Hello!
Today's blog is on two Christmas cards that I made back in December. I simply adore the MFT dog and yeti stamps and decide to have them as the focus of my two cards.
I stamped the images on Neenah Solar white card stock, coloured them with copic markers before using circle dies to cut them out.
I decided to pop the images up with a larger circle and also added foam backing behind the smaller circle.
I then used some green and red ribbons and brown glitter card stock in my stash to give some colors to an otherwise all-white card.
For sentiments, I used those in the stamp set and added snow brads to accessorise the card further. The brads are brand new and I love that there are different patterns of snow with glossy and matt metals.
I'm taking part in the latest Simon Says: Something New Wednesday Challenge with these cards.
Thanks for visiting my blog and enjoy your day!
Hello! Today my post is about a Christmas card I made for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge -- Simon Says: Christmas.
I created the background with a Simon Says Stamp stencil and distress oxide. I decided to deviate from the usual Christmas colors and instead create something in pastel colors. The color combination is simply gorgeous and I love the chalky feel of distress oxide!
To turn it into a Christmas card, I die-cut the words, Peace, Love and Joy from Penny Black dies in shimmer white cardstock. However, the words blended in with the busy background, so I die-cut the same words in pink as shadows. This allowed the white words to stand out from the background.
Lastly, I added a grey snowflake die-cut at the bottom right corner of the card to have a little bit of winter.
Supplies used are:
Simon Says Stencil Heart Mandala
Penny Black peace love dies
Distress oxides: picked raspberry, salty ocean, twisted citron
That's all I have for now. Till next time!

This is the second holiday-themed card I've created. I'm submitting it for the Hero Arts November Challenge.
I love Christmas!
I came across this Nordic tree stickers I bought some time ago (and forgot) and decided to make a few Nordic-themed Christmas cards. I arranged the trees in a circle and added a "Celebrate" die-cut from red glitter paper. I stuck a few the Celebrate words together to layer and thicken the word up.
I submitting this card for the Hero Arts November Challenge.
Thanks for visiting my blog and enjoy the weekend!
