Today, guest Kim Taylor has some holiday inspiration for you using the You Lift Me Up Set which is still in stock, so grab it before it is gone.
From Kim:
It’s July so that means it’s time to start making Christmas cards!!
For these two sweet cards I used a combination of You Lift Me Up Set, Magical Holiday Moments (out of stock) and the Holiday Joy 6×6 Paper Pad.
I stamped the images with Versafine Black Onyx on Canson XL Watercolour paper and then heat set them with clear embossing powder. I used Distress Inks to watercolour the images adding some extra sparkle with gel pens for accents. The papers from the Holiday Joy 6×6 Paper Pad go perfectly with these sets! For the card with the Green and Gold theme I stacked up several layers of the die by cutting my ‘scraps’ of white cardstock and gluing them together. The top layer is Hammermill 80lb smooth white. I used a fun stitched sentiment die set and stamped on it in a coordinating green dye ink. For the Blue and White set I made a mini shaker with the globe die by stacking extra layers of scrap cardstock and adding some acetate under the top layer after putting some chunky glitter in to add some shine and festive fun!
I hope you find some inspiration in my cards today and are motivated to start thinking about making some Christmas cards of your own!
Happy creating!
Kim
