Mistletoe Magic | Stampin' Blends | Christmas Card | Positive Inkers Design Team Blog Hop

Hello again crafty friends! And happy September! It's time again for our Positive Inkers Design Team blog hop and this month, our theme is Christmas/Seasonal! I'm super excited to see what the design team has created!

Here's my card!

I'm happy to introduce you to the lovely Mistletoe Magic stamp set from Stampin' Up! And in my video you'll learn how to use Stampin' Blends and add texture to your cards. I want to mention, silly me, that I meant to order the Mistletoe dies and totally forgot. Sooooo....just so you know...there is a Mistletoe Magic Bundle available.

MISTLETOE MAGIC Stamp set #159731

Watch my YouTube video further down in this post to get tips on using Stampin' Blends. They're so easy to use! You'll love them!

I talk a lot about texture - it's a simple way of adding interest to your projects. Having said that, it's important to make sure there's a balance. For example, my card above has roughed up edges on the So Saffron layer, then embossing using the Bricks & Mortar 3D folder. There's also the 'holes' on the tag, ribbon, baker's twine & embellishments. The balance I spoke of comes from the textures not being in competition - they work together.

Eden's Garden | Merriest Moments | Clean & Simple Christmas Card

Happy November Crafty Friends! I've been playing again with the just released Eden's Garden bundle and thinking of how I could take a non-Christmas set and make it into a Christmas card.

Here's my finished card....

I started with a piece of Ever Eden specialty designer series paper, then added an Evening Evergreen card base.

These Distinktive stamps are photorealistic and they stamp with depth so you'll see light and dark areas in detail. My upline gave me a great tip for inking up the image stamps in this set - use a sponge dauber. It worked great! Both the image layer & backing layer were cut using Layering Circles dies.

I sentiment from Merriest Moments in Real Red, and cut it using one of the dies from Pretty Pillowbox. To bring in a little more red, I added a few Red Rhinestone Jewels.

The die cut behind the image layer is from the Eden dies - part of the bundle. Before finishing the card, I added loops and pieces of silver trim from Simply Elegant Trim.

I used the Eden's Garden & Ever Eden specialty dsp in a previous post, which you can view here.

Tidings & Trimmings Oh So Pretty Card & Video Tutorial

Hi Crafty Friends! I took a much needed mini vacation last week, and spent time enjoying the sun, swimming and relaxing. Bliss!

And now I'm back with a really pretty card and video tutorial just for you!

Here's my card!

I love creating texture and interest through dry and heat embossing, layers, die cuts, patterns and even white space!

TIDINGS & TRIMMINGS BUNDLE #155716

You simply can't go wrong with this bundle of 18 stamps and 15 dies for your cards and projects! For the best value, purchase as a bundle and save 10%!

Check out the stunning detail on the stocking stamp! I've used gold embossing powder to heat emboss on Basic White and Kraft paper!

By keeping each of the elements small, such as the Basic White paper embossed using the Tasteful Textiles folder, and narrow strips of Tidings of Christmas designer series paper, everything stays in balance.
