More Merry Christmas Cards

Today I am sharing more Christmas cards I made today catching up with my Christmas projects 🙂

First card is a one-layer card with only white heat-embossed images with some white paint splatter on it. I keep it clean and simple. The one-layer and CAS technique is one of the ways to mass-produce cards, especially during the Holiday.

I CASE-ing one of Amy Tsuruta’s Christmas Cards she made for Hero Arts recent blog hop. Check out her cards on her blog.

Second card is also a clean and simple card that I had so much fun making it. First I stamped the images with Black Archival Ink Pad and then colored them using Watercolor Pencils. Then, using Aquash Watercolor Brush, I wet them to give the watercolor effect. Let them dry and I though it will be fun to add some Liquid Glue on them to give some epoxy glass look 🙂

Check this out…. Fun isn’t it? 🙂

These two cards have no stamping on them. The backgrounds and sentiments are embossed using We R Memory Keepers Next Lever embossing folders and Word Strip embossing folders.

I love the Next Level folders! They give deeper impression on the card. And the embossing strips are fabulous! Quick but cool way to add sentiment on the card.

OCC Holiday Style: O Holy Night

I am so excited to be able to learn from talented card makers at Online Card Classes – Holiday Style Class.

This is my first card from this week. Julie inspired me with her one layer card. Very simple, yet beautiful.

I stamped the pine trees in 3 shades of green: Flexen, Fern, and New England Ivy. The mixed of the colors give the look of layers of pine trees.

I have some catching up to do with the class. I got into the class a bit later because it is a giveaway prize that I won 🙂

Snowflakes Peace

I am dreaming of snowy days today 🙂 I remember I have some snow stamps in my stash and today I created this card.

Technique I used is called watercolor heat embossing resist that you can heat embossed the images with embossing powder and add some watercolor on it. On this card I used Distress Ink pads to create the watercolor background.

For the sentiment, I stamped the Bold Peace sentiment from Hero Arts on the vellum with red ink pad from Hero Arts monthly kit, add some clear glitter embossing powder while it was still wet, and heat set it.

Look at that glittery embossed sentiment… Love it!

One Layer, Embossed Card: You Are An Original

I have a card to share with you today also. It is an one-layer, embossed card.

This card I created for Ka’s Tic-Tac-Toe challenge which is also part of her design team call. It is a fun challenge 🙂

I choose the 3 elements in the middle down: One Layer, Embossing and Kraft.

I simply stamped the images and sentiment from Blossoming Expression stamp set with Versamark Ink Pad on a kraft card base, added some Ranger White Super Fine Embossing Powder and heat set them using my Craft Heater.

And then using White Rolly Gel pen, I added the dash and dot along the edges of the card.

All done. One layer, Embossed card for a dear friend who serving as a Healthy Consultant going around schools in our county to teach the children to live healthy. She is an awesome friend and an educator.

This card I link up also at Share Handmade Kindness Week 2 at Jennifer McGuire’s blog.

Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like my simple card 🙂

Be Strong and Be Courage To Fight The Good Fight

There are many ways to encourage our friends and families who need some courage and strenght to go through the battle with cancer. The only one source of strength and courage is from the LORD.

I admire the courage they have to survive! In last October I learned many facts about Cancer and Breast cancer. I met lots of new friends online through craft chat forums and blogs where they shared their own stories or their loved ones’ stories about their process to go through the treatments, but some of them have fough the good fight.

We, as believers in Christ, can find the strength and courage in the LORD through reading His word. We can experience His presence through prayers and the presence of our loved ones in the journey we have to go through. Do not lose hope!

I hope and prayer for you all who are fighting the good fight to survive, that you find your courage and strenght in the LORD who is with you and walking with you to go through the treatments and recover.

I pray the truth in Proverbs 31:25 will always be a reminder for you that truting in Him give you hope about your future.

Blessings to you all!
