12 Days of Christmas Card #7

Hello!
Finally I can load the blogger page. Was having difficulty loading them just now. I thought I might have to postpone the update to tomorrow. Without further ado, this is the card for today.

 Another card using the Forever Friends chipboard. Loving them!!

Close-up shot - I embossed the greetings in white embossing powder and as usual GLITTERS (a must have for holiday cards)!!! For the hats and the snow~~

Supplies used:-

Stamp sets: Studio G's (don't know the name of the stamp set)

Patterned paper: October Afternoon Holiday Style

Cardstock: Regular red, chocolate and white cardstock from Popular bookstore

Ink pads: Versamark

Tools: Martha Stewart Doily Lace border punch, border die, Decorative Label punch

Accessories: American Crafts Zing White Opaque Embossing Powder, Forever Friends chipboard, glitters, Uni-ball Signo White Gel pen, silver diagonal stripes washi tape

I pierced some holes in the shape of an oval over the greetings to add some pattern to it. I'm not sure if you can see it from the picture. I thought that the label needed some design otherwise it will be too boring with all the solid space in between.

That's the update for today.
Thanks for stopping by!

12 Days of Christmas Card #1

Hello!
I know I have been missing in action for the longest time. As usual the reason being, one word: LAZY. Anyway that is not what I would like to blog about today. These days, I spent most of my time browsing through my favourite YouTube channel for cardmaking inspirations and with Christmas being around the corner, most of my favourite designers started to upload their 12 Days of Christmas Card Series or 25 Days of Christmas Card Series. So I thought that it will be a great idea to do my own series of 12 Days of Christmas Card. As I know nothing about making and uploading videos, I decided to make and post a Christmas card on my blog everyday for 12 days.

Although I do not always celebrate Christmas, I have always loved Christmas so when I went into cardmaking and stamping, I bought quite a number of Studio G's Christmas themed mini stamp sets. Due to my lazy and procrastinating nature, I haven't gotten around to use the stamp sets to make Christmas cards. By doing this series, it helps me to fully utilize my stamps rather then just storing them away.

Anyway, without further ado, here's the first card to my 12 Days of Christmas Card Series for today.

 A very simple card - Love the Santa and reindeer, so cute ~

Close-up shot to show that I added white dazzling glitters to the Santa's hat, beard and on the ground as though they are standing on snow covered ground. I also added some glossy accent to the reindeer's nose.

Supplies used:-

Stamp sets: 3 different Studio G's stamp sets (I have forgotten the names of the stamp sets, I don't think it is stated on the original packaging either)

Patterned paper: October Afternoon Holiday Style, My Mind's Eye  So Sophie "Never Enough" Daring Dot

Cardstock: Regular green and white cardstock from Popular bookstore

Ink pads: Stazon Jet Black, Versafine Vintage Sepia

Tools: 1/2" corner rounder punch

Accessories: Jute string, white glitters, glossy accent, Uni-ball Signo white gel pen, Zebra black gel pen

That's all for the update today.
Thanks for stopping by.
