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!

 

Merry and Bright Shaker Card

Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a great week. Today I am sharing with a shaker card that I have made using papers from the Mint Wishes Collection from Kaisercraft. I have used lots of Christmas dies that are also from Kaisercraft which are so perfect for cardmaking.

The baubles in the background come with coordinating dies which make construction very simple. I coloured them in with copics and then added clear wink of stella over them to add some sparkle. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set with Versafine ink onto acetate and embossed it using embossing glitter.
