Hello Christmas crafty friends! Tracy here and today I have a quick and simple Christmas Tags card that you can create in minutes. Here are all of the festive details.
Let’s Get Started
First I cut a 5×7 white cardstock card base. I cut the plaid patterned paper to 5×7, and the light blue patterned paper to 4.5×6.5. Adhere these layers of the quick and simple Christmas Card together using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.
Next, cut out the coordinating patterned tags that you like. I used Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix at the top of the 2 outside tags, and the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser for the bottom of the tags. This gives that little bit of extra dimension to this quick and simple Christmas card. It also makes adding ribbon or twine to the tags easier.
The Christmas Gift die cut piece and the middle tag are added to the card front using Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix. Again, this adds just a little bit of dimension to the card layers. Add the “Merry and Bright” chipboard sticker to the middle.
Add red tulle ribbon to the middle tag of this quick and simple Christmas card. Then I added just a simple knot of red/white baker’s twine to the other 2 tags. The final touch is to add just a little shine and dimension by adding some coordinating pearls.
Hi, Connie here with a Wonderful Winter card using the wonderful3D Foam adhesives for that wonderful dimension. In my opinion, it’s all wonderful. I’m creating some super cute stamps by KatzelKraft that are wonderful (ok, I’ll stop with the wonderful 🙂 🙂
As always we have a few things to do before we are ready to assemble the card. So let’s get started~
Wonderful Winter Stamp Images
1. Using a stamping platform, stamp the image on white cardstock. 2. Color with pan pastels or a medium of your choice. 3. Color the winter scarf with colored pencils and highlight. Do the same with the hat, and clock. 4. Stamp the trees with light grey ink and use pan pastels to put in the sky and winter sun. Mask off using a circle stencil and using an eraser to remove the pan pastel color.
Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a last-minute Christmas card inspiration. This Oh Deer Christmas Card is very simple to create and even though it does not look that way…trust me, it’s suitable for beginner cardmakers!
The glitter added to the card makes this Deer Christmas card extra elegant. Wanna join me in making the card?
Making the Top Card Panel
Start by trimming a piece of white cardstock to a rectangular shape. Then stamp some pine trees using different shades of green inkpads. For my card, I used water-solvable ink…I will explain later why. Next stamp the sentiment onto the card panel using a black ink pad.
Now stamp some deer onto white cardstock using a black ink pad. Let the images dry and then fussy cut them using a craft knife or scissors.
To add the glitter effect I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Simply apply some glue to the stamped trees and also as a layer of snow under the deer.
Then sprinkle white glitter over the card panel. The magic is that water solvent ink reacts to the glue of the Dual Tip Glue Pen and you will see the ink solve a little bit. This makes the white glitter adapt a little bit of color to the stamped tree. Isn’t that a wonderful effect? It gives your Deer Christmas Card such a lovely effect.
Who can resist this Sweet Slimline Baby Card? Today I am sharing a unique decorative edge card with lots of real estate – enough to fit two elephants on a card front. Lots of curvy shapes and elements to pop up on a card but I have a solution! Use 3D Foam Circles White Mix behind all the hearts and the circle sentiment.
Start on this Sweet Slimline Card Front Background
Using a light blue cardstock, die-cut a slimline card panel. To create interest, stencil around the edges with blue ink.
Layer the Card Front
The elephant-patterned paper was cut into a long card panel. Then cut a green cardstock panel slightly taller than the elephant panel but a little shorter than the stenciled panel.
Place the green panel on the slimline panel with the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispense. Then adhere the elephant panel to the right side of the green panel.
The Sentiment
Cut the letters from the same paper pad. These will be used as a sentiment. Place a 3D Foam Circles White Mix on the back of each letter to pop them up on the left side of the card. So cute!
Finishing Touches
Little hearts were die-cut from blue decorative paper from the same paper pad. Let’s pop the hearts up with the 3D Foam Circles White Mix and randomly place them on the card. I usually pick up the foam circles using an Exacto or craft knife, this makes placement easy, and my big fingers don’t get in the way.
Create a slimline card base that is slightly smaller than the layered card panel and adhere together with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser to finish.
Plus: Stencil: Rubbernecker Stamps (Sand Stencil); Craft Dies: Stampendous/Spellbinders Paper Arts (Frames and Boarders Die Set); Ink: Ranger Ink (Distress Ink); Patterned Paper: DCWV (Baby Boy Stack Paper Pad)
Hello everyone! It’s the time of year that I decide to make a few gift card holders for some extra gifts. This year I came up with this easy-to-make Christmas Holiday Gift Card Holder. The card holder has a pocket inside for a gift card or cash. It’s a good project for leftover pieces of holiday paper. It only takes a few minutes to put together!
Cut Papers for the Holiday Gift Card Holder
Let’s start with cutting the papers needed for the project.
Red Cardstock: 5.5 x 4.25 inches, 2.375 x 1.75 inches, and 0.375 x 5 inches
Cream Cardstock: 5 x 7.75 inches, and 1.5 x 2 inches
Packages Paper: 1.5 x 5 inches
Stripe Paper: 0.75 x 5 inches
Red Patterned Paper: 0.75 x 5 inches
Score & Fold
On 5 x 7.75-inch cream cardstock, score at 2.5 inches and 6.25 inches from one short end. Fold each score line and press with a bone folder. The short flap will be the pocket and the longer one is the top flap.
To the back of the red patterned paper, apply adhesive along one long edge with E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser and place it over striped paper allowing about a 0.125-inch reveal.
Now for the fun part, assembly! On the back of the pocket card, apply E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser along all of the edges. Center the card on the red cardstock and press into place.
Add a few regular sizes of the Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on the back of the matted verse keeping it slightly above the bottom edge. Peel the liners off and place the verse over the band on the card front, allowing the bottom edge to extend below the flap edge.
All that’s left is to tuck in a gift card! Change up the patterned papers, stamps, and cardstock colors to create this gift card holder for another occasion.
Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a sweet and simple layered masculine birthday card to share. I created this card specifically for a very sweet little 1-year-old in our lives, who just had a buffalo plaid-themed birthday. Here are all of the details.
Start with Layers
Cut the card base from white cardstock to measure 5 x 7 inches. The buffalo plaid patterned paper was cut to 4.75 x 6.75 inches. Adhere this to the card base using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser.
Next, cut the remaining layers for the Layered Masculine Birthday card: white cardstock to 4 x 6 inches, and yellow patterned paper to 3.75 x 5.75 inches.
Adhere the printed “Happy” banner to the card using Crafty Foam Tape Black. I added white letter stickers to mint patterned paper, then added that to the card using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.
Hi there, Martha Lucia here with you today with a quick and easy idea to create reusable place cards. This idea can be easily used in your holiday tables or for any occasion.
Make the Place Card Base
For these place card holders I’m going to be using frame dies. You can also use doily dies if you prefer it more detailed. You will need to grab a frame or doily die and two circles or ovals according to the design that you plan to create.
In my samples, I am using an oval design and a circle design. The two plain circles or ovals need to cover the free area or negative space of the frame and be a little smaller to decorate the inside part of the place card. In addition, you can die-cut some foliage to accent the place cards.
Adhere the large circle or oval behind the frame using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. It’s dry clear and very fast.
To personalize the place cards, die-cut letters to spell out your guests’ names. The most important point is that you can make the letters changable so you have the flexibility to switch the names around.
To make my letters. I used a sheet of Adhesive Sheets 4×6 inch. Simply pull back the yellow liner, place the foil paper facing up on top of the adhesive, cover the liner back on top of the paper and rub the adhesive to transfer it to the paper. Then, I removed the paper and adhere it to the black cardstock for support.
Place the letter dies on the foiled paper side and run it through the die-cutting machine 2-3 times. Gently remove the die-cut word.
Now to spell out the guests’ names. First, apply the letters with E-Z Dots® Repositionable Dots on the back and add them to the place card. They will be secured on your place cards. Then after the event, you can remove them and use them for another occasion or spell out a different name.
I hope you enjoyed this place card idea, and give it a try at your next event. Thanks for Visiting!
Hi, everyone! Ready to ring in the New Year? How about sending a little cheer to help a favorite person kick off 2023?! Teri here to show you how to make a Happy New Year Frame Card you can just that with!
Make the Frame and the Card Base
Start by creating a background paper with ink and a stencil. Don’t feel like getting inky? Pick a patterned paper out and use it instead.
Add a large 3D Foam Frame to the panel. Cut around it with scissors and then add foil to the frame. If you miss a spot, don’t worry. Just take your foil sheet and burnish some more foil onto the frame.
Mount the panel onto a larger panel of patterned paper and then onto a card. Stamp a New Year’s-themed sentiment on top.
Complete the Card with Tags and Embellishments
Take a couple circle tags. Sponge some ink onto them and then add some foam stars and adhesive stars to them. Apply foil to the stars.
Arrange the tags so they all connect. Add string to one of them. Place foam squares on the back of them and add them to your card.
Finish your card by adding some sequins and small pompoms to it. Don’t have these? Try using some small gems instead. Adhesive Dots are great for holding small embellishments in place. Remember, place the dot on your card and then set the embellishment on top.
I hope you are inspired to make some New Year’s cards of your own!
Hi everyone, Yvonne here with a quick and easy way to create a sparkly Christmas tree card. The holiday season is coming up, so time for some Christmas card inspiration. The 3D Foam Trees are such a whimsical design that makes this Christmas card a playful twist.
Using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside concept creates a stunning effect on your card. And…the great thing is, this card is also suitable for beginner cardmakers. Join me in making the card!
Making the Card Base
For my card, I chose the colors white and gold, a great combination for your festive Christmas cards.
Let’s start with an embossed white cardstock panel. Simply put a piece of white cardstock between an embossing folder and run through your die-cutting and embossing machine.
Die-cut and emboss a decorative edge rectangular panel from the brushed gold cardstock. Center one of the largest trees and two of the smallest trees on each side of the large tree from the 3D Foam Trees to the gold panel.
Now for the fun part! Remove the top liners from each of the trees and cover them with white glitter. Press the glitter into them to secure and tap off the excess. Maybe use a small brush to remove the stubborn glitter.
We refer to this technique as Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside. It brings out our adhesives from underneath layers and to the front to shine as embellishments. Easy, right? Perfect idea for holiday kids’ crafts!
Finishing the Christmas Card
To add more dimension, adhere the embellished front panel using Crafty Foam Tape White to the layered card base.
Using a sentiment sticker, place it on a white cardstock banner. Next, add it to the card front, using Crafty Foam Tape White. For the finishing touch, colorful rhinestones adhered to the glittered trees for an extra festive effect on this Sparkly Christmas Tree card.
And voilá… your Sparkly Christmas Tree card is ready to be sent! I hope you enjoyed this simple tutorial and wish you happy holiday crafting!
