Christmas Village Step Card

Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a wonderful week. This is my final Christmas card for 2023. I love Christmas cottages, and I wanted to create one as a card. I chose to make a step card, which I haven't made for a long time, so that it can be used a home decor next year (maybe)!

I used a Spellbinders die to create my base, and I used distress inks and a stencil to create my snowy background. I wanted the cottages to have a unified look, so I chose the same coloured cardstock. The church has contrasting colours and is a focal for the card.

To add a snowy feel to some of the elements, the die set contains snow banks, which I added in places. To compliment I also added some Nuvo glitter accents in random places.

Supplies:

Dies: Honey Bee Stamps Winter Village, Spellbinders Pop Ups Decorated Birthday S7-207

Ink: Distress ink - stormy sky, faded jeans and chipped sapphire

Cardstock: Kaisercraft- Jungle, crimson, coal, dove, slate, snow, lipstick, spearmint, chestnut, coral and scuba

Other: Simons Says Stamp Falling Snow stencil, modelling paste, Nuvo glitter accents fresh snowfall

Wishing you and yours a safe and happy Christmas and compliments for the new year.

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Creating Bulk Christmas Cards

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a lovely week. I needed to create some cards for my colleagues at work, so that meant bulk cards. I grabbed the possible supplies that I might use and began. It was great to use some supplies that had been in my stash for such a long time and had not been used. What I came up with was:

- a stamped background

- foiled sentiments that can change

- pearls/rhinestones that can be changed

- focal die cut

- ink blending

- layered mats

- premade card base and envelopes

- bulk cards planned DONE.

From my plan, the design was set but the option to personalise was there. Simple! I am so happy with this card design. I will share another post where I have a part two of this design where I add to this for a second bulk design using some oldie but goodie supplies.

Supplies:

Paper: Kaisercraft Forest, Ivory

Kaisercraft CD509 Card Pack Square Kraft

Ink: Versafine vintage sepia, Distress ink vintage photo and antique linen

Stamp: Prima Marketing 5x7 cling stamp texture

Dies: Spellbinders Floral ovals, Hero arts infinity ovals, Memory Box snowflake trees, Spellbinders hotfoil and die glitter wishes

Other: Pearls Kaisercraft Denim, Plum, Lavender and Champagne.
