Welcome a Bears Christmas!

November 24, 2023

Hi everyone, Katie here with todays inspirational post! I wanted to share a cute card I made using Oli the Bear from Joset’s new Collection “The Great Outdoors”. I have so many ideas for this sweet little bear so I started with a Christmas Card. So grab a coffee and lets begin.

Step 1: Using your favorite cardstock cut out your bear bits (I used two shades of brown) then ink your edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Step 2: Stamp your word image, I used “Wishing you a Beary Merry Christmas” from the Bear, Moose, Beaver stamp set.

Step 3: Out of your favorite cardstock cut out your pinecone, evergreen boughs and red berries, ink and assemble.

I am so in love with this new die set, the detail as you can see above is amazing.

Step 4: Cut the base for your card, I used 110lb cardstock in kraft, Next, I cut a back ground paper from a blue plaid designer paper and ran it through a 3D embossing folder. (hard to see the image, but its pine boughs). Then I took another designer paper and cut out a oval mat for my card.

Step 5: Start assembling your card by adding your designer paper and oval to your card base. Next, add your pine boughs and pine cones, I used pop-dots for the Oli and the “Beary Merry Christmas” . I added red berries.

Step 6: I added glossy accents to Oli’s Nose and berries.

Step 7: I added Bear Paw Prints to the inside of the card. Final step I speckled the pinecones and pine boughs.

I hope you enjoyed todays inspiration, see my Facebook page @Katie Porcina to see other Christmas Card inspirations. Take Care and Happy Creating.

Sweater Season card

November 13, 2023

Hello crafty friends, it’s Summer Hills-Painter here. For today’s blog post, I made another Christmas card in anticipation of the upcoming holiday.

Preparation: 

Cut and assemble the Sweater Season die set. I used the new Holly Jolly Christmas paper pack and cut the third largest stitched rectangle from green patterned cardstock. Cut the second largest rectangle from the Indented Stitched Rectangles die from red cardstock. Cut, score, and fold an A2 card base.

Instructions

Use the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Holiday Treats stamp set, stamp onto the rectangle patterned cardstock. For mine, I inked the edges with Bundled Sage and Frayed Burlap distress ink.

Layer the rectangle onto the indented rectangle piece and adhere to the card base. For mine, I inked the edges of the red cardstock layer and card base with Frayed Burlap Distress ink.

I then adhered the sweater die cut to the card using foam adhesive to complete the card.

A Mug Full of Warm Christmas Magic!

November 8, 2022

Hello all, Katie here thank you for joining me with todays blog post! I always love winter for hot chocolate, coffee or some yummy beverage to keep myself warm as we are getting very cold here in Alberta, Canada! So grab a cup of hot coffee and lets get started!

Step 1: Start with cutting out your images form Jack Frost and Warm Winter Mug from your favorite Cardstock. Next I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink (Oops I just noticed my holly was flipped upside down for the picture) and assemble your pieces.

Step 2: Out of the new Nested Tags Set cut out two of the largest tags, I used my scoring tool and created a crease at the top, this will create the fold to make this into a card base. Next, I used a 3D embossing folder to create a pattern on my tag, then I lightly inked it with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.

Step 3: Assemble your card as per the picture above, I pop dotted the mug on top of the snowman.

Step 4: After I have assembled my card front I attached the back of the card to the card front and folded slightly at the score line.

Step 5: My favorite part is speckling the card front with Heavy White paint.

Thank you for joining me today, I hope my post brought you some inspiration!

Happy crafting all and stay warm! till next time >Katie<

Sparkling Christmas Card

October 24, 2022

Hi Everyone, Katie here thank you for joining me with todays blog post! I am super excited to show you this amazing new stocking die from Joset’s new Christmas Collection, and of course I am using a ton of glitter. So grab a cup of coffee or tea and lets get started!

Step 1: Cut your stocking from your favorite card stock, next selected a 3D embossing folder and run it through your machine to give it some dimension. Next, I took my Vintage Photo Distress Ink and lightly inked the 3D pattern.

Step 2: Next apply your 2-way adhesive onto your strip of white cardstock and cut your stocking trims. I then peeled back the adhesive backing and add your choice of glitter. I used green for this sample but on my card I used Cool White Microfine glitter. (There are so many beautiful glitter choices)

Step 3: After you have assembled your stocking, cut your card front bases.

Cut your white base 4 1/4 “x 5 3/4 “and stamp your sentiment on the bottom from Joset’s new Holiday sentiments, I used “Christmas Magic”. Cut your green mat 4 1/2″ x 6″ , red mat 4 3/4″ x 6 1/4″ and your card base 6 1/2″ x 10″ scored @ 5″ 1/2″. Assemble your card as per the picture.

Step 4: With the same process by applying adhesive to card stock I cut out some holly leaves and berries from Winter Greens and applied glitter.

I pop dotted my stocking to the front of the card, added my glitter holly, added gems and speckled with white acrylic paint.

And we are done, I hope you enjoyed todays block post! I look forward to my next months post using Joset’s new Character Mrs. Clause creating a super cute baking Planner Essential page.

Take Care all and Happy Crafting >Katie<

Pop-up Shaker Snowman Card!

August 8, 2022

Hi friends, thank you for joining me today with this super cute pop-up shaker card. Its so hard to capture all the glitter on this card with a photograph so I am hoping you make your own so you can see how amazing this glitter that Els uses all the time really is. So lets get started!

Step 1: Attach a piece of your adhesive sheet to your heavy weight cardstock (Keep the backing onto your adhesive sheet as this is where you will add your glitter) cut your card front to 4 3/4 x 5 1/4, next with your adhesive side facing up , take your large snowflake die from the Art Journal Christmas Special and cut out the snowflake from the center of your page.

Step 2: Peel off the adhesive backing so your front card base is sticky and add your glitter, you will be surprised how little it takes to cover your page. Tap off the extra glitter, then attach a piece of acetate to the back of your front base covering your snowflake.

Step 3: Next, add some foam tape to all four sides of the back of my snowflake page closing the gaps so none of my shaker bits come out, I removed three side of my foam tape and placed it on top my card base that measures 5 x 5 1/2, next I filled my shaker bits through the space where the adhesive is still attached to the foam tape, once I have enough bits I removed the backing and sealed my shaker card. (Please see picture above)

Step 4: Cutting the base of the card, Take a heavy white cardstock and cut your card base 5 1/2 x 11 and score along the 11″ side at 5 1/2 and 2 3/4 and fold up your score lines as per picture above.

Step 5: Next attach your snowflake shaker to the bottom part of your folded card, this creates an easel style card.

Step 6: Out of your favorite cardstock cut out Jack frost from Joset’s collection, once you have assembled and inked your snowman, speckle with heavy body white paint.

Step 7: Attached your snowman using pop dot to the top of the card base, I also added a few jewels.

Step 8: I added a greeting from Classic Christmas Sentiments #CS101 and I cut out a few snowflakes from the Classic Christmas Collection kit and glittered my snowflakes. Next I pop dotted my greeting this creates a lip for your easel card.

I hope you enjoyed todays blog post and I am hoping you will join in and create a special glitter Christmas Card!

Have a wonderful day and Happy Crafting!
