Quick Last Minute Christmas Cards
Can you believe Christmas is only a few days away?! I think I have everything ready, but I needed a couple more Christmas cards. I have a couple of those for you today using Kat Scrappiness dies, stamps, and embellishments.

My first card uses the Merry Christmas with shadow die cut from purple glitter paper and teal paper to match the snowflake paper from the Sugar Plum Fairies slimline paper. I popped up the sentiment on the card using dimensional adhesive. I added a plum pearl to dot the “i” in Christmas and added the 4mm sparkling clear sequins in the center of the snowflakes.

My second uses the Christmas Wishes with shadow die cut from kraft and red card stock. I paired the sentiment with a piece of the Ugly Sweater slimline paper. I used both sides of one sheet of paper from this paper pad. I die cut an Elegant Border die from red card stock and adhered it to the seam of of the two pieces of patterned paper. To finish off the card, I added a couple of Spring Leave pearls to dot the “i”s in the sentiment.

Merry Christmas Slimline Cards

Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. Today I am sharing two cards using the Fancy Scalloped Slimline Dies with the Stitched & Layered Snowman dies. One is using a DIY Background and the other using the new A Cozy Christmas Patterned Paper. Below are the steps to create your own cards.

Card #1

Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2” x 7”, score at 3 1/2” and fold in half for a horizontal side fold card (Slimline)

Step 2 – Diecut Fancy Scalloped Nesting Slimline using White Cardstock. Adhere to card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 3 – Trim White Cardstock to 3 1/2” x 8 1/2”. Apply Distress Oxide Ink using a Blender Blush. Starting from the bottom going up apply Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, Dusty Concord and Black Soot. Mix Perfect Pearls Perfect Gold with a little water and spatter the background using a Paintbrush. Let dry. Diecut Never Ending Slimline using the background created. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 4 – Diecut Stitched & Layered Snowman using White Cardstock for the body and eye and coloured Cardstock for the accessories. Assemble and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 5 – Diecut Merry Christmas With Shadow (only word Merry) using Gold Metallic Cardstock. I cut several of the letters to be able to place it on my card front. Adhere with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 6 – Stamp sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink using White Cardstock. Trim the sentiment and adhere over the word Merry using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 7 – For added interest and sparkle randomly adhere Fall Blessings Sequins Mix using an Embellishment Pick Up Tool and Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Card #2

Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2” x 7”, score at 3 1/2” and fold in half for a horizontal side fold card (Slimline)

Step 2 – Diecut Fancy Scalloped Nesting Slimline using A Cozy Christmas Paper Pad. (I used 2 designs and trimmed one diagonally.) Adhere to card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Trim Red Glitter Cardstock into 1/8” strip and adhere between the 2 patterned paper.

Step 3 – Diecut Stitched & Layered Snowman using various colours of Cardstock. Assemble and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Both of these cards were pretty quick to put together but I wanted to show you the difference using the patterned paper and a Do It Yourself Background. Below you will find the link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

ADAM KARLE

I love the simplicity of this card by Adam. He used the Zigzag Nesting Slimline die and die-cut the card stock in different colors to create his design. He added the Brush Script “hello” and black enamel dots to finish his design. Simple and elegant!

CAREN BARTHOLOMEW

Two amazing cards by Caren. First card is with the Zig-Zag Nesting Slimline die and the Wok-On stamp set. Second card below uses the Cross-Stitched Slimline Nesting dies and the Merry Christmas with Shadow dies.

YT DT MEMBER – JO THOMPSON

This fall scene by Jo is just AMAZING! She also has a process video for us today on how she created this card.

KATHY SCHWEINFURTH

I love this shaker card by Kathy. She used the Cross-Stitched Nesting Slimline dies to create the frame on her shaker card using a mix of the new sprinkles, and added the Santa from the Christmas Gnomes stamp set and Merry Christmas with Shadow.

The second card below was shared on the blog earlier this week, showcasing the Thanksgiving Gnomes stamp set and Zig-zag Nesting Slimline dies.

LISA GOLZBEIN

A crafty card by Lisa, showcasing the Zig-Zag Nesting Slimline die, Distressed Edge Nesting Slimline dies and the Crafter’s Gonna Craft stamp set. Perfect card for a crafty friend!

MARIA RUSSELL

My first card was created by die-cutting the Cross-Stitched Slimline panel on white card stock. I used the Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set and stamped the image a few times in rainbow order. Finishing the design by adding the “you” from the Thank You with Shadow die and Sparkling Clear Droplets sampler pack for added texture.

I used the Zig-Zag Nesting Slimline die as well as the Zig-zag rectangle dies to adorn the background for my Thanksgiving Gnomes. The berries came from the Happy Fall Y’all stamp set. I wanted to use a funny sentiment (available at the shop) from Riley & Co. called Vegetarian Cling Stamp that I thought went perfectly with this scene. It makes me laugh!

Martha shared her blog post yesterday on how she created this card, using the Zig-zag Nesting Slimline die and the Owl Envelope Art stamp set.
