Simple Christmas Wreaths

Morning crafty friends and what a chilly one it is here this morning. Today I am sharing a couple of quick Christmas cards that I've made...
 

For these cards I used Concord & 9th Boughs & Holly Stencil Pack. I used various inks with the stencils to create two different coloured wreaths. I used my MFT Merry Christmas Die-namics Die to create the layered sentiment. I die cut the back piece several times and glued them together to create a more 3d sentiment. I also added a few clear bubble embellishments onto each card.


Supplies;
Concord & 9th Stencils - Boughs & Holly
My Favorite Things Dies - Merry Christmas
Distress Oxide Inks
Clear Bubble Embellishments

Merry Post

Good morning crafty friends. So sorry for the lack of recent posts, I have been super busy but I will be posting more creations as soon as I can. For today's card I used some of the latest stamps from Mama Elephant to create a winter scene...

For this card I used Mama Elephant You've Got Mail Stamp Set. I coloured the images with Copics and cut them out. I created a simple blended background using Uncharted Mariner, Mermaid Lagoon & Salvaged Patina Oxide Inks. I added some water and white ink splats and allowed it to dry. I created some snow hills using my Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border Dies. I used my Lawn Fawn Forest Border to create the little trees in the background and coloured them with Copics. I added all the pieces onto the card and splattered the whole panel with white ink splats to look like snow. I die stamped & die cut the sentiment using my Pink Fresh Studio Perfect Sentiments - Holiday. To finish I added a few clear gems.

A Little Sparkle

Hello crafty friends. Today I am sharing a slimline Christmas/Winter card that I made using some super cute stamps from Mama Elephant...

As soon as I saw these cuties I knew they would be perfect in a scene. I couldn't decide which ones to use so I ended up using most of them on a slimline so I could fit them in! I used Mama Elephant Dashing Through The Snow Stamp Set. I coloured all the images with Copic Pens and cut them out. I used my Mama Elephant Slim Woodland Die to create the tree and snow scene. I blended a simple background using Distress Oxide Inks and added some white ink splatters. I used my Mama Elephant Everything Nice Stamp Set along with the coordinating dies to create the sentiment. I added a few clear gems to finish.
