Naughty Kitty Christmas card

Today I am sharing a fun Naughty Kittwn Christmas card that was made with Newtons Nook supplies. Meowy Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad and the adorable stamp set Kitten Christmas made this cute card come together very quickly. 

I think that the little kitten with the lights is so cute. And the one playing with the ornament- well I have definitely seen my own cats do that. We often even tied our tree to anchor it so that it didn’t come crashing down while the cats would play in it. 

Aren’t those papers so great?! The tiny little gifts on the left side of the ribbon were cut out of the page of presents.

Merriest Christmas Layout

I had some time today to enjoy some crafting me time. After inking up page after page of the amazing Pink Fresh Poinsettia stamp stencil washi tape set I knew they were perfect for a cute layout. 

Yes this layout is one that should have been created a few years ago. Those lovely little ladies will soon be getting their learners license but it sure was fun seeing them as littles once again. 

The ink stenciling was so much fun. I used a combination of Pink Fresh inks and Distress Inks to get the dark combo and I was very happy with how it turned out. I added a few extra leaf branches from an older Pink Fresh set called Christmas Florals. 

I also added some paper and cut outs from the Oh What Fun Paper pack and the Holiday sentiments which I heat embossed and cut with the coordinating die. When I was happy with it and had it adhered down I splattered some gold metallic water color. 

So that was my fun for the day. I can’t believe that another Christmas will soon be here. I guess I will have more photos to turn into fun layouts.

Merry Christmas Stamped All Around Card

I enjoyed some fun crafting time today and decided to spend it making some Christmas cards. 

I started this card off by stamping the spruce greenery all around the edge of the card. Staying with the traditional red green and gold once again I heat embossed both the sentiment and the poinsettia floral in gold. 

Today’s card was simple leaving white space. I really like how it turned out.

Noel Christmas Card

I am sure that there are lots of people who are almost finished creating their handmade Christmas cards - I am not one of those people. In fact I have probably only got half a dozen of them done so far. So when I saw the challenge on The Flower Challenge blog I figured that a Christmas card was a great way to go. 

First I used a Rare Earth pine branch to create my background around the top. Then I used the small floral Christmas flowers that I heat embossed in gold and coloured in with ink. I created the candle in the same way. The sentiment is gold heat embossed. The shape element on my card is the scalloped rectangle cut from the metallic red paper. 

I really do like creating with the traditional Christmas color pallet of red green and gold.

You Are Loved

I have been so busy at work lately that I haven’t taken the time when I get home to do any blogging of my card or layout creations all I do is create. So I guess tonight I am trying to get caught up on documentation of my creativity. 

My last card is another card with lots of layered stencils being used. 

Both the background and the floral daisy wreath were components that I created this summer at the cabin. I took my PinkFresh inks and stencils with some paper and brushes and it was a fun and relaxing way to relax after a long day at the beach - oh take me back to those wonderful and warm days!! 

Dimension and gems were used for those finishing touches.

- the shape I incorporated was that lovely heart. 

I am so happy with how this card turned out - I see more of these similar in design in my future craft adventures. I definitely can’t get enough of the amazing Pink Fresh Studio stencils. 

Merry Christmas Ornaments

I am sure that this will be a first of many Christmas cards that I create for this holiday season. My goal this year is to make Christmas cards for our town’s Nursing Home. Our family was very blessed by the facility and all its many amazing staff while our grandmother was a resident there for 12 years - until her passing at 105 years old! 

This Christmas stencil and die set will be well used in my Christmas card making I am sure. 

I used the chevron die for the background of this card. And of course - don’t forget the foam tape for dimension. And no card is quite finished without a touch of bling - gems to the rescue!

Peace & Joy Simple Christmas card

Having fun playing with my new tree layered stencils saw me create a simple (but lovely) Christmas card. 

I also love these amazing sentiments. 1 piece stamp and die that create multiple sentiments is such a game changer. I like this glitter red for this sentiment.
