Hi there! Here is a quick flip-thru of some of the Christmas cards I created this year.
I used Graphic45 papers, Gansai Tambi Starry Color pigments for sparkle, Rubber Dance stencils (Dotted) with Distress Oxide inks for background details on the cards and STAMPlorations ephemera for focal points.

Hello, I am up over at the Rubber Dance blog again today with another clean and simple card Christmas card share. For these cards I used some gelli printed collage papers, the Xmas Trees 2 stencil and the Kartengrüße stamp set. For the collage paper I had used the Textured Xmas Trees 2 and the Mix It Up 4 stamp set.
I basically combined the ideas from my previously shared Christmas cards here. I die cut the collage paper with the Textured Xmas Trees 2 pattern on it with circle die cut dies. And the Mix It Up 4 set circle stamp patterned paper is traced thru the Xmas Trees 2 stencil and then fussy cut. I then adhered both pieces to a white card base, added a sentiment stamp with the Kartengrüße stamp set and some golden pigment droplets here and there.
For the second card I basically did the same, except the stamped sentiment is on the card base, not on the collage paper. Also the golden pigment droplets are on the collage paper and the stamped stars are colored with the same golden color. For stamping those I used the Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set.
Here is one more bonus card, for which I just added some stenciling with the Ornament 1 stencil as a background and arranged some collage paper trees on top. I had some left over and didn´t want them to go to waste.
Have fun creating some of your own!!

Hello, I am up over at the Rubber Dance blog today with a clean and simple card idea. I used the Ornament 1 stencil and the Kartengrüße stamp set to make these cards.
I started by inking a piece of white cardstock with “kitsch flamingo” Distress Oxide ink. next I placed the Ornament 1 stencil on top of the inked paper and applied a darker red tone, “candied apple”, thru the stencil onto paper.
After that I die cut the paper into two different sized circles. I then inked the edges with the darker red toned ink and added some golden dots with a water brush onto them.
Then I just drew some strings for the baubles to hang onto the card base and adhered the circles on place. After that I stamped a sentiment with black ink onto the cards using the Kartengrüße stamp set.
I also added some golden droplets to the card bases for additional interest in the end just for fun. Here are the finished cards:
I hope you enjoy this card idea and make some Christmas bauble cards yourself.
Happy crafting,

Hello, here is a set of stenciled Xmas cards I created using Rubber Dance products: Dotted stencil, Kartengrüße stamp set and Xmas Trees 2 stencil.
I used Distress Oxide in two tones for the background with the Dotted stencil. I started by inking the whole background with the first ink layer. After that I placed the Dotted stencil on top and added the second blue tone thru the stencil.
Next I took some Gansai Tambi Starry Colors golden pigment and added droplets to the background. After that I grabbed some Graphic45 Christmas papers and drew along the stencil tree patterns of the Xmas Trees 2 stencil with a black pen. Then I fussy cut the images and adhered them to the card.
For the sentiment I used the Kartengrüße stamp set with black ink. Next I stamped some stars to the treetops (Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set) and colored the stars with golden pigment. For finishing touches I also added some golden dots to the blue toned, fussy cut, trees. The ink tones I used for the backgrounds are: peacock feathers, speckled egg and salvaged patina.
Here is the video step-by-step:
I hope you like the card idea and create some fun stenciled Xmas cards too! Happy crafting,

Hello everyone! I´ve got some exciting news to share today! After a break of 3,5 years due to Shery´s breast cancer journey, she is now again opening up the STAMPlorations store. And to celebrate that, here are some discounts for you until December 31st 2025:
These are some awesome discounts!!! Check out the store and get yours before she sells out :).
I have been playing with her paper goods abit and using the ephemera for some Christmas cards. Also adding some sentiment stickers to my Xmas cards. Here are a few I made:
And then there was some more :)…
And a bit more 🙂
and then some 🙂
I just love the stickers and the ephemera!! I´ve even sneaked in a stencil of mine, but those will be available to a later date again.
Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is another set of Christmas cards I made:
For these two cards I used Lindy´s spray ink in green and light brown to draw the circles after that I added random ink splatters with another tone of spray ink, outlined with a black pen and adhered the clear stickers on top.
On the second card I also used Nuvo Drops with loose golden glitter for additional sparkle.
For the pink card I used a snowflake stamped image with a paper badge from my older stash, added a Studio Tekturek paper as background and stamped with Klartext stamps and red ink the sentiment.
Happy crafting,

Hello and happy Tuesday! Here is another set of Christmas cards:
I used the same products and techniques on this card again. What can I say, these baubles are addictive :).
Here I went a bit wild and used an orange spray ink tone and added some dotted stamping on top. They look a bit like oranges, when you think about it ;-). I also added some stamping on top of the baubles.
For this one I used Vicky Boutin Warm Wishes paper on the background. On top I added a Studio Tekturek tag that I had left over in my stash. The embellishment (dog image) is from my older stash and the stamping is done with a Klartext stamp again.
There will be more cards to share, so do come back tomorrow again :).

Hello! Here is another set of Christmas cards I made for this holiday season:
For this card I used music note papers and stamped Klartext stamp images onto them, then fussy cut the trees and adhered them onto the card base. I then hand drew the “tree trunks” and decorated the trees with Nuvo Drops and some rhinestone stars. For stamping the trees I used Distress Oxide inks.
I also had to join the hand drawn Christmas bauble trend that is going strong on various social media sites this year. I used spray inks for “painting” the baubles and then outlined them with a black pen and added some golden glitter onto them and finished the card with a clear sticker sentiment.
And here is another try on the Christmas bauble trends. This time I use Lindy´s spray ink and made them all in the same colour and again outlined with a black pen and added details with a Signo uni-ball white pen. For finishing touches there is again a clear sticker sentiment.
And it was fun making these!
There might be more coming 😉

Hello! Here is another set of Christmas card I made for this holiday season:
On the first one I used again a Martha Stewart snowflake punch and Vicky Boutin Warm Wishes collection papers. In addition to that I added star rhinestones and some faux stitching around the edges.
On this card I used solely Canvas Corp Brands papers. Also the printed fabric piece is from their collections.
For my last card I again used a Cuttlebug embossing folder with cardstock and then added some papers I had been gifted (sadly, don´t remember by whom). And then I again added s clear sticker for sentiment.
This year is very much a very clean and simple type of Christmas card year!

Hello and happy Saturday! Here is another set of Christmas cards I made:
For these two cards, I again used the Vicky Boutin Christmas paper collection from last year. The chipboard elements are also from that collection. The stamping is done with a Klartext stamp and the faux stitching is done by hand. I also recycled older “regular” card images and added those as focal point to each of the cards.
I really like this paper alot! Too bad it is all used up now. I am really liking grey at the moment on cards.
Hope your holiday preparations are going well?
