I'll be home for Christmas/Scrappy Tail Crafts

Hello Friends! I happy to be back to share more Christmas inspiration for you! This Christmas card is very colorful and I was inspired by one of my favorite Christmas song "I'll be home for Christmas"... The recently released Christmas Collection is amazing! There is something for everyone! Check it out at the Scrappy Tails Shop.

PROJECT DETAILS:

To start this card I die cut the Round Swirl Snowflake Ornament Craft Die with red and silver cardstock I added some shading with Oxide inks Lumberjack Plaid and Vintage Photo.  I then cut the Layering Christmas Bug Craft Die with a light blue cardstock and used Salty Ocean Oxide ink to shade it.  For the Christmas tree I used Rustic Wilderness Oxide for the shading.



I then cut some mat layering pieces from red and green cardstock in the same shade I used before and added the same oxide inks to create more dimension, I finally used some splashes of  sparkle watercolor to create the snowlike feel.  Such a fun scene!  I hope this inspires you to create some Christmas cards!  Have a wonderful day!

Cute Christmas Penguin Friends/Scrappy Tail Crafts

Hello Friends! I hope your day is going great! Today I wanted to share a very colorful Christmas card... What is more adorable than two cute penguins?  This recently released Christmas Collection is amazing! There is something for everyone! Check it out at the Scrappy Tails Shop.


PROJECT DETAILS:

To start this card I die cut two penguins from the Layering Penguin Duo Craft Dies this are super easy to assemble and so so cute! I used black, white, orange and blue cardstock for the big pieces and for the small pieces I used white cardstock and colored it with copic markers.  I then cut a piece of 5 x 7 white cardstock to create the scene.  I used Oxide inks in colors Tumbled Glass and Kitsch Flamingo, I used some splashes of water and sparkle watercolors too.


I then cut the A7 Festive Garland Cover Plate from green cardstock and adhere it to the scene I already made for this two cute friends! I finally adhered the penguins and used white acrilic paint mixed with water to create the snow on the card.  I added the sentiment from the Christmas Icon Stamp Set and some snowflakes to enhance the scene!  Such a fun scene!  I hope this inspires you to create some Christmas cards!  Have a wonderful day!
