Happy Friday! Today I have 4 holiday card ideas to help you get your creative juices flowing this weekend, featuring fun stamps and dies from My Favorite Things.
Festive Christmas Card w/ Stamped Background (December 2016)
I created a colorful Christmas card with full of fun images from two fabulous stamp sets from My Favorite Things: Beast Friends and Merry Everything.
I masked the images while stamping to add some interest to my background and colored them with Copic markers.
If you have many small stamps you don’t use often, this is a great opportunity to pull them out and create a fun background. Click HERE to read my original post.
Deer Friend Christmas Card (October 2016)
I couldn’t resist myself creating a winter scene by combining two adorable stamp sets from My Favorite Things: Beast Friends and Deer Friends.
I always love to tell a story in my cards when possible. Click HERE to learn how I made this card and what story I made up. 🙂
Christmas Eve Themed Card (October 2016)
I created a festive Christmas Eve themed card using a couple of amazing products from My Favorite Things‘s October 2016 Holiday Release.
I was inspired by my own childhood memory to create this card. When I was little, I was waiting for midnight to come as I wanted to meet Santa. But I always fell asleep even before 9:00 PM.
This card captures the moment when Santa is loading the gift boxes into his sleigh at 11:55 PM on Christmas Eve. Inspiration can came from everywhere, right? Click HERE to read my original post.
One Layer Christmas Card (October 2016)
For this cute one layer card, I used the masking technique to add some dimension/interest to my image from the Beast Friends stamp set. Then I drew some extended Christmas lights using Copic Multiliner.
It’s always good to have a stash of one layer Christmas cards as they are mail friendly. Click HERE to read my original post.
