The christmas papers, hotfoiling stamps together with the 3D Decoupage sheets completely compliment each other so perfectly, you too could create wonderful cards like this.

For my first card, I created a background of one of the paper from the
Naughty and Nice collection, using one side (red) and the reverse side (golden).

CO726898 Naughty and Nice collection.





adding some foiling fun with the 
Modern Essentials Cut, Foil and Emboss decorative frame CO726465

Merry Christmas cards with Adriana

Hi everyone welcome back, today I have created a quick and easy Christmas card created with one of the new release the Naughty and Nice Mini stamp CO726913 Holly Sprig and teamed up with some inking fun with the Card Deco Essentials Ink pads. 

The Card Deco Essentials Ink pads are available in 68 colours, there are 36 Dye ink pads and 32 Pigment Ink Pads. I especially love the Pigment inks colours - as these can be used with embossing powders.  Here is the technique.....


Merry Christmas Cards with Adriana 









I will explain how I created this background of holly leaves, its so super easy and the effect is amazing.... 

1. Stamp the holly leaves around the card stock with Black Card Deco Pigment Ink CDEIPL025, while it is still wet, sprinkle some Clear Pearl Translucent embossing powder over the stamped image. Tap away all the excess and then
gently heat the embossing powder with a Heat Gun tool.  
The embossing image is ready to be coloured in.
NOTE: Create the holly leaves individually - so I repeated the same process 5 times , around the card stock.


 



2. Using the Card Deco Dye Ink pads and a craft or mixed media mat. Dab some ink colour on the craft mat, spritz with a little water and
colour the leaves and berries with a water brush and colours from the inks.
The Dye inks are perfect for stamping and another use for them is for colouring in images.
QUICK and EASY !!

Olive Green CDEIPU024 Dye Ink
Yellow Green CDEIPU022 Dye Ink
Red CDEIPU007 Dye Ink





3. Using the Olive Green CDEIPU024 Dye Ink and
Yellow Green CDEIPU022 Dye Ink with a sponge dauber blend the colours around the edges. Darker colour on the outside, lighter colour in the inside. These ink colours blend beautifully together on card stock.




4. Adding a ephemera sentiment and foiled frame using the Go Press and foil machine, for the centre of the card, a little red bow for an extra touch.






Here is my video on how I created with these Card Deco Essential Pigments and Dye Inks

Here are extra super quick cards using the Dye inks around the edges of the cards and also you will notice some of the holly leaves which were embossed. This time adding some finishing touches of the new 3D Decoupage sheets - they are so quick and easy to use... just apply foam strips or foam dots in between the layering.  Most images have at least 4 layers.

Foiling Donner - cut, foil and emboss die - so gorgeous !

Christmas Wishes cards - Super quick and easy cards

Hi everyone welcome back, today I have created a couple of quick and super easy Christmas cards created with some of the New 3D Decoupage Christmas sheets and teamed up with some inking fun with the Card Deco Essentials Ink pads. There are two different types of inks in the collection, there are the Essential Dye Inks (36 colours) and the Essential Pigment Inks (32 colours). There are a total of 68 different colours and gorgeous hues. 

Today, I have created the backgrounds of my cards using ink colour from one of the Card Deco Essential Dye Inks range. Using two different techniques. Once I created the background colour I just added some of the new release 3D Decoupage sheets on top the cards - super easy and lots of fun. You could get the little ones involved in making some super quick and easy cards.






To create this background below, Using the Card Deco Olive Green Dye Ink and a sponge dauber. I blended some colour over the centre of the card.  So super easy, the ink colour just blends in beautifully with the white card stock.  





Then adding a sentiment and foiled frame using the Go Press and foil machine.
Placing the 3D decoupage image from the CO727061 
Nature of Christmas 3D Decoupage sheet in the centre of my card.... How easy was that!!


For my next two cards - I created the backgrounds using a stamping block
and Card Deco Olive Green Dye Ink pad. CDEIPU024

Firstly I dabbed some colour from the ink pad all over the rectangle stamping block





I then spritzed that colour ink with water in a spray bottle.







While still wet, gently placed the inked stamped stamping block on to the card stock. 






Then heat dried with a Heat Gun.

The result is a soft colour hue background - perfect for the
a background for the 3D Decoupage sheets.  Don't you think??







The new ink pads from Couture Creations - 
Card Deco - Essential Dye Ink pads
there are 36 different colours




Card Deco - Essential Pigment Platinum Ink pads
there are 32 different colours
