Sloth Like Christmas Card | Slothy Christmas Stamp Set

Sloths! Aren't they just the cutest things?! And then when you add a Santa Hat, they just get even more cute! My second card was created using the Slothy Christmas Stamp Set. I again stamped and colored the images with Copic Markers.
To give my little sloth something to hang onto, I added some pine boughs die cut using the Pines & Holly Die Set. I then adhered everything to a piece of white cardstock that I die cut using the stitched scallop frame from the Frames & Flags Die Set.

Wobble Toad Christmas Card | Mistle Toad Stamp Set

My third and final card today using the new mini stamp set called Mistle Toad! I once again stamped and colored the image using Copic Markers. I then die cut a couple of tags using the  Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. For a fun twist on things I adhered the toad image onto one of the tags using an action wobble spring. I love that it now looks like the toad is hopping around!

Merry Christmas Stockings Card | Holiday Stockings Stamp Set

The first card I'm sharing today was created using the new Holiday Stockings Stamp Set. I colored each stocking with Copic Markers and die cut them with the coordinating die set. I then personalized them by adding a name to each stocking...one for each of us...including our sweet Bubba's! On a side note, the stocking die that coordinates with this new stamp set also coordinates with a stamp set released last year called Stylish Stockings.

Holiday Cheer Shaker Card | Ornamental Wishes Stamp Set and Ornament Shaker Die Set

This next stamp and die set are perfect for the shaker card lover! However, don't think that that is the only way to use this set. Make sure to check out how the other designers use this set and show you just how versatile it can be! I personally love creating shaker cards, so that is was I created to share with you today.

I began taking the solid ornament die from the Ornament Shaker Die Set and cut a piece of white cardstock with it. Using the Ornament Wishes Stamp Set, I stamped a sentiment in the center. This piece will be the back side of the shaker. I then took a piece of Double Sided Adhesive Foam and die cut it using the ornament frame die. I peeled off the adhesive liner and adhered this on top of the sentiment/back piece. To fill the shaker, I used one of the confetti dies that cuts out "Ho Ho Ho" and mixed in some sequins from my stash. Next, I die cut an Acetate Sheet using the solid ornament die and adhered this to the top of the double sided adhesive foam. To complete the shaker box, I die cut another ornament frame from red cardstock and adhered that on top of the acetate.



To further embellish the ornament, I die cut a topper from gold foil. For the final touch, I added some holly using the holly leaves and berries dies from the Pines & Holly Die Set. I hung the shaker using a bit of gold cording and wrapped it over the top of a piece of green patterned paper that I cut out using the stitched rectangle die from the Frames & Flags Die Set.

For the background, I took a piece of Bristol Paper and the Holiday Foliage Stencil. I inked each cut out section with Distress Oxide Ink using a finger tip sponge dauber to help apply the ink into the small sections. I then finished it off by inking the edges of the stenciled piece before applying to the card base.


I hope you enjoyed this bit of Christmas card inspiration using the Holiday Stockings Stamp Set and Ornamental Wishes Stamp Set and Ornament Shaker Die Set. Here is a look at all of the new products we're revealing today.

Meow To The World Card | Caroling Newton

Believe In The Magic Card | Winter Memories

To give the look of snow I did 2 things. First, I splattered some water onto the inked paper and then dabbed it dry with a paper towel. The second thing I did was to stamp the snowflakes with Versafine Embossing Ink and then heat set them with white embossing powder. I did this second step after I stamped my scene with Ranger Archival Ink in Black (When stamping on top of Distresss Oxide ink, make sure to use a permanent ink such as Ranger Archival Ink or Versafine Pigment Ink. Otherwise, you will cause the Oxide Ink to react with the water in the ink.)
