Hello crafty friends! I have a Christmas card to share with you all, using new products from Pretty Pink Posh. For this card, I used the   Poinsettia Corners Stamp Set ,   Christmas Candles Stamp Set , and   Holiday Scripts Stamp Set .  Let's start! I first cut a white panel using the   Stitched Notes Die   and ink blended Old Paper Distress Oxide Ink through the   Wide Stripes Stencil   (horizontally and vertically to create a gingham pattern). I then cut a sheet of vellum using the Stitched Notes Die so that I can use it to mute the color of the background. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the images from the   Poinsettia Corners Stamp Set   and the small candle from the   Christmas Candles Stamp Set . I used the following Copic markers : E42/41/40,  G47/43/40, R39/37/35, T5/3/1, Y28/26. I adhered the poinsettias directly on the vellum. Next, I turned the  vellum  over and added glue behind the flowers and adhered...

Hello friends! Today I am sharing a circle Christmas card. For this card, I used a previously released stamp set called  Winter Wreath  Stamp Set and the new  Winter Candle  die.  To begin, I cut a 4.5" circle in white cardstock and ink blended it with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink.

I then colored the candle with Copic Sketch markers - E42/41/40, G46/43/40, RV25/23, T5/3/1, Y18/13.

 Hello crafty friends! Today, I have a super simple yet beautiful Christmas card to share, featuring products from Scrapbook.com. In case you prefer to watch a short video on this card, here is the YouTube link . I would also love it you like and subscribe ;)  Using the Wide Blender Tool , I made a gingham pattern on white cardstock using Pops of Color in Rudolph Red and Glitter Gold .
