Christmas Crowd Snow Scene Card Video Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a fun little Christmas card using the Christmas Crowd Stamp Set along with a little ink blending, and Stampin' Blend Coloring.  Today's card is also part of my 25 Days of Christmas Holiday Card Series.  This is day 11 of the Holiday Card Series and I have a super cute one for you today.  Here's a look at my card.

Christmas is better shared.  So spread some holiday cheer with the help of the friendly group of festive characters in the Christmas Crowd Stamp Set.  Your loved ones will appreciate Christmas greetings from you and your gang.  The Christmas Crowd stamp set is a great set for to color any way that you would like.  I decided to stamp them and do a little masking and Stampin' Blend coloring to create my card today.
I stamped the Christmas Crowd image in tuxedo black ink twice using the Stamparatus and then created a mask on some Avery Repositionable labels.  I cut the mask out and then placed it over the image.  I crated a second mask to create a snow globe or world shape to place the snowflakes in.  for the snowflakes in the circle I used versamark ink and the snowflake image from the Christmas Crowd stamp set and then added clear embossing powder.  Once heat set I did a little ink blending with Seaside Spray, Pacific Point and Blueberry Bushel. I then came back and did a little ink blending out side of the circle once I removed the large mask.
 Once all the ink blending was complete I started the Stampin' Blend coloring.  All my little guys were colored with Real Red, and Shaded Spruce somewhere on them to tie them in together for the most part.  I did add in a few additional colors to finish them off.  You will find a full list of the supplies I used on this card in the Shopping List below.  I just did simple coloring to fill in the images with just a little blending.  I kept everything super simple.  Once I had everything colored it was time to add the finishing touches.
I added the ink blended and colored background to a Thick Whisper White Card base cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.  I did this with the aid of my Simply Score.  I put the card base in the corner and attached it with a little liquid glue.  I then stamped the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink on a scrap of Whisper White Thick cardstock and made it a fishtail banner.  I then popped the banner up on a few Stampin' dimensionals to attach it to the card.  I then added a few of the Snowflake sequins to the card with a little liquid glue.

How to Make a Santa Hat Shaped Christmas Card Video Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am sharing with you the next project in my 25 Days of Christmas Holiday Card Series 2019.  Today, I have a super cute and fun card for you and it's a lot easier than you may think just looking at it.  I was super surprised at how easy it was to create when I sat down and created it.  For today's card I am going to share with you how to create a Santa Hat Shaped card that will truly make someone smile when they open it this Holiday Season.  Let's look at my card shall we.

Tips & Tricks: 

This is actually a very easy card to make.  It's just a matter of drawing out the shape you want the card to be.  The drawing doesn't have to be perfect because you are going to cut it out with your paper snips.  I used a piece of 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Very Vanilla Thick card stock scored at 4 1/4 to start.  I then sketched out the shape of the Santa Hat with a pencil making sure to take the sketch up to the top of the fold, letting it go across.  Next I just cut it out using my paper snips, making sure to not cut the top of the card.  If you cut the fold you have nothing to hold the card together.  
After cutting the shape out I flipped it up side down on the Real Red Glimmer Paper and cut it out in reverse.  By doing this when flipped the right way around the glimmer paper fits perfectly on the card base.  I attached it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  At this point I had to add the White band and the pom pom at the end.  I stamped the sentiment on the Whisper White Band in Real Red Ink.  
I did this with just a few pieces of scrap Whisper White Cardstock.  I attached the band with a few Stampin' Dimensionals.  I gave the ends a little shaping before attaching it.  For the end of the hat I used my 1 3/8" scallop circle punch and punched out two and attached them to the end of the hat with a little liquid glue.  
I then die cut the holly and berries from some scrap cardstock.  I used Call Me Clover and some Real Red for them.  The Holly die came from the Cup of Cheer Dies which match the Cup of Christmas Stamp Set (which is also where the sentiment on my card came from) in the Holiday Catalog.  I attached the holly and berries with a little liquid glue and mini glue dots and a mini dimensional behind the holly leaf sticking out over the rim of the hat.
