Modern Christmas Tree cards - DT Member: Verity

Hello! So good to be here. It's Verity here from Pretty Little Button with another card for you today. Make sure you check out the fabulous Christmas stamps from Colourific as it isn't too late to still make some more. These clean and simple Christmas cards were the first set of cards I made with the Christmas stamp collection from Colourific and I think they are my favourite. I just love this tree!

Modern Christmas Tree cards details:

To create these cards, stamp the modern tree from the Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set in versamark ink and heat emboss in a colour of your choosing.

Next, decide and find a colour corresponding embellishment to act as the baubles for the tree.

For the kraft card, I use a selection of different sized red and gold mat sequins and adhered these down with liquid glue. The tree was then die cut with a stitched rectangle die and adhered onto a white card base.

For this grey card, I use a selection of differently sized mat and shiny sequins. I fussy cut around the tree and adhered this down onto a grey card panel that had been spray with some shimmer spray.

To finish the grey card off, I foam mounted a stitched rectangle frame out of matching kraft card.

For this card, I used white nuvo drops to act as the bauble for the tree. Again this tree was fussy cut-out and foam mounted on to a navy card panel.

A sentiment from the Christmas Time Text stamp set was added to a strip of white card on the front on the card panel, and the whole panel was mounted onto a white card base.

I hope you love today's card and don't forget to check out the stamp set, link below. If you loved this card please leave a comment below as we would love to hear from you.

Modern or Retro Christmas Bauble card - DT Member: Verity

Hello! So good to be here. It's Verity here from Pretty Little Button with another card for you today. I have another card today using the Peace & Joy stamp set from Colourific. Today's post features two cards using this stamp set to create a modern or retro style card and a very easy to make if in a hurry!

Modern or Retro Christmas Bauble card details:

For the modern card, start off by stamping a variety of the baubles onto white card. You could do this in a variety of different coloured modern inks or heat embossed for a metallic look. To create these cards, I had the digital file and therefore foiled them. However, you can foil them with either a glue pad, or bonding powder.

Once you have stamped a collection of baubles, fussy cut these out and adhere a piece of white thread to each one to 'hang' the baubles from. I used kraft card for my base and panel, as I wanted to add white paint splatters to the background. Once these were dry, you can adhere directly on to the panel or foam mount your bauble.

However, pay attention to the threads, as you may want to mount some of these underneath a bauble. When you adhere a bauble, pull the thread taught a wrap over the top of the card panel. Using some tape, adhere the thread down to the backside of the cad panel. Lastly, stamp a sentiment from the Christmas time text stamp set and mount this onto the card.

For the second card, I went for a more retro look. Again stamp out a selection of baubles in ink or embossing powder. As I only had access to the digital file, these baubles were foiled which you can do with a glue pad or bonding powder.

Before fussy cutting these out, I used 3 Zig Clean colour real brush markers to colour some of the baubles in. This colour combination paired with the gold of the baubles gave a retro feel to these baubles.

The baubles were adhered onto a tall card panel as with the card before. To change up the background, I used gold Nuvo drops to create shimmer and depth to the background an. This card was finished off by matting another stamped sentiment from the Christmas Time Text stamp set.
