Christmas Greetings Thinlets – A Stamping Journey

I shared my cute angel card a few posts back. If you missed that you can head to that post HERE. The day I made that one I coloured a few images from this ‘Christmas Cuties’ stamp set. I was in the mood for colouring! I am not a colourer usually (is that even a word??) but sometimes it’s relaxing just colouring away. That must be why colouring books are such the rage now. Anyway, back to these cards. Firstly I will show you the images as I coloured each one with a different medium. Then I will show you the cards.

The angel (the one shared in a previous post) is coloured with watercolour pencils. The middle elf is coloured with watercoloured pencils. The next elf is coloured with the aquapainter and inkpads.(Don’t look too closely at the colouring!). As you can see though you end up with a different intensity of colour. I will show you the finished cards now and I will show you one coloured with the Stampin’ Write markers too.

The watercoloured pencil elf.

The base card is Mossy Meadow and I have adhered a piece of ‘Home for Christmas’ DSP to the base. The rest of the card was made up of “bits” left lying on my table. The greeting I decided not to use on a previous project. I had heat embossed it in White Embossing Powder. I added some Silver Glimmer Paper behind it. Then I raised up my little elf on this. It was a bit plain at the top so I punched out a scrap of Silver Glimmer Paper with the little Banner punch. I added a silver metal button and some silver cord. I kinda liked this cute card. 🙂

The next one coloured with the Aquapainter and inkpads.

I embossed a piece of white card with the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder and added this to a Real Red Card base. Then I simply layered a red and a white oval and raised up my little elf with dimensionals. The greeting is cut from silver foil sheets from the ‘Christmas Greetings’ Thinlets. What a happy chappy he is! I thought I would add a little dazzle and add some Dazzling Diamonds to his hat.

Now I will show you another card I made a bit earlier than these cards. This card was made for a recent Stamp A Stack and was inspired by one on Pinterest. On this elf I coloured him with the Markers. The colour is a bit more intense.

That’s all for my little Christmas cuties. Check out these cute images. They are available for $40 wood or $30 clear mount. You can order them directly through me or at my store HERE.

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you can have some fun colouring soon too.

Stop by and visit again soon,

Have you checked out the Holiday Catalogue yet??? What is on your wish list?? There are so many great products it is hard to choose. I have the link in the right side bar for you to check out if you haven’t already. I was playing with some of the new things they other day I made up this set of cards to show you. They are using the new ‘Christmas Greetings’ Thinlets. I have a little trick I wanted to tell you about.

I will show you each card close up so you can see them better. The layouts were inspired by some cards I had seen on Pinterest.

I cut a circle from Cherry Cobbler card and then embossed it with the Woodland Embossing Folder. There is some lovely Vellum sheets in the Holiday Catalogue but I don’t have them as yet so I have used the Gold Fancy Foil Vellum from the Annual Catalogue. I adhered some Whisper White card on to the back of the vellum. Don’t you just love the cute Reindeer clips??? I tied some Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine onto them. I cut the words from the ‘Christmas Greetings’ Thinlets (p34) from Gold Foil Sheets.

TIP: In this set of Thinlets there are 3 words “peace”, “merry” and “jolly”. Now I didn’t want jolly for this so when I cut the word I then carefully snipped off the “ll’s”. If you cut it off near to the “l” letters then you have a little tail. I adhered the tail of the “y” over the “o” tail. Does that make sense? Using the new Fine Tip Glue Pen (p 43) it makes it easy to adhere the letters together and also adhere the letters to the circle. You only need a very little bit let me tell you. I found that you needed to just hold the piece down for a minute to take hold.

Hope you like these cards. I’m loving playing with this new stuff. Go check the catalogue out if you haven’t already done so.

Have an awesome day 🙂
