Reindeer Fun by Debbie Brownmiller

A warm Hello to you. It's Debbie with you today from Debbie's Time Out.

With the cozy red plaids and deer so popular this year for Christmas decorations I thought I would create a card using both. I have inked, distressed and layered my background. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from the Winter Holiday Word set. I added the snowflake from the Snowflake Set 2 set. The some holly leaves were added from the Holly Lace Flourish .

Now for this cute reindeer. I cut him out from the Reindeer Fun set then layer different colors behind him and the trimmed him up a bit. It doesn't show in the photo, but I popped him up quite a bit so he really stands out as my focal point. Now this makes for a beautiful masculine card too.

Thanks for visiting the blog today and for all the comments you leave.
Have a great crafty day my friends.

Merry Christmas by Jenny Alia

Hi friends, it's Jenny her with you today sharing a Christmas card. I was inspired by this beautiful Merry Christmas die. It's large and I wanted to use it on a a larger card to really let it shine. I used a classic red and green color scheme and cut the Poinsettias out of a patterned paper from an older Bo Bunny Christmas stack.

I began by layering patterned paper on top of a 5.5" white card base. I added a white square before gluing the Merry Christmas, Holly Lace Flourish and Poinsettia dies. I cut the Poinsettia Strip twice to get enough blooms for the arrangement I wanted. The flowers were all double layered for fullness. The Holly Lace Flourish was also cut twice out of a dark green textured card stock.

For the extra finishing touches I glued pearl centers on the flowers and spread glitter paste on the petal edges. I sprinkled dry glitter over the paste while it was still wet. This paste is a new supply for me and I wasn't sure it would be sparkly or white enough for how I'd envisioned it. As one of my DT sisters recently said it's the season of glitter and I don't think you can go overboard during the holidays. For extra interest I added white Frantage embossing powder in the corners and heated with a heat tool from underneath.

Christmas Cardinal by Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi, it's Jenny here today sharing a Christmas card inspired by this week's challenge. I began by layering the Horizon Square Boutique Stacker Frames in red on top of a 5.5 inch square card. I took a smaller white piece of card stock and distressed the edges before layering a piece of design paper cut with the French Flair Classic Silver Stacker on top.

I thought the Fancy Bird House decorated in red and green would make a cute holiday home for thie Cardinal from the Feathered Friends set. I cut the birdhouse using kraft paper and then glued different colored papers to the back to add the detail I wanted. I also double cut the fence and layered the white fence on top of the kraft base. The snow is texture paste and then I also added sparkle by adding a glitter paste on top. I used two layers of the Holly Lace Flourish for greenery and added a snowflake from the Snowflake Set #2.

Holiday Poinsetta with Jenny Alia

Jenny Alia 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Hello! It's Jenny here today sharing a Christmas card I made. The 3D Poinsetta die from the latest Cheery Lynn Designs release is so detailed and I love the way you can pop up the center flower. It adds so much interest to a project. It would be perfect to add to a gift bag too. Just add some ribbon or flourishes like I did on this card and you're done.

I began by cutting out red and patterned card stock using the A2 Frames Rectangular Scalloped set. Then I cut two of the Holly Lace Flourish and colored them green with distress ink. The red bow is from the Sweet Candy Cane die. I cut the bow off the cane. It was simple to do because of the added detail in the die. I cut it twice and off set it a little so the white bow would show up and give it a shadow effect.

The 3D Poinsetta was cut using white card stock and colored with red distress ink. I glued flat back cream colored pearls to the center.

A Festive Card by Julie Lavalette

Hi Everyone, It's Julie here today. Thank you so much to everyone for their kind comments and 'likes' on our Facebook page with my Mixed Media Tutorial last week, I really appreciated it. I have made a Christmas card this week to share with you all. Let me take you through the steps of making this card.

I first of all stamped my image in black onto Kraft card and heat embossed with clear ink. Shading my image with Copics and adding Stickles to the berries.

I next paper pieced my large Snowflakes and Pine Branches to the reverse of my card layers to form frames.

You will have noticed on the green foliage I also cut out the top of the branch and layered on to form a corner point.

My Poinsettia's were made by colouring strips of white paper with Distress Spray Stains. I used Aged Mahogany, Festive Berries and Brushed Pewter and dried with my heat gun before adding a touch of gold mica spray. I then die cut out my Poinsettia Strip.

You get beautiful different shades on your flowers which gives a realistic look. I added some stamens and built them up.

I paper pieced my Holly and my Pine Branches onto my card, checking my Poinsettia would hide the joins before I finally glued on top. finally adding Stickles around the Perimeter.
