It is my turn on the Pink and Main blog to show you some super cute inspiration for the upcoming holidays.
I was scrolling through my stash and I found the gorgeous Bubbly Border die set which I have never used before. I die cut the outline die from Sparkle sheets and the bottom part from plain white and green cardstocks. I layered them on top of each other and adhered them to a stitched rectangle I cut from kraft cardstock.
For the focal image I used one of my favourite stamp sets called Santa Paws. I stamped, coloured and die cut the kitty with the tree and popped it up on a white Nested Hexagon. I layered a red scalloped one under it to make it more festive.
The sentiment I stamped in green and added some clear shimmer to the santa hat, presents and Christmas baubles. I finished this cute scene with glossy accents on the bows and ornaments. I adhered it all to a white card base and I was done with this cute holiday card.
I wish you liked my inspiration today and will check back again soon. Until next time, happy crafting!
I am here with you with my weekly inspiration for Pink and Main. I brought you a clean and simple yet super cute Christmas card.
I stamped and coloured the cute snowmen from the Snow Sweet stamp set using Copic markers. I cut them out with the coordinating dies. What I love the most about Pink and Main dies apart from being pink is that they come separated. No need to cut them apart.
For the background I chose patterned paper from the Jolly paper pad. I also die cut 3 white Reverse scallop circles and stacked them together. One of the inner parts I inked up with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and paper pieced it in the middle.
The holiday sentiment is from the Howliday stamp set, I stamped it above the snowmen with red ink and above it the Snow word from Snow Sweet.
I covered their outfit with clear shimmer and added glossy accents to the noses and ice.
I hope you liked my card today and will pop in again soon for more inspiration. See you soon,
I am back today with a very easy technique to create stunning Christmas cards. This design is also easy to mass produce! I used products from Pink and Main.
I took a piece of watercolour paper and white heat embossed almost all the snowflakes from the Flurries stamp set. I used a stamp positioner so I had to find the arrangement only once and it allowed me to stamp again and again.
Then I sprinkled some Violet Brocade Shimmer Powder on one panel and Lilac Waterfall on the other. I spritzed it with water and let the colours spread. I heat set it with my heat tool and repeated the process.
For the background I added some Tonic Shimmer powder on Ranger Distress Watercolor paper. I spritzed it with water and let the colours move and mix. I dried it with my heat tool and cut the panel down with the postage stamp die from Frameworks.
I stamped and coloured the snowmen with Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating die.
I also cut a white postage stamp panel and used the Land border die to cut a snowbank.
On a small white ticket shaped piece I heat embossed the sentiment with WOW Metalline Dark Blue Embossing powder. Before assembling the card I heat embossed some snowflakes in white on the background.
I popped up the sentiment and snowmen with 3D foam squares and added some clear shimmer to the accessories.
I used glossy accents on the noses an buttons and a black glaze pen on the eyes.

I stamped and coloured the penguins and the ice from Penguin Pile first using Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies.
I added Ranger Crackle Accents to the ice piece and set it aside to dry.
I adhered them to a thin strip of white cardstock with 3D foam squares and matted it peacock cardstock. For the background I chose a colourful patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs.
The sentiment I white heat embossed on a pink banner which I cut with the Frames and flags die set. Under it I adhered a thinner flag cut with the same die set from patterned paper.
After assembling the card I used glossy accents on the feet and beaks, a black glaze pen on the eyes of the penguins and added some clear shimmer to the scarves and caps.
CARD 2
I white heat embossed the Let it snow sentiment on Bristol Smooth cardtsock 3 times under each other. I used a blending brush to add a soft layer of colour: Blueprint Sketch, Peacock feathers and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide inks.
I cut it down to be 2 and 3/4 inches wide and matted it with Blue Violet cardstock. I added clear shimmer to the snow part to make it more festive. I love how the oxide inks react with water!
On a white card base I used the Snowfall stencil with Gina K Designs Glitz Glitter gel in white. I love the pretty sparkle and tone on tone effect! It gave the perfect background for my ink blended sentiments panel, don’t you think?

I started with stamping and colouring the kitties with Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies.
The scene I created directly on a white card base made of Neenah Solar White 110 pounds cardstock. I used a Life Changing brush from Picket Fence Studios to add Salty ocean and Blueprint sketch distress oxide inks on the top and then laid the Mountains stencil on the card base I added a light layer of Black Sooth Distress Oxide ink.
The snowy hills I created with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and spritzed it with Avery Elle Shimmer Spritz for a subtle sparkle.
I heat embossed some snowflakes from the stamp set on the sky in white and added the snowcaps with the help of the Mountains stencil and white texture paste.
The sentiments I stamped on white Speech Bubbles which I cut down to size with the partial die cutting technique. The kitties I popped up with 3D foam squares and added a bit of clear shimmer to their caps and scarves.

I am back today with another set of cute tags for the 25 days of Christmas tags event by Tracey McNeely. This time we are all showing you tags made with Pink and Main products.
I really love shaped tags and the cute owl on the wreath from the Howlidays stamp/die set was fantastic for this. I stamped it on heavy weight white cardstock, coloured with Copic markers and cut it out with the coordinating die.
I cut another piece and made a fold line a quarter inch from the top. I adhered it to the back of the coloured piece and used my Crop-a-dile to punch a whole and added a golden eyelet.
The sentiment I heat embossed on black cardstock and cut around it with my scissors. After adhering it to the wreath, I used Gold Glitter drops from Nuvo and glossy accents to embellish it. I finished it with chunky red twine from Tonic.
I hope you enjoyed these little ones and will pop in again soon for more inspiration. For details on the 25 days of Christmas tags event please visit Tracey’s blog!
For my card I stamped the image with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. I used Tombow markers to add colour.
I trimmed around the coloured image with my paper trimmer leaving a bit of white frame. I matted it with a light blue scalloped stitched square which I cut with the Frames Squared die set.
The background is a snowflake patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs, I popped up the focal panel on this with 3D foam squares.
As a finishing touch I added pink twine on the top of the card and used glossy accents on the buttons and carrot noses.

I stamped and coloured the critter with Copic markers and cut it out with its coordinating die.
For the tag itself I used the Fancy Edges Tag die set. I cut the base from white cardstock and from patterned paper (Doodlebug). I cut the topper from green cardstock and a snowbank plus the reinforcer from white glitter cardstock. For the snowbank I used the Sea border die set.
After assembling the tags, I white heat embossed the sentiment above the deer.
A couple of white gel pen dots and a bit of glossy accents on the nose and bow made it even cuter. For the berries I used Nuvo drops. The eyes are shining because of the black glaze pen. I finished them with thick green twine from Tonic.
I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration. If you want to play along, please read the guidelines on Tracey’s blog. There are amazing sponsors!
I stamped, coloured and die cut the guy and the coffee mug from the Timber set. I also stamped a few pine branches with green ink and die cut them also with the coordinating dies.
I chose a pretty patterned paper form the Be brave paper pad and die cut a fancy tag with a Stitched Top Note die. I cut a smaller one from navy blue cardstock and arranged the die cut images on them.
The sentiment is from the Fall friends stamp set, stamp in black on a thin strip of orange cardstock. I popped it up with 3D foam squares an added some star sequins to the night sky.
After adhering it all onto a dark grey 4,25 inches square notecard, I added glossy accents to the coffee mug to make it pop.
