Holly Berries Christmas Tree

Hello bloggers I hope you had a good day yesterday.  Today's card is a Christmas card.

This card began as an A4 sheet of white card stock that I cut and scored to make a 5" square card blank.  Next I added a green polka dot paper from English tea party collection paper pack to the front of the card.  The holly and berries were stamped using black soot distress ink and Stamping With Dimension 'Christmas trees' Stamp Set onto white card stock.  Once stamped I used pine needles and festive berries distress inks and a water brush to colour in the leaves and berries.  I then used a green pencil to colour the stem.  The Christmas tree was stamped using iced spruced distress and the same stamp set as above.

The sentiment was stamped onto white card stock using the same stamp set as above and festive berries distress ink.  It was then die cut with Spellbinders die d-lites 'frame two' die set.  Once cut I inked through the die.  I then removed the die and cut of the outer edge of the frame.  The sentiment was then adhered to the card.  Finally the completed topper was added to the card blank.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas ~ Holly Wreath and Snowflakes ~ Decoupage

Hello bloggers today's card is back to the Christmas theme with this sweet little wreath card.

This card began as an off cut of Centura snow white card stock that I cut and scored to make a 4x3 3/4 card blank.  Next using off cuts of three different card stocks and Spellbinders Die D-lites 'holly wreath' die set I die cut three wreaths.  Whilst still in the die I inked through with tumbled glass distress ink.  Next I adhered the wreaths one at a time to the card blank, twisting them slightly so that you can see a little bit of all of them.  Once layered up I used an off cut of the snow white card stock and die cut the bow using the same die set as above.  The bow was adhered to the bottom of the wreath.

The sentiment was stamped onto the same light blue card stock as I used for the wreath using Stamping with dimension Christmas trees stamp set and staz-on black ink.  Once stamped I cut the sentiment down to size and used a corner rounder on the corners.  The sentiment was adhered to the bottom of the card.  Finally using an off cut of snow white card stock and a small snowflake punch to punch out several snowflakes.  Once punched out these were randomly adhered around the card.
