Create a Stunning Paper-Pieced Holiday Card to Brighten Your Season: Crafting With Caly

Hi everyone!

It’s Caly Person here today!

I’m sharing a holiday card full of texture and hope you’ll love it! I’ve combined several die-sets to make today’s poinsettia spray.

Today’s card uses the following die sets to paper-piece and layer to create the poinsettia spray

Tall Poinsettia
Pine Needle Cluster
Berry Stems
Twinkly Lights

WATCH THE VIDEO:

The background uses the Delicate Pine Branches Embossing Folder. It provides subtle texture and carries over the them of sprigs ad branches from the poinsettia spray.

Finally, to finish, I added a sentiment using the Joyeux Noel die. Using some Gold Dazzling Gems add the perfect amount of glam on the sentiment and poinsettia flowers.

I hope you like this card! I hope it inspires you to paper-piece some beautiful holiday cards!

Have a wonderful day!

Monochromatic One-Layer-Wonder Holiday Cards: Yippee for Yana

Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming back the oh-so-talented and amazing Yana Smakula! (Please note: our dear friend Yana is Ukrainian. To show support to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, please see Yana’s post HERE.)

Hello, crafters, this is Yana Smakula for Simon Says Stamp! Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! I’m creating one-layer Christmas cards with the Home For The Holidays stamp set.

I used the new Sage cardstock from Simon Says Stamp, this is a stunning muted green, perfect addition to the current Simon’s color family. I cut the cardstock in half and scored it at the 4 ¼” mark to create A2 cards.

Next, I selected a beautiful cabin image and a holiday sentiment and stamped both in VersaClair Nocturne ink on the front of my card base. I went with 3 different sentiments to make slightly different cards.

I used Polychromors pencils by Faber Castell to add a bit of color; first – white to add snow under the cabin, in front of the fence, over the roof and windows; and a light and a dark green to add shading to the tree. Stunning!

A bit of falling snow was added around the image framing it, I used a Sakura gelly roll 0.8 pen to add the snow dots. Lastly, I embellished the tree using gems from Spellbinders, the smallest gems were the perfect size to create the ornaments for the tree. I used white, silver and gold. Red would also look stunning!

I hope you like this idea and will give this card design a try. Be sure to check out the new cardstock colors from Simon, they are simply perfect and bring a breath of fresh air to cardmaking! Have fun stamping!
