Christmas cards by Titbelsoeur

This is time to make our Christmas cards. There are many beautiful stamps in our Christmas cards folder here. For the occasion, I have made square cards. They are super-easy to make so you can make a bunch of them in one go, and still have some variation in them.

I have first divided a A4 watercolour sheet by 12 squares and stamped a Season's greetings from Mini Christmas 1 or Christmas Greetings # 1 A5 with black ink on each of them :

Once dried, I have stamped Happy new year! from Christmas Greetings # 2 A5 with water-based ink such as Distress everywhere on the page with various colours from blue to red :

Added a snowflake from Modern Christmas # 1 A5 on each, then cut out the squares and inked the edges, glue each one on to their card, et voilà !

I hope these cards give you inspiration to participate in our 

December's Creative Challenge - Christmas is coming!

for 3 chances to win some of these fabulous
Artistic Samper stamps !

The "C" word!!!!!!!

Yep.......It's that time of year!!!....The "C" word!!! ..All you crafters will know what I am on about!!!....."Christmas card making"!!. LOL...I can hear some of you saying that I am being a bit premature, and for a gal who if there was no last minute then nothing would get done!!!..I am pretty much organised, so yes, as the theme for this months challenge is BLUE, it was the perfect opportunity, so I have made a start on my Christmas cards.

I am obsessed at the moment with my gelli plate, so that is the route that I decided to go down. I started off with a gel printed background, then made some "bauble" shapes with my small round gelli plate, then with several Artistic Stamper STENCILS & MASKS I did prints over the top, then using paint on the gel plate as a stamp pad, I stamped the SNOWFLAKES then finished off with the sentiment from the CHRISTMAS GREETINGS stamp set.

I hope you can join in this fun challenge, and maybe start your Christmas cards too..hee hee.

Greeting cards by Titbelsoeur

Hello Happy Stampers !

To make these greeting cards, I have first  glued some pieces of books or magazines to a drawing paper. A slight coat of gesso with a credit card, and I added acrylic paint with my fingers :

I stamped dots and circles from Decay Journaling Stamps #1 , Decay Swirl Background  and Borders A5 2 with white acrylic, Calligraphic Mat 1 and Calligraphic Mat 13 with black Archival ink :

I cut the paper in pieces to fit my black cards and added "Season's Greetings" from Christmas Greetings # 1 and "Happy New Year" from Christmas Greetings # 2 . I highlighted the first one with a white pen, and the second one with white acrylic on the top to figure snow and black on the bottom to highlight.

Do not forget that you can win these fabulous stamps, just participating in our challenge

Let's start making our season's greetings cards

Hello there, this is Titbelsoeur showing you today my very first Christmas card of the year !
I have made the background with this amazing tool I will demonstrate at my Nov. 11 workshop, then I have stamped the Special Deliveries stamp on it with Plum Archival.
Merry Christmas was stamped on a kraft junk envelope and torn :

On the back, I glued the Steampunk Santa that was stamped on wrapping tissue to keep transparency, and I added my signature on the Hand stamped mark.

Isn't it an easy peasy card to do ? I hope you will enjoy it and want to make a lot of same ones !
Anyway, thank you so much for stopping by, I can't wait to read your comments !
See ya,
Titbelsoeur

I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toooooes....

Christmas is all around me, and so the feeling groooooows....

This is Titbelsoeur today, showing you 2 Christmas cards.

I made the first one with paint on the gessoed background, and on the Numerical stamp. I stamped my home-made gate stamp with gesso and the snowflakes and Merry Christmas stamps with archival ink. Then I highlighted the words with a white pen.

I made this one on a gessoed background, again, but used alcohol inks. Mixed them and let dry. The next day, I let white paint run down from the top, then inked the pines and snowflakes with paint as well. Stamped the Seasons greetings with archival ink on a phone book page and highlighted the letters with a marker pen.

I hope my cards will inspire you and I am looking forward to reading your comments !

Thank you for visiting, à tout bientôt !
