Christmas in July - Light Up Card

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today with Gerda Steiner Design to create a Christmas card!

Yes, I know it’s July but I wanted to get a head start and the shop has so many good Christmas sets. Using mainly Gerda Steiner Designs’ Reindeer and a Tree, I created a one layer scene card of reindeers decorating a Christmas tree. 

I added the box of ornaments from Tangled Penguin and the sentiment came from Holiday Snail. Once my scene was stamped and masked, I used distress inks to color up the background. 

I'm using an EZ Light to help up three parts of the card: Rudolph’s red nose, an ornament, and the star that goes on top of the tree. I used vellum and colored the pieces using copic markers so the lights would project different colors. 

How fun is this card?! Isn't it perfect for Christmas? 

 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get inspired to create. Come back again soon for more inspiration and ideas! Happy Crafting! 

So Much Snail Cuteness!

Happy Friday everyone! Cathy here sharing a card today featuring the adorable new Holiday Snail stamp set! This snail is just the cutest ever and these stamps are PERFECT for all of you out there who get behind on Christmas cards and mail yours after New Year's. You know who you are... 

 All of the sentiments in this set are separate so you can leave the belated off and deliver on time too!

First, I stamped the snail and masked the image before inking the background with Spun Sugar distress ink. I then inked a holiday sweater stencil with Worn Lipstick distress ink.

Before I colored the snail, I stamped each sentiment in Peacock Feathers distress ink and again in Versamark ink and heat embossed each with clear embossing powder for a little shine. I like to do this step first before coloring an image just in case I make a mess with the embossing powder or stamp a sentiment crooked, etc.

I added a few die-cut snowflakes that I heat embossed with pink sherbet Wow! embossing powder for some extra sparkle and shine.

Hope you have a fabulous crafty weekend! See you again soon!
