Using Santa's Sweets SVG file, cut the house with an electronic die cutter. The svg file can be found HERE.    The step by step instructions are included and very straight forward.   Use the Camelia Carnation Designer Paper for the trim and panels.   The candy cane embellishments on the corners of the house were cut on white cardstock and the candy cane coloring was applied with Copic alcohol ink markers - (R20, R22, R24, R27).

Apply texture or molding paste to the roof and sides of the house.   Sprinkle with Crystal Clear Glitter while the texture paste is still wet.  Allow to air dry.     

Cut the poinsettias and holly using the Poinsettia and Holly Cluster stamp set.    Sponge the poinsettias with Lipstick Red ColorBox Ink and the Holly with Olive Grove Ink.   The tips of the Stack and Store Daubers are pointed and work well with the small flowers.    Lightly mist the petals and shape with the Poinsettia and Holly Cluster mold.   Additional shaping can be done with the Deluxe Flower Shaping tool, if desired.   Yellow prills were adhered to the centers with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.  Adhere to the reindeer house.   

The candy cane reindeer were created with pipe stems, google eyes and little red pom poms.  A glue gun works best but be careful of your fingers!  The flower rhinestone was adhered to the front of the door with Dries Clear Adhesive.   

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a safe and wonderful Holiday Season!

Create a 6 x 7 inch side fold card from ivory paper. Cut wine cardstock at 5 x 6 1/2 inches.   

Stamp the Forever Love Background Stamp on the wine cardstock with Versamark and Embossing Enamel - Aged Ivory.   Set with a heat tool.  Distress the edges of the wine cardstock.   Adhere  to the right  side of the card base, leaving a margin as shown.   Apply Designer Dries Clear Adhesive to the left side of the card and apply Gala Glitz.    We are out of the Gold but the white or silver would be gorgeous!   Allow to dry. 

Stamp the Sun Kissed Fleur Petals on Art Foam Paper.  I used Memento Rhubarb Stalk but StazOn works the best for Art Foam.    The Leaves were stamped using Olive Grove.   The petals and leaves were colored with the following Copic Alcohol Ink - ( Leaves - YG21, YG61, YG63, YG67,  Petals -  YG65, YG67,  RV61, RV63, RV66).   Die cut the images with the coordinating die.   The petals were lightly heated with a  heat tool and shaped with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.   Assemble and punched  a small hole in the center with a small tool  and insert the Bright pearl - Medium stamens through the center or each.

Cut the eyelet heart from wine cardstock and two nested hearts from the Heartfelt Love Paper Collection, die using the Eyelet Hearts Die set.  Adhere the flowers and leaves on the hearts as shown with a glue gun.   Create a coordinating dimensional  envelope or  tie a beautiful bow around the card  and it's  ready to give to someone special!

Heartfelt Creations - Partial Die Cut Hear

Cut heavy white cardstock at 5 1/2 inches x 12 inches.  Score at  4 1/4 in and 9 inches.   Draw a light  vertical  line 2 inches from the outer edge of the right flap.  Using the Eyelet Hearts Die, place the center of the larges plain heart die on the line and secure with repositional tape.   Secure the outer portion of the heart on the cutting mat up to the line.   Only the part of the heart that is to be cut should be on the cutting mat.  Allow the rest of the card and die to rest freely from the end without any pressure.  This is called a "partial die cut".   Run the card through the die cutter and then cut the paper vertically on your light pencil line.   This will allow the outer edge of the heart to be a flap over the edge of the card.    Cut a pink layer at 2 1/4 inches x 5 1/4 inches and the designer paper from Heartfelt Love paper collection at 2 x 5 inches.   Adhere to the left flap.      Cut the left pink panel at 2 3/4 inches and adhere to the left flap.    Die cut the Sweetheart Border die on white paper and weed using the Spellbinders Tool n' one.   Trip the left side of the die cut to allow for 1/8 inch border around the inside of the flap.  Apply Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and apply to the left flap on top of the pink layer.

Die cut a pink Eyelet Hearts Die that will nest inside the white heart as shown.  Adhere the pink heart.     Apply Dries clear Adhesive  to the inside of the heart and sprinkle generously with    Mauve Gala Glitz.   Allow to dry.

Stamp the sentiment  using Banner of Love stamp set onto X-Press It paper with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.   Color the image with the following Copic Alcohol ink - (Ribbon - B21, B24, B26, B37, C5, Flowers - Y00, Y11, Y15, Y35,  Leaves- YG11, YG03, YG67).   You can choose any ink or medium that you prefer.  Die cut with the coordinating die.    Cut 3 additional pink sentiments and adhere the layers with a small strip of mounting tape between each layer. This will add great dimension. Adhere the image with some overlap into the heart.

For a final touch, cut a pink mat at 4 x 5 1/4 inches and a white layer at 3 3/4 x 5 inches and adhere to the inside of the card.  This will add an extra special place to write your message.

A Video showing how to shape the Dogwood flowers using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit can find it > https://youtu.be/gI8RqHAt3vE.

• Create a 5 ½ x 5 ½ inch top-fold card base from heavy white cardstock. Cut two base layers measuring 5 ¼ x 5 ¼ inch from blue cardstock.

Adhere the layers with Double sided tape. Die cut the center circle using the Eyelet Circle and Basics Small Dies. Cut an eyelet circle, using two nesting die and adhere to the front of the card using Designer Dries clear Adhesive. 

• Stamp the airplane from the Young At Heart Stamp Set. I used Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and X-Press It Blending Cardstock because the image was colored with Copic Alcohol Markers (Y11, Y13, Y18, Yr24, B20, B21, B24, B26, B29). Die cut the airplane and three additional images from blue cardstock. Adhere the layers of the airplane together for added strength using Designer Dries clear adhesive. Apply 3 D Crystal Lacquer to the propeller and the blue trim for shine and added dimension. Adhere to the front of the card as shown with a glue gun. 

• Stamp the sentiment from the Simply Classic Cling Stamp Set with Versamark Ink and heat set using white detail embossing powder. Apply to the inside of the card. 

• Stamp the flowers from the Flowering Dogwood Stamp Set using Rouge Fluid ColorBox Chalk Ink. Sponge the center with Ranger Fossilized Amber Ink and the edges of the petals with Rouge ColorBox Fluid Chalk Ink. Stamp the leaves from the Simply Classic Cling Stamp Set and sponge with ColorBox Olive Pastel Ink. Shape the flowers using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit and allow to dry. Adhere You Got Me At Yellow Prills in the center using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive. Shape the leaves and adhere around the base of the circle. Adhere the flowers with a glue gun.

Heartfelt Creations - A Vintage Christmas Angel

Welcome!    I am glad you stopped by!  
Today I am sharing a Christmas Card I created with heartfelt Creations' Winter's Eve Cling Stamp Set.    I love getting some Christmas cards done early!   This is a vintage take on the theme!

Vagabond 2 with Solo Wafer-Think die Adapter, 532423-Kit

Ivory cardstock, Dark brown cardstock, medium brown cardstock,  stamen, lace, pearls, Clear Crackle Paint, heat tool, glue gun, Copic Markers (W1, W3, W5, E33, E31, E35, E37,  E 40, E44, E45, E47, B00),  X-Press It Blending Cardstock,  70% alcohol, Q-Tips, mini mister, Misty. Vintage Photo Distress Ink,  Heidi Swapp Stencil, Texture Paste, palate knife, denim fabric, Walnut Stain Distress Oxide, hemp twine.

Create a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 top fold card.   Cut base mat from dark brown cardstock at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches.  Cut light brown mat at 5 x 5 inches.   Apply Heidi Swapp Stencil and apply texture paste over light brown mat.  Allow to dry.

Stamp angel/tree image  with Desert Sand on X-Press It from the Winter's Eve Cling stamp set.  Stamp the branches from the Window Box Fillers Stamp set.    Color the images with the following monochromatic colors with Copic Alcohol Ink Markers -  (W1, W3, W5, E33, E31, E35, E37,  E 40, E44, E45, E47 and a touch of B00 on the snowy branches for a little pop of color).    The Bokeh  background was created with a Q-Tip and 70% alcohol.   Tip:  Avoid 100% alcohol because it will evaporate too fast to allow the Bokeh effect.   The base of the Christmas tree was textured by applying 70% alcohol to a denim piece of fabric.   Tear the edges and sponge with Walnut Stain Distress oxide.  If I did this again, I would select a lighter brown ink.

Stamp the Poinsettias from the Sparkling Poinsettia collection using Desert Sand Ink. Cut the branches and poinsettias with the coordinating die.    The flowers were misted with a mini mister and shaped with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.  The petals were adhered with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.   Clear Crackle Paint was applied to the petals and sprinkled with Rajni Chawla's Frosting Powder.  Heat Set.  

Adhere a strip of lace to the right side of the card.  The focal image was adhered with clear adhesive.   Hemp twine was coiled and tucked under the focal image.  The poinsettias  and snowy branches were adhered with a glue gun.  Pearls were added for embellishment.



Thank you for stopping by!   I hope you have a wonderful, safe week!

Stamp the frogs, dragonfly and mushrooms from the Froggy Hangout and Leaping Frog Stamp Set.  I used Ex-Press It Blending Cardstock and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  You can use any paper compatible with your ink.  The images were colored with the following combo -  (Purple flower - BV000, BV00, BV13, BV17, Frog - YR21, YR18, Y11, YG13, YG17, YG67, W3, Dragonfly - V00, V05, V09, RV00, RV04, RV17, YG11, YG17, YG67, Mushrooms - BV00, BV13, BV17, #40, E41, E44, RV00, RV04, RV17).

Create a water lily flower by cutting the lily pad freehand from green cardstock.   Create the water lily with the Sun Kissed Fleur Stamp and die set.   The flower petals were cut  with the coordinating die and sponged the Guacamole for the green leaves and Squeezed Lemonade for the flower petals. They were shaped with the Deluxe Flower Shaping tool and adhered with Dries Clear adhesive.  The stamen were adhered with glue.   An 8 inch piece of goldenrod quilling strip (or 1/8 inch lightweight cardstock) was coiled tight with a quilling tool.  A 1/4 inch purple strip was clipped along the side with a fine scissor and wrapped around the yellow coil.  It was adhered on top of the stamen for the flower center.
 

Good Luck to you!
