Reindeer Holder Dies
Inside Sentiments Christmas Stamp Set
Birthday Treat Box Dies
Christmas Holder Additions Dies
Pinking Circles Dies
Party Flags Dies
Stitched Snowflakes Dies
Cherry Red Pearls

I started this project by making the treat box first. I die cut the Birthday Treat Box die from green cardstock. I die cut a second one using gingham paper and used that to put in just the back panel of the box. These boxes come together so quickly and easily – great for mass production! I splattered on some white paint snow and set that aside to dry. Next I made that cute flag using the Party Flag dies…I embellished the flag with snowflakes and the new Sentiment set from this release. 

I die cut all the pieces for the sweet Reindeer from the Reindeer Holder Dies. I gave him a Santa hat and he’s holding a festive wreath. I used kraft cardstock and cream cardstock for his body and dark brown cardstock for his antlers. I gently shaded the pieces with inks. I added little pink cheeks and then used a white gel pen on the pieces. To make it more jolly I mixed in some elements using glitter paper! Yeah for glitter!

I die cut a small Pinking Circle and affixed it to the front of the treat box with foam tape. I then attached the reindeer with foam tape too. I put his smile at a slight angle so he looks impish – like Rudolph!! I used a cello bag for a few candy treats and tied the top with twine. I put the party flag onto a drinking straw and tucked it into the treat box. Finished! 

Let’s get started on our Christmas projects with this gorgeous new holiday release from Pretty Pink Posh! Thanks for the chance to share with you today.

Happy Crafting! XO Wanda

Reindeer Face Shaker Dies
Joy Word Shaker Dies
Gingerbread House Dies—small circle dies I used as berries
Pine Sprigs Dies
Gingham Stencil
Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stamp Set
Merry & Minty Clay Confetti
Onyx Pearls

I started by creating the stenciled background panel first. I chose green cardstock trimmed to 4.25 x 5.5 inches and stenciled the gingham pattern using Black Soot Distress Ink for a classic Christmas buffalo check pattern. Then I splattered the panel with white splatter medium and set it aside while I worked on the other elements. 

For the Reindeer Face, I started with colored cardstock, light-brown and ivory, and added shading to the pieces using a small or medium blending brush and darker coordinating ink colors. Then I assembled his face, adding a red nose and Onyx Pearls for the eyes. For the Joy Word Shaker element, I chose a gray and black striped pattern paper for the main body of the text and a solid gray to outline it. Next, I arranged the reindeer and “Joy” on my background panel securing the reindeer with liquid adhesive and “Joy” with foam squares.

My next steps were to add a sentiment and a little embellishment to the card. I heat-embossed a sentiment with white embossing powder on green cardstock and die-cut it with a sentiment strip die before attaching it across the bottom of the word “Joy.” Then I die-cut numerous Pine Sprigs, because you can never have too many pine sprigs, and tucked them in around the reindeer and the word “Joy.” I added red berries to the greenery and finished with a scattering of white clay snowflakes. My final step was to attach the finished card front to a top-fold card base.

Thank you so much for checking out my joyful holiday card I created using some of the festive new products from the latest release! See you again soon!

I like to start by cutting the window first and then stamping the coordinating image on card front behind the window or on the acetate in the window.

For this card I stamped the tree on the card front, did a little basic coloring and then filled the shaker with a little chunky glitter and the adorable Merry & Minty Mix! And I couldn’t resist adding the kitty & gifts on top!

Christmas Gingerbread Stamp Set
Christmas Gingerbread Coordinating Dies
Joy Word Shaker Die
Layered Sweet Candies Stencil
Mistletoe Kisses Shaker Beads
Stitched Arches Dies

I started off by stamping out the all of the images from the set onto OLO Premium card stock with Memento Tuxdeo Black ink. Once my coloring was done I die-cut them out with their Coordinating Dies.

Coloring them in with my Copics R81, R83, R85, R89, E30-37, G00, G02, G12, G24. 

Next, for the background I using the Layered Sweet Candies Stencil and a standard A2 panel of mint card stock in a vertical post on my grip mat. With the layered A,  I pounced on Distress Oxide Lost Shadow and then again with white pigment ink. Then with the Layer B in place I pounced on Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry ink. 

With the largest Stitched Arches Dies, centered on the panel I ran it through my Platinum 6 machine. Attaching the outer piece to my card base with liquid glue and popping up the arch with foam. 

I knew right away that I wanted to combine my stamp images with the new Joy Word Shaker Dies. Using the two dies, I die-cut out 6 layers of pink card stock to adhere together making the wells for the Mistletoe Kisses Shaker Beads. With the solid die, I die-cut acetate for a window to sandwich in between the two top layers. And again from white card stock to seal the back with the shaker beads in. 

What I didn’t know at first when I started to assemble my card was that I was going to tuck the one Gingerbread man behind the “JOY” word. So so Cute! You know they are in full swing decorating up the Gingerbread house for the holidays!

My final step was to add Star Dust Stickles to the candy images and some white highlights.  I love this sweet Christmas card!
