Adding Gold to Christmas Cards

Hello! Today I have a video about Adding Gold touches to Christmas Cards. I’m starting with the cutest Cozy Kitties stamp set and plaid stencil from Heffy Doodle.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

First I blended some Evergreen Bough ink onto my panel. Then I added some gold to my background using a gold pen…I just followed the stripes on the stenciled background using a ruler to get it straight.

This Cozy Kitty is just the cutest! I colored the images using Copic Markers. Then I cut out the Merry Christmas sentiment using the striped red paper from Tinsel Town 6×6 Paper Pack from Heffy Doodle. I love the red stripes! You can see I also used the same paper for the mat layer around my panel.

For the shadow layer of the Merry Christmas Sentiment die, I used Gold Metallic cardstock. It’s another easy way to add a touch of gold!

I hope you will check out the video to see all the details of this card coming together.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!






I hope you enjoyed this project today! I’ll be back soon with more cards to share.

How About a Tropical Christmas?

Hello! Today I have a Tropical Christmas slimline card featuring Santa and Mrs. Claus at the beach! I really loved creating this card…I pulled in a Slimline Postage die set to make it feel like a travel/postcard vibe.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I just love these vacationing Clauses! They look so happy with drinks in hand. I gave them a bit of glittery gloss on their sunglasses…movie stars!

I hope you will watch the video to see how this card came together, and to see my cardstock-saving TIP!

Does it snow for Christmas where you are? I think Santa & his wife really deserved this tropical vacation!

Double Oven Slimline Shaker Card

Hello! Today I have a Double Oven Slimline Shaker Card to share and Oh is it awesome! This new die from Whimsy Stamps is one of my new favorites…and I don’t think it’s hard to see why. Just take a look at the video and photos below!

I’ve share all the details and how-to in the video so it’s easy! I love the little oven mitt and potholder. I also used the NEW Baking die set to add in the pie and the turkey (how cute are they)?!?

I do think this slimline oven is the cutest as a shaker card, but you certainly don’t have to make it into a shaker. I added some peppermint embellishments to my shaker (they just remind me of the holidays)!

I just had to make a mint green shaker oven…inspired by my new mini fridge at my office! It’s so cute and retro!

I hope you enjoyed this project today. I sure had a great time making it. I’d love to hear your favorite holiday baking recipes! Leave me a comment below or on the video and tell me…do you make pies?!
