HEY FRIENDS! It’s World Cardmaking Day! Now there’s a holiday that I can get behind! And since I’m in full holiday cardmaking mode, I have a simple Christmas card to honor the day featuring the Layered Merry Christmas Foliage stencil set by Spellbinders. Since the design is stenciled, this would be an easy card to make in bulk for the holidays. I stuck with traditional Christmas colors, but non-traditional color palettes would work just as well.

This card is really easy to put together. I’ve created a short video showing you the stenciling portion of the card.
Since I work on a Glassboard, I usually hold down my stencils with magnets. However, there wasn’t enough of a margin on the stencil so I simply held the stencils in place with Pixie Repositionable Tape. It’s a low tack tape and peels off cleanly. I also used domed foam blenders for the ink blending. Since they’re relatively inexpensive, I can have a blender for each ink pad rather than a blender for each color family.

December Doodles | Stampers Anonymous – Tim Holtz [ SSS ]
This card really was quick and easy to put together and you could use the same layout for any of the stamps in the set. For the background, I used the Nesting Rectangle Infinity Dies to cut three panels from Hammermill cardstock. The largest panel was stenciled using Distress Ink in Lost Shadow and the Holiday Knit Stencil. On the smallest panel, I stamped the Santa image and sentiment using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink and colored the hat with TWO Copic markers (R24 and R46). The layers were assembled as shown. It really doesn’t get much easier than this!
HEY FRIENDS! Today I have something a little different – a card with absolutely no Copic coloring! I pulled some dies and paper out of my stash, including the Corbel Collage Wafer Die by Simon Says Stamp. I love the beautiful tree design and while it would also be lovely as an inlaid design, I decided to keep it quick and simple with some ink blending. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.
Next, I cut a scrap of Hammermill cardstock and ink blended it using Distress inks in Rustic Wilderness, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron (I don’t remember the exact dimensions, but it was sized slightly larger than the size of the Corbel die).
