 Γεια σας, είναι Vicky, εδώ και σήμερα είμαι σήμερα με το μάθημα μου, όπου θα κάνω 10 καρδιά χρησιμοποιώντας από την καρδιά του Δυσσέμπρου από Σάιμο Σεστάμ. Αυτή η καρδιά έχει been already sold out but you can get the ingredients separately. Αν you like something, you can grab it, you will find links down below in the description area. Και είμαι also giving away one of these kits on my blog, so make sure to visit. Now let's take a quick look on what was included in the kit, so there was a bag of sequins in different colors. These are puffed stickers and they are all by Doodlebag. And I'm going to give you many options from this collection on these stickers. This is the stamp set that was included with Santa Claus and Mrs. Santa. And this stamp set is also available as well as its matching dies. This is again a 6x6 pattern paper by Doodlebag, which is also available. And I like that it's not into traditional colors, so you get pinks and random blues and many more combinations. And you get some of those pattern papers that they make a card on their own. You also get one in cube, but I totally forgot to use it in this video. This is glitter card stock by Tonic Studios. It's nice and sturdy and you can easily create your card bases out of them. And you also get a white and a craft one, which are not glitter. Now, I have a specific process when I am making these 10 cards. I always grab the card stock that was included in the kit, cut it in half and then score it in half again to create all my card bases. But since this is a specialty card stock with glitter, in case you want to hold on to it and use it for many more cards, you don't really need to do the card bases out of that card stock. Instead, you can just grab some white card stock from your stash and work with that. Before I start creating my 10 cards, I want to share one tip with you. I like to use my guillotine for cutting out my card bases. And I first score them and then cut them, as you can see. Now, this is very heavy. It's 110 doubled, just because I have already folded it. And I found that when I place it towards the top and I put down the lever, as the lever comes down, it slightly moves that heavy card stock. This is not a problem with thin paper, but I found that it's a problem with very heavy card stock. That's why I like to put it towards the bottom. So when the lever comes down, my paper cannot move. So I get straight cuts every time. I'm starting easy with my first card. So for this paper you can just bring in a die and just cut out a panel. Instead, I'm going to take it a step further and just show you how you cannot dimension if you wish. So I'm going to use my scissors and go all around the image. And I'm basically going to very carefully separate the furniture from the wall, from the background. Now, I've added some foam squares at the back and I'm going to slide it over my background again and stick it there. So now the foreground is dimensional. This gives an extra touch to your card, so it's not just a plain paper that you just stack on top of a card base. And the way I have created this new panel for my card is slightly smaller than the standard card. So I will make sure that I will chop off all the excess on the right. So I will end up having a pretty much a square card. Now you can leave this as it is or you can embellish it a little bit more. I'm going to add some of the sequins included in the kit on my tree. And I'm adding some dots of glue with my Nuvo drops and then I'm going to place the sequins on top. And finally I'm going to add some shine on my fire. So here is a close-up look on the card and you will find more photos at the end of the video as well as on my blog. Now let's move on to the second card. For this I'm going to stamp with black ink, the tree as well as the little card. And I'm going to place them as focal points on top of my card. Now you can recreate the same idea with pretty much any combination of all the images that are included in the stamp set. Because there is Santa, there is Mrs. Claus and there is also a little dog. So you can pretty much go ahead and create tons of cards just by stamping and coloring your images with your favorite medium. In this case I used my alcohol markers but you can easily use your Prisma colors, your watercolors, anything you fancy. There are also matching dies available for this stamp set which I don't have at home. So I just went the old-fashioned way and used my scissors to cut them out. Which is actually something that I love because I don't end up having that white border around my images. Now I'm assembling my card so I'm working on my white card base. And I'm using this border at the bottom and this is just a cutout from the pattern paper that was included in the kit. Now I'm bringing in a piece of red ribbon from my stash and I'm just going to tie a bow at the top of this border. Now I'm cheating just because I want my bow to be nice and perfect so I'm going to stick that ribbon there. And then I'm going to create a little bow and then stick it with a glue-toot on top of that seam. This is something that I always like to do because I struggle with making the perfect bow and I think that this way everything is nice and perfect. I'm going to use my scissors to chop off the tails of my ribbon and then I'm going to stick my focal point just over the ribbon. For my sentiment I'm going with one of the sentiments that says Hi Cutie and then on the inside I'm going to stamp another sentiment that says Merry Christmas. And again you can recreate the same card by using different focal points from the same stamp set. So you can put Miss Santa there holding a cookie or you can put Santa Claus there or the whole gang with Santa and Miss Santa, the cat and the dog. I'm going to finish off my card by adding some red glitter, Nuvo Drops on my ornaments and then with black Nuvo Drops I'm going to add some dots for the eyes of my cut. The next card is very quick and easy. I'm using this pattern paper with the advent calendar and I'm cutting out two panels which I'm going to use for my card. Now I am using the craft card base and I'm going to stamp one of the sentiments included in the kit with chocolate brown ink and I have placed temporarily both my panels on top and at the bottom so that I know where I have that space there. And now all I have to do is to add some tape adhesive at the back of these two panels and stick them at the top and at the bottom of my sentiment. And it doesn't get quicker and easier than that. Now here is a great pattern paper included in the kit especially when you want to create a bunch of cards out of it. So from this I'm going to cut out this label with the Santa and I'm going to use my scissors to go exactly all around the label. Now I also did some die cutting out of this pattern paper which is green at the back and red at the front. So I am ending up having two greeneries as well as this red tag. And if you don't have this die for the tag you can just use your paper trimmer to cut out a strip of paper and then create a fishtail at the bottom. Now I'm going to stick this as my focal point and then I'm going to embellish my banner with my leaves at the top. And of course if you don't have this die for the leaves you can use any die of leaves that you might have. It's going to look awesome even if you don't add that green at the top. Now I'm going to add some red ribbon through that hole at the top and just tie a bow with my white string there. And you can use this as a gift tag for your presents or you can place it as it is on top of a white card just to embellish it. And you can see how it would look here on a white card base as a focal point. Now instead I'm going to keep it as it is for my Christmas presents. For this card I created my card base out of this glitter paper but keep in mind that you can hoard it if you wish so so you can instead cut out just a piece as a panel. Now I'm working on a piece of white cardstock and this is slightly smaller than the standard card. So all I'm going to do is to just stick pretty much every sticker from this set of stickers all over the place. And at the bottom of this I have already stamped my sentiment that says all I want for Christmas is cookies and you. Basically everything's sweet. So I think this is super appropriate, it's a super quick and easy card and a great way to use up all those stickers. And just because this is glitter paper I decided to go with some strong tape adhesive at the back just to make sure that these two papers are going to bond nicely. Now I have the rest of this glitter paper that I have created into a card base and from the same pattern paper I'm going to cut off this little square. And the idea is to create a girly birthday Christmas card. I don't know if you know that but my daughter has a Christmas birthday so I always like to create such cards. For the sentiment I went through my stash and just stamped the sentiment each year birthday on a piece of white paper that I have cut out with a fishtail banner. And that concludes my card, it's super quick and easy but really adorable. And now we are moving on to the next card and for this I'm working directly on my card base and I'm going to stamp with dark chocolate. My sentiment that says Merry Christmas and all around it I'm going to use images from the stamp set and create my own pattern paper. Now this is one of the very rare times that I create one layered card which is something almost impossible for me since I always like to add dimension somewhere on my projects. And this is where I decided to give some love to my prismacolor pencils that were feeling quite neglected. So I grabbed those and I'm keeping everything quite simple so I will be using white for the white diptails on their clothes as well as their hair. And I'm also going to bring in red and brown. And I'm not adding any shading here, everything looks imperfect and very sketchy. And of course there are many variations on this design, you can work on white cardstock and with your watercolors or you can use your alcohol markers if you wish and do a lot of shading. For this card I'm going to use a die that I have in my stash by my favorite things to cut out those window tags. Now when I place these little tags on top of all those little images I don't know if you can tell but the images are quite smaller. So I'm going to fill in the gap with a strip of this pattern paper. So I'm going to stick that at the very bottom and then use my scissors to separate it. Now as I'm doing that, we can discuss a little bit on what you can do to work out the same design without using the same die. Now you can cut out tiny little squares or rectangles out of white paper, chop off the corners at the top and you end up having a little tag. And then on top of that you can cut out those tiny little images from the pattern paper and stick them on top. You will pretty much get the same look. So all I'm doing here is deciding which images I want to have on my tags and I'm very carefully placing those tags on top making sure that I don't end up seeing that number that every one of those images has. Just because this is actually a pattern paper for an advent calendar. Now I'm going to cut off the excess and my tags are ready. I created a panel out of the blue glitter cardstock and glued all those tags on top with foam squares and as you can see I have already added some white thread. Now to finish it off I need to add a sentiment and just because this is glitter paper I don't have the option of stamping directly on top. So either you are using a die that cuts out a word like peace, merry christmas etc. Or you can do what I'm doing, I'm just going to stamp on a piece of white cardstock the sentiment merry christmas, cut it out and stick it on top. And I used ordinary blue of Simon's stamp ink pad because I thought that was a great match with the glitter paper. So I'm adding some tape adhesive at the back of my banner and my card is ready. And here is an appearance of my card. Everyone was asking how ginger is doing. Well ginger is always great. He is usually sleeping just next to me. So there he is. Now let's move on to the next card. For my last two cards I'm going to work with the pattern paper. So I have cut out this beautiful pattern paper with the Christmas trees and I'm just creating a banner at the bottom just to add some more interest on that. I have also cut out one sentiment that was included in one of the pattern papers that says we wish you a merry christmas. And to embarrass it a little bit more with my white thread I'm just tying a bow. I wrapped it two or three times around this panel and now tying a bow. If you want your bow to be nice and secure there you can also add a tiny little glue to underneath that knot. Now I'm going to stick this panel on top of my card base that I have created by using the glitter paper, the silver one. But again you don't have to use the whole glitter paper to create a card base. You can just cut out a panel and this is going to save you enough for another card. For my last card I'm going to use the last card base that I have created out of this glitter paper. And I am going to add some tape adhesive at the back of this panel. This is a beautiful pattern paper and I just love the color combination on each of the sides. I'm going to stick some scraps that I have left over from this pattern paper that I have been using pretty much on every card. I'm going to chop off the excess and I have a lovely panel which is slightly narrower than my card. So this is going to make sure that I will end up having a lovely glitter on each side. And again you can use any type of card base and just cut out two strips of this glitter paper for the sides. This is going to save you way lots of glitter paper for many more uses. For the sentiment I'm going to die cut the marine bright die by Simon's stamp. If you don't have this die any die with Christmas message would be great. And if you don't have any type of this you can always use one of the sentiments included in the kit. Cut it out in a banner and just stick it on top of this panel. I cut out my sentiment twice one out of white cardstock and the second time out of the red pattern paper that was in the kit. And as you can see if you notice very closely I have stuck one on top of the other slightly offset. So this helps my sentiment pop against the very busy background. And here are all the cards that I created for today using the Simon's stamp December card kit. Well 9 cards actually and a tag. I hope I gave you some ideas on how you can use this kit. And let's take a quick look on all the leftovers that I have after creating all those 10 cards. So I do have the stamp set of course for my stash. I do have that little ink cube that has a gorgeous color but I forgot to use it. I do have the sequence of course. And I have 3, yes I have 4 6x6 pattern papers that I haven't touched at all. And a little bit of scraps here and there. And of course I do have some of that gorgeous blue glitter paper.
