Festive Firs: From Simple to Simply Piled On!

ErikaGeneral 4 Comments

A single stamped tree can be beautiful all on its own, but the Festive Firs Stamp Set really lets you bring on the fun! With different tree styles and sizes, there are so many ways to mix, match and layer these festive little firs.

A Forest of Festive Firs

Why stop at one tree? This card features a whole stamped background filled with Festive Firs. Add lots of color and you've got a cheerful, festive design that's full of holiday spirit.

Layer It Up

Ready to pile it on? Add die-cut layers, frames and Rick Rack Dies for even more texture and detail. There are so many ways to arrange these pieces, so you can create a different look every time.

Go Easy or Go Big!

That's the beauty of the Festive Firs Stamp Set. Keep it simple with a single stamped tree or go all out with layers, color and embellishments. However you like to create, these little trees are ready to make your holiday cards merry and bright!

Layer It Up with Birds & Boughs

ErikaGeneral 2 Comments

The Birds & Boughs Bundle is full of so many options for beautiful card layering! From simple combinations to richly detailed designs, there are so many ways to build your holiday cards with stamps, dies, stencils and more…thinking far beyond just using patterned paper. Here are a few of our favorite ways to layer it up!

Layer Over a Tag

Give your tags a little something extra by layering stamped birds and greenery right over the top. It's an easy way to turn a simple tag into a beautiful focal point.

Layer with a Hand-Stamped Background

Create your own background with stamps, then layer your Birds & Boughs images right over the top. Add an accent die or two to finish the design and bring all those layers together.

Layer Over a Cover Plate

Cover plates create the perfect textured foundation for your stamped images. Layer your birds, boughs and other elements right over the top for a dimensional holiday design.

Layer with a Stenciled Background

Start with a softly stenciled background, then build your scene with stamped and die-cut elements. The added pattern gives your layered images even more interest without overwhelming the design.

Layer Over Strips

Our Strip Dies make it easy to create a layered background with strips of cardstock or patterned paper. This card features the Grosgrain Strips, creating a textured foundation for the stamped Birds & Boughs elements layered over the top.

Feeling Frosty? 4 Ways to Use Frosty Friends

ErikaGeneral 4 Comments

Amanda Fiterer

We love a stamp set that gives you lots of ways to create! Frosty Friends is packed with adorable snowmen that can be dressed up, rearranged, and used in all kinds of card layouts. Here are a few fun ways to make the most of your frosty friends!

With Frilly Frames

We designed the Frilly Frames Dies to be an adorable way to “display” your Frosty Friends on a card front. Use one frame or all four to create a sweet layered design, with the frames helping to anchor your snowmen and bring the whole card together. Amanda created this adorable card using colored cardstock for her frames, and it’s just too sweet!

Create a Tag

Erika layered tag dies with her snowmen to create a centralized focal point on these cards, then topped them off with a bow. Rotate your patterned papers and snowman images to create stacks of cards that are easy to mass produce with one of these layouts! I also love how Amanda used these same pieces to create gift tags. They’re sure to make your holiday gifts extra special!

Just One Snowman

You don’t need a whole crew of snowmen to make a great card! Use just one Frosty Friend as the focal point in any layout. Erika went with a more traditional card design, while Amanda created a fun four-quadrant card and added interest with the Holiday Textures Stamp Set. Same snowman, completely different look!

Amanda Fitterer

Go Vintage!

Changing up your color palette can completely change the feel of your card. Amanda went with a rustic Spa Color combo here, giving her snowman card a sweet vintage vibe. We love how the soft, subtle colors create such a cozy and timeless look!

Fall Flourishes Three Ways

ErikaGeneral

The Fall Flourishes Stamp Set is full of beautiful fall foliage and is perfect for adding a little seasonal charm to your cards. Today, we're sharing three ways to use these lovely images!

1. Stamp & Color

Keep it classic! Stamp your favorite Fall Flourishes images and bring them to life with your favorite markers or paint for a watercolor technique. Add as much or as little detail as you'd like for a look that's uniquely yours.

2. Watercolor Background

Create a beautiful watercolor background using your favorite CP Inks, then stamp and die cut your Fall Flourishes images and layer them over top. The soft, colorful background creates a gorgeous backdrop and lets your stamped images really shine.

3. Mask & Ink Blend

For a bold, eye-catching look, use masking and ink blending to create your background first. Then stamp your Fall Flourishes image over the blended area. This technique adds depth and creates a beautiful focal point for your card!

Bonus Idea: Stamp Your Own Background

Use the back of a stamp to add a wash of color, or reach for a large solid geometric image, like the Bold Bits & Patterns Stamp Set, to stamp a colorful background. Then stamp your Fall Flourishes images right over top for an easy layered look with lots of interest!

Which technique will you try first? We can't wait to see how you use Fall Flourishes in your fall cardmaking!
