Winter Floral Christmas Card

Share a bit of "fa la la" with this Christmas card combining the timeless charm of vintage-themed patterned papers and delicate winter greenery stamps and layering stencils. Embrace the coming season with this quick and easy tutorial on the LDRS Creative YouTube Channel!

I stamped the Christmas Floral Stamp with Raven Hybrid Ink and added clear embossing powder so that I could seal in the ink to prevent smudging. I lined up the first layer of the Christmas Floral Layering Stencils and blended Four Leaf Hybrid Ink. I continued on with the remaining three layering stencils with Evergreen, Soft Kisses, and Lipstick Jungle Hybrid Inks to add color to the greenery and berries. I used the Christmas Floral Coordinating Die to cut out all five images at once and set them aside to work on the rest of my card. 

I cut papers from the Yuletide Paper Pack to layer on my card. I also cut the focal point sentiment piece from one of the "cut apart" pieces and added that to the center of my card. I arranged my stenciled florals and greenery pieces around the sentiment and finished the card with some white paint spatters. That's it! Thanks for joining me! 

HSN Throwback | Celebration Mega Craft Bundle Encouragement Card

In a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable, finding joy in the little things can make a world of difference. How do I like to spread happiness? Crafting of course! Join me on the LDRS Creative YouTube Channel for another HSN Throwback project using the Celebration Mega Craft Bundle!

This card is so simple, but look at all that color! Doesn't it just make you want to dance?! I knew that I wanted to use some of the rub-on transfers as ephemera pieces, so I used the wooden tool and transferred the balloons and the girl to white cardstock and cut them out with my scissors. Believe it or not, that's the hardest part of this card!

I trimmed down some pieces of patterned paper from the Celebration Mega Craft Bundle as well as one of the white slimline card toppers with a scalloped edge and adhered them to a card base. Once I started playing with placement of the ephemera pieces I realized that they were blending into the background. I used a stand-by trick to fix that - VELLUM! It softens the polka dotted paper just enough to bring everything together. 

I finished off my card with some gold baubles here and there to accent my ephemera pieces. Be sure to watch the video tutorial to see how I made a coordinating envelope for this card! I'll see you next Friday for another HSN Throwback project!

HSN Throwback | Christmas Floral Card

It's time to kickstart your weekend! Grab your inks and layering stencils and get ready for another HSN throwback project! I used the Christmas Floral Stamps, Die, and Stencils to make a clean and simple Holiday card. Check out my video for a step-by-step tutorial!

Layering stencils are one of my favorite crafty products. They are incredibly versatile, easy to use, and can be used over and over again to create any number of projects! The Christmas Floral set has a coordinating stamp set that will give an outline to the floral sprigs, but I chose to go without the outline. I used the four layering stencils with Tropical Sea, Bali Blue, Soft Kisses, and Lipstick Jungle Hybrid Ink Pads to create multiple floral pieces.

I used the Christmas Floral Die to cut out all of the images at once and then repeated the process five more times so that I had six sets of images. It's more than I needed, but I wasn't sure how full I would make my wreath. I cut a circle from white cardstock and chose my favorite image and started playing with arrangement. I stamped a sentiment from the Christmas Floral Stamp Set and then added my pieces to the outside edges of the circle. 

I wanted something fun, but simple for my background, so I chose a pattern from the MacKenna Christmas Card and Scrapbooking Kit and cut it down to layer onto an A2 Card. I popped up my focal point image and scattered some gems here and there across the card. That's it! I'll see you next week for another HSN throwback project!

Peace & Joy Holiday Card

I have an exciting new YouTube video tutorial to share with you! I created a simple and modern card with some LDRS Creative products from HSN. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just starting out, this eye-catching design is just what you need to help celebrate the upcoming Holiday season! 

This card is so simple, but it's modern and gorgeous and PERFECT for the Holidays! I started with the Peace & Joy 12x12 Paper and Ephemera Kit from HSN. This kit is AMAZING! The patterned papers are stunning and there are multiple sheets of pop out ephemera pieces that can be used to create cards, tags, journals, scrapbook pages, or whatever is on your crafty list for the Holidays! I looked through the kit and found a paper and ephemera piece that I loved and used them to build my card.

I decided to bring pops of white into my design, so I cut a piece of white cardstock with the Modern Geometric A2 Coverplate Die I and layered it onto my patterned paper. I cut a white mat for my ephemera piece, rounded the edges, and added it to the center of my card with some foam tape. Now I need a sentiment! I stamped the Christmas Wishes Wave Stack Stamp with Raven Hybrid Ink, die cut the sentiments with the Wave Ribbon Stack Coordinating Die, and added my favorite one to my card. 

I added some clear shimmer to the ornament and bow on my ephemera piece and finished the card with a sprinkling of gems. That's it! I hope you love this HSN throwback project as much as I do!

HSN Throwback | MacKenna Christmas Card and Scrapbooking Kit

Ready for another HSN throwback project? How about TWO?! I made two cards quick and easy using papers, ephemera, and stickers from the MacKenna Christmas Card and Scrapbooking Kit from HSN. Check out the video for my step-by-step tutorial!

I was able to use the components of the MacKenna Christmas Card and Scrapbooking Kit to make two cards. All I added was some adhesive and cardstock! No stamping, die-cutting, or anything too crazy!

I took one sheet of the 12x12 patterned paper and cut it apart to get two different background scenes. I cut down the piece to layer onto a mini slimline card, added silver shimmer watercolor spatters, and mounted it with foam tape onto a piece of mint and white patterned paper.

All this card needs is some puffy stickers to help set the scene! I placed two deer near the center of the card and a sentiment in the top right corner. I added the panel to a mini slimline card base and that's it for card one!

My second card is just as simple! I took a second background piece and trimmed it to size for a slimline card. I added silver shimmer watercolor spatter and used foam tape and mounted it to a pink cardstock mat. 

I grabbed a piece of ephemera and added it to the left side of the card with foam tape. I added lots of enamel dots to help bring the focus to the truck and camper ephemera piece and added the panel to a white slimline card base.

I hope you enjoyed this throwback and these two easy cards! I'll see you again soon!

LDRS Creative | HSN Throwback - Layered Poinsettia Dies

Who's ready for Christmas?! It's only about 4 months away, and I am ready to bring you some fun Holiday vibes using some LDRS Creative products from HSN!

I started by project by using the flower dies from the Poinsettia Layering Dies from HSN to cut two shades of red cardstock, white cardstock, and kraft cardstock. I also used the leaf dies to cut three shades of green cardstock. Be sure to watch the video above to see how easy these dies are to layer and put together. I like to find a reference point when I'm layering. That makes it easier to know where to adhere the pieces to make sure they're lined up properly. Don't forget! LDRS often puts layering guides on the back of their packaging, so don't throw that away! It's a great visual aid. 

I wanted a pretty frame to accent my card, so I cut white cardstock using the Floral Foliage Slimline Dies. You can use just the outer die and you'll get a full panel with a cross stitch outline, but if you layer the two dies together, you'll get the frame with the cross stitch and foliage patterns. I cut a slimline card base to 3.25" x 8.25" and started adding my Layered Poinsettia flowers and leaves to fill the background. Every Holiday card should have a bit of sparkle, so I spattered some gold watercolor all over the background. I added foam tape behind the Floral Foliage Slimline frame and added it to the card.

All that's left is to add a sentiment! I used the Wishing You a Very Merry Christmas Dies and cut a layered sentiment and added it to the center of my card with foam tape. That's it! I hope you've enjoyed seeing some previously released HSN products in action! See you soon!
