Elegant Christmas Cards using the Season of Wonder Collection

Hello! Jen Kotas is here today with three cards featuring the Stampendous Season of Wonder Collection. This beautiful collection includes two die sets and two stamp sets. This is the perfect opportunity to create a shaped card and make an elegant wreath card. I enjoy creating ink-blended backgrounds but if I’m creating one or two why not create a few extras for other card ideas. I made two Halloween card backgrounds at the same time as these three backgrounds using some of the same inks.

1. Ink blend a piece of white cardstock with light and dark teal colors then splatter with similar metallic ink and white acrylic paint. Set aside to dry.
2. Die cut the dove and script sentiment from the Peace Dove Etched Dies out of white glitter cardstock. Cut the sentiment twice more from white cardstock and adhere together.
3. Die cut the rest of the sentiment once from Indigo cardstock and twice from white cardstock. Adhere together.
4. Add inked panel to an A2 card base then adhere dove with liquid glue on body and a bit at where the wings join. Leave most of the wing to move freely.
5. Adhere die cut sentiments. Finish with a Onyx Color Essentials Gems for eye and Opal Color Essentials Gems throughout.

1. Die cut the nativity insert from the Christmas Morning Nativity Etched Dies out of Onyx and Brushed Black Cardstock with the star die included.
2. Use the die cut as a guide to ink up a background with yellow and light and dark teal colors then splatter with metallic ink and white acrylic paint. Set side to dry.
3. Cut a shaped card panel with the nativity insert die from Christmas Morning Nativity Etched Dies. Hang the left side of die off a folded card base just slightly and run through Platinum 6.
4. Adhere the die cuts together then to inked panel. Cut along edge to remove any cardstock outside of die cut. Adhere to shaped card base.

1. Trace a circle with pencil on an A2 panel for the desired size wreath.
2. Add a light teal ink from center of circle fading out then stamp the sentiment from Christmas Blessings Sentiments Clear Stamp Set using same teal ink.
3. Die cut greenery from Peace Dove out of two colors of green cardstock. Begin with largest die cuts and adhere to the pencil line, filling in with smaller and smaller pieces.
4. Add to an A2 card base and adhere Red Color Essentials Gems throughout wreath.
