Christmas Ornaments

candicardscreations

Candice with you today sharing a quick and fun ornament you could make with your children for Christmas! One of our family traditions is to make a yearly ornament so that by the time my kids get their own tree they will have ornaments with memories to go on their tree!

I used these Reverse Confetti products for my ornaments:

I die cut 3 of the green dots, 3 of the striped, and 6 of the shimmer white cardstocks from the inside drop cover, scored them down the center and adhered all of them together except closing it together using strong double-sided tape.

To assemble the ornaments, I trimmed pieces of gold twine, tied a knot on the bottoms, and closed the ornaments together with the twine in the center. To add a bit more sparkle, I glued some gold domes on the white inside pieces.

You can make these with all that Christmas pattern paper you have and you can also add extra layers to make it thicker if you would like to!

Thank you for visiting today!

Merry and Bright Penguins!

candicardscreations

I can’t resist these cute little Christmas penguins from Paperie Ink stamps for a merry and bright mini slimline card!

I used these products for my mini slimline design:

I began my mini slimline with a 6 1/2 x 4 card base.

For the background, I trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth a little smaller than my card front, inked it with worn lipstick and spun sugar, and splattered with white paint and gold shimmer spray. While that dried, I inked some scraps of Bristol Smooth with rustic wilderness, mowed lawn, and bundled sage and cut out with pine boughs.

I then stamped another piece of Bristol Smooth with the small polka dot BG stamp with black ink and cut out with the ‘Merry and Bright’ and then 3 more from thick black cardstock. I then layered the black pieces and then offset the polka dot one on the top.

Next, I stamped the penguins, colored them with copic markers, and fussy cut them out. To put the card together, I arranged the pine boughs behind the ‘Merry and Bright’ and used foam tape to place the penguins around the large sentiment. I finished with a sentiment heat embossed in white on a small banner and sprinkled some red jewels around!

Peace & Joy

candicardscreations

Hello again! Candice with you today sharing a great way to combine your word dies to create a great focal point sentiment on your card!

I used these Reverse Confetti products to create my slimline design:

I began my slimline with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base.

For my background, I trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth a little smaller than my card front, inked it with broken china, tumbled glass, mowed lawn and bundled sage, and splattered with white paint and gold shimmer spray using a damp paintbrush.

While that dried, I die cut the PEACE from a piece of Bristol Smooth inked with the broken china and tumbled glass, and the JOY from another piece inked with the mowed lawn and bundled sage and layered the 2. I then used my Cameo Silhouette to cut out the & from some pattern paper.

Next, I stamped Mary, Joseph, and Jesus and the doves colored them with copic markers, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I then heat embossed the stars in gold and cut out with the matching dies and heat embossed the sentiment on a small banner. To put the card together, I first arranged my word die sentiment and placed the sentiment banner along the bottom of the JOY. The images I placed around the words to draw your eye in and finished with some gold domes!

I hope you try to use your word dies to create a great focal point on your next card!

Thank you for stopping by today!

These little adorable Woodland Ornaments from Paperie Ink are perfect to hang anywhere on your cards!

I used these products to create my slimline design:

I began my slimline with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base.

For the background, I first trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth a little smaller than my card front, inked it with worn lipstick and spun sugar, and splattered it with some white paint. While that dried, I then inked some more pieces of Bristol Smooth with rustic wilderness, mowed lawn, and bundled sage, and cut the out with the pine boughs.

I then created the JOY by heat embossing the plaid in red on a sheet of Bristol Smooth and then cut it out using my Cameo Silhouette.

Hello! It’s Candice with you today sharing a sweet winter mini slimline design using your word dies in a different but beautiful way!

I used these Reverse Confetti products for my mini slimline design:

I began my mini slimline with a 6 1/2 x 4 card base.

For the background, I trimmed a piece of grey cardstock a little smaller than my card front, die cut the shadow PEACE 3 times, leaving space for my stamped sentiment. I then die cut three of the PEACE words from Bristol Smooth cardstock inked with milled lavender and tumbled glass and used foam tape to adhere to the card front.

Next, I stamped the birds and birdhouse, colored them with copic markers, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I arranged them around the words and finished with an extra sentiment on a banner and a sprinkle of jewels!

From Our Gnome to Yours

candicardscreations

I am a sucker for any gnomes out there and this little Christmas Gnome set from Paperie Ink stamps is simply irresistible!

I used these products to create my card:

I began my card with a 6 1/2 x 5 card base.

For my background, I heat embossed the diagonal pattern with black on a piece of red cardstock and adhered to the center of my card front. I then die cut the stitched window from Bristol Smooth cardstock, adhered with foam tape, inked the insert with frayed burlap, and glued in the center.

I added the oversized JOY from black cardstock and tucked the Kraft stitched banner under with the sentiment heat embossed on the side.

Next, I stamped the gnome, mushroom house, and strings, colored them with copic markers, and fussy cut them out. I arranged them under the JOY and from the window and banner and finished with a sprinkle of green jewels!

I love the colors of this card and that gnomes are perfect for a masculine Christmas design!

Thank you for stopping by!

Let it Snow!

candicardscreations

Welcome to the November Reverse Confetti Inspirational blog hop! You should have come from Reverse Confetti, but if starting here, I have the full blog hop list below. We are showcasing the amazing November new release that is full of gorgeous new stamps and dies! I am highlighting a few of them for you today on my slimline card!

I used these new Reverse Confetti products to create my slimline design:

I began my slimline with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base.

For the background, I trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock a little smaller than my card front, heat embossed 3 snowflakes in white, and then inked with aged mahogany, victorian velvet, and milled lavender, and then lightly splattered with white paint.

While I let it dry, I die cut my shadow JOY from vellum cardstock and the JOY from copper foil cardstock and adhered them together.

Next, I stamped the penguins, bear, tree, and string lights, colored them with Copic markers, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I then tucked a banner with the sentiment (this is a freebie with a $60 purchase!) heat embossed in white and inked behind the JOY using foam tape on both. I arranged my cuties under the string lights and finished with some accents using gold stickles and a gold pen!

I hope you continue to be inspired by our talented DT and our amazing “Fetti Friends as you check out all the ways to use the gorgeous new release! Your next stop is with Kelly Lunceford and I have the whole Hop Listing below!

Merry Christmoose!

candicardscreations

These adorable moose from Paperie Ink stamps are celebrating the Christmas season!

I used these products to create my slimline design:

I began my slimline with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base.

For the background, I first die cut the stitched window panel from Bristol Smooth cardstock and another using the Twinkle die and trimmed it a little smaller to fit behind the windows. I inked the Twinkle panel behind each window with seedless preserves and chipped sapphire and added the vellum snow hills behind each and added to the front with foam tape.

Next, I stamped the moose, birds, and accessories from the sets listed above, colored them with copic markers, and fussy cut them out. I arranged them into the windows with foam tape and glue. I finished with a white heat embossed sentiment on the inked banner and a few gold jewels!

I love the colors of this Christmas card and you can head on over and check out all the great cute Christmas stamps sets at Paperie Ink!

Snowball Fight!

candicardscreations

It has arrived, the Purple Onion Designs Christmas release and boy is it full of so much fun from a couple of amazing designers, Stacey Yacula and Shari Bresciani! And right now through November 12th you can take advantage of a variety of bundle sales at 30% off HERE!

I have a super fun slimline box card for you today using the new releases from Shari Bresciani!

I used these products for my slimline box card design:

I first created my box card using the 2 slimline box dies using Bristol Smooth cardstock. I inked the background and stitched panels for the front and sides with tumbled glass and milled lavender and splattered the back with white paint and stamped the sentiment on the front strip.

I then die cut the birch tree scene using the partial die cut method (run partway through your machine, rotate and line up, and run partway again!) to fit my background length and used foam tape to adhere. I finished the slimline box by cutting the snow hills and layering inside.

Next, I stamped all the images listed above, colored them with copic markers, and fussy cut them out. I arranged them all throughout the snow hills either with glue or foam tape to give even more dimension to this fun snowball fight scene!

You can head on over to Purple Onion Designs HERE to check out the whole new release and the new Christmas release from Stacey Yacula! There are a lot of must haves!!!

Merry Everything!

candicardscreations

I love these oversized sentiments from Paperie Ink stamps to create your own background for a fun card like I did on this Christmas slimline card!

I used these products to create my slimline design:

I began my slimline with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base.

For the background, I trimmed a piece of pattern paper a little smaller than my card front and adhered to the card. I then die cut the stitched panel from Bristol Smooth cardstock, inked it with kitsch flamingo and spun sugar, and repeatedly stamped the sentiment.

The tags I cut out from the Bristol Smooth cardstock and cut 2 stitched circles. I taped off the square tag and inked it with salvaged patina along with the 2 stitched circles. I popped them up with foam tape and added some black twine to each.

Next, I stamped the flamingos and leaves, colored them with copic markers, and fussy cut them out. I then stamped the oversized sentiment one more time using pink ink, cut it out, and adhered it with a leave on the square tag. The other images I added to the circle tags and finished with a few pink jewels!

I always love to use non tradition colors for Christmas cards and you can try it on your next card!

Thank you!

Candice
