Poinsettia Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Poinsettia Christmas

It's never too early to think about Holiday crafting! If you like to get a jump start on holiday cards, this card by Ellen is sure to give you some inspiration! She even used some retiring products that are on sale right now, a great incentive to go shopping and get ahead on Holiday cards!

This lovely card features the pretty flowers from our retiring Poinsettia Blooms Stamp Set. She colored the beautiful cluster of floral blooms in traditional colors and used the coordinating Poinsettia Blooms Die Set to cut it out. She also colored and cut out a bunch of extra leaves and holly that she placed around the bottom of the image. 

For the fun circle card shape, she used our Circle Frames Die Set to cut out the layers of circles. On the center layer she added a fun tree pattern using our retiring Tiny Trees Stencil. The "Merry Christmas" sentiment was stamped from the The Nutcracker Squeak Stamp Set and added above the image. So fun and festive! 

Note: The Poinsettia Blooms Stamp Set,  Tiny Trees Stencil and  The Nutcracker Squeak Stamp Set are part of our retiring sale and will only be available while supplies last so if you like these products, make sure you get them while you can and don't forget to see what else is retiring in our retiring sale category!

Happy Holiday Slimline Card by Zsofia Molnar

Happy Holidays!

Have you tried making slimline cards yet? If not, you will surely be inpired to try them after seeing this adorable card by by Zsofia! She combined lovely ladies from two holiday stamps on this card. The girl with the box full of decorations is from our Christmas Trimmings Stamp Set and the girl with the loads of gifts is from our Christmas Haul Stamp Set. She colored them both using the lovely red, green ad teal color combo and trimmed them out using their coordinating die sets (Christmas Trimmings Die Set and Christmas Haul Die Set). 

For the card, she created a slimline panel covered in trees by using our Tiny Trees Stencil.  Then she used our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set to add the panel with the tree circle cut outs. These are perfect for framing the two girls on each side. She added the sentiment from the Christmas Trimmings Stamp Set in the center. The stitched green frame around this panel was added using our Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set and trimming out the center pieces. 

Here are a couple of close-ups so you can see the details:

We hope that you enjoyed this adorable card by Zsofia! You can find more of Zsofia's creations and say hello to her over at her blog, Safsafdesign.

The Happiest of Holiday Wishes Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

Happiest of Holidays! 

Today Tatiana has created a fun holiday card filled with bold images! She created this fabulous card by using the little snowflake tag stamp from our Jolly Tags Stamp Set. She stamped the image multiple times in colored inks and then used the coordinating Tags Times Two Die Set to cut the images out. 

For the card base, she created a bold tree background pattern using our Tiny Trees Stencil. Then she layered the tag images over the background, lining them up in rows. For the sentiment she used words from our Main Street Christmas Stamp Set, embossing them in white onto black strips of paper and placing them between the rows of tags! To add some extra special finishing details she added sequins and bits of silver twine to some of the tags! What a fun way to make a simple card feel special! 

Did this card make you want to try stamping bold images?  If you make a card like this, make sure to share it with us on Instagram or in our Create & Share group on facebook so we can see! 

Don't forget to visit Tatiana's blog, Tatiana Craft and Art, for more of her beautiful work! 

Santa Tags for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags

Today we are excited to be part of the 10th Annual 25 Days of Christmas Tags with Tracey McNeely. Today is only Day 3 of this awesome feature so make sure you visit her blog each day to see all 25 days! Today she's featuring the Newton's Nook Design Team on her blog so make sure you head over there to see some more beautiful tags using NND products!

I created a fun set of Santa themed tags to play along! Here's what I created:

I started out by stamping two of the images from our Dear Santa Stamp Set. I colored both of the images using copics and then cut them out using the coordinating Dear Santa Die Set. 

Next, I created a duo of tags using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. This die set is super fun because it includes little mini border dies that you can use to make custom tag shapes. I cut two tags from kraft paper. I wanted to make my tags a little longer to make room for the Santa and the sentiment. To do this, I just cut my white paper the same width as the tag layered it over the bottom. I also used our Land Borders Die Set along the top of the white paper to add the curved snowy hill shape.  I then stamped the sentiments onto the white snowy layer. Along the bottom I added a red scalloped edge using the scalloped border from the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. 

For the top of the tag, I used our Tiny Trees Stencil with white texture paste on green paper to make a textured tree background. From this background I cut two tag toppers using the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. I love how the green ties in with Santa's mittens! I also created the red tag reinforcement shape round the hole using the same die set. A bit of black and white ribbon finishes the tags!

In case you haven't seen these products, here is what I used today:

 Dear Santa Stamp Set and Dear Santa Die Set

Tiny Trees Stencil and Fancy Edges Tag Die Set, and Land Borders Die Set
