Merry Christmas Mouse Cards | Naughty Mice Stamp Set


In real life, I do not like mice. I have stories about mice that no one wants to hear. But, I've made a special exception for the adorable mice on the Naughty or Mice Stamp Set! I mean seriously, when they look so cute with Christmas hats and candy canes, who can resist?!

I began by stamping a few of the mice onto Neenah 110 lb white cardstock with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black. I then colored them with Chameleon Pens. Next, I used the coordinating Naughty or Mice dies to cut out the mice.

For the background on each card, I used the Frames and Flags die set to cut a large frame from green cardstock.  On the first card I die cut a tag from red cardstock using the Fancy Edges Tag die set. On the second card I used a stitched oval die as the base for my design.

I used the Sentiments of the Season stamp set for each of the sentiments and then die cut them using the stitched banner die from the Frames and Flags die set.

12 Days of Christmas Scrapbook.com | Elegant White and Gold Card

It's the 12 Days of Christmas at Scrapbook.com and I'm excited to share another day of inspiration using today's freebie. Today it's the Spellbinders Just For You Die and Clear Acrylic Stamp Set. Scrapbook.com sent me this freebie to create with and I used it to create an elegant white and gold Just For You card. For more info about the 12 Days of Christmas keep reading.



Elegant White and Gold Card | Spellbinders Just For You Die and Stamp Set


The front panel is a piece of gold foil cardstock trimmed to 4.25 x 5.5 inches. I then layered an embossed panel created using the Spellbinders Symmetry in Space Die and one of my favorite techniques...embossing with a die! I love how easy it is to do this with the various plates included with the Spellbinders Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine. I recently used this same die to create a Halloween Witch Card.

To continue with the elegant theme, I added a piece of white and gold ribbon along the center of the embossed panel. 

Here is the Spellbinders Just For You Die and Stamp Set that is today's freebie and what I used on this card.

Next, I used the die included in the Just For You set and cut it from white cardstock. I then stamped the sentiment using Versamark Embossing Ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.

The final touch was the addition of a matching bow!

Die Cut Card Background Tutorial | Scrapbook.com 12 Days of Christmas

Hello friends and welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas with Scrapbook.com! I'm so excited to share a little inspiration using today's featured FREEBIE - which is a Lawn Fawn Petite Paper Pack! For a bit of inspiration, I'm sharing a Die Cut Card Background Tutorial using this paper pack and some other fabulous Lawn Fawn goodies. After you check it out, keep reading to learn all about Scrapbook.com's 12 Days of Christmas.

Die Cut Card Background Tutorial | Lawn Fawn Watercolor Petite Paper Pack and Stitched Hearts Stackables Die Set


I've been doing so many Christmas cards lately, I thought it would be fun to switch gears and do something totally different. I pulled out the Bicycle Built For Two Stamp Set and was inspired to create a fun little wedding card. After stamping and coloring the images with Chameleon Pens, I die cut them and layered them to create the little scene. Once this was finished, I set it to the side and began work on the background.

The Lawn Fawn Watercolor Petite Paper Pack is seriously gorgeous and because the papers are monochromatic, they are great for layering and creating backgrounds. Yes, I could have just cut a rectangle of paper and used it as the background. However, as I've already mentioned, I was in the mood for mixing things up a bit. I thought it would be fun to create a Die Cut Background for my card.

I began by die cutting a bunch of hearts using the Stitched Hearts Stackables Die Set. For this card, I used the middle and smallest sized hearts.

After I was finished die cutting, I began layering them onto a piece of white cardstock cut to to fit the front of the card. Feel free to make this piece any size you desire for your card. My finished card was 4.25 x 5.5 inches so I only used one sheet of paper to cut out all of the hearts.

Once I was pleased with the placement of each heart, I adhered them to the white cardstock.

The final step was to trim the hearts hanging over the outside edge. Now the Die Cut Background is complete and ready to adhere to the card base.


After I had finished the die cut background, I layered it onto a slightly darker piece of paper from the Lawn Fawn Watercolor Petite Paper Pack to give it a little contrast.

Next, I added the sentiment to a strip of white cardstock. For the final touch, I adhered the sweet little couple using double sided foam adhesive to give it a bit of dimension.

Peppermint Kisses Card | Newton's Candy Cane


Today we have 2 new stamp sets to reveal and this first one is the ever adorable Newton! Check out how cute he is hugging the candy cane! I stamped and colored him using Chameleon Pens and die cut him with the coordinating dies. I then added a few extra peppermints to bring some extra sweetness to the design.

I then adhered him to a cardstock tag created using the new Fancy Edge Tag Die Set.  The tag was then layered onto a piece of cardstock die cut using a frame from the Frames & Flags Die Set.

Using the mint and heart stamps, I created my own background paper. I stamped them randomly onto a piece of cardstock using Versamark Embossing Ink and then heat set them with clear embossing powder.

Fa-La-La-La-Llama Christmas Card | Special Delivery Stamp Set


The second set today features one of the most adorable creatures ever....a llama! I mean, who doesn't love a llama?! I went pretty simple with this card design. I stamped the image and colored it using Chameleon Pens.

The white cardstock piece was created using one of the frame dies from the new Frames & Flags Die Set. I then cut another piece of white cardstock to create a snowy hill using the Land Border Dies. 

I stamped the sentiment onto the hill and then adhered the llama and present using double sided foam tape. For some extra texture, I embossed a piece of kraft cardstock using an embossing folder then layered everything together and attached it to the card base.

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the Newton's Nook Designs November Release Blog Hop! Today we have a new set to share that is perfect for all the dog lover's out there. 

Ready Set Snow Card | Winter Woofs Stamp Set


I began by stamping and coloring the cute husky on the sled from the Winter Woofs Stamp Set using Chameleon Pens. I then die cut him using the coordinating dies. The background was created using the Snowfall Stencil with Distress Oxide in Salted Ocean and Faded Jeans. I die cut the background using the new Frames & Flags Die Set and created a snowy hill using the Land Border Dies.

The sentiment was stamped onto a banner from the Frames & Flags Die Set and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then matted everything onto a piece of red cardstock die cut using the Frames & Flags die once again. As you can tell, I'm loving this new die set!
