Before I finish sharing my Easter cards I thought I would share my Christmas cards I finished for our stamp group challenge this month that is use Kraft cardstock on your cards.
I am thinking last month I forgot to do one of my stitched pieces from my Spellbinders 2024 stitched advent calendar, so I made sure I would do one this month and the next door was this cute penguin. Yep I gave him a pink belly :) After embossing the kraft background I directly swiped the background with my white ink pad. The little snowflakes are part of the penguin die set.
- Spellbinders - 2024 stitched advent calendar - penguin, pink floss for the stitching
- Sizzix - Snowflake embossing folder, swiped the raise areas with white ink
- Simon says stamp - Tiny words Christmas sentiment stamp
- Pink & main - Sentiment strip dies
The next two cards uses the same stamp I just stamped them in different areas of the background and one is colored w/markers and the other is colored with pencils.
- Sentimentally yours - Poinsettia Perfection stamp, colored w/markers
- Strathmore - Toned Tan mixed media card stock
- Sentimentally yours - Poinsettia Perfection stamp, colored w/pencils
- Strathmore - Toned Tan mixed media card stock
Next card I stamped the deer in brown ink and then added some clear sparkle pen to just the snowflakes
- Sentimentally yours - Poinsettia perfection stamp set, with clear sparkle pen on the snowflakes
- Kat Scrapiness - Mini Slimline - Stitched Rope die
- White gel pen for snowy background
Lastly I stamped these snowflakes, I am still debating on whether or not to add some white gel pen lines coming down from the top of the card so it looks like they are hanging on from a string or just to leave them floating, what would you do? I also am leaving this under some weight the card did a little bowing after heat embossing the stars and sentiment.
- Sentimentally yours - Poinsettia perfection stamp set, white heat embossing of the star stamps and sentiment
- Strathmore - Toned Tan mixed media card stock
I would like to share my card with the Peace on Earth Challenge
There you have it my Christmas cards are done for this month :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Your penguin's pink belly is so cute! Love that you focused on the Kraft for this batch. Your poinsettias are really pretty, and I absolutely love the slimline with deer!

Your little penguin with his pink stitched belly is adorable with the snowflakes scattered around him, beautiful poinsettias and love the deer and the gorgeous white stars, everything looks so different and beautiful on kraft...

Your cards are all wonderful. That penguin is SO stinkin' cute. I've never seen die cuts with stitching like that. How fun!!
I love ❤️ all of these, Connie.
The pink‑bellied penguin is such a fun twist, and the white‑inked embossing on kraft gives the whole scene a soft snowy feel. The poinsettias look beautiful in both mediums, each with its own mood, and the slimline deer card has such a peaceful, wintry elegance. The embossed stars on the final card really shine against the toned cardstock. Lovely variety and a great showcase of how versatile kraft can be.
So cute.
