Hot Foil Ink Blending | Trinity Stamps

I love to hot foil but even more so for holiday cards. The cool part of hot foiling that you can ink blend right over it and it will resist the ink so I went ahead to ink blend some ombre green colors for these trees.

Easy Christmas Card | Trinity Stamps

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!

Coloring on Kraft | Honey Bee Stamps

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.

Mixed Media | Honey Bee Stamps

I can’t ever resist using an embossing folder with lunar paste because it just accents how cool the dimension looks! But with this snowflake folder and silver paste — it looks like snow and gives that very wintery vibe! I love it.

Color Palette Choices | Pretty Pink Posh

When I first started cardmaking, I went in with whatever I felt like coloring and would have to end up re-coloring because it would end up a hot mess. Although, I still wing my cards, I do go into them with a color palette in mind.
