Holiday Card Series 2021 – Day 7 Concord & 9th

November 12, 2021

(Affiliate links used at no cost to you)

Hey everyone. We are on day 7 of the Holiday Card Series for 2021. Today I’m working with Concord & 9th products for a lovely watercolored card design. I had to do a little bit of watercoloring for this series again. Watercoloring for me in such a easy thing to do. I don’t overthink the process as I just let it flow.

The color palette today is from the Ink Combos Guide you can find the in sidebar of the blog. It’s a free download for you to use for your holiday cards or beyond.

My second card today is sharing that same color palette this time with a touch of gold sparkle. All products are link below.

You can watch the video here or over on my Youtube channel.

Thanks for stopping by. I’ll see you back here on Monday for another tutorial for the Holiday Card Series. Have a great weekend.

Simon Says Stamp Handmade Holiday Release

November 10, 2021

Hey everyone. This morning I’m sharing a card using a new product from the Handmade Holiday Release from Simon Say Stamp. My card is featuring the Holly Branch Embossing Folder. WOW this embossing folder is stunning.

To create this gorgeous background I first spritzed a piece of white cardstock with Rangers Distress Mica Spray. Next I dried the cardstock with my heat tool until all the moisture was out of the paper. Pulling out my embossing folder, I placed the paper inside with the embossed side facing the paper and ran it through my die cutting machine.

Since I had not played with my Nuvo Mousse in a very long time, I decided to buff it over the embossed paper to give it an aged look. Oh the shine on this card is incredible in real life!

I used my R39 Copic marker to color over the berry and finished the card off with the Simon Says Stamp Large Joy die cut!

This was an incredibly easy card to make. You can use different colors of mica spray and the Nuvo mouse! Make sure to swing back by here at 1:00pm EST today for the next tutorial for the Holiday Card Series 2021. See ya then.

Holiday Card Series 2021 – Day 5 Pink Fresh Studio

November 8, 2021

Good afternoon everyone. Holiday Card Series 2021 Day 5 is here. Pink Fresh Studio is our featured products for today and I’m using a totally non-traditional color palette. If you missed day 1 and want to start through the series click here.

Let’s get into the card. The tutorial will show you how I used a stamp set that you normally would not consider to be a Christmas stamp. By pulling out those non-traditional stamps you can really make stunning just by having a cooler color palette. Mixing the Olive and Tidal Pond inks really makes the green leaves pop!

My second for inspiration using the same color palette really is a clean and simple card. Just a touch of greenery behind the sentiment and this card is complete.

You can watch the tutorial here on the blog or over on my Youtube channel.

Thanks for stopping by today and I will see you back here soon with more card making inspiration.

Hey everyone. We are on day 4 of the Holiday Card Series 2021. Today I’m featuring products from MFT. The color palette is number 2 in the Ink Combos guide. I love this happy little color palette. The cards today were really quick and easy so I have two to show you in the tutorial.

First up is the rainbow “northern lights” sky! I mean come on, you know you want a rainbow sky! Both cards are featuring the Seasons Greetings Stamp set from MFT.

The next card is using the My Favorite Things Confetti stencil. I love this stencil for bokeh effects on cards. Just a little bit of coloring with Copic markers and this card was another quick one to make.
