Doodling with Debby: Picture Book Christmas
Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! Thanks for popping by today! Please read on below to see how Debby Hughes made this absolutely adorable Christmas card! Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!
Hello, it’s Debby here today with my monthly video feature, Doodling With Debby! I love the look of no-line colouring – stamping an image in a pale ink and then colouring, so the original line is no longer visible. Well, I’ve called today’s technique no-line die cutting.
In the same way as the stamping technique, no-line die cutting results in a coloured image without any black lines and the Picture Book die series from Simon Says Stamp are perfect for this.
I die cut the Picture Book Snowman, Picture Book Deer and Picture Book Santa from Neenah Solar White card and then coloured with Copic Markers. I had great fun colouring these die cuts with simple shading to bring them to life.
Once I’d coloured the pieces for each character, I glued them to a piece of white card and trimmed out before adding a pair of wiggle eyes. I rubbed Ranger Multi Medium Matte over Rudolph’s antlers and dunked them into a tub of Rock Candy Distress Glitter before adhering them to the back of the deer’s head with a glue dot. Also, I added Glossy Accents to Rudolph’s red nose. To dress up Santa and the snowman, I added Wink Of Stella glitter pen to their outfits.
I blended Lake Shores ink into the top of a panel of white card and splattered with perfect pearls solution and then white gouache before mounting the trio of characters with foam adhesive.
For the sentiment, I stamped, and white heat embossed the ‘Hope’ sentiment from the Stained Glass Greetings set three times and die cut with the matching die. I then trimmed out the ‘HO’ from the beginning of each die cut and mounted them below the three characters. I completed the sentiment by stamping a phrase from the Fa La La set in clear embossing ink on card coloured with a red marker and white heat embossed before trimming into a skinny banner.
I added the finished panel to a side folding Desert Storm card base.
Thank you for joining me today, and I’ll see you next time for Doodling With Debby!

Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Lawn Fawn Pop Up Holiday Gift Card
Hello everyone, Nina-Marie here with you today for my latest Studio Monday video! I’m sure most of you are busy creating your Christmas and Holiday cards and I thought this would be a perfect time to share a gift card idea featuring some beloved Lawn Fawn products!
Aren’t those penguins adorable?? They are from the new Here We Go A Waddling stamp set from Lawn Fawn. You’ll also notice the sweet village scene behind them, which I used the Winter Village stamp set to create. I love how Lawn Fawn stamps are sized to work with each other so well!
While this card may look like just a standard scene card (with lots of color and fun details!), there is an interactive surprise on the inside! With the help of the clever Gift Card Pop Up die, you can present your gift cards for those hard-to-buy-for people on your list with ease!
I really love how cute and fun this is, and I can’t wait for you to check out the video below to see how I put it all together! Hopefully it will inspire you to try out the Gift Card Pop Up die from Lawn Fawn, as I know this will aid you in your holiday gift-giving!
Thanks for visiting with me today… I will be back again next week with a new video to share!

Hi friends! Happy Sunday! Please join me in welcoming back the PHENOMENAL Richele Christensen as a guest on our blog today! She has crafted up an amazing 3D Holiday decor piece that is just stunning!! Please be sure to keep scrolling for step by step photo shots and additional info! Enjoy!
Hello friends, this is Richele. Thank you so much for stopping by today I’m happy to be here sharing my Winter Wonderland Vignette Tray. I have always loved the look of white on white, it’s classic, very elegant and so beautiful. This project features several Sizzix Alterations dies from the Tim Holtz holiday collection. I had so much fun creating this Winter Wonderland.
1. Paint the sides of the outside and inside of the Vignette Tray with Brushed Pewter Distress Paint. Repeat with another coat of paint if desired and let dry.
2. Adhere the skinny silver Deco Tape to the top edge of the Vignette Tray lining up the outside edges.
3. Drill a small hole in the lower right corner and feed the Lights through the hole to the inside of the tray. Adhere lights with a glue gun taking care to only glue where the bare wire is. Be careful not to glue at the lights or the part of the wire that’s coated. Velcro battery pack to the back of the tray.
4. Adhere a few lines across the top of the Vignette Tray.
5. Cut Watercolor Cardstock to 5 1/2” x 11 1/2” and die cut a row of stars at the top of the cardstock. (I had to add a little piece to one end which was covered later with a tree.)
6. Die cut Deer from Watercolor Cardstock using the Winter Wonderland Thinlits set.
7. Die cut several Trees from the Tree Line and Woodlands Thinlits Sets.
8. Adhere Deco Sheet sticker to a piece of Cardstock. Die cut Peace, Wish or Noel using the Vintage Tidings Thinlits set.
9. Adhere game pieces or several layers of foam tape and adhere background stars to the inside of the Vignette Tray.
10. See the magical lights shinning through the little die cut stars.
11. Randomly paint Distress Collage Medium on the trees, pour on Distress Stickles Glitter, shake off excess.
12. Continue adding Glitter to all the trees and let dry.
13. Start layering the Trees and Tree Line die cuts to the background using Distress Collage Medium or foam tape.
14. Cut a small strip of cardstock in to 2 snowbanks, add Distress Glitter and let dry. Adhere snowbanks to background at 2 different levels using several layers of foam tape.
15. Adhere Deer with Distress Collage Medium and foam tape.
16. Adhere Peace using foam tape. Adhere Mirrored Stars in the sky with Distress Collage Medium.
17. Paint Vignette Finials with Brushed Pewter Distress Paint and let dry. Adhere to Vignette Tray with Distress Collage Medium.
18. Tie a bow around the Vignette Finial and embellish with a few Jingle Bells.
Thanks again for stopping by! Happy Holidays!
