\n Hello!<\/div>\n
\nI’m back with more projects made with the newly released Craftangles stamps<\/a> and stencils!!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFirst off, I have the baubles from the Craftangles ‘Christmas Ornaments’ stamp set<\/a> which I coloured using the technique demonstrated by Sandy Allnock.<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThey are far from perfect, but I like the way they turned out! I used the bauble outline and stamped the Santa’s from the Craftangles ‘Santa Claus’ stamp set<\/a> inside them. I then watercoloured them and fussy cut them. I then used a sponge dauber and tim Holtz black soot distress ink to darken the edges to give some diemnsion. I then used white acrylic paint to create the highlight. Sandy recommends a white gel pen, but mine wasn’t working properly so I had to improvise. I added the snow dots with white acrylic paint too.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHere is how I used them…<\/div>\n
\nFirst one I used on a black tag..chalkboard effect..<\/div>\n
\nI just love how the colours pop! The sentiment is from <\/div>\n
\nthe Craftangles ‘Holly Jolly Christmas’ stamp set.<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe other two, I used as hanging baubles on this stencilled card.  I used the <\/div>\n
\nCraftangles ‘Christmas Ornaments’ stencil<\/a> to create a background on white card stock and white heat embossed the sentiment from the Craftangles ‘Holly Jolly Christmas’ stamp set<\/a> on balck cardstock to finish the card.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor this next card, I created a background using Tim Holtz distress inks and the <\/div>\n
\nCraftangles ‘Christmas Background stencil’<\/a><\/div>\n
\nI stamped, watercoloured and fussy cut the santa from the<\/div>\n
\nCraftangles ‘Santa Claus’ stamp set.<\/a> <\/div>\n
\nI then adhered it to the card using an Action wobble.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI had to trim the Action wobble to fit behind the Santa.<\/div>\n
\nOnce I fixed the Santa, I white heat embossed and die cut the sentiment panel<\/div>\n
\n(sentiment is from the Craftangles ‘Holly Jolly Christmas”<\/a> stamp set)<\/div>\n
\nand popped it up with some 3D foam tape.<\/div>\n
\nI added some Craftangles sequins<\/a> and adhered the panel to a kraft card base.<\/div>\n
\nCheck out the video below to see how Santa wobbles!<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis next card is a shaker card.<\/div>\n
\nFor this, I used an image from the <\/div>\n
\nCraftangles ‘Bearing Gifts’<\/a> stamp set.<\/div>\n
\nI love this rolling bear!! There is so much movement in this image.<\/div>\n
\nSo I decided to make him frolic in the snow!<\/div>\n
\nI created a circular shaker panel using Simon Says Stamp stitched dies and filled it with <\/div>\n
\nCraftangles ‘Ivory hearts’ <\/a>and silver sequins.<\/div>\n
\nI tore a few panels of white card stock and layered them to create the effect of snow banks.<\/div>\n
\nI inserted the bear cut out (stamped, watercoloured and fussy cut) and added the sentiment, also from the Craftangles ‘Bearing gifts’<\/a> stamp set.<\/div>\n
\nI finished the card by adding some of the same sequins on the outside and adhering the shaker panel to a white card base.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the final card, I used the Craftangles ‘plaid’ stencil<\/a> to create the background as well as the circular spinner chanel. I diecut the spinner chanel using the Queen and company circular frame die.<\/div>\n
\nI stamped, coloured (with Steadler watercolour pencil) and fussy cut the toys from Simon Says Stamp ‘Christmas Toys’ stamp set and added them as cute little spinner elements on the card.<\/div>\n
\nI added the sentiment..also from the same stamp set and some sequins to finish the card.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIm linking up this card to the Simon Says Stamp ‘Christmas Card Day’ challenge.<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\nI hope I have inspired you to make some too!<\/div>\n
