January STAMPlorations Christmas in The Air Projects

Time for our 2nd Christmas in the Air Featured Project at STAMPlorations!

Monika and I look forward to sharing our Christmas projects with you.

 Never too soon to start your 2020 Christmas cards!

STAMPlorations has many wonderful Clear Stickers Stamps still available,

which are perfect for adding to artsy watercolored backgrounds.

Dots All Over Stencil, Tis The Season Clear Stickers,

ATC Tag Builder Dies and Crazy Running Stitch Nesting Dies.

I made the watercolored backgrounds using Distress Inks onto a ziplock freezer

bag.  Then spritzed ink with water and flipped over to lay onto ATC die cut Strathmore Mixed Media paper to get the smooshed results or you can do your smooshing 

onto craft mat or glass mat.

I used Distress Inks: Barn Door and Mowed Lawn.

 

Finished the cards by attaching the Fabulous STAMPlorations "Merry Clear Stickers" to

the dry ATC backgrounds. 

  Die cut card front with "Crazy Running Stitch Rectangle Die" and stenciled with ARTplorations

"Dots All Over" Stencil using glittery Nuvo Glimmer Paste..Moonstone. 

Let paste dry and then added the popped up ATC to the card base and Done!

Sharing two more Christmas cards using 

Tis The Season Clear Stickers and

ATC Tag Builder Dies

After making the 1st two cards,  I decided to make a couple more

cards using a Quick Clean and Simple (QCAS) design.

I added texture to the card base by dry embossing with a SU Embossing Folder "Subtle".

I had more backgrounds in my stash using the same smooshed technique as my 

first two cards, but this time

I used Yupo paper and Distress Oxide Inks: Faded Jeans and Pumice Stone

for a warmer effect.  Popped up the backgrounds with foam,

added the awesome "Tis the Season" Clear Stickers and Done!

Have fun hoping along and being inspired to start your 2020 Christmas Stash!

Hugs,  Nancy
