Christmas In The Air - September

Hi Crafty Friends!

Well, what can I say? Autumn is here and it's high time to make some Christmas cards.

Today I'm sharing a couple of projects made for September's Christmas In The Air feature over at STAMPlorations. In this special feature Nancy and I are sharing a couple of Christmas projects each.

My first card features Sanna's new Holly Stencil in combination with my Triangle Flexi-Templates (due for release in early October), the Oh, My Stars! Mini Stencil, the Layered Lights stamp set and the Simple Christmas clear stickers.

I placed the large triangle template first on my card stock and then the Holly stencil over it to first sponge the holly with Old Olive SU ink. I then removed the Holly stencil and sponged the triangle.

To finish I added some stars from the Oh, My Stars! mini stencil, the stamped Layered Lights and the Simple Christmas sticker sentiment.

TIP!: Whenever I want to use edging on a sticker sentiment I use an alcohol marker rather than ink. That way it won't wipe off.

Next up is a card using another one of Sanna's new stencils, Winter Flowers, in combination with the Triangles Flexi-Templates and the Layered Lights stamp set.

The inside reads ... Merry Christmas.

Here is how I used the Flexi-Templates to create the striking background. I first lightly sponged the triangle in Aurore Izink ink.

Next I sponged the frame in Miel Izink ink. I used the triangle missing from the photo below to align the inner triangles as mask. It was used as spacer and I simply removed it after I secured the inner triangles in place.

I placed the frame back in and placed the Winter Flowers stencil over it to stencil the flowers in the center.

To finish, I layered on my base card and added some lights, sentiment and sequins.
