Save Money: 9 Christmas cards with just 1 stamp set

Want to make handmade Christmas cards but don’t want to break the bank by buying up a lot of product? Don’t worry! I’ve got you covered! Today’s video tutorial features 9 different cards with just 1 stamp set!

I even used the same ink colors throughout all the cards and minimized the other product (just 3 embossing powders, embossing ink and a glitter pen)….. So hopefully, this video will give you some inspiration for your holiday cards! Or just ideas on how to stretch out a stamp set you might already have in your stash!!!! Here is a close up look of all the cards I made in the video:

 

One of these cards took about 20 seconds to make. Any guesses which one????

Vintage Heat Embossing – First Christmas card of the season! :) + free gift

Today I have a fun new heat embossing technique to share with you and you will be amazed at how easy it is! This is also my first Christmas card of the season using goodies from the new Catherine Pooler Holiday Release.  I’ve got a video to go along with it, so let’s take a look at that first?

 

You can mass produce these cards easily. To make it go by quicker, you can skip the heat embossing step and just used colored inks like in this card:

 

I really love the look of the heat embossing.

Create an eye catching background in seconds

I’m back over on the Wow Blog today with this card!! I adore Wow Embossing powders because they offer unique blends of colors to create stunning looks with amazing blends of color and texture! On this card, I combined two different blends (resulting in 4 colors on the background)…..

And the sentiment! HAHHAHAHAHAHHA! I loved pairing a snarky sentiment with such an elegant background! 🙂
