Today, I’ve created something a little different – shakers! For the past 12 days, Trinity Stamps has been sharing different projects for their 12 days of Christmas and today is a party favor! I thought this would be super fun, especially for kids because I love to shake, shake, shake! You can even add a photo or details for your Christmas party on the background of the shaker — it’s a simple but fun parting gift!

There are so many ideas for holiday cards but this one is one that is cute and you can cater it to the person you’re sending it to by just swapping out the colors. Blue is one of my go to colors during the winter time and that’s what I used here.

Kraft cardstock is so underrated — it’s so great for holiday cards and give that cozy vibe, which is perfect for winter. I especially love it when it’s paired with distress oxide inks.

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the December 2023 My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts. There’s a ton of inspiration and the full blog lineup is at the Hero Arts blog. You should be coming from Seeka‘s blog and your next stop will be Jennifer. The full blog list will be updated below! This month’s collection focuses on letters and watercolor pencils! Here is a peek at the Classic Kit:
and the Premium Kit (along with the Classic kit items) includes:
MHP1223C Numbers Clear Stamp Set 4×6
Fine Line Applicator
Sea Salt Reinker
Gold Glimmer Metallic Ink
I have three cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit!
The first card focuses on the Classic Kit. I used all the items from the kit to create this card. I used the Watercolor Pencils with the Water Flow Brush to create a blue/purple ombre fading to white. I used the Alphabet Cover Plate Die to cut out black letters AND dry emboss onto my background (which is so hard to see in photos but it adds a subtle texture). I stamped the balloons from the XL Alphabet Clear Stamp and fussy cut them out add to the sides of the sentiment. This kit allows you to create any sentiment you want!
My second project actually features a planner spread using some of this month’s add ons, Weekly Planner and Months. I also pulled the Winter Town Cheer stamp set to decorate. The add ons create a quick planner spread and there are a bunch of elements to stamp out an easy spread.
If you wanted a visual of how I put this together, here’s the little video that corresponds:
My third card is a super simple one using the Classic Kit and an add on item, Message Basics. I used the Watercolor Pencils to create a rainbow background with the Water Flow Brush. I actually used the Alphabet Cover Plate Die for my first card and took the background to place right on top of the watercolor panel. To finish off the card, I used the Message Basics stamp set for a simple Happy Birthday sentiment.
Here’s a quick video sharing how I put it together:

I love this stamp set — it has all these mini scenes and I just couldn’t help but use all of them onto a card. It’s just the cutest isn’t it? The best part is it’s one of my favorite things to do when I’m a bit stuck creatively — stamp and color!

Here’s a clean and simple card — something I don’t normally do often. Whenever there are snowmen on my card, it makes it easier to keep it simple because everything is already white and I only need to color up the accessories. I still wanted to incorporate colors so I did it with the accessories and the sentiment.

Sometimes you just need an easy Christmas card — today’s card uses this hot foiled sentiment as the focal point. It’s a showstopper and can stand on its own but you can also pair it with some pattern paper for a quick card or here, I ink blending a Christmas rainbow and stamped a background pattern right on top. It was perfect for an easy card!

If you didn’t catch it, there’s a giveaway over on my instagram for Waffle Flower’s new Shader Brushes. I used them with the popular Postage Collage series, specifically the Postage Collage Christmas Stencil. It’s so helpful with the smaller brush sizes for the small details in this stencil. Be sure to stop on by for a chance to win and here’s a video of the brushes in action.

Have you tried to color on kraft cardstock? If you use alcohol markers, like I did, you can see that the colors are a little muted but it works so well for a holiday card like this one. I also thought there was a bit of too much blank space, so I used an easy trick to add a bit of gold to the card.

I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to create a colorful holiday card. You can use this cover plate in so many different ways but this is also a quick way to use up your scraps as well.

We definitely all have seen the holiday sets that have come out over the past few months, and still probably have sets that are in our stash from last year that we haven’t used… but you gotta get a little creative to use them for non-holiday cards. A simple trick of changing up the colors does that for you!
