Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is a quick – almost “wordless Wednesday” – card share:
I am still stash-busting and using up product to make some farmhouse kitchen style Xmas cards. I love the Kraft with Red and Black so much!
I hope your day was a good one!

Hello and happy Saturday! How about some farmhouse style Christmas cards for a change? I still have some fabulous papers from my DT time at Canvas Corp Brands and I wanted to make some cards with them for Christmas.
So I picked their mix & match paper pad called “Farmhouse Christmas” and did these three cards. I have been joining a Christmas cards swap group over at Flickr for (I think) at least 5 years now, if not longer?! and this year I´ m joining in again – one of these cards might just end up be sent for my swap partner. I will also need to do quite few cards, like every year, so it´ s good to have a set done already.
These cards are very easy to do, thanks to the paper pad. I just basically cut the papers into a right size and adhered everything on place. That´ s it! BUT, because the papers are so cool, they really still look special.
Wishing you all a great weekend! Hope all is good at your end? Here the covid numbers are again rising. Somehow there just seems to be no end to this… hoping we will not start with lockdowns again.

Happy Monday everyone! How about another set of Christmas cards? These again are fairly easy to create. You just need a piece of this patterned paper on ivory, a few of your favorite Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist tones, some burlap to go with the mists and finally some chipboard, a piece of twine, some Christmas sentiment stamps and a paper glue. And if you want, a few half pearls to finalize the “ornaments”.
Here is a finished set of cards:
I first cut the patterned paper into a right size, then I misted the pieces with blue, green and brown Glimmer Mist.
Next I added some white paint droplets onto the background. Then I cut the burlap (black, blue & green) to match the size of the chipboard ornaments (these are by the way by Wycinanka). I then first glued the piece of burlap down onto the card, then adhered the chipboard piece.
Next I added the twine and painted some parts of the ornament with red glimmer mist. I also added a few red pearls here and there for additional decoration.
Finally I just added a stamped sentiment on a banner (the banner is cut from ivory carstock).
On some cards I used a white pen (Signo Uni-ball) for adding highligh instead of the red Glimmer Mist painted parts.
Naturally you could also leave the paper as it is. Just adhere it down to a card base as it is and then add some chipboard elements over it. These can be plain or painted like on my last card. The paper is really lovely also as it is!
Hope you have enjoyed reading thru this post,
wishing you all a happy Holiday Season!!

Hello and Happy Friday everyone!!! Did you create handmade Christmas cards this year? I did. I sent a few on their way around the globe very early, as I participated on a Christmas Card Swap for the 4th year in a row. It has become such a fun tradition and I would not want to miss it for anything – if you are interested in joining, then look this group up over at Flickr!!
And then to my first set of cards. I´ve been creating with the lovely Christmas collections (Farmhouse Christmas & Jolly Christmas) from Canvas Corp Brands this year. Let´s start with a set of Farmhouse Christmas cards:
I love the black and kraft snowflake paper! It is so very pretty! Here is how I created these cards:
This was my starting point. Some brown Glimmer Glam, burlap, patterned paper and a few chipboard pieces. I glued the patterned paper onto white card bases first.
Next I added droplets of White Metallic High Impact paint onto the patterned paper.
Next I fussy cut some tags from the Farmhouse tags on Ivory paper and misted them with Verdigris, Turquoise Blue and Vanilla Breeze Glimmer Mist tones.
While the paint and the misted pieces were drying, I painted the chipboard pieces with brown Glimmer Glam tone (Bon Bon).
And while the Glimmer Glam was still wet, I added a thin layer of Rock Candy Distress Glitter over the painted pieces and let that dry. When the paint dries, the Glitter will stick to the surface – no glue needed. Then all I needed to do was to layer the burlap and the misted tags onto the patterned paper. I also added some twine, seam binding, pearls and some silver netting onto the cards. So easy and very fast to create!!
I hope you enjoyed this little step-by-step – do come back in a few days time to check out my next set of Christmas cards!!
Here is one more extra card – created in a similar way, I have just used various brown tones for coloring the door – the paints are from the Tattered Angels paints range 🙂
Happy crafting,
