It's time to make Christmas cards!

Hello!!

I have made some fun Christmas cards for you today, 

using Craftangles stencils, glimmer pastes and art sprays!

For the first card, I used the Craftangles 'Floral Mesh' stencil with Tim Holtz distress inks to create a backgroud. 

I die cut this panel using Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle dies. 

I then added a stamped and fussy cut holly image and a sentiment (from Hero Arts).

I then layered it with another die cut panel (in red) on a black card base from Craftangles.

I finished the card with some clear sequins from Craftangles.

For the second card, I used the Craftangles snowflakes stencil 

and the Craftangles Fairy Dust glimmer paste to create a background. 

I then added a die cut panel in white in the foreground and a die cut lamp, wreath and bow.

I added a sentiment from Hero arts and finished the card by adhering it to a red card base from Craftangles.

For the next card, I started by smooshing some Tim Holtz mowed lawn distress ink onto a smooth white card base. 

Once dry, I used the Craftangles Christmas tree stencil along with the Craftangles 'Fairy dust' glimmer paste to create the background.

I then adhered a die cut white panel for the foreground and a die cut and distressed (with Tim Holtz tea die distress oxide) deer. 

I then stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts and adhered this panel to a kraft card base to finish the card.

Oh, and I also added a die cut bow to the deer for a splash of colour.

For my last card, I created a background using the Craftangles 'Dots' stencil and Craftangles 

Art sprays. Once dry, I used the Craftangles 'Rays' stencil and Craftangles gold glimmer paste to create a unique background.

I then added a die cut white deer layered with a die cut piece of fun foam in order to give it dimension.

I added a sentiment (hero arts) and a little red resin heart for colour and interest.

I adhered the panel to a white textured square card base to finish the card.

I hope you enjoyed these cards as much as I enjoyed making them!

All the products used have been linked to the HNMD site so do have a look.

Happy Diwali!

Hello!

Happy Diwali!

I have for you today, two cards using distress ink smooshed backgrounds. 

For the first card, I used Tim Holtz Carved Pumkin and  fired Brick distress inks to create an ink smooshed back ground. What this means is, that, I put down some ink on a piece of acetate, sprayed some water on it and then applied the ink onto the back ground.

Once dry, I stamped the diyas and Om with the same ink to create a tone on tone background.

I stamped, watercoloured and fussy cut the Ganesh image from Craftangles 'Ganpati Bappa' stamp set and adhered it to the card panel using 3D foam tape.

I then stamped sentiments from the Craftangles 'Diwali Sentiments' stamp set and added some gold sequins to finish the card.

For the second card, I started with an ink smooshed background created by using Tim Holtz Carved pumpkin and Festive berries inks and water. Don't you love that almost liquid firey look of the colours!

I stamped Lakshmi devi's feet using the Carved pumkin ink for a tone on tone look.

I stamped, watercoloured and fussy cut the Lakshmi image from Craftangles 'Shubh Labh' stamp set and adhered it to the card panel using 3D foam tape. 

I finished the card by stamping sentiments from the Craftangles 'Diwali Sentiments' stamp set and adding some gold sequins.

I hope you enjoyed this post and will try out these stamps.

Have a wonderfully festive season!

Stay blessed!
