Welcome to the All Star Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop!
Today we have a wonderful hop showcasing additional projects we created using the Nests of Winter Suite Collection featured in our November 2024 tutorial. I hope you enjoy my creation.
As the holiday season approaches, finding time to craft thoughtful handmade cards can be a challenge, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Today, I’m excited to share a quick and beautiful Christmas card tutorial that combines elegance with simplicity—a perfect project for even the busiest holiday schedule! This DIY card features a custom “Christmas bauble” focal point using an easy masking and blending technique. This design is versatile, too; you can easily adjust the colors and theme to suit any occasion.
Why You’ll Love Making This Card
This project is perfect for a few key reasons:
- Fast & Festive: You can make multiple cards quickly with this technique, perfect for building up your stash or creating coordinated sets to send to family and friends.
- Beautifully Simple: With just a few simple steps, you’ll create a polished look that appears intricate but is actually beginner-friendly.
- Customize with Ease: By changing the ink color, stamp pattern, or ribbon, you can adapt this bauble design to fit any holiday or celebration.
Step-by-Step Highlights
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to:
- Mask and Blend: Using masking paper, we’ll create a circle cut-out to create a bauble effect with ink blending. This step is fun and adds a pop of color around the stamped focal point, giving the look of a 3D ornament.
- Stamp Inside the Mask: I’ll demonstrate how to position a beautiful winter scene inside the bauble using the bird from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set.
- Add Finishing Details: Finally, we’ll draw in the “string” for the bauble with a marker and add a ribbon bow for a simple but eye-catching touch.
This card is a perfect balance between creativity and efficiency, making it easy to recreate with just a few tools and supplies.
The Nests of Winter Suite Collection is a perfectly peaceful collection of card making and paper crafting goods for winter or year-round use!
With adorable birds and organic textures and tones, you’ll love creating Christmas and holiday cards for your favorite people with this collection. Each item specially coordinates with one another. Some of the dies also directly coordinate with one of the bird paper designs!
