Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone and Welcome!

Today Ksenija is here, and I am happy to share with you a new project as a part of December inspiration from International DT.

Today I am featuring the Christmas Wreath red rubber stamps set. I am really in love with this set.

Tips on Making This Card:

• Trim the panel from white card stock down to 4 1/4 by 5 1/2" (10 by 14 cm)
• Stamp the wreath in black archival ink off the edge
• Colour the impression with watercolour markers
• Stamp the wreath in black archival ink down to a piece of white card stock and colour the bow and one of the anise stars. 

• Fussy cut out the bow and the anise star.
• Stamp down the sentiment from the same set.

• Adhere the card panel to the black card base and pop up the bow and the star with foamed tape.
• Add glitter to some of the elements of the wreath

I am sending you my most sincere wishes of health and happiness this Christmas! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Christmas Wreath 6x6 Greetings Card

Hi everyone - Mike here!

So the snow has started to fall here in the UK and I thought I'd get even more into the festive mood by creating a 6x6 Christmas wreath greeting card using the IndigoBlu stamp set of the same name.

IndigoBlu products I've used in this project are:

Postbox Red Damaged Damask 12 x12 paper

Ruby Slipper Metallic Acrylic Paint

Emerald Slippers Metallic Acrylic Paint

Christmas Wreath Stamp Set

Christmas is coming....

Morning All,

Carolyn here with you today. I've been creative as long as I can remember and my interest in card making began over 10 years ago. I attended a local craft workshop weekly and it snowballed from there. Being involved with Indigoblu has broadened my horizons and I also enjoy mixed media too.

I made this card whilst creating my samples for Kay's Christmas ODS recently.

Firstly I created the background with Blue Luscious and added a few splatters.

I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Wreath stamp set in dark blue.

The snowflakes were stamped with the blue Luscious onto shrink plastic and fussy cut. These were then blasted with the heat gun to shrink them.

The pale blue matt layer was a piece of white card that I'd painted with the blue Luscious.

 To finish the card this was then mounted onto a dark blue card blank

Thank you for joining me today

Small but Beautiful

Hello,   Kay M here and I'm sharing a card I've made with the fabulous new Christmas Wreath stamp set.   The wreath is a great size and looks wonderful when filling a square card but I wanted to see it what it would look like on shrink film.  I wasn't disappointed - loved it and decided to use it as a main image for a card.

The wreath was stamped with a grey StazOn ink onto Matte Shrink Film from GrafixArt and coloured in with colouring pencils, being careful not to add too much colour as it intensifies as it shrinks.   I used a heat tool to shrink but an oven could also be used- it's less scary!   The sentiment was stamped, cut out and shrunk too.

The background was stamped using the snowflakes from theChristmas Wreath set  with Snow White Metallic paint, when dry, Festive Berries Distress ink was sponged over.  The shrunk wreath was backed with a sheet of  Dura-Lar Matte, from GrafixArt, stamped using one of my favourite Christmas stamps- Snowflake Lace, with FlitterGlu and covered with Porcelain Luscious Powders.  I attached this to the background with a little spray adhesive.  Both these stamps look wonderful together.  

To finish the card the wreath and sentiment attached with silicon glue.    

This card could be also be a winter birthday card with a change of sentiment.

Hope you have enjoyed this project.

Take care,  Kay M x
