    House-Mouse Christmas Card Ideas to Try!

    September 4, 2023 / No Comments

    Hey there, friends! It’s Leica, and I’m excited to share three lovely Christmas cards with you, all featuring stamp sets from the adorable House-Mouse collection. This collection is just beautiful, and I’ve created coordinating cards using the same colors. I’m even thinking of giving this card set as a gift to a friend! For my first card, I stamped the Mistletoe Kiss Cling Rubber Stamp Set on a white cardstock panel and colored it with Copic markers. I used Crimson cardstock to make a border around the image and for the sentiment, which I heat embossed in white. To add a sweet touch, I included a bow in gold cardstock…

    Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Leica, and I’m super excited to share three adorable cards using products from the fantastic new Gnome Drive collection. Trust me, this collection is loads of fun! To create these cards, you’ll need the main die set called Gnome Drive Holiday Etched Dies. It’s a set of 13 thin metal cutting dies featuring everything you need, from the charming Gnome himself to a super cute convertible to take him around town in style! Plus, you’ll find iconic Christmas shapes like Christmas trees, presents, bows, and more. As Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday, my first card showcases the Gnome Drive Holiday Etched Dies.

    Shaped Christmas Cards Made Easy!

    July 22, 2023 / 4 Comments

    Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Leica here, and today I want to share three unique Christmas card ideas with you. These cards are different from the usual rectangular shape. Spellbinders has a great variety of shape dies, and the largest die from any set works perfectly as a card panel. Plus, they fit nicely inside an A2-sized envelope! For all three cards, I used the largest dies from each set. I cut the bigger shape out of colored cardstock and the smaller one out of white cardstock. To add some texture, I ran all the white panels through a die-cut machine using the Vintage Ornaments 3D Embossing Folder. As for…

    Limited Edition Stitching Die & Stamp 2 Ways – Inspiration With Michelle Short

    October 31, 2022 / 3 Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the Limited Edition Stitching Die & Stamp Collection. I have two cards to share with you today. A Christmas card with simple stitching and then an everyday card with the stitching stepped up a little. The great thing about the Layered Stitched Diamonds Dies is that you can mix and match different components to have lots of stitching or less stitching, for different looks. There is also a stitched rectangle die that can cut the whole panel out. MERRY CHRISTMAS STITCHING For my first card, I took the base layer of Layered Stitched Diamonds, as well as the rectangle die,…

    Nordic Ornaments 3 Ways Christmas Cardmaking With Michelle Short

    September 22, 2022 / 2 Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the Nordic Ornaments Etched Dies from the Winter Tales Collection by Zsoka Marko. The whole collection is amazing, but I am focusing on the Nordic Ornaments today to share three different ways to use them. SEASON’S GREETINGS For my first project, I wanted to go with a Nordic feel, so I chose a color palette of red and blue, with lots of white space. I die-cut the longer of the two Nordic Ornaments twice from Cosmic Sky, Glacier and Poppy Field Cardstock. The toppers were die cut using Brushed Silver Cardstock. I assembled and adhered them using Bearly Art Glue,…
