Guest Designer Reminder for Christmas Craft Creations April 2024 Challenge - Non-Traditional Colours
Hello there. I’m back today to share my guest designer (GD) reminder card for Christmas Craft Creations (CCC) April challenge - Non-Traditional Colours.
please note: affiliate links were used in this post when possible at no extra cost to you… thank you!
I am loving layering stencils lately, so I pulled out the new Festive Poinsettia stamp and stencil sets from Alex Syberia Designs (ASD) to create my card. I wanted to use it this past Christmas, but my order didn’t arrive in time. Anyway, here’s my card.
On Bristol paper, the poinsettia image was stamped with Fade Out ink for a no-line colouring look. Next, coloured the image with two gradient colours of dye inks each in turquoise and grays using blending brushes. Die cut the image out with an A2 Stitched Rectangle Set 1 die from My Favorite Things. For some sparkle, applied clear shimmer to the poinsettia flower petals and for a bit of texture, splattered with diluted white gouache paint.
Joyful by CZ Designs from Simon Says Stamp (SSS) was die cut from black glitter paper and its shadow from regular white cardstock. Assembled the card onto a white card base, then added clear jewels from Memory Box to the poinsettia’s center to finish.
I would like to thank Charlotte and the CCC teams for having me GD. For more inspirations and to link up your entry, please click HERE. Thank you for stopping by.

Spellbinders - Glimmering Peonies
Hello there. I am sharing card inspirations featuring the Glimmering Peonies Glimmer Plate and Stencil Bundle from Spellbinders (SB) Glimmering Flowers collection released earlier this month. The glimmer plate is available on its own, but the stencil in the bundle simplified the process.

My first card is a RAK (random acts of kindness) encouragement card. It was hot foiled with Glimmer Pink hot foil then ink blended with Rose Petals inks from Altenew (ALT) and Black Soot distress ink (DI). Die cut out with a Fluted Classics Rectangles die and finished with a sentiment left over from this post.
My secind card is a birthday card. It was foiled with Glimmer Aura hot foil. The sentiment was another left over from the same post as mentioned above.
ALT Green Meadow inks with Shaded Lilac and Villainous Potion DIs were used this time for ink blending. It was then die cut out with the Notched Corner Frames die and matted onto a 4x5.25-inch purple panel.
