Santa Mug Card featuring Colorado Craft Company

Christmas in July cardmaking continues, with this card featuring the Santa Cheer Mug stamp set from Colorado Craft Company, designed by Kris Lauren. As a child, I had fond memories of drinking hot cocoa from my favorite Santa mug during the holidays. I now have several shaped holiday mugs in my kitchen cabinet and I bet you do too! Scroll down for a quick chit chat. I'll have my supply list at the end of this post, as well.

I'm using a fairly simple design for this card which is geared towards whipping out multiples of this card. You could also simply stamp the sentiment in the white space, rather than heat embossing which is what I did.

I didn't have the dies that go with this set but the die does cut an open space inside the mug handle, if you prefer the paper peeking through that space.

To make my candy cane look like it was dipped in the whipped cream, I simply placed a large section of masking tape over the whipped cream, then stamped my candy cane and peeled off the tape.

As you can see, I was heavy handed with the sprinkles! I used my Copic marker to add more sprinkles, dotting all over in various sizes. I also used a white gel pen for more embellishment.

I also gave my Santa some rosy cheeks and rosy pink nose.

It took 3 stamps from the set to create this all in one design that I then fussy cut and popped up on adhesive foam strips.

I used a patterned plaid paper from my beloved American Crafts Hot Cocoa paper pad. It's retired, but I'll have a similar pattern listed in my supply list. I'm making it a goal to use up some of what I already have! It gives me a reason to buy something new when I run out! 

I hope this card inspires you to get creative and stay ahead of your holiday cardmaking.

Christmas Cheer Card

Hey crafty friends. I'm sliding in here at the last minute with a card that I created for the July Caffeinated Christmas challenge. I've wanted to play along all month but time slipped away, as today is the last day to link up! I've got a few details on this card that features products from Angie Blom digital designs.

(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.)

 

I used 3 different digital collections to make this card;

Deer Holiday Wishes (stars)

Mixed Media Elements 1 (background elements)

Cheers Everything (holiday beverages, sentiment)

I colored my images with a variety of artist markers (Copic & Olo) and went all around ink blending with my Ranger Distress Oxide ink in Vintage Photo, also a bit in the center.

Also, when placing my mixed media elements, the smear (at the base of my cups) and the lines on lines graphic (background behind cups), I changed my picture format on those images alone to gray. This gives a faded image that I really love when I want other elements to be the focal point. I also flipped my lines on lines graphic upside down where the lines were more minimalistic.

Looking back at the finished print, I wish I'd gone a little bigger with my drinks and my sentiment. Alas, what you see is what you get when you wait until the last minute, haha!

Next, I added some Stickles gold glitter glue to my stars and splattered some Ranger distress mica stain in Wooden Broomstick. I love this stuff, you need it for all the splatters! It's so shiny and dries quickly. 

I also embellished my drinks using a white gel pen. I'm calling my holiday drinks Mexican Hot Chocolate. It looks just like something I would make for the holidays. I have some pure mexican vanilla that I love and I always use that in my drinks, along with the cinnamon. Switch up your coloring on this image and you can call it egg nog, haha!

Lastly, I used a sheet of buffalo plaid paper from my treasured American Crafts Hot Cocoa paper pad as the backing for my card panel. It's discontinued by you can still find it online from sellers on Ebay and Walmart, I think.

This challenge is sponsored by This Calls For Confetti. You've got until 11:55 pm pacific time tonight to link up!

See you next time, Terri

Snowmen on Slopes Card for Scrapbookcom

Hey cardmakers. I've got another card featuring the new Simon Hurley/Ranger Ink release. My lovely peeps from Scrapbook.com sent me the Sketched Snowmen stamp set to create with. I had intentions of getting this out in the blog-o-sphere a lot sooner, but life got in the way, as it is known to do. Scroll down for some quick details, and I'll have my shopping supply list at the end of this post. Plus a COUPON CODE!

I adore creating little winter scenes, and I wanted my focal element to be a ski slope with my snowman on skis. 

First, I ink blended some Ranger Distress Oxide in in Worn Lipstick in a sloped angle on my A2 white mixed media cardstock from scrapbook.com. I also splattered inky droplets of the same ink mixed with a touch of water, above the top of my ink blended slope. 

I also stamped some snowflakes (using the smallest snowflake in the stamp set) randomly onto the upper section of my mixed media cardstock. However I wanted it to be faded in color, so I stamped my snowflake in the ink and then stamped onto scrap paper before using the leftover ink on the stamp to then press onto my cardstock. I also placed tiny dots of Ranger Stardust glitter glue in the center although it's hard to see in these photos.

Next, I hand trimmed a sloped hillside with white and gray paper, stacking them together when trimming, so I could stagger them when adhering to my panel. The gray paper is from my SBC Christmas paper pad and is meant to be a shadow to my white slope. It helps to define the area where my snowman is skiing. 

I also trimmed another section of white cardstock with a different slope which is adhered flat to my card panel. The other two slopes were adhered together but I placed adhesive foam strips behind the gray paper, to pop out my slopes. My skiing snowman is also popped up.

I did some more splattering with the Worn Lipstick mixture on white cardstock and created "signage" for my snowman to hold. I trimmed off his mittens so it appears as if he's holding the sign. 

The colorful papers that you see are from my SBC Merry patterned paper pad.

To color my snowmen, I used a variety of artist markers that I had in my stash and used a white gel pen for additional embellishment.

I didn't have the coordinating die set for this stamp set, so I fussy cut all my images. I'll have both products listed in my supply listed if you're interested in purchasing any of these products.

This card is larger than an A2 size, measuring in at 4 1/2 x 6 inches. I tend to eyeball my work and measure later, haha. There are several wonderful sentiments in my stamp set, but the one I used is probably my favorite Christmas sentiment. And I love the Hallmark movie by the same name!
