 Hello everyone,

I have 4 quick Christmas cards today with Element packs by CrafTangles. With Christmas approaching I thought of showcasing the beautiful Christmas themed Element packs - Watercolor Christmas and Christmas Animals ! Also here's a reminder for you about joining us at our ongoing challenge -Festive Projects and to inspire you with some Christmas cards.

You can use these ideas and cut your own elements from magazines, calendars and also reuse old holidays cards and give them a new look!

I have used a lovely car illustration form Watercolor Christmas Element pack for this card. To make a scene, I stamp on Caramel brown cardstock first with white pigment ink and then colored ink and add some snowfall and snow banks with torn paper. I have used the sentiment happy holidays from the stamp set From all of us and stamped with red ink.

Christmas card 2 - Ink blending on colored cardstock

Using a colored cardstock is a great way to not build biceps while ink blending. For this card I have used a beautiful angel form Watercolor Christmas Element pack. To make a scene, I have used Rose pink cardstock, debossed it and blended Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry Distress oxides with Blending brushes. I cut clouds out of Dual texture cardstock and vellum and layered above my ink blended panel.

Christmas card 3 - Create a simple scene

For this card I have used a cute Fox form Christmas Animals Element pack. To make a scene, I have used Dual texture cardstock and blended Salty oceans and Blueprint sketch Distress oxides with Blending brushes. I cutbirch trees and snow banks out of Dual texture cardstock aand layered above my ink blended panel.

Christmas card 4 - Adding stamped elements

I have used this beautiful Holiday treat platter illustration form Watercolor Christmas Element pack for this card. To make a scene, I swiped some light brown ink on Caramel brown cardstock and added a little details of a table cloth that I made with stamped checked pattern in red.

Here's a video tutorial to see how I made these cards.

I hope you are inspired to use these ideas, next time you are in a hurry.

Thank you for stopping by!
