Sweet Grinch

He stamped, colored, and cut out the Grinch Image and used pop dots to pop him up.

The words were cut and embossed with embossing powder. He added heart embellishments for the Grinch's big heart.

Winter Wonderland

 Hello, Janet here with a clean simple card for Christmas you could send to anyone.

I made this card with one stamp, Spruce Tree Tall. Three trees were stamped lightly in the background with green ink, on white cardstock. The one out front is stamped darker. I layered it on printed Happy Holidays paper. Next, I layered that on gold paper. A thin gold cord is tied around the card. I added a sparkly gold star on top of the tree in front.

Christmas Eve

Hello, Janet here with a heartwarming card for Christmas. The magic of Christmas Eve, a fireplace, stockings, and a tree. A magical time for any child. The long wait for Santa to arrive.

The fireplace and the boy were stamped on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic markers. Using a soft brush and blue ink, I gave some color to the background. I added some glitter to the garland on the fireplace. The picture is layered on black cardstock and then on black snowflake designer paper. I stamped the sentiment, Magic and Bright, with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. Then, I cut the sentiment out, layered it on black paper, and cut around it. It is attached in the upper right corner.

Got Cookies Triple Z-Fold Card

 Hello!  This is Shanna today with another fun project featuring Crackerbox Stamps!  The holidays are fast approaching, which makes me want to bake everything. Such was my inspiration for this card today!

Products used in today’s project:
Baking Girl
Kitchen Set of 6
Baking set of 3
Got Cookies

I sketched out a few ideas for this card before ultimately deciding to play with a triple z-fold card layout  I love all the dimension this simple fun fold gives!  Bonus I got to pull out some older patterned paper from my stash too!

I colored all of my stamped images with my Copic markers using a no-line coloring technique.  This coloring technique gives the illusion that the images were drawn rather than stamped— it also gives some flexibility in adding to images.  For example, the original Baking Girl has a short haircut, but when I colored it, I changed the shape to better suit the ethnicity of the girl I was coloring!  Other ideas would be making it longer than the original shoulder-length haircut of the original.

The sentiment was stamped in red ink on Kraft cardstock to stay in the same colorways, finishing off the card! Thank you so much for joining me today! I look forward to sharing another card with all of you soon!

Christmas Cookies

 Hello, this is Janet with a sweet Christmas card to share. I love traditions, and making cookies is at the top of my list!

Using white cardstock, I stamped the Baking Girl and the Cookie Frosted Christmas Set of 3 with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic markers and cut them out. I cut a rectangle from silver paper and rounded the corners to make it look like a cookie sheet. Next, I placed the cookies on the cookie sheet and layered that on red, green, and white dotted paper. I attached the girl on the left side of the paper. I stamped the sentiment, Happy Holidays, with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink on white cardstock and cut around the letters. I layered that on red cardstock and cut around it again, leaving the red a little larger. I placed the words over the girl and on the corner of the cookie sheet. The final step was layering the printed paper on red cardstock before layering it on the card.

A Grinchy Twist on Holiday Cheer

 

Hello, friends!

Ericka here, and today I’ve got a playful, coffee-themed holiday card that brings a touch of holiday mischief to the season! Inspired by one of my favorite Christmas characters, I used the Grinches Drink Up sentiment along with the Grinches Hand and Coffee 1 set for a unique and fun design.

 

To bring this card to life, I stamped the sentiment in Green Oasis Versafine Clair ink and added some sparkle with clear embossing powder. I then stamped the images, giving them a festive watercolor treatment for that holiday warmth. To top it off, I added a flurry of snowflakes for that extra Christmas feel.

And there you have it—a whimsical coffee-themed Christmas card with a bit of Grinchy charm!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!

Harry Potter Holiday Card for Muggles

Hello, everyone!  Toni here with you today sharing a Harry Potter holiday card featuring Ron.

I started my card by stamping the Santa hat from the Minion 1 set.  I masked the hat then stamped Ron from the Harry P 1 set.  I stamped him again so I could paper piece his robe's collar and his hands with cuffs, and also stamped him on a piece of plaid paper for his hand-me-down robe.

I colored him up using Copics then paper-pieced his outfit.  I really like how that turned out.  For the sentiment, I combined the Holiday Greetings Harry and Happy Birthday Muggle stamps.  I sponged the edges of the card base rather heavily with Distress Oxide Mustard Seed and added a snowflake border.

Grinch Christmas in July

Hello, everyone!  Toni here with you today with a holiday card featuring the Grinch. Well, not the Grinch but instead his favorite buddy, Max.

I stamped and colored the glass and lights from the Glass and Get Lit set. I used Copics and then applied ink to the lights with a small round brush. The lights also have glossy accents.

I then colored up Max from the Grinch and Max set. I thought his expression looked a little derpy drunk, so I thought he was perfect to include on the card.

The final touches on the card included sponging ink along the bottom edges and stamping the Glass and Get Lit sentiment.  Cute and fun, right?
