Music-Themed Christmas Cards
Get ready to spread holiday cheer with the talented Jess Francisco of A Card Day's Work. To get things started on the right elf-shoed foot, Jess made three beautiful cards showcasing the fabulousness of Scrapbook.com's big, bold Christmas sentiments and nested star dies.
There are also some wonderful pattern stamps and sentiments from Simon Hurley's line for Ranger Ink. Each of these musical-themed cards would be perfect for the Christmas caroler or music lover in your life!
Handmade Christmas Cookie Card
Sometimes the magic of Christmas can be found in the snowy weather, the twinkling lights, the spirit of giving, or the embrace of a family member. And sometimes it's found in the warmth of a freshly-baked Christmas cookie! Mona Tóth joined the blog hop with an absolutely adorable handmade cookie-themed card.
She used one of Scrapbook.com's exclusive stencils in an innovative embossing technique, star-shaped cookies from our nested dies, and created custom confetti with a digital cut file. Each little detail of this handmade card has us wowed!
Head on over to her blog post for a supply list and tutorial to make your own Christmas cookie creation!
Pink Christmas Shaker Card
Moving along the blog hop brings us to the talented Ashley Ebben who created a stunning holiday card in soft pink and sparkly gold tones. She used Scrapbook.com's Hybrid Ink Collection and the revolutionary new Domed Foam Ink Blending Tool to create a delicately blended background for the base of the shaker.
The combination of the die cut gold stars along with the heat embossed golden sentiment creates a touch of sparkling whimsy to this card. And each shake of the contained sequins and fluttering snowflakes is a magical little snowstorm!
Vintage Style Christmas Cards
Is it really Christmas if Tim Holtz hasn't stopped by? We think not! Joining the Handmade Holiday Papercrafting Parade blog hop is the talented Juliana Michaels with a little bit of throwback charm.
While Tim Holtz stamps and a Sizzix die are the stars on these two beautiful cards, Scrapbook.com's exclusive stencils create unforgettable inked backgrounds on these two masterpieces. And there's just something positively hilarious about this Christmas Fun Card Sentiment about Santa looking attractive.
To see all the techniques Juliana used in these two stunners, head on over to her blog!
