Strolling Down Memory Lane - Christmas Gifts - with The Rabbit Hole Designs Warm & Cozy stamp set

Hello crafty friends are you ready to take a stroll down memory lane? Today we are taking a look back at one of my favorite simple cards created for The Rabbit Hole Designs. You see a neutral gray tone winter background paired with this colorful snowman created for last years World Card Making Day 2023. Let's revisit this clean and simple winter card:

Wishing you a very Happy World Cardmaking Day! Thank you for stopping by to check out today's fun snowman card.

I created this adorable snowman card featuring The Rabbit Hole Designs' Warm & Cozy stamp set and coordinating dies. The stamp set is an Agota Pop Illustration.

The background for this card is created using two pale grey cardstocks, one printed and one solid color. I die cut individual trees from the solid pale grey cardstock and the tree line from the pale grey snowflake printed cardstock using dies from my craft stash. The die cuts are glued to a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of the printed cardstock to created a subtle tone on tone card front.

The snowman is stamped and colored with OLO markers before die cutting and adding to the card front with adhesive foam squares.

The sentiment is stamped on the card front and a few snowflake embelishments are added. The card front is glued to a 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" light tan cardstock layer and adhered to a white A2 card base.

Revisiting a fun step tutorial for this Whimsy and Bright Holiday Shaker Card!

Hello crafty friends! Today we are revisiting this fun holiday shaker card from last November! Here is a great idea to get more use of your stencils! I love how this whimsical tree background turned out! It is created with six of The Rabbit Hole Designs stencils and it is a super easy technique!

This card also uses a whopping 13 of The Rabbit Hole Designs products! WOW! Six are stencils revolving around the Beam of Light Stencil. This is used for all the bright holiday trees in the back ground. Each one is stenciled in a different color combo with another stencil for the pattern on the tree. 3 stamps and dies - Warm and Cozy stamp set, the Poinsettia & Pinecone stamps and coordinating dies, and the You've Been Framed die set. I also use three essentials; the Cottontail Embossing Powder Tool, Cottontail blending Brushes and the A2 Shaker Acetate Sheets. Whew!

This may be a record, LOL!

Let's go ahead and take a look at the steps and techniques!

I use the Beam of Light stencil to create holiday trees.

A - Start with a piece of 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" piece of white cardstock for your card front. Position the Beam of Light stencil on the card front. Secure it with low tack paper tape like Mint Tape. Using a Cottontail Blending Brush and a light green ink and stencil the beam.

B & C - I placed the Mesh-Optical Illusion stencil over the Beam of Light stencil and secure it with low tack tape. I used the blending brush to stencil a darker green ink over the top to create a patterned triangle (for the tree).

D - Using Masking Magic, I traced and cut out the Beam of Light shape 5 times and use one to mask off the green stenciled tree.

E & F - After cleaning off the stencils, I place the Beam of Light stencil on the card front just left and higher than the masked off green tree. I repeated the same stenciling steps, but choose a light and medium pink ink with the Splish Splash stencil.

G - I removed the stencils and masked of the pink tree. After cleaning the stencil, I repeated the process three more times.

H & I - The third tree is stenciled with bright green ink (a light and medium shade) with the Mid-Century Modern #1 stencil. The fourth tree uses light and medium teal ink with the Taste Like Honey stencil. The fifth and final tree uses light an medium purple ink with the Cat Eye stencil.

J - After masking off the last tree, I used Prize Ribbon and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide inks to blend in a background sky.

K & L - After I completed the ink blending, I splashed a bit of water onto the background. Next I used champagne gold watercolor paint to add specs of gold in the background sky.

M - After allowing the background to dry, I peeled off the masking over each tree to reveal the card front.

N & O - I used one of the A2 Shaker Acetate Sheets and attached it to the card front per the directions on the package, making sure to leave a opening at the top of the card front to add shaker bits.

P - I added sequins and curl shaker bits and sealed the top acetate tab.

Q - I use the two largest You've Been Framed dies to cut a frame from white glitter paper and attached it to the card front with narrow red lines adhesive tape.

R - I stamped and colored the snowman from the Warm and Cozy stamp set with OLO markers.

S - I use the Cottontail Embossing Powder Tool to prep a piece of black card stock foe heat embossing. Using my stamping tool, I stamped Poinsettia & Pinecone sentiment "Merry" "and bright" with clear embossing ink. I heat set both using a white glitter embossing powder. The sentiment is die cut using the coordinating dies.

T - I added the sentiment to the bottom of the card front and glued the Snowman in the lower right corner just above the sentiment. The finished card front is added to a white A2 card base.

Such a Cool Friend! - A look back a Warm & Cozy stamp set

Today we are taking a look back to July 2023 and revisiting this cool card.

Hello crafty friend! I hope you are keeping cozy during The Rabbit Hole Designs Christmas in July Release.

Today I am on The Rabbit Hole Designs blog with these two flakes friends. They are keeping it cool and stylish with their colorful hats and scarves. I am using the Warm and Cozy stamp set and coordinating die set. I used a retired candy twist stencil from my stash for the backgroundin the oval.

I stamped the snowmen in a light pink ink on coloring cardstock and colored them with soft blue, yellow green, and red OLO Markers. I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the oval and popped up the snowman image with adhesive foam tape. The background layer is a 4" x 5 1/4" Christmas red cardstock with flecks of white gold water color to make a snowy background. I rounded the four corners of both the red card front and the white A2 card base and glued them together. I added the oval layer with images on top to complete the card.
