DT Rianna ~ Christmas 2

Hi everyone,

This month's theme is Christmas at Auzz Trinklets N Crafts and I have another cute card to show you all. This one I think most of you will WOOLY like, especially the crafters out there who love yarn! 😛

~My Process~

First I started with a white card base at 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches. The My Favorite Things A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 ( 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" ) was perfect to cut my front panels. I cut one from smooth yellow cardstock and a shorter textured piece in teal that I trimmed down. Using the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform, I stamped some cute little lambs and accessories from Mama Elephant's "Wooly Winter" using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them with Copic Ciao markers. Next I cut my images using a Scan N Cut to save time. 

After adhering my yellow and teal panels together, I stamped 'Happy Holidays' from Lawn Fawn's "Happy Happy Happy" set in Brilliance Graphite Black ink. These are such versatile stamps and can be used for many occasions. I adhered my front panels to my card base using Tombow's Multi Mono Liquid Glue and started adding my scene. I used the banner string die from Lawn Fawn's "Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up" die set to hang the super cute little sweaters on. Then I arranged the yarn balls into a tree and popped it up with some X-Press It foam tape, along with the little lambs. The sweaters and presents were adhered using Tombow's Multi Mono Liquid Glue.

I really enjoyed making this card. It is simple and yet so adorable for any yarn fans. Maybe those little lambs have been making their own wool for the sweaters?

Hi everyone,

This month's theme is Christmas at Auzz Trinklets N Crafts and I have a BEARY cute card to show you all. 🐻🎄

~My Process~

First I cut my card base at 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, and folded it in half. Then I cut my card front (kraft cardstock) using My Favorite Things "A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1" ( 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" ).

I stamped the 'Merry Christmas' sentiment using Mama Elephant's "Bella Letters" with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks "Candied Apple" and "Lucky Clover" with the Tim Holtz stamp platform. I did one colour at a time and carefully removed the ink from either side of the stamp to achieve the 'two-tone multicoloured look'
I then cut out the sentiment with My Favorite Things "Stitched Fishtail Flags STAX" ( 5/8" x 4 1/2" ) die using the Sizzix Big Shot but altered the length.

I stamped the tree, star and tree trunk from My Favorite Things "Oh Christmas Trees" with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks "Fossilized Amber", "Lucky Clover" and "Walnut Stain". The hats, bears and presents were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink so I could use my Copic Ciao markers to colour the images in. The bears are from Heffy Doodle's "Beary Big Heart" and the hats and presents are from Lawn Fawn's "Holiday Party Animal". I coloured the images in and cut them all out, the pink bear image is originally hugging a love heart, but I cut around the bear as I only wanted to use the bear in this project.

I adhered the card front, sentiment and images with Tombow's Permanent Adhesive Tape Runner.

I added some Wink of Stella to the white on the christmas hats, ribbons on the presents and the star. I originally had nothing on the tree, but it looked unfinished so I added Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops "White Blizzard" to represent baubles and I used a Wink of Stella fine tip pen to 'join' the baubles together to look like sparkly tinsel. I also added some Sakura black glaze pen for the bears noses.

DT Teresa - Christmas

Hello Everyone!

December is here and you guessed it! Yes, we are sharing projects to celebrate the Christmas season.

I am not organised enough to have Christmas cards well underway, so I usually choose one or two (or a few!) designs and create them production-line style. I keep mostly to a simple design to speed up the process and it is a simple card design I have for you today.

This card uses Neenah Classic Crest 110# Smooth Solar White Cardstock for the base which is cut with a paper trimmer at 4 1/4" x 11" and scored with a teflon bone folder at 5 1/2" to make a top folding card of 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

I used the WPlus9 Holiday Trimmings stamp set and coordinating dies and each christmas tree was stamped with three Altenew inks. To create an ombre affect I inked up the stamp with the lightest tone and then covered the bottom of the image with a medium tone, then added the dark tone to the base of the image before stamping. 

The decorative element of the tree was stamped in Versamark ink and embossed with Hero Arts silver embossing powder after swiping the cardstock with EK Tools Powder Tool to prep the surface. The sentiment was also stamped in Versamark ink and embossed with Ranger Embossing Powder, White was then diecut with the coordinating die with a Sizzix Sidekick Machine. I adhered the sentiment with foam tape to complete the card.

Thankyou for following along with me today. If you cannot find the items I have used (listed below) in the Auzz Trinklets and Crafts store, be sure to drop Neha a message via email or Facebook and she will do what she can to order the product in for you.

Happy crafting and have a great day!

Teresa
