\nHello! <\/div>\n
\nToday I have a few Christmas cards which I have made using Craftangles stencils.<\/a><\/div>\n
\nIt was a lot of fun using them in different ways!!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the first card, I created a background blending together Tim Holtz distress inks and Distress oxide inks<\/a> on Craftangles grey cardstock.<\/div>\n
\nI then used the Craftangles ‘dots’ stencil<\/a> and Hero Arts Unicorn white ink to create interest.<\/div>\n
\nI then added a birch trees die cut, Impression Obsession birds die cut and a torn piece of white paper to create the snow bank.<\/div>\n
\nI finished the cards with Craftangles clear sequins.<\/a><\/div>\n
\nI stamped the sentiment using a misti tool and two colours of Tim Holtz distress inks, one on top of the other.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the second card, I stated by using the Craftangles stripes stencil<\/a>, first in one direction and then in the opposite direction to create a checked pattern.<\/div>\n
\nI do not have a poinsettia stamp, so I created the poinsettia flower using a single leaf from an old Stampendous stamp set. <\/div>\n
\nI stamped four leaves, masked them and then stamped them again to create the poinsettia.<\/div>\n
\nI then embossed this flower with gold embossing powder, water coloured it, fussy cut it and popped it up on the background using 3D foam tape.<\/div>\n
\nI added a wooden button in the centre for interest.<\/div>\n
\nI heat embossed a sentiment from Hero arts and a swirl from a Hot of the Press stamp set.<\/div>\n
\nI finished the card using Craftangles ruby red sequins and gold sequins.<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the third card, I stamped a plaid background onto red cardstock with black ink.<\/div>\n
\nI then created a panel using Craftangles ‘leaves’ stencil <\/a> and Tim holtz distress ink.<\/a><\/div>\n
\nand watercoloured some berries among the stencilled leaves.<\/div>\n
\nI then matted this panel on green cardstock and then onto the black plaid bakckground. <\/div>\n
\nI added a stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on vellum <\/div>\n
\nalong with some Craftangles sequins<\/a> to finish the card.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the fourth card, I created a simple red and white background using the Craftangles ‘Stripes’ stencil <\/a>and Tim Holtz ‘festive berries’ distress ink.<\/a><\/div>\n
\nI overlaid this background with a  vellum panel with a simple heat embossed christmas tree and sentiment from Hero Arts. I finished the card with some  red self adhesive gemstones to add some sparkle!<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor the fifth card, I used the Craftangles ‘Stripes’ stencil<\/a> again, <\/div>\n
\nthis time with Tim Holtz ‘Black Soot’ ink<\/a>. To create interest, I added some red lines using my red signo gel pen, in between the black stripes. <\/div>\n
\nI overlaid this panel with a vellum panel attached using black rivets.<\/div>\n
\nI then stamped and die cut the images (Stampendous) and added them to the card using 3D foam tape. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto the vellum and popped up the entire panel using 3D foam tape onto a red cardstock panel and then onto a white card base.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI had a blast making these simple cards..<\/div>\n
\nI hope I have inspired you to give Craftangles stencils<\/a> a try!!!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThanks so much for stopping by!<\/div>\n
\nHave a great day!<\/div>\n
