Merry Christmas from Creative Impressions!

This super cute Merry Christmas tag stamp is great for cards or for decorating your packages.

Three points of texture create interest on this Creative Impressions Christmas card: embossing paste, clear embossing powder on the words "Merry Christmas" on the tags, and white embossing powder on green tree brads.

Emphasize the words "Merry Christmas" with clear embossing powder.

I used a Versamark pen and made small dots over the area of the words.

Sprinkle with clear embossing powder for a subtle highlight.

Creative Impressions green tree brads get a dusting of snow with a bit of white embossing powder.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas from Jan and the Design Team at Creative Impressions!

 

Happy Holidays from Creative Impressions!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  We hope this finds you well and anticipating a joyful and peaceful holiday!  Here are just a few cards I have made to introduce you to some of our new My Sentiments Exactly stamps along with our popular embellishments:

This first fun card was so simple to make.  I used MSE's stamp No. J338 and stamped the sentiment onto a piece of white card stock.  Then I hand drew a "light cord" with a black pen and adhered 5 Light Bulb Brads (90656 ) to various places.  All that was left was to mount the white card onto a red mat, then to a piece of patterned paper and finally to another red card.

This next card also very simple.  I used MSE Stamp Number  W360 and stamped the image with Versamark clear pigment ink.  Then I sprinkled red embossing powder on the image and heat embossed.  The stamp has an open space in the center for the tree.  I stamped just the tree portion of the stamp onto a scrap card, cut out the tree center, colored it with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and Gathered Twigs, drew some squiggles on the tree with a black pen, added some of our  Metallic Rounds (90670)  for ornaments and adhered the finished tree to the open space with foam tape.  So easy!

 I hope you have enjoyed these cards.  All of us at Creative Impressions appreciate  your business and friendship and wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Christmas Cards from Jan Francis!

Hello Everyone!  We have another treat for you today - Christmas cards by Jan Francis!  

Jan used some of our new My Sentiments Exactly stamps along with Creative Impressions embellishments o create these wonderful cards.  

This set Y604 has to be one of my favorites!  After stamping and coloring the image onto a white card stock panel,  Jan stamped a few more holly leaves included in this set onto scrap card stock, adhering  them with foam tape over the bottom leaves to add some dimension.  She used our  Bright Circle Bling (50500) to add some sparkle to the holly berries.  Our gorgeous 3/8" Satin Shimmer Ribbon in 70482 Tan was wrapped around the top and bottom of the panel, adding a beautiful finishing touch.  The panel was then adhered to a white card.

The second card features a digital download Poinsettia which was stamped, colored and placed behind a circle opening of a patterned paper panel.  Jan used our 2" Rose Pink Web Ribbon (70199) across the bottom of the panel and laid a pattern paper piece stamped with "Merry Christmas",   finishing with a Gingham Apple Green Ribbon  (80243).  She used some Pastel Circle Bling (50501) to add a few sparkles randomly on the panel.

We hope you have enjoyed these wonderful Jan creations.  More to come!
