Joy
For this card, I started by creating the background with the new Swirl Background stencil set.
I used the Wendy Vecchi Stay-tion and Tombow removable adhesive runner to hold my paper in place. I used Distress White Heavystock because it ink blends beautifully! I used Pinkfresh inks in the following colors:
- Sparkling Rose
- Raspberry Bliss
- Bubblegum
- Ballet Slippers
When I ink blend I like to use the Simon Says Stamp blending brushes, and I store them in the layer cake caddie, they all fit on my desk, and take up very little space. I also use the ink stands to hold my inks in place. I have the Pinkfresh Ink cubes, and the Ink Stand mini ink holder is PERFECT for these!
Once I ink blended the different layers of the stencil, I then put the last stencil back in place, and spread Ranger Transparent Matte Texture Paste, this is a thick paste, and while wet was perfect for me to sprinkle Chunky Glitter, and it holds onto it well!
I then used the new Joy hot foil plate and coordinating die, and gold foiled the letters onto a piece of cardstock that I ink blended with Pinkfresh Raspberry Bliss ink. I added these letters to the card with foam squares.
I am using the Spellbinders, Glimmer Hot Foil System and the Spellbinders Platinum Machine. The Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System works with most die-cut machines, you don’t need a Spellbinders Platinum.
Lastly, I used one of the sentiments from the new Ornaments stamp set, and gold embossed it onto another piece of ink-blended cardstock. There is also a coordinating die, hot foil, and stencils for this set!
Merry & Bright
For this next card, I started by hot foiling with the new Merry & Bright hot foil plate, with matte gold foil. I then die-cut it with the Merry & bright coordinating die. I then stamped the new Snowflakes Background stamp with Raspberry Bliss ink, and die-cut the snowflakes.
I ink blended the background into a gradient using:
- Sparkling Rose
- Raspberry Bliss
- Bubblegum
- Ballet Slippers
and then die-cut it with the Ornate Medallions background die. I added some Prisma glitter with a Quickie glue pen to the individual snowflakes, and then added those and the sentiment with foam squares to the card. Lastly, I added some Glacier Jewels.
Noel
For this card, I started by ink blending some Distress White Heavystock with a circular gradient. I started in the center with the lightest color, Ballet Slippers, and then worked my way out to the darkest. I used the same ink colors as I used above
- Sparkling Rose
- Raspberry Bliss
- Bubblegum
- Ballet Slippers
I then die-cut the background with the Stitched Diamonds coverplate die. I then hot foiled the new Noel plate, and die-cut it. I also hot foiled the new snowflake hot foil plate onto some pink cardstock, and diecut it out.
I used the grid on the Wendy Vecchi Station, to line up my letters and snowflake how I would like them to appear on my card, I then used some low tack tape to hold/grab the letters and snowflake all at once. I added some foam squares to the back and then adhered them to the card.
Want to know a secret? Once on the card, I noticed the low tack tape took a bit of the gold foil off the letters. Instead of scrapping the whole card, I covered the letters with glossy accents and then sprinkled Prisma Glitter onto them. Voila! Dimensional, sparkly, gold letters! I LOVE how this turned out!
Hopefully, you found these cards inspiring, and if you aren’t into the non-traditional colors for holiday cards- you can always use the same designs with different color combos!
