Holiday Card Series – Day 19 Pink & Main and Therm-O-Web Collaboration

Hey everyone.  I’m your host for today and I’m sharing a card for the Pink & Main/Thermoweb Collaboration.  This is the perfect time of the year to pull products from different companies and pair them together to make beautiful holiday cards. In my tutorial you will be how simple it is to create amazing cards with very little sweat and tears. The Pink & Main and Therm-O-Web collaboration has so much inspiration to share.

Pink & Main/Thermoweb

For my card I pulled out all the pretty that I could find in my craft room.  I love the simplicity of this card but also all the sparkle it shows.  Just a few steps to this card and you something so pretty.

Let’s get into the tutorial.  Remember, I have listed all the products below for your shopping convenience.

 And of course I have a bonus card for you today. Since I live in Florida I just had to make a card using Pink and Main’s Deck The Palms stamp set.  This is usually what Christmas looks like for us Floridians.  LOL  I know I’m rubbing it in just a little to my cold weather friends. 😉 For my card today I used purple tape from Thermoweb to tape off my card so I could create the sand and the water.  I used Distress oxide inks in tea tea dye, tumbled glass and mermaid lagoon. To create the waves, I used my white gelly roll pen.

I did simple Copic colors on the images and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next I stamped my sentiment onto the sand and water panel with black ink. To pop up my palm tress I used cut out strips adhesive foam from Thermoweb.  I love that double sided foam.

Of course I needed to add just a touch of sparkle.  I pulled out some flat back sequins and adhered them to the card panel with ultra bond adhesive from Therm O Web.

Holiday Card Series 2019 Day 18 – Guest Designer Erica Andersson

Hey everyone. It’s Erica from CaCaCraft by Erica here with you. Today I’m taking over Dana’s blog and Youtube channel to share in the fun of Dana’s Got Joy Creations Holiday Series for 2019. I’m so excited to be taking part in this series and sharing the joy of crafting with you all. I have been creative in one way or another most of my life, but card making has been my main love for the last 13+ years now. I’m married to a really wonderful guy and we have two sweet little rescue dogs. We also recently moved to Valencia in Spain which might mean a very sunny Christmas. As a native Swede I am not used to that at all. Loving it, though. Besides being a crafty nerd, I am also a sun worshipper so no complaints from me!

Enough about me, back tothe cardmaking! Make sure you are following this series for amazing holiday inspiration, giveaways, discount codes and don’t forget to leave a comment below to qualify all the giveaways. There will also be tutorials and cards shared by Dana as well and she will have a few surprises to share with you!

I have gone for a reindeer, snow and Northern Lights card. Being Swedish those are key ingredients for Christmas. One of my favourite Christmas stamp sets is Merry Everything from MFT Stamps. I went all out and stamped up all of the images apart from the bubbles/snowballs on Neenah #110 card stock. All of them are coloured in with Copics, check out the video for some of the colouring. I didn’t film everything because, you know.. it’s colouring and we don’t have all day, lol.

The background is done with Picket Fence Studios Life Changing Blender Brushes and Distress Oxide inks, on Strathmore Bristol Vellum paper. The inks used are Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, Faded Jeans, Wilted Violets and Black Soot.

Erica AnderssonNaturally, I had to add white and gold splatters on it too. Because that’s what you do. Right? I absolutely love this effect and am not likely to be stopping it anytime soon.

The splatters are done with some whitepaint and white gold from Starry Color watercolor palette. This is my go-to for gold splatters. It has a range of gold colours from white gold to red gold, so you know there will be one that will work fab with your project. No matter what colours you are using.

Other products I have used include WOW! Embossing pad and Puff Powder, Everyday Sentiment Banners, Stitched Hillside Borders and glue tube from Lawn Fawn, foam sheets and foam pads. I wanted a snow-covered hill for my snowman, sleigh and reindeer, and created that using these products. I used the hill diecut on the card stock, dabbed the WOW! Embossing ink pad on it, very generously, and then sprinkled the Puff Powder all over it. After using the heat gun to activate it, it was so lovely and textured! It really does create some fab faux snow.

The sentiments are stamped in black ink on white card stock, then diecut those out using some banner dies. These I added to the parcel filled sleigh before adding to the card. Looking at it now, I’m thinking I should have added Glossy Accent to the reindeer noses, the bells and the sleigh runners to make them pop a bit more. But you gotta stop somewhere, right??

That’s it from me for this time. I hope you have enjoyed this post and video, if you watched that. Lots of love and happy crafting from EricaIf you want to see more from me, you can find me on various social media. Pop by and say hello!

Holiday Card Series 2019 Day 17 – Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil

Hey everyone.  I’m back with you today sharing a tutorial using the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil machine.  I must admit, I haven’t had the chance to play with the Spellbinders glimmer hot foil and all it’s wonders yet. However I felt the holiday card series was a perfect time to add some shine to my holiday cards.

So here is the card we will be making today. It’s a super clean and simple card and one you can easily mass produce. I need to add a disclosure to this video as I used my glimmer plate incorrectly while trying out the foil.  The foil ended up adhering to my plate and I had to use a sand eraser to remove the foil.  By doing this I did get some scratch markers on the plate so my tree is a little bit distressed. 😉

Let’s get into the tutorial.  I hope you enjoy the process I’m sharing with you and I will be using this machine more often in future videos. It’s a really great machine to have on hand and I would highly recommend you get one.

As I stated in the video, you can definitely use this die with other colors of foils and card stock.  These kinds are cards are super easy to pull together by making an assembly line with your supplies.  You can see from the tutorial I was able to create two beautiful cards in a short amount of time.  Give it a try, I’m sure you will be happy with your results.

I also created another card for some additional inspiration.  This card was super easy to create.  I used the Spellbinders Love Comes Down die cut.  I die cut this image three times with 100lb Neenah Solar White card stock adhering them together for added weight. Using glitter red card stock as my base, I adhered this beautiful image onto the glitter paper.  Neenah Solar White card stock was the base for my card today.

Spellbinder Love Come Down

Look how beautiful this card is!  I love the simplicity of this card and will totally be making more of these.

All supplies used for the video are listed below.  Have fun creating and don’t forget to comment.  We will be back tomorrow with another guest designer and more inspiration for your holiday cards. Have a great day everyone and see you back here tomorrow.

For my first cards this season, I picked a simple, yet fun design. Thanks to the Misti, I was able to create three similar card fonts rather quickly and was then able to customize all the backgrounds. But see for yourself how I made three super quick backgrounds – from “a lot of white space”, to “grungy”, and “spacy”.

What do you think? Great designs to start with? 

Did adding some sparkle make it more festive?

I sure think so, because what is Christmas without the glitter 🙂

Here is what I used

Stamps

Dies

Inks

Holiday Card Series 2019 Day 15 – Guest Designer Susan Opel

Happy Sunday and Happy December 1st from Midvale, UT! My name is Susan R. Opel, and I’m taking over Dana’s blog to share in the fun of Dana’s Got Joy Creations Holiday Series for 2019. I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with Dana in person, so when she asked if I wanted to participate, I was all like, “sign me up!” I love the connectivity in this industry, and I love how my two jobs working as Editor-in-Chief forScrapbook & Cards Today magazine and as Social Engagement Coordinator for Simon Says Stamp allow me to meet creative types from all over the world.

I have been a part of the craft industry since 2008 when I quit teaching and started a new career as an editor for Paper Crafts magazine. In those 11 years, I have nurtured relationships with a wide range of manufacturers and designers from all over the world giving me the unofficial title of Fairy Cardmother. We have new discount code to share with you today.

When it comes to Christmas cards, I tend to lean far more to the Jesus birth side than the Santa side (no offense, Santa). So when I saw this spectacular Heavenly Angel stamp from Hero Arts, I knew I wanted to create something sacred.

The super dark blue came next when I was concepting this design, and I felt like it would be perfect to mimic the dark sky of Bethlehem on the night when Jesus was born, and the glitter cardstock behind the Avery Elle Oval Burst die not only allows the angel to pop, it also sparkles like the star. Gold heat embossing and gold vellum add to the sophisticated vibe of this card design, and some gold sequins add even more sparkle, which is pretty much my fave. And of course, the sentiment from the Hero Arts Winter Holiday Messages stamp set is the perfect choice for my angelic card! Below is the supply list I used for this card.

One thing I love about card making is being inspired, and when I went to color my angel, I chose colors from the angels painted on the ceiling in my church in Michigan. I remember looking up at those chubby little cherubs when I was just a little girl. Such soft, yet majestic colors!
