Merry Christmas Cards featuring the A Merry Little Christmas Kit

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with 2 cards using the A Merry Little Christmas Kit.

Card #1 - Merry Christmas

I gathered the supplies from the kit. I have the Decoupage paper, the specialty gold cardstock, the puffy Reindeer trim and the red and green pearl stickers. From my stash I have white card base, White, Green and Red cardstock and adhesive.

I start by inserting a piece of white cardstock into my Xyron Creative Station Lite. I will use this for the decoupage paper. I adhere the decoupage paper to the white cardstock it measured 4"x51/4".

Next I adhere a strip of green cardstock to the bottom of the card panel. It measures 1"x4". I then adhere the reindeer trim on the seam of the green cardstock. Next I die cut the Merry Christmas from the Gold specialty paper and adhere it below the reindeer in the center.  I then adhere one of the red mini pearls to the nose of the first reindeer. Making him into Rudolph.

 

Now, the card is not complete!

It Should Be Celebrated

Welcome back! It's Esther on the White Rose Crafts blog - sharing a layout I've made from my adventures during Creativation weekend 2020. My Daugther and I were lucky enough to get to go to the Mucho Mas Art Gallery, for a make and take, and we took lots of selfies. We also made some Marabu Easy Marble ceramic hearts that I hope to scrapbook about sooner than later.

I broke out my KaiserCraft Paper Pad - Party Time that I got from White Rose Crafts and I created this 12x12 Paper Layout.

The background paper was created with KaiserCraft Background Stamps and Oxide Ink Pads.

If you missed my blog post on Creating Background go check it out, then you can buy the stamps at White Rose Crafts. I've seriously used these background stamps in every scrapbook page since I got them. They are my favorite! 

Some of my favorite KaiserCraft background stamps:

• Fading Dots

• Grunged

• Honeycomb

• Leather

• Calligraphy

Paper Used: 

KAISERCRAFT PAPER PAD 6.5"X6.5" 40/PKG - PARTY TIME

I also buy all of my Oxide and Distress Inks from White Rose Crafts. Check out the huge selection, they actually have a bunch of inks on sale right now.

I hope I have inspired you a tiny bit. Remember to share your beautiful creations at the White Rose Crafts Gallery. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Vintage Wreath

Add title

Hey Friends! It's EK and today I am playing around with a Woodware UK stamp set from White Rose Crafts today and some watercolor pencils to create a little vintage feel Christmas card.

I started by stamping out the Woodware Holly Wreath stamp set onto some watercolor paper using some water resistant black ink.

I picked a simple color palette from my spectrum AquaBlend watercolor pencils to help give me that vintage color. I colored just the areas I wanted the heaviest shadow, then using a water-brush, pulled the color across the image.

The berries needed more color, so I added a second layer of color to them.

The card needed more color, so I colored in the corners and added a highlight of red to the center of the wreath.

Here is the final look of the coloring.

I added Dovecraft Glitter Glue to the berries.

I added Autumn Red Nuvo Crystal Drops to the berries on the corners.

I love how this super simple card turned out. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below. Until then, happy crafting.

Go with the Flow

Hello! Alison here. Today, my White Rose Crafts post is what was supposed to be a card with AALL & Create's Sea Life stamp set, but turned out to be an art piece instead. My son was working in my craft room making a birthday card as I created this piece, and he loved it so much that he said it needed to be his. So I switched gears a little. Made it bigger, added embossing powder, etc. so that he could hang it in his room like he wanted. Needless to say I was really touched by this (the conversation was quite comical...he essentially demanded I give him the piece in the nicest way possible), and I am so glad he loves it. I hope you like it too.

I knew I wanted a Gel Press background to start with, and I found one that was mostly aqua and green, and had a lot of my "roll-off" (the excess paint from my brayer) on it, so it had only subtle patterning. I thought it was perfect for my "water." I stamped the gorgeous Whale stamp on to the monoprint and decided to color it with Copics.

I really love using teals with olive greens and magenta. I thought it would be the perfect color combination for this piece. I really love the collage feel of these stamps. It looks like you've taken a lot of time to layer images, when you really only stamped one thing. I backed the colored image with a deep blue textured cardstock, and added some Shabby Blue embossing powder from Stampendous. I applied it in such a way so that it looks like sea spray.

All in all (pun intended), this didn't take long to create, since my monoprint was already in my stash, and I didn't need to do very detailed coloring. But it looks like it took a while. AALL & Create has quickly become one of my absolute favorite brands to work with, and you can get many of their latest stamps and stencils over at the White Rose Crafts Shop. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Hope For Tomorrow

On this the day of Thanksgiving, the whole White Rose Crafts family wants to take a moment and thank everyone who pops in here regularly to support this little online crafting shop. We know this past year has been really strange and for many difficult. So instead of spouting all that we are thankful for today, we thought instead we would wish you Strength for today, and Hope for tomorrow.

I tried something really out of my comfort zone toady, and pulled a whole host of papers out from different paper packs from White Rose Crafts. The woodgrain paper comes from the LemonCraft House of Roses 12x12 paper pack. The brown doted and blue plaid paper both come from Craft O'Clock Ladies and Gentleman paper pack. Finally I pulled the script paper from the Wild Rose Studio Antique Library.

Each piece of paper got a blending of Ground Espresso Distress Oxide around the edges so they felt more like papers from the same collection.

I stamped out a sweet little hedgehog from the Craft Consortium Over the Hedgehog stamp set. I stamped the image in Ground Espresso Distress Oxide and then watercolored it using the same ink and Brushed Corduroy. I then fussy cut out the image.

On a scrap piece of watercolor paper, I stamped out what I think might be the perfect sentiment for this year from the Kaisercraft Sympathy Words stamp set. I stamped the sentiment in Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide and edged the paper in Ground Espresso.

Using different levels of three dimenstional adhesive, I layered the hedgehog and ephemera from the Craft O'clock Ladies and Gentleman Ephemera Collection. The die cuts got a brush of Ground Espresso Distress Oxide to help blend it in with the rest of the paper.

Finally I tucked in a bunch of buttons and adhesives to finish the card. I used American Craft Faceted Brushed Metallic Gold adhesive gems, DoveCrafts Blue Skies buttons, and Want2Scrap Steel Blue adhesive pearls.

We pray everyone is Thankful for something this year. The whole design team family of at White Rose Crafts is thankful for you. Let me know in the comments below what you are thankful for, or at least what you hope for tomorrow.

Until then, may crafting make you happy.

A new Story Begins

So in the madness of 2020, many online stores found themselves caught inside a dilemma. Do you keep your customers safe and close your doors, or do you solider on? One company that found itself closing its doors for over six months was White Rose Crafts. This is a small company whose owner, Kay, (who is English but lives in the USA) found herself trapped over seas and unable to get home.

Well, it has been a long hard road, but White Rose Crafts doors are back open. If you are unfamiliar with this online shop, it specializes in paper crafts with an international flair. There are all kinds of papers, stamps, dies, stickers, and so much more from all over the world that you just don't always find state side.

I felt it was only fitting today, as I create a new project for WRC, that we focus on new beginnings, since reopening the store is in all intensive purposes a new beginning for White Rose Crafts.

I started by stamping three images from the Consortium Craft (England) Winter Woodland stamp set onto some white card stock.

Using Nuvo Creative Pens, I colored the images and fussy cut them out. I used the Organic Greens, Natural Browns, and Fair Skin Tones.

I trimmed up a piece of two sided printed paper from the Carta Bella Let it Snow paper pack. I trimmed the snowflake side of the paper to 4.25x5.5 inches and trimmed the blue plaid side to .75x5.5 inches. I adhered the paper to an A2 card frame.

Using a liquid adhesive adhere the fussy cut stamp images onto the card frame.

I finally added a sentiment from the Kaisercraft (Austrilla) Romantique Sticker Sheet.

Make sure you pop on over to White Rose Crafts and share some love with the store being back open again!.

Thinking of You

Greetings! Alison here. I am a big fan of AALL & Create, and I am so happy that White Rose Crafts has been carrying their products for some time. And, they just received some of the newest collection...some of which is on it's way to me right at this very moment! So for today's post, I have a couple of (slightly) older products, including the Lil' Magic stamp.

I knew I wanted to use this sweet fairy again. I used her recently on a card HERE. So I colored her up with Copics and fussy cut her. My background was made with the gorgeous Abundance stencil from AALL & Create and was inked up with Dusty Concord, Broken China, and Crushed Olive Distress Oxide. I really love this color combination.

My sentiment is from Kaisercraft's Bombay Sunset paper pad. There are lots of great perforated sentiments in the back of the pad, and I have used them on several cards. I added some color on the edge with a Copic...I think it was Duck Blue. For a little shine, I used a Pearl Swirl from ScrapBerry.

This is another fast, easy to replicate card. Ink Blending is a pretty fast process, and the fairy doesn't take long to color at all. Wouldn't this make a fun Christmas card, just by changing the color palette. Please be sure to visit the White Rose Crafts Gallery on Facebook, and the White Rose Crafts Shop to see all of the newest products. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Fall Slimline Card

Hey Friends! It's EK popping in with a card really different for me. So I have not really been real interested in playing with the new slimline card card-making trend. For me, having to make envelopes does not always sound fun, and for a slimline card I would have to make envelopes. But today, I found a reason to make a slimline card. I love Julie Nutting stamps, but they do not fit on an A2 card, and you have to cut off a portion of the image. So it only seemed natural to venture into this new card making crazy while playing with a collection White Rose Crafts supplies.

I stamped out the Julie Nutting Merry stamp onto some heavy cardstock. Then using the Nuvo Creative Pen Fair Skin Tones and Natural Browns markers to color in the skin and hair. I then fussy cut out the image.

To dress the image, I stamped the clothing onto some fall inspired paper from the Carta Bella Fall Break paper pack. I fussy cut out the clothing and then rounded the edges with a black marker to clean up the cut edges.

Using some liquid adhesive, I dressed the image.

I then created the slimline card and added a trimmed piece of Mulberry Paper in Burgundy. I trimmed some more printed paper from the Fall Break paper pack to 2.5x2.5 inches and added it over the Mulberry Paper. Finally I adhered the girl on top.

To finish the card I stamped a fall sentiment from the Stampendous stamp set onto some white cardstock using Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide.

Have you played along with the slimline cards yet? Do you make your envelopes to go along with it?

And do you ever paper piece your favorite stamps? Let me know in the comments below. Until then, happy crafting!
