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.

ThankfulHugsThank you
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.
I hope you try this technique with any stamps and ink you may have in your stash. Please leave me a like or comment or follow me on my blog. Have a wonderful day everyone.
