Christmas Scene Card Set

Hello! Thank you for checking out my Christmas Scene Card Set, I hope you enjoy! Make sure to comment below and subscribe to my YouTube to get as much inspiration as you want!

All three of these cards feature stamps from some of the 2020 Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamps, ChristmasTime 3 and Holiday Scenes.

To start these cards I did the same thing, with some Ranger Archival Ink I used my stamp platform to ensure I got the darkest stamped image.  

Then I picked out a few distress markers and used them with some water to paint the stamped images. 

For this particular card I used the following markers:

- Tea Dye

- Gathered Twigs

- Brushed Corduroy

- Wild Honey

- Iced Spruce

- Peeled Paint

- Forest Moss

- Festive Berries

I added a little bit of shimmer with Wink of Stella pen to all the areas with snow to give it a pretty sparkle, without using messy glitter!

I cut out the stamped image, rounded the corners and I added a little Antique Linen around the edge of the image with a blending tool to give it a little vintage look

Using StazOn ink I stamped my greeting, poured some gold embossing powder on and used a heat gun to finish it off. Then I stamped the little star burst from the same stamp set around the outer edge of the card base, poured white embossing powder and used the heat gun to finish it off.

Using some foam mounting tape I taped the image to the base to give it a little dimension.

And there you have it! Beautifully simple cards!

Haunted House Inspiration

I created this card using the new Tim Holtz ‘Sketch Manor’ stamp set.



I started by dipping a piece of water color paper into inks, drying in between dippings. I then created my scene, I stamped the house, tree, moon and bats on to the base paper. I also stamped an additional house onto another piece of water color paper. 

I colored the moon and tree with the water color method using distress inks and a water pen. 

Next I colored the “extra” stamped house using the same method. I cut the house into three sections; the left wing, the middle part of the house and the right wing. I then glued the “wings” down onto the base of the card. I took the middle of the house and glued it onto another piece of paper so it would stand off of the card a little more. 

I used a blank page form an old book and stamped ‘an uninvited guest’ from the ‘Tiny Text - Halloween’ stamp set.

Eye spy Halloween Inspiration

I created this Halloween card using the newly released ‘Dearly Departed’ stamp set. 

I stamped the eye onto a piece of water color paper that I colored using distress inks. I stitched around the image and taped it into a piece of Black Out Kraft stock that I wrinkled up and smoothed out. I completed it with a sticker from the ideology Halloween curiosity sticker book.

Alcohol Lift Ink Birthday Card

So alcohol lift ink is completely new to my crafting stash.. and I LOVE IT!!! 

I added some alcohol ink to an alcohol ink applicator tool and pounced it around onto my yupo. 

Then I took my glorious bouquet stamp and applied the alcohol lift ink and stamped an area of my dried alcohol ink design. Using a paper towel I dabbed the lift ink off the image and carefully rubbed more of the lift ink off the paper until I had a beautiful ghostly flower image. Since the alcohol ink was transferred onto my stamp, I stamped onto the baseboard photo frame. 

Using tear tape I attached my paper to the frame. I added a small metal flower to the side, I used green & purple beeswax metal finish to add a some color to the adornment. 

I wrapped the frame with some thread and stamped a little sentiment using the tiny text stamp onto a piece of old book page. 

I finished it off with some sequins to add a little sparkle.
