Well, I know it's been quite a while since my last post. With Christmas is around the corner, I made a couple of Christmas cards, though we don't celebrate Christmas in Taiwan. It's a good excuse to make some season's greeting projects.
The first card was inspired by a project I saw from danipeuss. I punched out 3 stars from a red pattern paper, and layered it with a tiny polka dot pattern paper, cut in the shape of a banner.

This card is very clean and simple.

I put some glossy accent on the berries to add some glow.

I like red. It's so holiday-y and bright and cheer. It matches Christmas so well. But mint is one of my favorite colors, and I want to use the color on my card but keep it to the holiday celebration. So here's what I came up with.

My second card was started off with a background paper. I used mint watercolor on a watercolor paper, I did a little bit ombre effect, set aside to let dry.
Since my watercolor was on my desk, I cut a piece of cardstock, stamped Peace, Joy, Love with VersaMark ink and white embossed it. And then I brushed red watercolor on the stamped greeting.

After the background paper was dry, I stamped randomly with some Christmas trees using Cozy Christmas stamp set from Ellen Hutson with VersaMark ink. White embossed. I also stamped it with white pigment ink to fill in the spaces in between.

I died cut 3 little houses with the matching dies from Cozy Christmas by Ellen Hutson. Put some snow-tex and dusted with glitter. I also died cut 2 deer from a gold cardstock. And then assembled my card.

When I saw this Santa sticker, I knew I have to made a card with that adorable image! And when I made my third card, I thought why not put red and mint and gold together!
I wrote HO HO HO with red watercolor onto a piece of watercolor cardstock. And then I stuck the Santa and presents sticker onto a piece of white crafting foam, fussy cut them out.

I then stamped Merry from Very Merry stamp set by Neat and Tangled, with VersaMark ink and used sticky embossing powder. I heat embossed the image and sprinkled with gold glitter by Heidi Swapp.
The sticky embossing powder was not working as well as I thought, so I used a glue pen to fill in the gaps where needed so that the glitter can stay properly.
And then I fussy cut the word out.
I have to admit that it was the most difficult part of this card. XD

Finally, I used mint stripe washi tape and gold star washi to decorate the card. Finishing with some gold sequins.
Hope you like these cards!

再過幾天就是聖誕節，雖然這個節日在台灣是商人炒作的噱頭，不過國外早在感恩節前就到處洋溢的過節的氣氛，剛好魔力手作挑戰這一次的主題也是聖誕節，應應景地做了幾張聖誕卡。第一張卡片是從網路上一個禮物包裝得來的靈感，重點是整張卡片留白的面積要夠多，再點綴幾個大大小小的金色星星。
第二張卡片的背景紙是自製的，因為我很喜歡薄荷綠這個顏色，在做這張卡片時就決定要用這個顏色。先用水彩做好底色，刻意在底部的地方加重顏色作出漸層的效果，等顏色乾了之後再用白色油性印台蓋上聖誕樹的章，但是覺得效果不夠明顯，於是灑上白色燙凸粉燙凸，忽遠忽近的效果就出來了。底紙做好之後，妝飾用刀模切出房子和麋鹿。中間的Peace Joy Love 用紅色水彩刷色，爲整張卡片增添一點節慶的氛圍。
最後一張卡片完全是衝著溜冰的聖誕老人去的！初看到這張貼紙時覺得好cute，實在是太喜歡了所以決定要把他放在卡片裏。為了搭配可愛的貼紙，背景也是拿了畫筆沾了紅色水彩自己手寫HO HO HO。然後拿merry印章蓋印，灑上黏性凸粉燙凸後，快速灑上粗顆粒的亮粉。不過不知道是粗顆粒的亮粉不容易黏，還是黏性禿粉的效果不佳，我還是拿出膠水補了補才又灑亮粉。這張卡片最困難的地方就是------>拿剪刀把merry剪出形狀來........ 依賴刀模慣了，再回歸原始的手工剪花樣果然是需要練習的。最後拿了條紋和星星的和紙膠帶妝飾底紙就完成啦。
