Narly Jelly Christmas Card Fun!

Hello friends! It's Karla back today with two fun Christmas cards using some of the adorable new Lawn Fawn stamp sets, Snow Day Remix Paper Pad and some fabulous Distress Oxide Sprays that I absolutely love!! For these two cards I started out by colouring images from the Winter Narwhal mini stamp set, Ho-Ho-Holidays (presents/sack), Christmas Fishes (jellyfish) along with an older set Simply Celebrate Winter (ornaments and presents in row).


I sprayed some white cardstock with 3 colours from the Summer Distress Oxide Release - Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch and Seedless Preserves to coordinate with my coloured images. I love the process of creating these backgrounds - really no two will be the same! I usually mist my paper lightly with water first and then apply two colours, partially dry, spray a third colour on my craft mat, dip, dry, mist with water.... It's not really a science, but more of an experiment! I used a sentiment from the Winter Narwhal stamp set to emboss with Emerald Creek Glacier White Embossing Powder, one of my fav detail white powders!! and popped up some of the images with foam dots for dimension.


Inside, I stamped a sentiment and music notes from the Christmas Fishes stamp set using Tim Holtz Archival Mini Inks.


For the second card I cut another border from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day Remix paper pad using a stitched border die. I popped it up with foam tape around my misted background, which I had added stenciled bubbles to, using a Southern Ridge Trading Company Soda Fizz stencil and my new fav Tonic-Nuvo Moonstone Glitter Glimmer Paste. I love the shimmery, semi-translucent effect you get with this paste 💜 I added some gel pen details to the stamped images and included a word bubble from the older Say What Christmas Critters stamp set. 


I filled Santa's sleigh, from Ho-Ho-Holidays with presents from both that set and the Simply Celebrate Winter set. You can see how easily you can combine your Lawn Fawn stamp sets - they all work together so wonderfully!


I switched up the sentiments on this card, using the Winter Narwhal greeting inside.


Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Scrap Shotz store to see what fun you can find in the shop!! I hope you have a fabulous week - whether you're starting your Christmas cards yet or not 😜🎄🎅
