Winter Holiday Card – Joy

Posted on September 28, 2021 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
October is so soon, this means it’s the month we start making Christmas cards (many of us are already making though). I will also make and share as many Christmas cards as time permits.

Today I have a couple of winter holiday cards with non Christmas products, lol!

For my first card, I used the Concord & 9th Harvest Wreath set – it’s of course autumn-themed product but with red, green and gold on white, we can make Christmas cards as much as we want, right?!!

I started by stamping Christmas wreath from the C9 Harvest Wreath Turnabout set on white cardstock using C9 Cranberry, Parsley and Clover dye inks. I then cut the outer part of the wreath. I die cut some leaves & berries from white cardstock using the C9 Harvest Wreath die set as well. I mounted the leafy Christmas wreath on the centre of the card using foam tape first, and then added white leafy wreath as shown in the picture. I also added metallic gold ink splatters using Altenew Gold Pearl Metallic Watercolor.

I die cut the word “Joy” from metallic gold cardstock using the SSS CZ Design Joy Script die, then added it on the card.

Here is another “Joy” Christmas card with the Altenew Mini Flower Cluster Layering die set. With this non Christmas product, I used only red & green cardstock.

At first, I die cut flower petals from red & white cardstock. I used SSS Mega Thick White for the base layer, SSS Schoolhouse Red for the second layer and SSS Lipstick Red for the top layer. I then used green cardstock to die cut several leaves. I used C9 Evergreen & C9 Clover for the base layer, SSS Green Apple for the top layer. After die cutting, I adhered the pieces all together using ZIG fine tip glue pen.

I mounted floral wreath on the centre of the A2 sized white card base using foam tape, added metallic gold “Joy” sentiment, jingle bells and opaque white ink splatters.

How about making Christmas cards with your non Christmas products today? I’m sure it’ll be fun! :D

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

PPP Happy Holidays

Posted on September 20, 2021 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends, I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Today I have a couple of Winter holiday cards with some PPP Christmas products. I’m always happy making Christmas cards!

For my first card, I used the Stitched Poinsettias as my main supply.

For my stitched strips background, I was inspired by amazing Dana Kirby’s card. Oh, it’s a really great idea!! Please visit her blog (click HERE). She has so many beautiful cards. :D

I die cut three different sized Stitched Strips from white cardstock first, and then vertically mounted onto white card base using double-sided tape.

I die cut the poinsettias & leaves from watercolour paper using the Stitched Poinsettias dies first, then applied some Distress inks to them:
Poinsettias: Festive Berries & Fired Brick
Green leaves: Evergreen Bough, Crushed Olive, Bundled Sage
After inking, I layered all poinsettias as shown in the picture using foam tape, then added water drops.

I added one large poinsettia on the centre of the card, then added the sentiment “Happy Holidays” & metallic gold drops.

For my second card, I used the Ornament Shaker die. At first, I made snowy winter night background onto an A2 sized watercolour paper panel. I ink blended with Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans, Seedless Preserves and Black Soot Distress inks, then added Sparkle Sheer Shimmer & opaque white ink splatters all around the panel.

Once the panel was completely dry, I added the “Jolly” circle ornament & white scallop frame using foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

PPP Stencil Theme Week: Leaves & Berries

Posted on November 11, 2019 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends!
Today I have a couple of Christmas cards with the Pretty Pink Posh Leaves & Berries Stencil along with other PPP Christmas products.

I started by creating watercoloured Christmas patterns with the Leaves & Berries stencil. I placed the stencil in place onto the 4.25″ x 5.5″ watercolour paper panel, applied red & green Distress inks over the stencil using blender brush – I used Festive Berries for red, Mowed Lawn & Evergreen Bough for green. I then added clean water onto berries & leaves using water brush for watercolour painting effect. Once the panel was dry, I inked all edges of the panel with Antique Linen Distress ink. I also added clear droplets to all berries using Tonic Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops.
I die cut the Stitched Poinsettias from watercolour paper, applied Distress inks, and then assembled them using foam tape. For the sentiment, I stamped it from the Joy set on white cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black, trimmed it down as a fishtail banner.
I’m so in love with the new Stitched Poinsettias die set!!
To top and bottom part of the card, I covered the card over with the Scallop Border Panels to be more feminine.

Here is another card with the Leaves & Berries stencil – white on kraft is definitely my most favourite Christmas card. :D I placed the stencil onto kraft card base in place, applied white embossing paste onto the card.
I die cut “Merry” sentiment tree from watercolour paper using the Tree Shaker die, inked it with Walnut Stain Distress ink. I die cut berry & leaves from watercolour paper using the Festive Holly dies, applied red & green Distress inks as well. I adhered sentiment tree & Christmas berry on the centre of the card using foam tape. I embellished with a few 3mm clear sequins.
STENCIL SECTION on the PPP store is 15% OFF during this theme week!

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day.

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

SSS Christmas Lights

Posted on November 6, 2019 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends, I can’t believe it’s already November. Time really flies, right? And Christmas is coming up so I will share many Christmas cards with you in this month! :D

Today I am featuring the SSS Christmas Bulbs die set along with other Simon’s Christmas dies – Simon has so many amazing Christmas dies!!

I started by making Christmas patterns on kraft card base. I placed the Holiday Sweater stencil onto kraft card in place, applied white embossing paste using craft knife, then let it dry.
Next, I die cut some Christmas bulbs from watercolour paper.
I inked to Christmas bulb die cut with blender brush – these days I’m obsessed with ink blending with brush, I call it “ink brushing”. :)
For these Christmas bulbs, I used Lipstick Red, Green Leaf and Duckling dye inks.
I die cut the Joyful Frame from white cardstock, and then adhered all elements as shown in the picture onto kraft card base using foam tape.
I added some white enamel dots using Tonic Simply White Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Here is another card with the Christmas Bulbs die set.
In this card, I die cut some Christmas bulbs from assorted colour cardstock, then lightly applied white pigment ink to them. For snow-covered light bulbs, I added Tonic White Blizzard Nuvo Glitter Drops.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day.

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!
