Christmas Cards!
Hello Friends!
As you already know Itsy Bitsy is having a contest with a Christmas theme! So I am showcasing some cards to inspire you all!
You all know Itsy Bitsy has a great collection of Christmas clear stamp sets and I picked two from the Christmas collections.
Let's start with the first project.
Card 1
I stamped the Santa Claus and gift images on a white ultra smooth CS, watercolored them with ZIG brushes and fussy cut. Embossed a paper using stars EF and stamped the sentiment on a white sheet as shown in the pic.
I inked some of the embossed background parts at the bottom using Distress Ink.
Here is the final layout of the card. Before adhering to all the images I added a strip of pink glittered sheet.
Card 2
I embossed a white sheet using Dot frame EF. Die cut a stitched oval shape and one of the scroll banners, Stapmed the cute penguin image, and x-mas tree with lights, watercolored them with my ZIG water brushes, and fussy cut them. Added the sentiment using red DI on the die-cut banner.
Now matted it on a red CS as shown in the below pic.
Card 3
I embossed a one-third panel of a white sheet using dots EF. Hand cut an arch shape as shown in the below pic. Stamped the cute snowman image and watercolored it, fussy cut it.
I dragged the distress ink cube on a white panel to ink it properly as shown in the below pic.
Stamped some snowflakes and heat embossed them with Wow Opaque Bright White EP. Now place that embossed panel on that inked panel. Added the sentiment with a snowman image.
Card 4
I inked a white CS panel using DI. Added some white splatters for snowfall. Stamped the hanging lights and watercolored them. I roughly tore some white CS for the snowflake landscape and added two layers.
Now watercolored the snowman, Santa and a house using ZIG watercolor brushes, and fussy cut them all. Stamped the sentiment. Added all the images as shown in the below pic.
I hope you like and are inspired by all the sample cards, they are so festive and
perfect to celebrate Christmas.
Happy crafting!
