Non-Traditional Christmas Card feat. SweetNSassy Stamps

Hello lovelies. Today's card is not your typical Christmas card. I'm creating with products from Sweet N Sassy Stamps, featuring the Christmas Hymn Word Art stamp set and leaves from the Vintage Holly stamp set. If you'd like to know my thought process behind this card, scroll down. There's also a holiday card link up you can join and I'll have details on that further down, as well.




(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)




 
First, I absolutely had to have the Christmas Hymn Word Art stamp set. I'm a church pianist and have a special affinity for hymn songs. The words to this hymn were written by Charles Wesley in 1744. It was actually written as "Come Though Long Expected Jesus" and commonly found in Protestant hymnals. 

I wanted to create a card reflecting old parchment, something out of an old book or old hymnal.

I thought the best way to proceed would be to do some ink smooshing and ink blending which is exactly what I did. This is a mini-slimline card, by the way, and I began by trimming some white cardstock, then stamped my sentiment with hybrid black ink and leaves from the Vintage Holly stamp set using Leather hybrid ink. 

Next, I ink smooshed on all sides using Ranger Distress Oxide ink in Vintage Photo, heat set it, then proceeded to ink blend around all sides with Ranger Distress Ink in Ground Espresso. It's very dark and just what I was going for.



Lastly,  I adhered some gold half pearls and gold sequins from my stash and dotted on some gold glitter glue for more sparkle. 

My card panel is popped up on adhesive foam with a trimmed piece of black cardstock adhered to my mini-slimline card.



I'll share more inspiration with these stamp sets soon. In the meantime, there's a fun linky party you can join at the BYSHC (Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers) Blog. Click here for more details and to link up. Make sure you join their Facebook group too! Sweet N Sassy stamps is one of the hop sponsors and there are a number of other sponsors as well, with prizes up for grabs.

You have until Oct. 27th to link up.  Thanks so much for stopping by. If you'd like more detail on the products that I used or would like to shop for the supplies, I have affiliate shopping links below.  

See you next time. Terri

Winter Floral Card for Scrapbook.com

Hey cardmakers, I've got a card today featuring today's Livestream special from Scrapbook.com. I'm creating with some of the products included in the Winter Floral Christmas Bundle, particularly, the Winter Floral Rub-ons. Scroll down to see everything included in this bundle, along with a few creative details. I'll have product links at the end of this post, as well.




(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)



Scrapbook.com typically has a new livestream every Thursday where they offer up amazing products at significant savings, along with sharing tutorials for creating with those products.

You can watch the Livestreams and replays, here. You should definitely check out the Livestreams in real time when they go live. You can interact and chat and it's a lot of fun! They sometimes have giveaways too!





This week's special bundle includes a set of Winter Floral rub-ons, ergonomic scissors ( I have them and love them!) and the Christmas Block word dies.


 


I chose this gorgeous rub-on wreath, using the wooden stick included in the set to apply to my cardstock. It's so quick and easy to adhere.

I don't have the word dies included in the bundle, so I chose to stamp a sentiment from the Christmas Expressions stamp set and heat embossed with clear embossing ink and white embossing powder. My dark green papers are from the Joyful Paper Pad and the circle was cut using my Platinum 6 and Waffle Flower stitched circle dies.




I also used my Pops of Color for some splatters. I squeezed some of my Olive and Chocolate Kiss gloss colors onto a craft mat. For my Olive, I spritzed a little water and mixed it, grabbed the mixture with a small paint brush and splattered around my card panel.

For the Chocolate Kiss, I simply dabbed the opposite end of my paintbrush into the color and dabbed larger dots onto my panel. Easy Peasy! It dries quickly too.





I love these rub-ons and I know you will too! If you would like more detail on any of the products that I used, or would like to shop, simply click any of the affiliate product links below. This bundle is available for a limited time at the discounted price.

As an affiliate and collaborator for Scrapbook.com, they occasionally send me products at no cost to create with. I hope you've been inspired by today's card. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Terri

Stitched Christmas Card for Spellbinders

The new Spellbinders Stitching Die of the Month club selection is out and I'm absolutely loving it! "I'll Be Home For Christmas" is the titled collection and includes a cover plate (and outline die) with ornament cutouts, a tree, etched sentiments, and even ornament toppers in two different sizes. 



(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)





So many of the elements in this collection can be used independently as well, which I love. There's just something about stitching on cards that seems so meaningful. The extra attention and detail tells the recipient that they were worth the effort, you know what I mean?






I also had a lot of fun sparkling up my card, too. For my ornament toppers, I placed my dies on adhesive foam sheets and ran them through my Platinum 6. Next, I peeled off the top lining and applied a strip of Spellbinders glimmer foil. I love the shine! I also added little dots of glitter glue all over my card panel, as well.

I used white DMC embroidery floss, 2 strands, for my stitched die cuts. There are so many color schemes you can go with on a project like this, however, I chose 3 main colors; white, pink and a mint green.

My coordinating papers are from a Scrapbookcom holiday paper pad called Merry. 



 
It's been such a joy to rediscover my love for stitching. Spellbinders makes it so easy, too. If you'd like to bring this month's stitching collection home, you have until Oct. 27th to sign up. You can cancel at any time, there's no obligation. 

Thanks for popping in today. I have clickable affiliate links below if you'd like more detail on any of the products that I've used, or would like to shop.  See you next time!

Terri
