Christmas is quickly approaching, and I have quite a few Christmas cards to share! Today’s card features the Kraftin’ Kimmie Moosel-toe! Stamp set.
To create the background of this card, I masked off a plaid pattern using basic sticky notes (always a handy tool to have in your craft space!) and ink-blended using Candied Apple and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxides. I also splattered the background using Liquitex Iridescent Bright Gold Acrylic Ink.
Once I had stamped my image (and a sentiment), I used the following Copics to colour the image:
Browns: E11, E15, E18, E29, E33, E37, E49
Reds: R08, R14, R27
Greens: G07, G24, G28
Yellows: Y02, Y06, Y11
Blacks: 110
To finish off my card, I used Bearly Art Glue to adhere my image to the background as well as add a mat of red cardstock to match the colours of the card.
Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!

Instead of buying gift tags for your presents this holiday season, why not make them? Making tags is the perfect way to add a personal handmade touch to every gift you give!
To create my tag, I chose a piece of patterned paper from the I Love Christmas Collection Kit from Echo Park and trimmed it down to the size of a gift tag. I hole-punched the top of the tag and added twine and a sentiment from the Kraftin’ Kimmie Holiday Village Stamp set using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink.
To finish it off, I glued some twine ribbon with a twine bow on top of the tag and glued the tag itself on top of a slightly larger piece of brown cardstock to add more interest.

Hello friends and happy Friday! Today’s card is a fun one featuring the Jolly Holly Digital Stamp Set from Kate Hadfield Designs!
To create my card, I first started by sizing my image and making a sentiment using Cricut Design Space. Once printed on Hammermill 100lb Cardstock, I used the following Ohuhu and Copic alcohol markers to colour the image:
Ohuhus:
Reds: R1, R2, R7, R8
Greens: G7, G170, G190
Copics:
Greens: G28
After colouring, I created a background for the card by ink-blending using Twisted Citron Distress Oxide and splattering with Liquitex Titanium White Acrylic Ink.
Using Bearly Art Glue, I finished off my card by adhering my image to the background and then adhering my background to two corresponding coloured mats to compliment the green and red of the wreath.
Thanks for reading. Catch ya next time!

Looking for some easy-to-make DIY Christmas cards this holiday season? Look no further than embossing folders! ❄️🎄
While I don’t often reach for embossing folders (perhaps because I don’t have many), they are one of the easiest ways to take handmade cards to the next level. With so many techniques to experiment with and so many options from a ton of amazing brands, embossing folders really do offer something for everyone, especially during the chaos of the holiday season!
The embossing folder I am using here is the Winter Foliage 3-D Textured Embossing Folder from Sizzix. As for the technique, here is what I did:
Simply rub your ink of choice (I’m using Distress Oxides from Ranger Ink) on the flat side of the folder
Spray your cardstock with water
Run your embossing folder and cardstock through your die-cutting machine for a beautiful, inky look!
Also, simply using your embossing folder with no ink will give a more clean and simple yet still beautiful effect.
Check out the process video posted to TikTok here:
Embossing folders are definitely one of the best ways to make quick and easy Christmas cards this holiday season! 🎄🎄 check out my blog www.sashamakescards.ca to shop the supplies I used! #cardmaking#cardmakingideas#christmas
To finish, glue your card panel to a card base, I used Bearly Art Glue.
Ta-da! It’s that easy to create Christmas cards for your loved ones.
Since I mentioned that there are so many embossing folders available, here are some other beautiful and fun embossing folders perfect for creating quick and easy, no-fuss Christmas and holiday cards:

Hello friends! Today is the start of a new challenge over on the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog! The theme for challenge #584 is Winter Wonderland. This challenge is also the last challenge of the year!
First, I used Broken China Distress Oxide and ink-blended a background panel before running the panel through the Cozy Bear Embossing Folder. After embossing, I used Simon Says Stamp White Pigment Ink to swipe and dab on white pigment to the embossed snowflakes and splattered using Liquitex Titanium White Acrylic Ink.
Once the background was done, I embossed a few scraps of white cardstock and then die-cut the different elements of the bear.
To create this card, I stamped an image and sentiment using Candied Apple Distress Oxide and mounted my card panel on a red mat and A2 card base using Bearly Art Glue.
It is a very easy card to create, yet also a fun one that offers some cheer and joy this holiday season!
