"Merry Christmas"
Poinsettia Holly Snowflake Festive Garland
 Card by Leigh
 
I've got a wonderful Christmas card to inspire you today featuring the Poinsettia Holly Snowflakes Festive Garland digi stamp from my new Poinsettia and Holly Christmas Collection.
 
 
The Poinsettia Holly Snowflakes Festive Garland digi stamp combines traditional poinsettia and holly imagery with contemporary snowflakes that will make your Christmas cards look both elegant and whimsical!  I had such fun making today's card inspiration!
 
I coloured the Poinsettia Holly Snowflakes Festive Garland digi stamp in Adobe Fresco and printed out the finished artwork for my card.  I then cut mat layers from white cardstock and Crafter's Companion patterned matte and glossy mirror card and adhered everything to a top fold card base I made from heavy weight white cardstock.
 
 
I used a large Crafter's Companion "Merry Christmas" metal die to cut the sentiment out of the same patterned matte and glossy mirror card with double sided adhesive applied to the back.  The metallic gold adds such rich elegance to my festive Christmas card and to also give it a touch of pretty sparkle I applied Crystal Stickles glitter to the poinsettia flower and snowflake centers too.

Meowy Christmas
Santa Puss Card
by Leigh
 
You got a peek at our makes for the release of my upcoming Loveleigh Kitties Collection and now I'm here today to share more of my stunning Christmas make featuring Santa Puss who is whimsically adorable on my slimline card that's both playful and sparkly elegant!
 
 
I printed out Santa Puss then fussy cut him out with scissors leaving a narrow white border around the image.  I coloured him up with Copics and Prismacolor pencils and added white gel pen highlights.  For lots of pretty sparkle I painted his fluffy tail, beard and Santa hat pompom and trim with a Spectrum Noir clear glitter pen and his metal belt buckle with a gold glitter pen from the Sprectrum Noir paint pen - Collector's Edition Set #2.
 
 
I then stamped the "Meowy Christmas" sentiment with metallic gold pigment ink, fussy cut it out with scissors and mounted it onto a shadow mat layer cut from dark red cardstock.  I've had the rubber stamp in my stash forever and think it's either a Rubbernecker or possibly A Country Welcome stamp.
 
 
To make my slimline card I used a sheet of the Silver decorative digi paper from my new Poinsettia and Holly Precious Metals Decorative Digi Paper Pack printed onto cardstock, Scrapbook.com white glitter paper and the Crafter's Companion Holly and Berries nesting die set
 
 
 I made a 9" x 4" slimline folded card from dark red cardstock and cut the large background mat layer from my Silver Poinsettia and Holly Precious Metals digi paper just a bit smaller.  The decorative Holly and Berries die panel is cut from the white glitter paper which I then adhered to another panel cut from white cardstock.  The top center die cut panel is also cut out from my Silver digi paper which I then matted onto dark red cardstock to make the holly and berry border pop.
 
 
 To give the finished make lots of fun dimension I adhered the top panel, the sentiment and Santa Puss to the card with black foam tape.

Visions of the Season Inspiration: "Santa Puss" Christmas Card by Val

  🍁 Happy November Creative Friends 🍁
 
I was so excited about my upcoming 2024 Loveleigh Kitties Collection that I couldn't resist releasing my first kitty, Santa Puss, at the end of October...see the release post HERE😻
 
Santa Puss
Christmas Card
by Val
 
You got a peek at our makes for the release and now Val is back today to share more about her gorgeous Christmas card featuring the new Loveleigh Kitties Santa Puss!
 
 
Santa Puss is whimsically adorable on Val's fun and festive Christmas card.  She printed out the Santa Puss kitty onto white cardstock and coloured him up with Promarkers to look like he's wearing a full Santa suit and added white gel pen details.  She then fussy cut him out and to give him a more masculine look she trimmed off the fluffy tail and then applied Distress Clear Rock Candy Glitter with a Quickie Glue Pen to the fur and pompom on Santa's hat for lots of festive sparkle.  She also printed out the "Merry Christmas" senti from the A Charming Christmas Compendium of Festive Sayings, coloured the cardstock with a red Promarker and then fussy cut the senti out.  Next she printed out the Rose Gold design from the Poinsettia and Holly Precious Metals Decorative Digi Paper Pack pack and cut a slimline panel for the background.  She applied red Craft Artist Magic Powders to the outer edges of the panel then mounted it onto a slimline side fold card made from heavy weight cardstock.  She then adhered Santa Puss and the sentiment to the card front with foam tape to give it some fun dimension.
