Today I’m sharing the second of my Christmas card styles: Shabby Chic Layering! 

Materials used:

  • Studio Light Sweet Winter Season paper collection
  • Studio Light Sweet Winter Season diecuts/punch-outs
  • Creator’s Image Studio Vintage Notelet cutapart labels
  • Stickles glitter glue
  • dimensional tape
  • several dies and stamps
  • embossing folder
  • some small ephemera from my stash

Btw, the title in the video states it’s #3, but it’s not of course. My bad. Just ignore it and blame the Christmas spirit (or something).

 

Elaborate Christmas Card

Merry Christmas everyone, and the happiest of New Years!

For a swap with a lovely lady in Canada (hi Diane! 🙂 ) I created this elaborate fold-out Christmas card. It counts six surface areas, offering great space for sentiments, stamps, pictures and other decorations.

I used the Season’s Greetings paper pad by Panduro, showcasing a lovely Christmas bear cutapart from the Sweet Winter Season collection by Studio Light.

It’s quite easy to make, and it’s basically part of a more elaborate wallet card I created for one of the Kaisercraft Exchange swap projects. If you’d like to learn step-by-step how to create this card, you can check out my tutorial.

 

 

Christmas Card Tip

This week I’m sharing a tip for your Christmas cards. I know it’s early, but at least this tip will be on time for you! 🙂

Usually when creating a card you would create a cardstock base first, which you would then mat with design paper (and decorate). What I’m showing you in the video and pictures below is a fun and light-weight alternative: use double-sided design paper only and leave out the cardstock entirely! Your cards will be lighter and less bulky, making them easier (and more affordable) to send by mail, and you can decorate them just as you would any cardstock-based card.
As a bonus, the insides of these cards will be gorgeous without you having to put in any effort!

So have fun creating your Christmas cards, enjoying their new lightness 🙂 !
