by simplycraftydesigns in Uncategorized

Hello my crafty friends! I have been a busy bee creating many different handmade Christmas cards for this year. I wanted to share some of my cards I just finished. I made five Christmas cards using Spellbinder Glimmer plates and Tim Holtz snowflakes thinlits. And then I took the negative and made four more cards. I post everything down bellow.

Here’s the first five cards I made using Spellbinder glimmer plate called snowflake sparkle background and their silver foil with my glimmer machine.
It only took a few minutes to create five backgrounds. Card-stock used are navy blue, light blue and sky blue #110 wt. With silver foil made by spellbinder.
I took Tim Holtz distress oxides prize ribbon, blueprint sketch and mermaid lagoon and started blending around the outside of my cards. Took a dry paper towel and wipe some off the foil part.
Cut all the snowflakes out with Tim Holtz flurry #4 #663115 and TH #661599 snowflakes thinlits with Recollections silver foil card-stock paper. Also cut white glitter card stock and use Simon says stamp Merry dies #czd41.
Other products used are spellbinder Essential rectangles dies, my favorite things frames dies, circle die and white #110 card stock.
Now here are the other four cards I made with the negative foil from the first set of cards I did.
Solid plate is from pinkfresh hot foil plate, I layer down the negative foil down on the plate, then white card stock and run it thew my Sizzix machine and it came out beautiful on my cards stock.
Took sizzix circle die, frame die and run threw my vagabond.
Also used spellbinder glimmer plate called elegant holiday glimmer sentiments we wish you a Merry Christmas with red, green and silver foil. Place on my vagabond and cut out.
Here’s are the four cards I made and I love the way they came out. They shine so beautiful.
Also use some sequins for the cards.

Hello my crafty friends! The other day my husband and I were out Christmas shopping. We were near a Joann craft store, so I wanted to see if they had any of Tim Holtz 2021 Christmas products. The only thing I came across was this collage paper Christmas/Noel. I was so happy to get that. I live in a small town and our Joann don’t carry any of Tim Holtz products. I always order on line or go to a Joanns out of town. Came home and couldn’t wait to play with his Christmas collage paper.

Merry Christmas
I cut out what I wanted to used, then I took Tim Holtz Stitched Rectangles thinlits #661189 and place on collage paper and run it threw my vagabond. Took 110 wt. white card stock and modpodge gloss which is a water base sealer, glue place on collage paper and let air dry.
Used Tim Holtz tattered poinsettia big die #658261, large Funky festive thinlits #664221 and 3-D texture fade foliage #665252. Plus I used Tim Holtz distress oxides candied apple, rustic wilderness and vintage photo.
Merry Christmas is from Tim Holtz Holiday Words: Script #660058.
I always do something inside the card to match the front. And I like to write a personal note when It comes to Christmas.
Here’s everything I used….

Hope you guys try this technique too. With anything you have in your stash. Thank you for checking out my blog. Have a wonderful day and weekend.

Handmade Christmas Snowflake Cards (2021)

16 Nov 2021 1 Comment

by simplycraftydesigns in Uncategorized

Hello my crafty friends! The second week of the month I always meet with a great group of crafty women. So I decided to start working my Christmas cards for this year. I always make four to five cards when I design a card. But I make each card different meaning colors or saying. Then I designs more cards for Christmas that our different. Until I get at least 80 cards done for Christmas this year, plus more to have extra. Here is my first set of cards I made.

Let it Snow, Joy and Hello Winter
I found this Snowflake Die on Amazon, fell in love with it and so I purchased it. I also found a couple more dies too and purchased them. When I make more Christmas I’ll post them.
I took the snowflake die, tape it down on water color paper and used it like a stencil. Took Tim Holtz distress oxides salvaged patina, wild honey and specked egg, blended the colors together. I love the look I got when I lift the die up.
I also took the snowflake die and ran it thew my vagabond, cut out two snowflakes on 110 white card stock. Then I used recollections glitter paste and cover the snowflakes. The glitter paste gave it a beautiful shimmer look to my snowflakes. I let air dry. Once dried I glue my snowflakes cut out to my background.
Took Tim Holtz Thinlits set called Festive words #667775 cut out on some shimmer paper and blended the same distress oxide colors I used on background. Add some sequin mix from Picket fence studios Spring fling SQ-129 to my card.
I really love the way this card came out, so I did another one with the same color but put a different saying on this one. Still Tim Holtz Thinlits Hello winter.
Tim Holtz distress Oxides I used here are peacock feathers, cracked pistachio and mermaid lagoon.
Tim Holtz distress oxides here on this card is broken china, hickory smoke and prize ribbon.

The technique I did is very simple, just ink your stamps and then spray water on it. Gentle lay stamp on water color paper. Let set for a few seconds. Remember to pick the stamp straight up and quick. This gives you a beautiful water color look to your cards.
On two of the cards I blended the distress oxides around the flowers to give it a soft look.
List of other products used are: Tim Holtz idea-ology kraft stock metallic jewels, DCWV glitter pastels card-stock. Gina K designs dies thankful and hugs. Kane Burniston die #1066- Thank you. Memory Box steel craft dies wrapped stitch rectangles. And the two stamps I used are rubberneckers red tulips and cherry blossoms, I also used Tim Holtz clear Stickles to give the flower a gloss look.
