Hello! It's Lauren on the blog today sharing my pretty, white and blue poinsettia thank you card. I used my colored pencils with the Poinsettia and Pinecones stamp set and created a subtle brick background using the Back Alley stencil.

Elegant Christmas Card- Revisited



 Hi there! It's Lauren here revisiting my easy yet elegant Christmas card using the beautiful Poinsettia & Pinecones stamp and die sets illustrated by Kelly Taylor.

I first prepared my white 4.23x5.48" cardstock panel for embossing by using the Cottontail Embossing Powder Tool. I then lined up and stamped my image onto the cardstock using my embossing ink pad. I covered the image with silver embossing powder, tapped off the excess and then heat set it. 

I then repeated the process, stamping the Merry Christmas words, embossing them in silver and then using the coordinating dies to cut them out. I also die cut 3 extra blank words and adhered them behind the corresponding embossed words. 



Finally, I adhered the embossed poinsettia panel onto a white, A2 sized (4.25x5.5) top folding card base. Then, I adhered the Merry Christmas words on to finish my card.

I hope this has inspired you to give this easy technique for creating a beautiful Christmas card a try. Thanks for visiting!

Merry & Bright New Year

 Hello and welcome back to the blog; it's Rick back with you again today sharing another card for a little festive inspiration.  Since the New Year is only a few days away I wanted to share an idea with you using a holiday stamp set that I am sure many of you have picked up from the Rabbit Hole this year.    Today my card features the Poinsettia & Pinecones Stamp Set designed by Kelly Taylor.  


Poinsettia & Pinecone New Year Card by Rick Adkins

I wanted to take the poinsettia from the stamp set and add a little glamor to it by using some Pearl White Stencil Butter that can be picked up right here on the website.  I ran it through the Cat Eye Stencil on a piece of black cardstock.   I then added it to a silver cardstock mat and to the card base.  This dresses up the card base and makes it more of a new year card than a holiday card.  I then stamped and heat embossed the large poinsettia also on black cardstock; and colored it in different shades of blue colored pencils.  

Poinsettia & Pinecones New Year Card by Rick Adkins

By doing these few simple things I took the Christmas card and make it into a new year card.  The sentiment Merry and bright can totally go for not only Christmas but also new year as well.  Just make sure you add a fabulous new year sentiment to the inside in your personal message and your golden.  By changing up your color scheme and adding a little more glitz to your cards you can totally take a holiday set and make it into a new year set or change up the sentiment and make it a birthday card as well.  Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you all have a safe and happy new year.  And I will see you again real soon. 

Stay Crafty

Easy Happy Anniversary Card

 Hello and welcome back to the blog; it's Rick and I am back to share another one of my favorite cards with you from this year.  Today I am sharing one of my favorite stamp sets from the Rabbit Hole Designs illustrated by Kelly Taylor.  If you don't know I am a big fan of her work.  My card today is an anniversary card that I created using her first stamp set; Lovely Lilies.  It was a must have for me as I am sure most of you feel the same way.  

Lovely Lilies Anniversary Card by Rick Adkins


For my card I actually die cut glitter cardstock using the Falling Leaves Dies and pressed them into the background cardstock using my die cutting machine.  I then stamped and colored the liles and cut them out with the coordinating Lovely Lilies Dies before attaching the bouquet to the card base.  I then simply added the Happy Scripty Word Die and a sentiment from the Happy Scripty Stamp Set to finish off the card.

Shimmery Christmas Poinsettias



 Hello! It's Lauren here today sharing this super shimmery Christmas card using the Poinsettia and Pinecones stamp set illustrated by Kelly Taylor. 

I stamped the single poinsettia image 3 times and 5 leaf images onto watercolor paper. I colored them using my watercolor pencils. When the images were dry, I went over each petal and leaf with a light layer of gorgeous, shimmery, Iuile Watercolors. I fussy cut them out once they were completely dry. 


While my poinsettias and leaves were drying, I created a silvery, watercolor background on watercolor paper. I brushed water onto my paper where I wanted the watercolor to be, then I started adding the silver color (Prism) and allowed it to flow ad spread out on the wet area of the paper. Once I was happy with the amount of color coverage, I set it aside to dry.


Then I splattered the panel with the same Prism ink and let it dry. I also painted around the edges of a white top folding A2 sized card base. 



I then created my sentiment by stamping the words Merry Christmas in black ink onto watercolor paper that I had already colored with the Prism watercolor. I then die cut my words out using the Poinsettia coordinating die set.


 Once all my card elements were dry, I adhered them onto my water-colored panel. Then I adhered that onto my card base.



Christmas is the best time of year for all kinds of shimmer and shine and this card is overflowing with it! Below are links to products I used to create my card. Thanks so much for visiting!

Fall Color Palette Tips for Lovely Lilies

Hello and welcome back to The Rabbit Hole Designs Blog.  It's Rick here with you again today for another fun card making adventure.  Today I am sharing not one but two cards with you today using the Lovely Lilies Stamp Set and the Lovely Lilies Dies.   This fabulous stamp set was designed by Kelly Taylor or Kelly Taylor Cards.  The Reason I am sharing two cards with you today is because I wanted to take a minute and talk to you about the importance of color; and how color can change the mood or feel of a card design.  


Lovely Lilies Fall Themed Cards by Rick Adkins

Choosing the right colors for your card design is like picking the perfect paint for a masterpiece. The colors you select have the power to convey emotions, set the mood, and leave a lasting impression on the recipient.

Gathering Inspiration:

To start your color journey, gather some inspiration. The Fall season is a goldmine for colors. The changing leaves, the warm and cozy ambiance – it's a perfect place to start. Take a walk outside and soak in the rich, earthy hues of the season. Collect fallen leaves, and you might just find your perfect color palette.

Lovely Lilies Fall Y'all Card by Rick Adkins


Speaking of inspiration, I once found a beautiful acorn in my backyard that had this incredible blend of deep browns, warm oranges, and a hint of soft lavender. It was my aha moment for a Fall-themed card. Sometimes, inspiration strikes when you least expect it.

Selecting Colors for Your Lovely Lilies Card:

Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty of selecting colors for your Lovely Lilies card. Start by taking a good look at the stamp set. The Lovely Lilies set has such intricate details, and I love how it perfectly captures the beauty of Fall flowers. Consider the elements you want to highlight in your design, and that should guide your color choices.

For me, this set screams Fall with its graceful lilies. I tend to lean towards rich, warm tones like deep oranges, golden yellows, and soft reds for this type of stamp. But you can also balance those warm hues with some cool shades to create contrast and make the design pop.

Color Combinations for Fall-themed Cards:

When it comes to Fall, there are a few classic color palettes that never fail to impress. Think about pairing warm browns with deep greens or soft purples with burnt oranges. It's like a warm, cozy sweater for your card. But don't be afraid to mix it up and add unexpected colors like teal or mauve – that's where the magic happens.

Tips for Experimentation:

Once you've got a few color ideas in mind, start experimenting. Create some color swatches and test out different combinations on scrap paper. Seeing the colors side by side can help you make the final decision. And, trust me, it's so satisfying when you find that perfect match!

I also love using color inspiration boards and tools. Pinterest is a treasure trove of color palettes, and it's a fantastic resource for exploring different combinations. You might stumble upon a palette you've never thought of before.

Examples of Fall-themed Lovely Lilies Cards:

To get your creative juices flowing, I've prepared some Lovely Lilies card designs with various color palettes. You'll see how each combination conveys a different mood and feel. So, take a look, and I hope it inspires you to embark on your own color adventure.
