Fun Christmas Card

A Christmas card made with cut outs from Sizzix extended cut Forest, Train and Train Tracks and also Jeart Border Lace#18.

Stamping on canvas

Another card done with stamping and embellishing with beads.

Vintage Christmas Card

This Christmas card is made by stamping images on a white piece of canvas which is really easy to do - ink & stamp. However you need to let the ink dry completely before adhering to cardstock paper. Mine has smudge marks and resulted in a vintage looking card and that's the way I like it :) A quick and easy card to make and looks great, too, as the stamped images on canvas look like cross stitched.

Taken in another angle.

Wishing you and your family a merry, merry Christmas!

A Christmas card made with stamping on a piece of canvas and papers.

Prepare the papers. The more I create, the better my eyes are trained to find the color coordination that I like. The papers are inked along the edges or punched as border lace.

I stamp and color images on the canvas, embellish with a red star brad and frill the edges. The cut out Sizzix bauble is dressed up too. Messages are stamped on Jeart/ Double Do 1401046-12 Frame# 19 scallop circle. A piece of decorative ribbon is glued onto a strip of paper.

I play around with the arrangement of the cut and stamped and embellished pieces, glue on the buttons and gems.

Merry Christmas....Tweet, Tweet, Tweet!

Christmas in an equatorial climate...lots of green and brown...it's exotic Christmas atmosphere here. Papers and die cuts are from Sizzix. Embossed lace border is from Jeart 4000003 - Lace#24.

Embellished House and Christmas trees

READY, GET SET...MAKE CARDS FOR CHRISTMAS!!! YIPPEE! I'm really missing white Christmases, that's why I can't help but make Christmas cards with snowman and snowflakes die shapes to remind me of the white christmases I had had in the good old days...The house, snowflakes and embossed x'mas tree and border hollies are all from Jeart/Double Do/Kutz die shapes - Jeart 1301030 House, 120033 Snowflakes#3 and 1800071 Lace#50 border die.

Snowflakes and Snowman

I'm breaking away from traditional red and green theme for Christmas cards. Blue is cool and so are snowflakes and snowman. I used Jeart 1200333 Snowflake and 1300014 Snowman dies shown below. The Oval Scallop Frame is die cuts from Sizzix large die. The hollies are from craft punch. I attached a small orange bead for the nose (maybe a carrot shaped nose will look better).

D.I.Y. CHRISTMAS CARD

Christmas card

You'll need pattern papers (don't have to follow exactly the same pattern here), solid colored paper as contrast (seen here in red), paints (acrylic or watercolor pencils or whatever you prefer to use), double sided sticky tape, foam tape and ribbon (any color). I use acrylic paint here.

Cut pattern papers to the size of the card you prefer. Mine's a rectangular shape.

Fold and crease thick card paper.

Color the cut outs. I use hollies and color the leaves green and berries red.

Make a backing for the pocket. Glue pattern paper over card paper.

Punch a semi circle in the middle of the pocket envelope. You can also draw a semi circle and cut with scissors.

Stick double sticky tape around the edge of pocket envelope to create a pocket.

Cut small pieces of foam tape and stick to embellishments to give the 3-D effect.

Decorate with ribbon.

Cut tiny piece of sticky tape to stick underside of ribbon bow to stick on paper.

Cut out a tag (of any shape you like ) to keep inside the pocket. Decorate as you wish.

I stamped mine with words and decorate with a small ribbon. You can handwrite messages if you don't have rubber stamps.

Finished card looks like this.

Christmas cards

The snowman and snowflakes are cut outs from Jeart dies. I use sparkles for fingernail painting to enhance the christmas tree. The hollies are painted with acrylic paint.
