Snowman Holiday Card

November 29, 2019

1 Comments

Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. Today’s card is using some older but super fun dies to create a holiday scene. Below you will find the steps to create your own Holiday Card.

Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (A2)

Step 2 – Trim Light Blue Cardstock 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ (if you don’t have coloured cardstock then use White and Ink in colour of your choice). Use a snow stencil to create a snowy background using texture paste. Before it drys sprinkle some glitter. If you don’t have a stencil you can add white paint by splashing it on with a paintbrush. When completely dry adhere to card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 3 – Diecut Stitched Scalloped Border dies using White Cardstock. I diecut twice and changed the position on the second diecut. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 4 – Diecut Stitched and Layered Snowman. I used White Cardstock for base, Red and Black for the hat, Black for the eyes, Brown for the arms, orange for the nose and a DIY Plaid for the scarf. Assemble using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive and adhere to card using Foam Tape. For the button I used 2 Red Jewels and adhered it using Collage Medium and a Crystal Katana.

Step 5 – Diecut Stitched and Layered Christmas Tree. I used Green Cardstock for the tree, Glitter cardstock in various colours for the ornaments and bows, and Brown Cardstock for the tree stump. Assemble and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 6 – Diecut Merry from the Merry Christmas With Shadow dieset using Glitter Cardstock and an additional 2 diecuts using White Cardstock. Assemble all layers with the Glitter Cardstock on top and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 7 – Optional – Stamp Christmas using Versafine Onyx Black Ink on White Cardstock. Trim and adhere to card over the word Merry using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

You can change the card to add a second snowman or change the colours when mass producing.

Personalizing Birthday Cards with Alpha and Number Dies | Giveaway!

November 28, 2019

Priscilla Joseph

2 Comments

Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I thought I’d take a break from Holiday cards to show you two cards I made for recents birthdays for friends and family members. What’s unique about them is that they are personalized to the recipients using alphabet dies to spell out their names, and in my first case, adding numeric dies to give a “shout out” to the BIG 4-0 birthday year the recipient was celebrating . Both dies set are from Kat Scrappiness. And stay tuned. At the end of this blog post, you can find out how to win a set of Kat’s “Condensed Number” dies on my accompanying post on “Nubble Light Designs.”

Let’s get started!

For my first card, I used the Kat Scrappiness “Condensed Lowercase Alphabet Dies” and the “Condensed Number Dies.”

Working with alpha and number dies can be tricky in terms of aligning them on your card front perfectly straight. “Purple Tape” to the rescue!

I spelled out the recipient’s name and birthday year on black card stock using the ruler that came with my glass craft mat and then quickly taped them together and down onto the card stock using iCraft’s 1/2 inch “Purple Tape.” What a lifesaver this tape is for doing tasks such as this!

Then I ran the card front, purple tape and all, through my Big Shot machine. I “puzzle-pieced” the letters and numbers I die cut out right back into their respective openings on the card front, as I was going for a 3-D look with the buffalo check patterned paper pictured below becoming the top layer of all of them.

Because the Purple Tape is removable, I was able to pick up the dies, still strung together, and place them on the buffalo check patterned paper next.

After all the letters and numbers were layered and inserted back in the card front, I moved on to the the final embellishments on the card. I used a rose stem die from my stash and the “Happy” from the Kat Scrappiness “Happy Birthday Brush Script Word and Sentiment Die”, cut out of gold metallic card stock. Kat‘s “Sparkling Clear Droplets”added some “dew” to my rose petals.

My second card features a beautiful patterned paper behind the alpha die cuts.

I followed the same procedure to align the letters to the front of the card.

Then I simply adhered the floral patterned paper behind the wood-grain top layer and then adhered both layers to a red card base.

To finish, I white heat-embossed the “Happy Birthday” sentiment and added some of Kat’s “Red Flower Sprinkles” to the card.

GIVEWAY TIME!!!!!

I am giving away a set of the Kat’s “Condensed Number” dies on my “Nubble Light Designs” blog. To enter the giveaway, simply:

Christmas Stocking

November 24, 2019

Hi crafters, is everyone ready for Thanksgiving this week? I’m just having a small get together with my family.

For today, I have a card using the Build a Stocking die set. This is such a fun and versatile die set.

I started by die cutting the pieces of the stocking – red card stock for the stocking, chevron pattern paper for the body of the stocking, blue glitter card stock for the opening of the stocking, and white glitter paper for the snowflake. After putting the stocking together, I added sequins from the Retro Christmas sequin mix to the stocking. I added glitter on the edges by using a glue pen and loose glitter.

I used the largest Cross Stitched Rectangle die to cut out a rectangle from white card stock. I used a snowflake stencil and mermaid lagoon distress ink to create the inked background. I used more ink at the top of the card then gradually faded the ink toward the bottom.

I stamped Merry Christmas from the Merry Critters stamp set on the inked panel, adhered it to my card base, and attached my stocking using foam adhesive.

Ornament Gate Fold Card

November 23, 2019

Adam Karle

Hey crafters, are you ready to start making Christmas cards? I have a beautiful yet simple card to share today. This is perfect for assembly line card creating. It just requires the Kat Scrappiness Ornament Strip Cover Plate Die and a Christmas sentiment.

I started by die cutting only the ornament portion of the die out of gold glitter paper. Need two per card so cut as many as you will need. Next cut two red rectangles equal to the size of a card front. Adhere the ornament die cuts to the red paper.

Using white card stock cut 5 1/2 “ x 8 1/2” piece. Score and fold at 2 1/8” and 6 3/8”. This creates the gate fold card base. The decorated panels are adhered to the front two folds.

Next the belly band is created by cutting a strip of red card stock 1/2” x 9”. The sentiment is embossed in gold (Brutus Monroe gilded Embossing Powder) in the center. Fold the strip to fit around the card and glue the band ends together.

I added a pearl to each side of the sentiment band and my card was complete. Now repeat all steps as many times as cards you want to make. What a quick and pretty card to send out this holiday season.

Ornament Strip and Happy Hanukkah Dies

November 20, 2019

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with you! Christmas dies are always a good tool to create a lot of cards easily and quick. Today I have two Christmas Dies from Kat Scrappiness to share with you.

To create my first card I used a Night of Navy card stock for the base and I created the second layer using the Ornate Strip Cover Plate and Adhesive Glitter Sheets from Tim Holtz. These glitter sheets are wonderful and very soft. They are like a film of glitter and the adhesive works great.

To finalize my card, I stamped one of the sentiments included on the stamp set Merry Critters from Kat Scrappiness that I stamped with Memento Paris Dusk.

If you want to see the more inspiration with the Ornament Strip Cover Plate, just click HERE.

My next card is a Hanukkah card created with the new Hanukkah Shadow Word from Kat Scrappines. The font of this die is simply amazing and you can separate it to combine with another sentiments. The base of my card is whisper white and the second layer is metallic silver. I used this layer as mat for the decorated layer. It is velvet paper totally amazing that I got in a Craft Store.

I cut several times the Happy Hanukkah Shadow Die using Metallic Silver and stocked all with liquid glue to create a great dimension. After that I pasted the bold word over the right lower side.

Here you can see another inspiration with the Happy Hanukkah Shadow Die.
