Rustic Christmas Star

Hello Friends and Happy Thursday! The Countdown to Christmas is on, with only 7 more sleeps until the big day.  Are you winding down your shopping, gift wrapping and food plans?  

Today I'm sharing a Rustic styled Christmas Card that was quick and easy to make. I let simple die cuts, textures and plaid do all the work.


I needed a masculine card and I love plaid for guy cards.  Using items from my stash, I die cut a panel of kraft card, embossed it with a Swiss Dots embossing folder and die cut a star from the panel. I tied Baker's Twine around the panel and adhered to a plaid patterned mat.


I die cut a smaller postage stamp for the sentiment, which is from a Christmas Set by Memory Box.  I lightly inked around the edges with distress ink to give it a rustic look, popped on foam pads and adhered to the card.  Lastly, I spritzed the card with Shimmer Spray and called it complete.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Merry Christmas Gnome

 Hello!  Today's make is a Card with a Tag on Top, featuring a Gnome, Foil, Glitter, Flock, Die Cuts and Stenciling. 


To create my card, I started with the tag first.  I used the Gina K. Designs and Thermo Web "Gnome for the Holidays" Stamp and Stencil Kit.  This kit was a collaboration between Thermo Web and Gina K. Designs and includes Foils, Stamps Stencils and Dies.  

The designer papers are a mixture of scrap and a large panel from the Memory Box "Christmas Plaid 6x6 paper pad, the Gnome beard is White Flocking, the baubles in the trees are die cut from red foil and the starry background is Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture paste over a stencil. 

For a final touch, I added a bit of ribbon, attaching it to the tag with my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher and covering the staple with the sentiment strip.

Christmas crafting has begun and if I stay on track, I won't be pulling my hair out come December 15th...the day I give myself to have all cards in the mail.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
