Hello crafty friends, I have two arty Xmas cards for you today featuring images from the new Anita Jeram~Christmas Take II Release.
There are 6 new stamp sets in the new Anita Jeram~Christmas Take II Release and Colorado Craft is also offering bundles at special prices.
In this post, I’m featuring images from 5 sets to create these cards. No dies were used ( I fussy cut the images using scissors).
To create super cute scenes, I also used dies from a new crafty company called Pixi Dust Designs. The dies are adorable!!!
White Christmas Scene
Card Recipe
- To stamp the images and sentiments, I used VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink and the Misti- Stamping Tool.
- I used a British mixed media paper (ultra white) to achieve an arty look and feel.
You can use affordable white watercolour paper for the die-cuts and for the images I use Strathmore watercolour paper. - Images from White Christmas stamp set
- Hills & Trees Slimline die-cuts for the background
- Stitched Rectangle Slimline beautiful die-cut edge.
- To add colour to the images I used Zigs.
- For an arty look, I apply Stamperia Creat Happiness 2 Allegro Acrylic Paint Kit with a dry brush over the die-cuts and I also splattered the paper with white acrylic paint and black ink diluted in water.

Dear Santa – the Animal Post Office
Card Recipe
To create the scene ( Tree and grass) I used dies from the Spring Box Card by Pixi Dust Designs.
As I love giving Anita Jeram cards an arty look, I apply Stamperia Creat Happiness 2 Allegro Acrylic Paint Kit with a dry brush over the die-cuts.
I also splattered the paper with white acrylic paint and black ink diluted in water.
- From the Dear Santa stamp set: The dog and the sign on the tree ( post l better to Santa here).
- The tiny mouse in the hole of the tree with a present in his hand is from the But First Presents stamp set.
- On the tree branch the small mouse from the Sled Bunny stamp set.
- I also used the Shrew from the Best Gift Shrew Mini stamp set.
- To add colour to the images I used Zigs.
