Now that I've made all of the formal introductions, let's get onto the projects!
This card uses very little supplies and comes together rather quickly, but I think the end result is just gorgeous and definitely a favorite out of my growing stack of holiday cards!
I stamped the stars from Christmas Cheer with VersaMark all over white cardstock and heat embossed them in white. Zig Clean Color markers in two shades of turquoise were scribbles over the stars, using a darker shade in the middle. I then brushed the whole thing with water to finish the blending and give it that watercolor look.
This "Let it snow" phrase from the Christmas Cheer die collection is a beautiful addition to the star background. I cut it from white cardstock and adhered it just around the center so that the exterior of the words could curl up a bit from the card for dimension.
The bottom of the card is wrapped in twine and finished with a bow. I think this look could be done in a variety of different colors and even work great on large gift tags!
When you are in need of a quick hostess gift, wine is always appreciated and easy to grab at the last minute. So why not make ahead some festive wine bottle tags to have on hand?
This tag was cut from white cardstock and then I cut the front only from the Luxe Gold Foil striped paper. Easy to do and adds such a nice touch.
"Christmas" from Christmas Cheer die collection was cut three times from Pure Poppy cardstock and adhered together. I then used a 2-way glue pen to apply red glitter. I'm loving this red glitter look a lot and will be using it throughout the season this year!
This second tag was cut from Pure Poppy cardstock. I made the Snowflake Medallion from White Linen cardstock and used the circle leftover from the Wine Bottle Tag cut for the center. The sentiment from Treetops Glisten was a perfect fit, stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed in gold. A bit of gold floss around the top finishes this quick tag!
Did you notice this particular paper design in Maile's new Treetops Glisten pad? I think this is just one of the most ingenious things ever! If you scroll to the top of the post to see this particular design, it only includes the kraft colored triangles and the black tree trunks. This gives you complete control of your design to be able to stamp the trees in any colors you wish! SO fun!
I decided to go a bit non-traditional with my colors and used Summer Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Ocean Tides, Aqua Mist and Simply Chartreuse. I went back in with a gold paint pen and a few dots to each tree.
the sentiment was stamped directly onto the paper with True Black ink.
I wrapped gold floss around the card a few times and finished it with a bow. One of the easiest Christmas cards ever and it's nice and flat for easy mailing too!
I thought Scene It: Mountain View would be a good match for Treetops Glisten too!
I cut the hills portion from white cardstock and trimmed the evergreen trees off. Then die-cutting these Treetops Glisten trees and stamping them with a mixture of Simply Chartreuse and Ripe Avocado. A bit of Prisma Glitter is added underneath them. After stamping the other trees in True Black directly onto the Classic Kraft card base, I embossed one of the Scene It: Mountain View dies onto the card front. It adds a really nice touch! A white gel pen was used to add small dots and snowflakes.
The sentiment tucks in right underneath the winter scene. The font Maile used in this set is just gorgeous!
