Winnie North Pole – Handmade Christmas Card

I’m doing some Christmas Card Making using digital stamps from Polkadoodles Winnie North Pole range and Cosy Christmas papers from The Works.

Digital Stamping

The Digi image is from Polkadoodles, part of their Winnie North Pole range. 

I print my digital stamps onto Ultimate Graphic 160gsm paper. It’s bright white so my colours really pop and it’s super smooth surface makes blending easier.

I’ve coloured this little cutie with my Winsor & Newton BrushMarkers. Here’s the shade’s I’ve used:

Promarker Brush Colours – Skin

Promarker Brush Colours – Reds

Promarker Brush Colours – Greens

Designer Papers

I picked up this cute little design pad from the Works last Christmas. It was only £1.50 so I couldn’t not buy it, lol. I tend to reach for dark and traditional Christmas colour schemes and that felt like the right fit for the cute images in the Polkadoodles Winnie North Pole range.

Die Cutting

On this card I have used an old Hobbycraft mini Snowflake Die set. I’ve cut the snowflakes shapes out of holographic card.

I’ve added a little silver gem to the centre of each snowflake for a little extra touch of sparkle.

Using Distress Inks

I like to use distress inks to add a bit of colour around my images. I use a Blending Tool to sweep the ink onto the edges of my die cut shape. For this card I’ve used Festive Berries and Evergreen Bough.

And of course what Christmas Card would be complete without a touch of glitter!?! I love the Ranger Stickles Glitter Glues. They are super glittery and the very fine nozzle makes it really easy to apply the glitter exactly where you want it.

Greeting

I’ve got some old Papermania Create Christmas die cut sentiments that were the perfect finishing touch to this Christmas card.

Take a Peak Inside

I think it’s such a shame to receive a beautifully decorated card only to open it and be faced with a blank page. So I use more of my designer papers to decorate the insides of my cards. I mostly use scraps leftover from the main design and a 9cm square of plain paper to write a nice message onto.
