Quick and easy Christmas Cards – Stepped up a notch | Video Tutorial

posted in: Blog, Jeni 0

Have I mentioned how much I love this tree stamp from Wrapped and Ready stamp set by Catherine Pooler? Today, I have three cards that feature a die cut window aperture for a quick and easy Christmas card. The video tutorial shows the process for the purple card, with the written tutorials for the 2 other cards below.

I use this tree stamp to make this glitter card and gift tag, and this Spa coloured Christmas card.  All three cards in today’s post use one stamp set, Catherine Pooler inks and various Wow embossing powders. Click any underlined word to visit the shop for these (and more) card making supplies.

Tape a card front and card base together and die cut the tree from Wrapped and Ready stamp set.  Ink blend with Glam ink and flirty Fuchsia ink then spray water drops.  Blot dry with a paper towel after letting the water drops sit for 10 seconds.  Stamp and gold heat emboss the sentiment.  Adhere the card front to a card base.  Stamp and colour the tree stamp from Wrapped and Ready and adhere through the gap to the inside of the card base.
