I'm sharing two cards with you today. Both cards were made with the supplies from the Limited Edition Holiday Card Kit (supply links below). I really love the stamp set that comes in the Holiday Kit. It's called Swell Christmas! It has the cutest retro Santa in it! And the best vintage inspired sentiments!! Oh, and I reallllllly love plaid paper! LOL.
All the papers for this card are included in the kit. I started with a pretty red card base and layered kraft cardstock on top. Then I layered the plaid paper and one strip of holly paper. I layered pretty Lawn Fawn Cord to make a pretty red and white bow. The sparkly stickers are part of the kit! I die cut a piece of cream cardstock with the Stitched Squares Dies to stamp on. I stamped in brown ink instead of black. That gives more of a vintage feeling to the project. I colored Santa with my Copic Markers and then gave him a glitter makeover! I used the tiny accent stars stamps in Antique Linen Distress Ink to give a soft background.
These stickers are puffy and delicious!!
A close up of my paper layers….
Next up is my second card, which I made using the enclosed Tim Holtz stencil and the included texture paste! I made a little forest scene and then embellished with more sparkly stickers and the included shimmer paper (in red).
I used the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Slopes and Hills Dies to make the bottom polka dot border for the trees. I edged everything with a sponge dauber and distress inks.
So this got kind of messy!! In the Holiday Card Kit you will receive beautiful green Stickles and two green mini Distress Inks, and texture paste! Yeah! So, I got this crazy idea to mix a bunch of stuff together! I mixed the inks, the Stickles and the texture paste into a pretty green goo. I used this along with the stencil to make my trees! FUN. It was a good experiment! (They don't always turn out good!)
For my last step I used the included red Stickles to add ornaments to the trees!
Okay, that's it for me today! Thank you again for coming by! I just know you are going to enjoy the rest of the hop. Next in the hop lineup is my Simon Says Stamp partner Nina Marie!!

Beautiful cards! Love the vintage look to both cards! Fabulous kit & fabulous hop!
Adorable Santa card. I like ur paper selection!
Such fun and beautiful cards!! I got tickled reading about your green “goo” experiment… and very happy it turned out beautifully for you! I will have to play more with texture, thank you for your amazing inspiration!! 🙂
Both cards are fantastic! The tree stencil look like so much fun as does the retro Santa!
Great cards. That Santa reminds me of my childhood. Just love!
I love both of the cards you made for the blog hop. They both have vintage feel to them which makes them even more cool 🙂
Oh my gosh! Be still my heart… that old fashioned winking Santa!
I adore the Vintage Santa face, such a cute card. The pine tree stencil is great, love to try that technique.
I love the trees.
Two inspiring cards. Love the vintage look of Santa and the dimension to the trees.

Your card is sweet – old fashioned! Have been coloring images for weeks now – still have to put them on the base cards. Oh the time… where does it go??

Retro Santa rocks! I like your evergreens as well.
Fantastic cards!!! I just Love the Santa set!!!
Both cards are beautiful. I like the idea to mix the stickles with the texture paste. It looks great.
I just love the retro Santa card. It made me smile
These cards are Vintage perfection! Both are spectacularly splendid but I really love the second one! The two background papers and the sparkly red paper and silver 25 bring a huge smile to my face!!! TFS!
Love your retro-looking cards! Thanks for the tip about stamping Santa in brown instead of black for a more retro feel. Never would have thought to add stickles to texture paste but I love the look you achieved. Thanks for sharing!
That vintage Santa has me remembering Christmas’ long past. We lived on an 80 acre farm in WV. I remember my Mom trying to decorate for us on a budget. Anywho, I love that Santa. Thank you for sharing your cards!
Cheers for the amazing and creative inspiring tree card! My children and I spend time together creating holiday cards, gift tags, and gift boxes for the homemade goodies we make in the kitchen to give to family and friends. We enjoy our creative bonding time as we craft homemade gifts for people near and far. Happy Holidays!
Great cards. And thanks, I am so glad you added the final portion to tell how your created the trees!

Love your cards. paatterned paper are beautiful but what Inlove the most is the embossing paste on the tree. Love that tone of green. Hugs.
I really love the paper too! Christmas-themed patterned paper is probably my favourite, which is saying a lot since I use patterned paper for nearly all my notebook covers. (:
