Hey everyone. Welcome to day 5 of the Holiday Card Series for 2022 and we are using stencils and a background stamp to make our cards today. I love, love, love how these cards came out.

By using a word stencil, a background stamp and a stencil with open areas, these cards came out amazing. I also made sure to start with colored cardstock to make ink blending a breeze.

Holiday Card Series 2022 – Day 4 Faux Dip Dye

November 14, 2022

Hello everyone. Welcome to Day 4 of the Holiday Card Series. We are working on faux dip dye today. I have watched Kristina Werner do this one her holiday cards and I love it. So I took the brave step and decided to give it a try for the holiday card series.

Holiday Card Series 2022 Faux Dip Dye

This process for this technique is really simple. By adjusting the amount of water and watercolor paint you can make a beautiful gradient card. Also to deepen up a color,  add black a little at a time to get the color you are looking for.

Don’t forget you can see all the cards I’ve made by clicking this link or you can find them by searching the blog for holiday card series.

Holiday Card Series 2022 Day 3: Metallic Watercolors

November 11, 2022

Nothing makes my heart happier than metallic watercolors on black cardstock. Iuile watercolors are now one of my favorite watercolors. They are so shimmery and look magnificent applied to cards or in this case tags. These beautiful stars are from the Simon Says Stamp Peace On Earth stamp set.

 

Holiday Card Series 2022 Day 3 Metallic Watercolor Tags

A simple sentiment that is not oversized works wonderfully on the tags. By keeping the sentiment on black cardstock, it matching with the tag and does not compete with it.

Holiday Card Series 2022 Day 3 Metallic Watercolors

Okay on to the tutorial. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel.

Here is the bonus card I mentioned in the video. This card was made using the same stamp set. For this card I did no-line watercoloring on the angel and I’m in love with the way it came out.

Remember you can find more holiday inspiration here on the blog by clicking this link. That’s a wrap for today. Have a fantastic weekend and I’ll see you back here soon!

Holiday Card Series Day 2: Infinity Snowflakes

November 9, 2022

Hello everyone. Welcome to day 2 of the Holiday Card Series 2022 and let’s use Infinity Snowflakes to make our card. Today we are making a layered snowflake card. Infinity dies are an easy way to make quick cards. Just switch out the colors of cardstock on each layered piece and you have endless color scheme.

Making a card with just one theme (meaning I’m not adding anything to the card besides snowflakes) keeps a card looking harmonious. There is nothing to distract your eye from the snowflakes.

Holiday Card Series 2022 Day 2

By adding the Hero Arts Glitter Paste, I’m able to add texture to to card without a real design that competes with my snowflakes.

Keeping my color palette in a more neutral palette with just a pop of red helps the card brighten up just a bit.

 

Today’s tutorial will show you how to create this sparkly card with little happiness in your heart. You can watch the tutorial here on the blog or over on my Youtube channel. A supply list has been added below for your shopping ease.

You can find all videos for this years series by click here. Thanks for joining me today. I’ll see you back here for day 3 soon. Have a wonderful day everyone.

The colors are from@concordand9th! The background is nectar and the inks are Popp, Buttercup, Watermelon and Parsley

My second card is featuring the Ruffled Blooms bundle. When I purchased this set, I knew I wanted to do this on black cardstock with rainbow flowers. I add a layer of sparkle on top to really make it pop!  The colors for this card are also from @concordand9th and are Poppy, Buttercup, Tidepool and Fig! These colors make a spectacular rainbow. 

Keep bringing us all the goodies Gina!!!

My card is featuring the new Rose Branch die cut and the new Under Water stencils. There are four stencils to create this beautiful background. Using a white gel pen I did some wonky (I mean seriously wonky 😂) faux stitching on the card as well.  I love the cool colors for green on this card.
