Hi Friends,

Have you started your Christmas cards yet? Some of you are already done! It's not too late to get started on your cards.

Today, DT Val created two variations using the same stamp. For those who like simple, one is just perfect for you. For those of you who like layers and details then she has the perfect one for you.

Follow along to find out how to make these cute cards.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good Morning, Crafters! I've created two similar Christmas cards. One is more simple, and the other has a little more going on on it!

The two stamps I'm using on both cards are Chickie Christmas Trio and Merry Christmas. 

On this first card (an A2 size) , I created a bunch of layers with the patterned papers, and added the tag with bow. 

​

I die cut the rectangular shaped from a die sets.

​

I wanted to have a similar card, but more simple, so I made a second one! This one would be much easier to make a bunch of!

​

This one is smaller than the first one; it's only 3 1/2" x 5". I also rounded the corners on this one.

​

Thank you for stopping by today, and Happy Crafting!

DT Lisa P, created a wonderful layered card that is simple enough to duplicate. You can easily change out the elements with flowers, chickies, scenes, etc, to customize to your recipient or based on your style.
You can also just change out the color scheme by making it bright, black and white, or neutral.

Hello! Lisa P. here. I am totally smitten with the new CR04 Heartfelt Blessings Stamp Set from DeNami Design. Nami’s hand lettering is absolutely beautiful, and the sentiments are perfect for so many occasions. Today I’m sharing a baby card I made using one of the sentiments from the set.

I used LOTS of goodies from the DeNami Design Shop on this card (I’ve included a complete supply list at the end of this post). Here’s a closer look at the details:

Hi DeNami friends,

DT Lisa P created a lovely and sparkly card in two ways. It is great to have different ways of adding embellishments, depending on your tastes and time constraints. I love them both. Which do you like better?

Read how Lisa does it below:

Hello, DeNami Design friends! It’s Lisa P. Today I’m sharing a couple of examples of how you can dress up your projects with rhinestones and/or glitter. It’s so simple to do and really adds a touch of pizzazz to your cards.

Here’s my first card:

 

I started by stamping and heat embossing the gorgeous K24 Thank You Script in gold on a white cardstock panel. I then repeatedly stamped the E116 Medium Solid Filigree image across the bottom. (Note: I started in the center and worked my way out to the edges. I also used a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig tool, which is very helpful when trying to line up wood-mounted images.) I added rhinestones to each of the filigree images and edged the bottom of the panel with gold embossing powder.

Here’s a closer look:

 

 

My second card uses the same layout and images, but this time around I used glitter for my touches of sparkle.

I used a glue pad to stamp the E116 Medium Solid Filigree images and sprinkled them with SS17 Magenta Sparklets Glitter. You should see how incredibly shimmery this is in real life! WOW!

Here’s a closer look:

I hope you like my projects for today and feel inspired to add a bit of bling to your future creations. Have a fantastic day! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Friends,

We have a special treat today! I have asked my friend, Tina, to write a special blogpost for you all. She is founder and writer for The DeNami Addict blog.
Not only is she a great friend of DeNami, but she has many creative ideas to share. She took the J149 Winter Branch and showed the versatility in it. Each project looks different than the other, but all equally lovely.

Let's let Tina explain it in her own words:
 

Today I want to show you a fun new way that you may not have thought of to use the DeNami Winter Branch.

First let me show you what I made this past week...

I know what you're thinking, but no, it's not the Winter Tree or the Simple Tree. Those are much larger and you could never fit three across on a standard A2 sized card. This is the Winter Branch just turned up on it's end. I stamped it at various heights then using 3 marker colors - gold, maroon & light green - I simply added dots for the leaves. I added a scalloped panel with a length of ribbon to hide the ends of the branches and there you go, an easy peasy fall themed card.

Stamps Used:

J149 Winter Branch

F137 Small Brushed Thinking Of You

Now like I was mentioning earlier, this little branch can be changed up for soooo many different looks!

Here's a couple of ideas that that I was playing around with after making my card -

For the one on the far left I simply added the fir sprig in a dark green then using  2 lighter greens stamped over a few of the fir sprigs here and there to add contrast. For the other one I added a few sparse fir sprigs then hung some ornaments from it. Since I was just playing around my stamping isn't as good as it would be on a finished card but you get the gist of what I was trying to accomplish. For the one on the right I would firstly stamp the Winter Branch then stamp the ornaments. I'd stamp the ornaments again on a post it note or other thin scrap and cut them out for a mask before stamping the fir sprigs. 

Stamps Used:

J149 Winter Branch

PF02 Classic Christmas Stamp Set

PF22 Mini Ornament Stamp Set

Here's two other cards that I made ages ago using this little branch -

By just using a little selective inking I made a simple little branch. Isn't perfect perch for a little tweety bird? *There is a stamp with two Tweety birds holding a heart called E125 Tweety Birds with Heart, however, I don't happen to own that stamp. So, being a genius on that particular day, I improvised and used the Single Tweety Bird, Mini Heart and inked up just one bird from the Tweety Bird Border and made my own ;)

J149 Winter Branch
