Tracy McLennon’s Christmas Elf Card
Hello, paper crafters, Tracy here sharing my super cute little Christmas Elf card created using Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L® and Stampendous stamps, dies, and glitter.
To start, I stamped and die-cut this super cute elf and gift designs from the Seated Elf Cling Stamps and Dies Set. I coloured the die cuts with Chameleon Pens. With the Dual Tip Glue Pen, I added glitter from the Frantage Encrusted Jewel Kit for detailing on gift box bow and the elf. Finishing touches include lots of dimension using 3D Foam Squares and another hint of silver with the Creative Photo Corners in silver.

Beth Pingry’s Poinsettia Card
Today I have the pleasure of using the Wrapped Poinsettia cling stamp and die set and the Encrusted Jewel White Kit, along with a little bit of gold EP too. And always, Black Creative Photo Corners and 3D Foam Squares for my adhesives.
These stamps and dies are designed to be layered. First I stamped and embossed onto watercolor paper, then colored with watercolor pencils. I brushed in a little bit of water to soften the shades, allowed it all to dry, then die cut.
To create the background I swished watercolor paint onto watercolor paper. Using the Encrusted Jewel Technique, I mixed all the ingredients in the kit (mica, crystal embossing powder, glitter mix, fragments, chunky embossing powder). I spooned it onto two watercolor panels and heated it from the bottom (instructions are included in the kit and on the Stampendous website.)
Wowsers! What a fun and sparkly background technique!
Finish by bending and ‘fluffing’ the pieces of the poinsettia, and adding 3D Foam Squares between the layers to create dimension. I stamped Merry Christmas at the top for a unifying black element. Due to the nature of watercolor paper, I used Premium Double-Sided Tape 1″ to adhere the paper to the light green cardstock.

I’m smitten with Beth’s card. Promise it’s not because we share a name. The coloring,layering and background really appealed to me. I have to try embossing first, coloring second=great tip.

Oh my goodness. That Elf card with the fun polka dot package is so adorable and such beautiful coloring work, it’s so perfect. And that poinsettia in a pot with the beautiful watercolor background is the perfect Christmas Card. What great projects by the designers. Those stamps/dies have to go on my wishlist now that I’ve seen how fun they are.
