I just can’t get enough of this release! It is packed with so much cuteness!

The Word Scene series debuted in the latest release, and I’m thrilled to now have the Holiday Word Scenes set as well. 

I started off by stamping and Copic coloring the “Merry and Bright” and the most of the Gingerbread Friends as well as a lot of the accessories in the set. I found myself going back and stamping and coloring more for the scene. So don’t be shy!

Copic Colors
E31, E33, E35, E37
R24, R27. R29, R39
YR24, YR27, Y18
BG11, BG13, BG15, BG00
RV52, RV63, RV55, RV66
C0, C1, C3
YR02, YR04, YR07

Once the coloring was done, I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies, adding foam squares to the back to pop them up.

Next, I used the new Argyle Pierced Plate, and ran it through my die cutting machine with a white standard A2 panel. But before I started to adhere it all together I wanted to frame it with the Scallop Frames Die in a bubblegum pink card stock.

I then attached the Argyle Pierced Plate and the Scallop Frame to a standard A2 card base with liquid glue. 

With the popped up Holiday Word Scenes and the Gingerbread Friends, I added white highlights to them and popped them on as well.

I have been obsessed with this red, pink, and teal holiday color combination! And with the brown from the Gingerbread Friends! LOVE! What’s your go to color combo for the holidays? Let me know in the comments!

Have a great crafty day!

Hello! Christina here to share an elegant holiday card with you featuring the beautiful new stamp set, Christmas Bells. The images in this set are perfect for any holiday card or even for making a set of tags. I added some festive embellishments to my card design for a little extra sparkle and added a new Christmas Banner Greetings to complete this joyful card design. Let’s get started! 

Christmas Bells Stamp Set – New!
Christmas Bells Coordinating Dies – New!
Christmas Banner Greetings Stamp Set – New!
Banner Greetings 1 Dies – New!
Candy Cane Stripes Stencil – New!
Scallop Flag Tags Dies
Scallop Frames Dies
Cherry Red Pearls

I started by stamping the images for my design with an alcohol ink-friendly black ink on white cardstock. I chose the bigger bell image with lots of greenery and some of the smaller holly leaves and pine sprigs. To color the images, I used Copic markers. Here is the coloring guide:

Bells: E41, E43, Y21, Y26, Y28, Y13, B000
Greenery: G24, G46

After coloring, I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies and set them aside while I worked on the remaining elements.

First I created the background panel by stenciling the Candy Cane Stripes with a sage green ink on white cardstock. Then I layered on a Scallop Frame and a Scallop Flag Tags in a coordinating cardstock color. The Scallop Flag provided the perfect place for the focal point of this design, the stamped and colored bell image. I centered the image and attached it with foam squares.

Next I stamped and heat embossed both the word “Merry,” included in the Christmas Bells stamp set, and the banner sentiment. I used a glittery red embossing powder for the “Merry” and die-cut it with the coordinating die. For the Christmas Banner Greetings, I used white embossing powder on more of the sage green cardstock and die-cut it with one of the coordinating dies. I attached both with foam squares and then tucked in some greenery around the banner.

For a frosty winter look, I used a white paint pen to add snowfall across the design, including on the stamped and colored images. For a little dimension and sparkle, I die-cut a bow from glitter cardstock and placed it over the stamped bow and added Cherry Red Pearls over the holly berries. 

Thanks so much for reading about my elegant holiday card featuring the beautiful Christmas Bells stamp set! See you again soon!

Hello, Gemma here today to share a Christmas card featuring the new Gingerbread Friends stamp set.

I began by stamping out images from the Gingerbread Friends stamp set and colouring them with copic markers. I then cut them out with the coordinating dies. I added a couple of plain die cut layers behind each image for dimension.

Copic marker colours

• Gingerbread: E50-51 E43-44 R20 R30
• Reds: R22-27
• Greens: YG01 YG05 G07
• Greys: N0-1

Next, I used the older Mini Storybook 1 die to cut some spaces from a square card panel. This is a great die to create a background focal space for your images. I used the die again to cut some patterned paper inserts. On the larger panel. I stamped a sentiment from the Gingerbread Friends stamp set.

I adhered the white card panel onto a 5.25” square card base, then added the patterned paper inserts. Finally, I added the Gingerbread Friends images to finish.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope this card inspired you and if you haven’t already, be sure to check out the brand new holiday release!
