Holiday Card Series 2019 Day 8 – Guest Designer Courtney Kreeber

November 24, 2019

Hi everybody, its Courtney Kreeber and I am so exciting to be on a guest on Dana’s Blog and YouTube channel for her Holiday Card Series. I live in upstate New York with my 2 fur babies (Macey and Franky). I’ve been creating cards for about 8 years. Also a lover all techniques but I am mainly a colorist, primarily Copics. Love e a good one layer scene card and I have had the pleasure of working with tons of talented designers and wonderful companies. In my spare time, when there is any, I enjoy baking, mainly big fancy cakes, and drag racing.

Today I am sharing a card I created with the Christmas sELFies stamp set by MFT. I stamped 3 of the images with a Copic safe ink and colored them all with my Copic. I added a bit of shimmer to the background using some Liquid Pixie Dust by Ink on 3 and added a few white gel pen details. I finished off the card with the sentiment and a little Glossy Accents for some extra shine, especially to Rudolph’s nose.

Holiday Card Series 2019 Day 7 – Guest Designer Ilda Dias

November 23, 2019

Hello and welcome! Ida Dias here with you today. I am super excited to be guest designing for Dana’s holiday card series for 2019 by sharing a fun tutorial with you. On my blog I love sharing my crafty creations. You will see I mostly share papercrafts, but I also enjoy cake decorating, DIY’s, painting and well anything crafty! Today I will be showing you a super-easy way to create easy shaker cards without any frame or foam, thus the Fameless Shaker Card. I’ve had this idea for the longest time and I am finally sharing with you how easy they are to put together.

Easy Shaker Cards

I will keep this how to write up really brief on this post as it is easier to watch the video, plus to win today’s GIVEAWAY (valued over $100 box of craft goodies) you’ll have to leave comments on the YouTube Channels to qualify! Also, I share tons of my tips and tricks that I have learned along the way to make the card making process easier.

For my cards I used mostly products from Studio Katia, see links below for all the products I used.

I began with stamping out the images from the HAPPY SNOWMEN stamp set and then used the coordinating HAPPY SNOWMEN dies to cut them out. I then colored them in using Copic Markers.

Next, I created my background panels by adding some MOONSTONE GLIMMER PASTE to the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2” panels using the CONFETTI stencil. To create the frameless shakers, I used a page protector and trimmed the plastic slightly larger than the card panel, leaving a 1/2 inch border around. I then trimmed off the corners of the plastic.

To the back of the card panel, I added strips of adhesive tape. I then added the shaker bits to the center of the plastic sheet and then placed the panel finished side down onto the plastic sheet. Next, I flipped up the flaps adhering then to the back of the panel, sealing in all the shaker pieces. I then added the finished shaker fronts to the A2 card bases. To finish off the cards I popped on the images I colored previously and embellished them by adding sparkle and shine wherever I could. Now let me tell you more about this Holiday Card Series.

The GJC Holiday Card Series runs from November 17 to December 14. Like I mentioned above, there will be tons of giveaways, tutorials and discount codes from sponsors. Each day Dana will have a Guest Designer on her blog sharing their holiday card ideas just like I did here today.

Holiday Card Series 2019 Day 6 – Guest Designer Ardyth Percy-Robb

November 22, 2019

Good morning! It’s Ardyth Percy-Robb here and I’m taking over Dana’s blog and Youtube channel to share in the fun of her Got Joy Creations Holiday Card Series for 2019. 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 for all the giveaways!

Let me introduce myself to you. I started cardmaking in 2006, at a Stampin’ Up! Party and have never looked back. Before that, I would not have claimed to be crafty or creative at all. Working as an accountant, creativity is frowned upon! 😂 I love clean, graphic design with bold colours and lots of white space. My favourite cards are the ones where supplies are used in unexpected ways!

Christmas is the perfect time for glitz and glam, and today I used 6 different ways to add shimmer, shine and sparkle to a holiday card. You will see me use Nuvo Embellishment paste, Nuvo Glacier Paste, Sequin Confetti, Lawn Fawn Pearlescent Vellum, sparkly embossing powder and glitter cardstock! Now, that’s a lot, and you don’t have to use all 6 on one card, but I figured that Christmas is the perfect time to go all out and make something really magical! Let’s check out the tutorial I have for you today.

Holiday Card Series 2019 Day 3 – Concord & 9th

November 19, 2019

Hey everyone. It’s Day 3 of the Holiday Card Series. I am your host today. I hope you are enjoying the series so far and you are getting inspired by our guest designers. Today’s cards feature products from Concord and 9th. Concord and 9th is a company I adore. Their products are amazing and so creative. The owner Angie is one the sweetest people I know. I love her dedication to the crafting community and supporting crafters is genuine. Thank you Angie for supporting me again this year. Let’s get into the tutorial.

For my first card I used the Stocking Stuffers stamps and dies from Concord & 9th to make a cute stocking card with a colorful snowflake background. This card was super easy to pull together and I love the color combos on this one.

Concord & 9th Stocking Stuffers

To tone down the brightness of my background panel I used a sheet of vellum.

For my second card I used the Merry Shapes stamp set and die. These stamp and die combo make very clean and simple cards that WOW your recipients. Keeping the card to just two colors really lets the image stand out. Repeating a pattern across a card is a simple way to mass produce your holiday cards. I stamped the image first with Versamark ink on navy card stock. I heat embossed the images with gold embossing powder. Next I die cut out image with the coordinating die. Setting these pieces aside I began to work on the sentiment.

Concord and 9th Merry Shapes

Keeping with the clean and simple look I stamped the sentiment on navy card stock, heat embossed it in gold embossing powder and glued into onto a strip of gold foil paper. Now it was time to put my card together. Starting with a white card base, I layered on navy card stock. To bring in some gold I pulled out my neutral foil pack and used the gold paper so I could layer another piece of navy car stock on top. I adhered my die cut shapes across this panel with foam tape and trimmed down the extra bits hanging off the sides. For the sentiment, I popped it up with foam tape as well.

Concord and 9th Merry Shapes

This panel was now ready to for the card base. To finish off the card I glued down a few flat back sequins on several of the open circle areas on the card. Super easy card to make multiples of. I’ve linked the products below that I used on these cards. Thanks for stopping by today. See you back here soon.
