Candles Candles

This year I've been making several die cut Christmas cards. Here are some that I made with Candle Shop die set from Sizzix / Tim Holtz. All the cards feature candles die cut with the Candle Shop die set.

The first card features a frame die from Penny Black called Frame It, a bow from Vault Festive Wreath die set by Sizzix / Tim Holtz and a die cut sentiment that says 'Christmas Peace'.

The second one features a frame die by Penny Black called Whirl, and some added greenery and berries die cut with the Vault Festive Wreath die set by Sizzix / Tim Holtz. The die cut sentiment is the same as above.

This one features pretty much the same elements as the card above, I used used a different patterned paper and a stamped sentiment (it says 'Christmas Greetings').

The last card features a panel die cut with a Penny Black die Semi-Circle Stackers and some added greenery and a pine cone die cut with the Vault Festive Wreath die set by Sizzix / Tim Holtz. The sentiment is the same as in the card above.

Festive Poinsettia

I made a couple of Christmas cards with Altenew's gorgeous poinsettia stamp, Festive Poinsettia. I coloured them with my Copics before fussy cutting them out. For the background in the first card, I masked a rectangle and ink blended it with Distress Oxide ink in Iced Spruce and splattered some gold and brown ink on it. I then dry embossed it with a Penny Black embossing folder called Melody before adhering the poinsettia on it. The sentiment is die cut and says 'Christmas Greetings' in Finnish. I embellished the card with some half pearls.

The second card has more of a vintage feel to it. I used a piece of light brown cardstock and stamped it with Pinkfresh Studio's Dainty Plaid background stamp before ink blending some brown Distress Oxide ink on the edges. The frame is also by Pinkfresh Studio and it's called Ornate Oval Frame. I splattered the poinsettia and the background with some white acrylic ink, adhered everything in place, adhered the die cut sentiment in place (the same as in the first card) and embellished the card with some gems.

Christmas Blush

Here's a Christmas card I made with a Penny Black stamp called Christmas Blush. I coloured the image with my Copics before masking the edges with masking tape and ink blending the rectangle with Distress Oxide ink in Saltwater Taffy. I stamped the sentiment ('Happy Christmastime' in Finnish) before matting the panel onto some red cardstock and then the cardbase. Lastly, I embellished the card with some gems.
