Hello everyone! :o)

Tomorrow morning I'm traveling to Ivanić-Grad to spend my Winter vacation with my family and friends. I'll be offline most of the time. I managed to prepare and schedule couple posts, so it won't be quiet here. :o) I hope you'll all enjoy holidays and have a great time. :o)


Today I want to share with you these two CAS (clean and simple), Christmas Trees on Kraft Cards.

These were super easy to create.

I heat embossed in white beautiful Christmas tree from Uniko 'Christmas Pop' clear stamp set on two Kraft paper panels. I left one as it is. I inked the other one with White Chalk Ink. Love how it turned out. :o)

After the inked panel dried, I glued both panels on a white top folded card base and my cards were finished. :o)

Christmas Tree on Kraft Card

Hello everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you three winter themed cards I made before I went on holidays. All cards are made combining white and Kraft papers, colors, embellishments etc.. I'll be sharing cards in separate posts. :o)


First up today is this Christmas Tree on Kraft Card. :o)

This card is a CASE of my Christmas Tree Card. I went with a same layout and color scheme, I used a same tree stencil, both cards have "snowflakes" in the background, but I used different papers, mediums and techniques to create new card. I won't compare differences in this post, I'll just write how I made this card. If you want to see how I made the CASEd card, jump here. :o)

The tree is heat embossed.

I used GORGEOUS 'Christmas Trees' ARTploarations Stencil. Love this stencil so much!! :o) If you like, you can see all cards I made using this stencil here, here and here. :o)

I cut out a paper panel from a Kraft paper slightly smaller than a card base, spread powder over the panel, fixed stencil on the panel and taped with Tsukineko VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad through the stencil. I removed stencil gently, sprinkled Embossing Powder on the watermarked tree and heat it. When I was done with heat embossing, I cleaned the powder with dry microfiber cloth.

At this stage I could finish the card, but it looked empty. I mixed white acrylic paint with a water and splattered the panel using paint brush. I left splatters dry on air. When drying acrylic paint splatters on air they look prettier than drying with heat tool. I mentioned this last year in my post here.

After drying, I glued foam sheet on the back of the panel, glued it on the card base and my card was finished. Not bad for first time heat embossing stenciled image. :o)

Card dimensions: 107 mm x 139 mm (4 1/4" x 5 1/2")

List of supplies:

• 'Christmas Trees' ARTploarations Stencil
• Crafter's Companion Neenah Desert Storm Kraft Coloring Card
• white cardstock paper
• Tsukineko VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad
• WOW! Embossing Powder (Opaque Bright White, Regular, WL01R)
• Marabu Acrylic Paint (070 White)
• foam sheet 1 mm thick
• acrylic block (102 mm x 102 mm)
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• Sigma Rotary Paper Trimmer
• bone folder
• Ranger Heat It Craft Tool
• Marabu fine rounded paint brush no. #0
• powder bag
• water
• dry microfiber cloth (for cleaning powder)
• washi tape (for stencil fixing)

Ombré Blue Christmas Tree Cards

Hello everyone! :o)

My second post today... If you missed the first one, just scroll down or follow a direct link here.


Inspired with several cards I made, which you can find here, here and here, I made these two CAS (clean and simple), Ombré Blue Christmas Tree Cards. :o)

I used a 'Christmas Trees' ARTploarations Stencil. I colored structure paste with tempera color and spread it through the stencil on a white cardstock paper panel. I tried to get Ombré Effect. I cleaned the stencil with water and microfiber cloth and did the same on another panel, but on the reverse side of the stencil. I love this! One stencil two "different" trees. :o)

I left panels drying on air 24 hours. After drying, I punched opposite corners of panels with a paper puncher and did same with top folded card bases, glued foam sheets on panels, glued them on card bases and my cards were finished. Super easy! :o)

Dimensions of cards: 101 mm x 133 mm (4" x 5 1/4")

List of supplies:

• 'Christmas Trees' ARTploarations Stencil
• white cardstock paper
• Marabu Light Structure Paste (805)
• Aero Tempera Color (700 Ultramarine Deep)
• foam sheet 1 mm thick
• Sigma Rotary Paper Trimmer
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• rounded corner paper puncher
• bone folder
• palette knife (spatula) no. #1
• microfiber cloth (for cleaning)
• water (for cleaning)

Blue Christmas Tree Card

Hello everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you couple of winter themed cards I made before I went on holidays. All cards are made using one stencil and I'll be sharing them in separate posts today. :o)


First up today is this Blue Christmas Tree Card. :o)

I used GORGEOUS 'Christmas Trees' ARTploarations Stencil. I won the stencil and beautiful clear stamp at STAMPlorations as a July 2016 CAS card challenge winner. :o)

I blended Tim Holtz's Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon through the stencil on a white cardstock paper panel. After removing the stencil, I blended the whole panel with same Distress Ink. I splattered the panel with water using my fingers and dried it with Ranger Heat It Tool. I repeated the process until I was satisfied.

Then I trimmed the panel, punched opposite corners with paper puncher and glued the panel on a top folded white card base.

To add more interest to my card, I drew white dots on the tree and around it and my card was finished. :o)

Dimensions of card: 101 mm x 133 mm (/4" x 5 1/4")

List of supplies:

• 'Christmas Trees' ARTploarations Stencil
• white cardstock paper
• Tim Holtz's Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon
• Uniball Signo White
• double sided strong adhesive tape
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• rounded corner paper puncher

Colorful Christmas Tree Shaker Card

Hi everyone! :o)

My third post today... If you missed previous two, just scroll down or follow direct links here and here. This is also my 400 post! :o)

My second card today is this Colorful Christmas Tree Shaker Card.

For this card, I went with a same design as on my card I shared earlier today, here.

I cut a designer paper panel slightly smaller than a card base, cut out a triangle window on it and glued acetate sheet on the window.

I made my own shaker mix from various sequins and droplets, filled the window with the shaker mix and glued the panel on the card base.

Lastly, I glued a white panel inside the card to make it thicker and more stable, because front of the card was quite heavy and card couldn't stand.

Card dimensions: 101 mm x 133 mm (4" x 5 1/4")

List of supplies:

• Create a Smile 'Snow Dance' kit
• designer paper
• sequins
• droplets from Create a Smile 'Beach Party' kit
• green sequins (unknown manufacturer)
• white cardstock paper
• acetate sheet
• foam sheet 3 mm thick
• double sided strong adhesive tape
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• acrylic block (102 mm x 102 mm)
• bone folder
• ruller
• eraser

On January 7th, 2017 started I Love Math Challenge #4. A theme is Anything MATH Goes. Cards I shared today have a triangle shape and perfectly fit to the challenge.
