Card ~ Day 3 My Creative Time 5 Days of Christmas 2019

Hello, and welcome to our "5" Days of Christmas"! This week we will be sharing with you LOTS of last-minute Christmas ideas, such as cards, tags, treat holders, gift card holders and whatever else comes to mind that will help YOU get your creative juices flowing.

Today is Day 3 of our 5 Days of Christmas! We all will be showcasing some quick and EASY holiday cards!

Sentiment: Warm wishes for a Merry Christmas.

This card was easier to do than it looks. I used a kraft color top fold card base and then die-cut the lace border onto the front flap. Then, I added a die-cut white insert onto the inside of the card. Patterned paper trimming was added to the top along with a bow strip. The sentiment was heat embossed onto the front. No coloring was needed. The flip-up front looks and feels nice with the lace. I like how it turned out.

Favor ~ Day 2 My Creative Time 5 Days of Christmas 2019

Hello, and welcome to our "5" Days of Christmas"! This week we will be sharing with you LOTS of last-minute Christmas ideas, such as cards, tags, treat holders, gift card holders and whatever else comes to mind that will help YOU get your creative juices flowing.

Today is Day 2 of our 5 Days of Christmas! We all will be showcasing some quick and EASY treat holders!

Sentiment: Wishing you a cozy holiday! This sweet favor box was made using the jar treat dies. I simply die-cut the pieces using patterned paper and silver cardstock. Then, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment. The box was assembled with extra tacky score tape. Lately, I have been making natural-toned holiday projects and using gift wrap in kraft and white colors. There is just something about the cozy look of it that I love.

Christmas magic forest winter card with Copic markers.

Here is a winter card scene with a light wood tree trunks and snow slopes.  This is a sweet background for a Christmas sentiment.

Sentiment:  A little Christmas magic makes everything better.

For this card, I began by stamping  the trees twice, alternating placement.  Also, I stamped and die-cut the sentiment.  Next, I added color using Copic markers in light shades.  Then, I trimmed and place pre-cut snow slopes to mimic trees in the distance and in the foreground.  The background frame was also pre-cut.  Finally, everything was assembled to finish.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.

For this card, I began by stamping and heat embossing in white onto watercolor paper and then die-cutting.  Also, I stamped and die-cut the sentiment.  Next, I added watercolor with Color Burst powders, using the emboss resist technique.  Then, I heat set each color layer.  Finally, everything was assembled to finish.
