A Peek Into My Stamping Room

Week 3 Christmas Card Idea....

Hello friends!  Hope you had a great weekend!  This Monday morning it was super hard to wake up and roll out of the warm bed.  The cold is a shock to the system that's for sure.  Since it is almost November it is time to really get going on those Christmas Cards.  I took off last week from creating Christmas because I am working on some new stuff for another HSN show with Crafter's Companion November 6.  I will have some projects to show you with those new products later in the week.

Today I have a Christmas card idea using the Signature Collection by Sara Davies - Scandinavian Christmas.  I really love the dies, stamps and ribbon that comes with this collection.  Here is my  5 x 7" card..

For the ornaments, I used the Stylish Scandi Metal Die & Stamp set from the Signature Collection by Sara Davies - Scandinavian Christmas.  This is a cool die/stamp set.  You can cut the ornaments like I did, you can stamp them and then cut them or you can just die cut a solid ornament.  It's a great combo for different looks.  For the ornaments on my card, I die cut some white glitter paper for the background of the red ornament.  It is so hard for me to get the glitter to show up when I took the picture.  After I adhered them together, I added some foam tape behind to adhere them onto the card front.  I stamped the sentiment from the Signature Collection by Sara Davies - Traditional Christmas Peace and Joy stamp set.  I really love that set alot, too!  Here is a closer look at my card.

 

 Thanks for stopping by today!  Be sure to check back this week.  On November 6, Crafter's Companion will have another HSN (Home Shopping Network) crafty day.  I have tons of cool products to share with you!

 

Week 2 Christmas Card Idea

Hello friends!  Today I want to share with you another Christmas card idea.  I am hoping that these project ideas will help you get started on your Christmas cards now.  So that you will not be rushing in December trying to make 50 cards.....don't ask me how this goes, it's not pretty!  LOL  This project could be a very cute card or you could totally make these to use as a gift tag. 

The supplies I used to create these cards are from Crafter's Companion.  This is called Signature Collection by Sara Davies - Cute Christmas and it was released just a few weeks ago on HSN (Home Shopping Network).  It looks like these products are sold out on HSN but they will be available soon on the Crafter's Companion website.  

Here is my project for today...

 

Using some Tonic Studios circle dies, I created the base of this shaped card.  It's so easy to do!  I fold an A2 - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" card and placed the circle die onto the card so that a portion of the die is off the fold.  Once you die cut it, that will create the circle shaped base of the card.   I die cut a scalloped circle from the Red mirror cardstock that is in the Cute Christmas collection.    Using scraps from my scrap box, I die cut the snowman.  There are some really small pieces for his eyes, nose and buttons.  If you don't want to take the time to glue all those little piece into place, you can definitely use a markers to color the face.  That would save you a bunch of time!!

To assemble this card, I cut a 3/4" black strip of cardstock.  I embossed the sentiment onto the cardstock using white embossing powder.  I die cut the "merry" from the red mirror cardstock.  I used some foam squares to pop up the snowman. 

Here is a list of supplies:

Signature Collection by Sara Davies - Cute Christmas -Build-a-Snowman Decorative Metal Die, Festive Phrases Decorative Metal Die and stamp set
Signature Collection by Sara Davies - Cute Christmas - Luxury Mirror Card
Signature Collection by Sara Davies - Cute Christmas -Luxury Foild Card Pad

Week 1 Christmas Card Idea

Hello friends!  Remember a few days ago, I talked about sharing a Christmas card idea with you every week?  Well, here is the first card idea I am going to share with you.  I don't really like making 40 or 50 of the same card.  I get bored easily and then it just feels like work, you know what I mean?  Well this idea I am sharing with you today is easy to change and still get a simple but elegant card.  Most of these supplies I used came from Crafter's Companion.  I will include links to the products but they are NOT affiliate links.  The links are just for your information.

Here is my Christmas card idea for this week....

This card was created using the Crafter's Companion new Sheena 3d Embossing Folder - Snowflake Dance.  This embossing folder was one in a set of 6 sold on HSN (Home Shopping Network) this week.  These should be available on the Crafter's Companion website in 30 days or so.   As you can see, I used some Navy Luxury Cardstock - Matte from Crafter's Companion and ran it thru the Gemini.  This card measures 5 x 7".  After embossing the matte cardstock, I layered onto some white cardstock and then tied the ribbon.  After the ribbon was tied, I adhered the card front to the base and then added the sentiment.  This sentiment is from Crafter's Companion Winter Joy Stamp set.  This stamp set includes some really cute images along with the sentiment.  I just punched out the sentiment using a label punch to make things really fast and easy.

Here is another card I created using this same layout......

See what I mean about changing things up so it doesn't get boring?  I could easily make quite a few of these cards!  This 3d embossing folder is from the Crafter's Companion Sheena -Poinsettia Plethora.  This was also available on HSN but I can't find it right now.  I will update links as products become available!

Well I hope I have inspired you to get busy making cards.  I know I always tell myself to not leave the cardmaking until the last minute and I am trying not to do that this year!  Keep checking back to see more Christmas card inspiration!!

Santa's Suit!

Hello friends!  I know that it's just October 2 but now is the time to start making your Christmas cards and crafts.   To help you, I am going to start a weekly blog post with a card or craft idea for the Holidays.   So today I have a fun card to share with you.  I created this card using some new stuff from Crafter's Companion that will be available tomorrow on HSN (Home Shopping Network).  I really love how this turned out....

Don't you love it?  When I saw this set of dies, I just knew what I was going to create!  The die set is from the new Signature Collection by Sara Davies - Cute Christmas.  The die set is called Santa's Suit.  The glittery white cardstock and the Red Mirror cardstock are also in this collection.  To make this card, I die cut santa's suit from red cardstock and then from the white glitter cardstock.  I die cut his belt from black cardstock.   I glued the white glitter cardstock into place so that there would be a bit of glitter without the mess!  I used some wooden pegs and silver twine to make it look like his suit is on the clothesline.  

The sentiment is a stamp/die set combo called Festive Phrases.  It includes all the sentiments you will need to create some seriously cute cards!  I die cut the "Jolly" portion from red mirror cardstock and after I adhered it into place, I stamped the rest of the sentiment.    You can check out the shopping list for the HSN show on October 3 - HERE!

I will say that this card will have to be hand delivered the way I made it here.  But I think if you didn't use the wooden pegs and just some foam tape to position his suit, you could probably get it thru the mail (with extra postage of course).

Hope that my cute card has inspired you to get busy with your crafting!!
