Christmas Cards using Simple Stories Simple Vintage Christmas Lodge Patterned Papers

\ 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog! This is a photo filled post. I won't be sharing a lot of narrative about these cards. I don't want to take most of your time. If you have any questions, feel free to post it in the comment section. 

I know Christmas is over but you can never run short of Christmas cards, right?

 

This Santa card was created based from a sketch linked below. The Santa panel is from the 3x4 elements sheet from the collection. Using a craft knife, I cut off the sentiments from another 3x4 element. I inked the edges with a black dye ink to cover the white core of the patterned paper. I pounced sticky ink over it and poured Wow! Clear Gloss Ultra Hight embossing powder to it, then heat set it. I repeated this twice for a smoother finish. Looks like an enamel sticker, right? 



This floral card involves a bit of fussy cutting. I fussy cut the floral border from the 4x6 elements sheet. The sentiment is from the same 4x6 panel. I left a bit of a border when I fussy cut. I added details to the sentiment with the use of a green shimmer pen and a white gel pen. This card was also created based on a card sketch linked below.

 

Nobody can resist a shaker card, right? I made a boo-boo on the sentiment of this 4x6 element. To cover it up, I used a sticker from the Simple Stories Holly Jolly sticker sheet. It perfectly fits the space I am covering. Just like with the first card, I made this into an enamel looking like embellishment doing the same process I did with the first card. The circle window outline is from a paper from the Simple Stories Wood Basics 12x12 paper collection. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
