- 4 Fun and Quick Holiday Cards

  Hi Everyone! Luci here with four fun and quick cards using Kaisercraft Silver Bells Tags, Sticky Back Glitter Paper from Darice in Silver and Gold, and Carta Bella Paper Pad Santa’s Workshop.
  
  Be sure to check out the video HERE!
  
  Card 1 is an A2 size card, I cut the gold glitter paper to 4 1/4 X 5 1/5 and a piece of the pattern paper to 3 X 5 1/2 inches. I adhered the glitter paper to the card base and then centered the pattern paper and adhered it. I used glue dots to adhere the tag so the person receiving it could use if they want!
  
  Card 2 is an A2 size card and I cut a piece of pattern paper to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inches and adhered it to the card base. I cut a piece of silver glitter paper cut to 4 1/2 X 3 inches. I used my cropadile on the front two ends of the card and glitter paper, then I centered the glitter paper and adhered it to the panel. I added the tag on to the glitter paper and that’s it!
  
  Card 3 is an A2 size card and I cut two panels from the pattern paper to about 1 9/16 inch and a piece of the silver glitter paper to 1 1/8 inch. After I adhered all the panels, I added a tag to the inside of the card and that finished that one up.
  
  For my final card I cut a panel from the pattern paper to 4 X 5 1/4 inches to leave a border around the A2 size card. I adhered the tag to a scalloped rectangle that I cut out with a die that was just a little longer than the tags and slightly wider. I added the rectangle piece a little off center on the card.
  
  That’s it for me today! Be sure to check out Scrapping for Less for all the sales!

  Happy Holidays Crafty Friends! It’s Stacy here from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a cute set of tags with a matching card, perfect for that gift for a dear friend or loved one.
  
  Today I am featuring stamps by My Favorite Things. And the best news is they are on sale right now!! So hurry and grab yours!
  
  I used the Santa and Friends stamp set. I stamped all three images in Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink. I then colored them in with my Copic Markers (exact colors are listed below). I then used my Brother Scan n Cut to cut out the images with a small white border.
  
  I used scraps of pattern paper from my stash and layered everything up with a strip a vellum. I foam mounted the Santa and Reindeer, so that I could hide my liquid glue behind the image and sentiment strip to attach the vellum to the card. **Right now pattern paper is on sale also! Check out the store!
  
  I made two matching tags with the remaining two reindeer images. Adding Cranberry Stickles to their noses finished them off perfectly.

- Winter Scene Holiday Card featuring Sunny Studio’s “Christmas Home”
  
  Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
  
  Nov 18th
  
  Hello Everyone! Today I am here with a fun Winter Scene I created using the “Christmas Home” stamp set by Sunny Studio. I also grabbed the Silver – Sticky Back Glitter Paper to add the always needed sparkle to Holiday Cards!
  
  I stamped out most of the images from the stamp set with Gina K Black Amalgam Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I set those aside and die cut the rest of the pieces for my cards. Using a stitched rectangle die I cut a piece of silver glitter paper and a piece of white card stock. I then used a snowy hill stitched die to cut 2 snow hills from the white card stock. I then stamped my sentiment on the smaller snow hill.
  
  I love that the glitter paper has that sticky back – it makes it super easy to use as a main panel. I added my largest snow hill directly onto the glitter paper and the smaller snow hill I added with foam adhesive. I finished the card by arranging my images onto the card.
  
  That’s it for today’s card! I hope you enjoy and get inspired!

- Christmas Card featuring Carta Bella and KaiserCraft

  Nov 17th
  
  Hello! Alicia (Crazy Paper Chick) here to feature the lovely Carta Bella Christmas patterned paper and KaiserCraft gift tags.
  
  To create this card I chose some coordinating patterned paper from the Carta Bella pack and trimmed them to fit my A2 size card base. I used some vellum to tone down the pattern paper and to attach my tags on without it looking too busy.
  
  I chose to use the two different tags and adhere them to each other, one staggered behind the other. I then attached the tags to my vellum, and then the vellum to the card. I used the twine included in the gift tag pack and tied a bow, attaching it with Glue Dots to the top of the tags.
  
  I finally added some enamel dots I found in my stash to finish off the card. This card is great if you need to put something together in a flash. I do have a quick process video if you would like to check it out.
  
  Thanks for stopping by!
  
  Alicia

- Kaisercraft Silver Bells Tags ~ Gift Card Holder Using Tags
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Nov 15th
  
  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a fun idea for prepackaged tags… a Gift Card Holder Tag Card…? Well, I’ll need to work on the name… lol…but basically I made a couple of super cute and fun interactive cards using the beautiful Kaisercraft Silver Bells Tags and they are holding a gift card!! Let’s have a look…
  
  Aren’t these just beautiful?! I love how they turned out! I found that the Simple Stories Country Christmas papers paired up well with the Silver Bells Tags… similar colors and styles, even though one is vintage and the other is country… lol. We’re mixing it up!
  
  First, I cut my layers of patterned paper and adhered them to a red card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I then adhered the card front to a white card base. I trimmed the red mat piece for the tag to 2-1/4 x 3-1/2″ and punched a hole using my ancient Crop-a-Dile allowing me to use the included string… so the recipient could pull the tag using the string. I was just going to adhere the gift card directly to that piece but then I got to thinking that it would be fun to have a piece of card stock across the card and then have the tag tuck in behind it. So, I cut another piece of the red card stock the same size and adhered it to the back of the tag being careful to only adhere the top portion so I had an opening on the bottom to tuck. I cut the red card stock to go across the card and die cut it with a scalloped stitched border die. I adhered it to the card using a strong scor-tape being careful to only add the tape to either side of the card stock so I’d have an opening to tuck the gift card behind.
  
  And then I stamped and heat embossed a surprise sentiment behind the tag!! So fun! I used the My Favorite Things Bitty Holiday Wishes for the sentiment. I stamped it with VersaMark watermark ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder.
  
  Here you can see the other side of the tag where I’ve adhered the gift card using glue dots.
  
  Here’s the second card that I made using all the same steps as the first card only with the other style of tag and different patterned papers from the same Simple Stories Country Christmas paper pad. I also changed up the card stock to coordinate with the aqua colors in this tag.
  
  I forgot to mention above that I tied some white baker’s twine around the string of the tags. I thought it was a fun way to add a bit of white to the tag.
  
  I tried to coordinate my gift cards to the colors of the cards… lol. I couldn’t believe I still have my Amazon gift card from last Christmas! Guess who’s going shopping!?!
  
  This picture shows the opening between the card stock layers that makes it possible to tuck the tag on the card. I know sometimes that a visual can help so I wanted to share this too.
  
  I sure hope that you’ve enjoyed the cards I shared today and that they’ve inspired you to get creative with your designs!!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- Winter Wear by Concord & 9th
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
  
  Nov 14th
  Hello my crafty friends! It’s Kim here with a stamp set that I have been chomping at the bit to use! The images are the epitome of cozy and of all days here in Florida it is actually cold today! High of 68 degrees (yes that’s cold here). So here’s a run down of what I did with today’s card:
  - used Winter Wear stamp by Concord & 9th
  - stamped images out in Gina K Amalgam Ink in whisper
  - used Nuvo Glimmer Paste in moonstone on the Carta Bella stencil Our Home Shiplap
  - colored the image in with Copic Markers (ugh you will see in the pics I managed to show you three colors I used and then I was so focused on coloring I forgot to show any more!)
  - got out a sheet of patterned paper to use for my 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ from Scrapping For Less’ Nordic Winter paper pad
  - cut down my shiplap paper to 4″x5 1/4″ and adhered it onto the Nordic Winter sheet with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive (QUICK TIP: keep a sewing needle or strait pin nearby to unclog the tip)
  - used a rounded stitched rectangle die to cut out the image
  - finished by adding the sentiment in Versafine Ink and adding Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen
  This was my first attempt at a “no line” coloring and I’m liking how it turned out so I definitely think I will try again, practice makes perfect, right? Thank you so much for stopping in and checking out this card. I hope you get the chance to get crafty today!
  
  Keep on crafting,
  
  Kim 🙂

- Cold Hands with Waffle Flower
  
  Posted at 11:00 am by Luci Manos
  
  Nov 13th
  
  Hi Everyone! Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a card using the Waffle Flower Cold Hands Stamp Set and Sticky Back Glitter Paper in Silver from Darice.
  
  Be sure to check out the video HERE!
  
  To create this card I started with an A2 size cardbase or 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inches. I used Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. I stamped the images I wanted to use with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with copic markers. I used my Scan N Cut to cut the images out.
  
  I cut the glitter paper for the front panel to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inches and cut out a 3 1/4 inch circle towards the top center of the card and then cut out another circle from white card stock with a 3 1/2 inch die.
  
  I used a cloud stencil, Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks to create the background sky on the 3 1/2 inch circle. I left the bottom of the circle white. Then I used one of the tree stamps and stamped a few trees with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink.
  
  I adhered all of the tree images to the 3 1/2 inch circle panel and popped the mouse images up with some foam dots. I adhered the 3 1/2 inch circle to the top of the card base and then adhered the glitter paper to the card base lining up the circles. I stamped the sentient “Cold Hands” from Hero Arts Ink in Moss on a white strip of card stock. I cut the banner down to 4 1/4 X 3/4 inches and adhered it towards the bottom of the card with some foam tape.
  
  To finish it off I stamped on the inside of the card the sentiment “Warm Heart”, as well as, the image of the mittens with the string of them creating a heart. I colored in the mittens with copic markers.

- Have a Coffee with a Friend featuring My Favorite Things

  Nov 12th
  
  Hello, it’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a card featuring some pretty cute critters.
  
  It’s a pretty simple layout because I wanted the focus to be on the adorable critters. The Sweater Weather on the Safari is one of my favorite stamp sets by My Favorite Things. I paired the stamp set with the Scrapping for Less Holiday Flowers 6×6 paper collection from the October Flavor of the Month Card Kit.
  
  The images were simply colored using alcohol markers.
  
  Thanks for visiting,

- Winter Window Holiday Card featuring Stamping Bella!
  
  Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
  
  Nov 11th
  Hello Everyone! Today I made a cozy winter window featuring the “Winter Window” cling stamp set from Stamping Bella. I wanted to create more of a “window” look so this image entailed a lot of fussy cutting!
  
  I want to inform you that this stamp set has TWO images of the window. I used the larger image for today’s card but there is a smaller version if you wanted to create more of a scene!
  
  Set comes with Large window, Small Window and Sentiment Stamp
  
  This card has LOTS of small steps that I think will be best described in the video. Please CLICK HERE if you want to see the actual creating of this card. It involves lots of steps, but overall is not difficult.
  
  I basically have 3 pieces of the same image that all come together.
  1. The “inside” piece which shows the outdoor scene
  2. The “main” piece that holds the acetate
  3. The curtains cut from pattern paper that are adhered the the curtain space on the “main” piece.
  4. The main piece is adhered to a piece of striped pattern paper
  5. The inside piece is adhered to the card base
  6. The front panel (striped paper with “main” piece”) is then adhered to the card base on 1 layer of foam adhesive with the outdoor scene fitting perfectly into place.
  To finish the card I added my sentiment!
  
  Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoy and get inspired!

- Coffee Melt Snowman by Your Next Stamp
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Stacy Tiedemann
  
  Nov 10th
  
  Hi Everyone, this is Renee’ with Delaney Jane Cards and I’m so excited to be on the Scrapping for Less blog today. I am one of two guest designers this month and I cannot wait to share some fun things with everyone.
  
  I created an adorable snowman Christmas card using Coffee Melt by YNS and Echo Park’s My Favorite Christmas 6×6 pad. You can find both in the Scrapping for Less store.
  
  I had some trouble with my colorless blender while coloring this image and wasn’t sure I could salvage it so I had to find a solution. I colored the sky and used that same troublesome 0 Copic to add swirls to the color to camouflage my error.
  
  Sometimes a simple creative solution can keep your project from getting tossed in the trash.
  
  I really loved the color pallet this paper pad offered. It gave me a set of colors to use on this adorable melting snowman. I even got to use my favorite Copic YG17.
  
  Your Next Stamp has some of the cutest sets and most include fun sentiments like this one. Life is too short for bad coffee. It makes me giggle as this snowman melts for his love of the wonderful caffeinated goodness. I figured the mug was supposed to be a snowman, but I wanted to spread the green color around a bit more and made it green… another opportunity to use YG17. I have no clue why I like that color as much as I do, but I try to incorporate it in all my green combos.
  
  Thank you for stopping by & remember to GIVE CARDS GENEROUSLY!
  
  -Renee
