Katzelkraft Masculine Woodland Christmas Cards

 

Hi friends!  It's Autumn from SewPaperPaint with you to share some Christmas card inspiration featuring gorgeous Katzelkraft stamps.

For my first card I really wanted to create a manly Christmas card and fell absolutely in love with the Into the Wild stamp set deer.  I watercolored and fussy cut him and mounted him onto a woodgrain oval panel.  I created the background by repeat stamping onto another inky panel.  

I finished with a long sentiment wood stamp from my stash by Penny Black.  

I was trying to take turns using each of the woodland critters in the stamp set, so I picked the darling bird on a branch image next.  

I followed the same process and used the berry stamp for the background this time.  Every single stamp in this set is very useful!

Finally, I managed one more card with the owl.  (Poor bear...)  I decided to make a shaker this time and used muted neutral colors.  

This stamp set was not specifically designed to be a Christmas set, but I hope these cards give you some new ideas and you will take some time to play.  xx, Autumn

Hobby Art Baa Humbug Christmas Sheep Cards

Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share some fun CAS Christmas cards.  I did a simple watercolor with the Baa Humbug stamp set by Hobby Art Stamps and fussy cut the sheep and santa hats.  For my background, I used a 3D snowflake embossing folder, which I sponged the edges lightly with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide.  I gave them a splatter of red ink, then mounted my sheep and fun sentiment.  I hope they make you smile and you're inspired to make some simple handmade Christmas cards today!  xx, Autumn

PaperArtsy Birds and Snowflakes Zinski Christmas Cards

 

Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share some Christmas card inspiration.  I had such a blast making these Christmas cards.  First, I used one of my favorite Zinski stamp sets by PaperArtsy, ZA35.  This is the third year I've used them to make cards, so I'm thinking this will become a tradition.  Last year I made the card below, posted HERE.

The previous year I made the shaker cards below posted HERE.  I also used JOFY01 and Jofy Mini Stamp 20 (JM20) and 30 (JM30).

This year I decided to pair these fun little Zinis with my favorite snowflakes by Tracy Scott (TS063).  I chose to do some multicolor stamping with Distress Oxides and water misting.  

I had so much fun with these cards, but had the new France Papillion bird stamps (FP030) sitting on my table and decided they needed some ink time too!  I used a sentiment and dot stamps by Sara Naumann (ESN29) to finish it off.  The background was a gel print made with PaperArtsy stencil PS309 by Jofy.

Studio Light Grunge Poinsettia Christmas Tag Tutorial

 

Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a fun mixed media tag tutorial with you.  I fell head over heels in love with the new Studio Light Christmas Grunge collection and had to snag some of the stamps from Topflight Stamps for my cardmaking this year.  For this tag, I used the Poinsettia stamp with the Dots & Stains stencil.  I used my Prism markers on Bristol for the coloring and the fab new ultra thick 6mm foam tape for extra dimension.  You can find the video HERE on YouTube.  Make sure to check out this fab collection and take advantage of the Cyber Monday sale at Topflight Stamps!  xx, Autumn

Crafty Individuals Mixed Media Mushroom Tag

 

Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a mixed media tag created with gorgeous Crafty Individuals stamps.  

I made an ink dipped background using Peeled Paint, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.  I overstamped in Gathered Twigs with the fantastic Counting Down background stamp.  

For the focal image, I stamped the Counting Toadstools stamp once over my background, then again onto Bristol paper and watercolored and fussy cut.  I added Rusty Hinge to complete my color scheme.  I love the dimension created when mounting fussy cuts over stamped images.  The coffee stains are similar to the Darkroom Door Coffee Time stamp set, stamped in Walnut Stain.  I finished by tying some sari ribbon onto the top with a piece of jute.

You may remember the card I made last year posted HERE with these same stamps.  I hope this will give you even more inspiration on how to use these fabulous stamp sets!

Katzelkraft Pumpkins & Mushroom Fall Cards

 

Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share some fall cardmaking inspiration with you using Katzelkraft stamps.  I had a great time using these stamps and trying out different designs.  For this first card, I paired an old embossing folder to make a textured background, over which I stamped the berries from the Into the Wild stamp set.  I fussy cut the twigs from the owl and used them for my spray.  

For all of my cards, I used mixed images from the Mushroom stamp set with images from the Pumpkin Fields stamp set.  I used a combination of Distress Inks in Rusty Hinge, Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint and Gathered Twigs.  For this one, I added some white highlights with a Posca paint pen.

This one was the most simple, but I really liked it.  I used the mushroom names to fill in the background and a combination of silhouette stamping with watercolor.  

For my final card, I used that adorable stacked pumpkin stamp.  The hanging berries are used in place of the vines, which I used to create the ground cover.  They were all so much fun to make and I hope they will inspire you today!  xx, Autumn

PaperArtsy Scrapcosy Mushrooms and Squirrel Tags

 

Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share an autumn tag trio made with Scrapcosy stamps by PaperArtsy.  Raquel is my absolute favorite designer and I was really in the mood to have a play with her fall themed stamps, so I grabbed a few sets and had a nice, relaxing play, resulting in these three tags.  I used stamp sets ESC25, ESC26 and ESC32.  

For my backgrounds I dipped each tag (handcut from Bristol) in Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  For the stamping, I misted my stamps before making the impression.  I used Gathered Twigs, Aged Mahogany, Rusty Hinge and Peeled Paint.  

I used Archival ink in Acorn for my focal images and watercolored them with the same inks.  

I used a woodgrain embossing folder to the die cut ovals to make the focal images more prominent.  I hope they inspired you today and you'll check out Raquel's fabulous range of stamps at Topflight Stamps!  xx, Autumn
